I have hit A last night, as well, and wanted to give some of my own thoughts.

I've tried the big 3 weather beefcakes, and despite the torrential downpour on the ladder, I had the most fun with Primal Groudon. Its power and coverage is ludicrous, and I...
Been a while since I used Mega Golisopod as nowadays I prefer using regular w/ Life Orb, but a good and basic Mega Golisopod team would look something like this:

My end-of-2025 rankings for Season 4. This is somewhat ordered until B2, until I just said f it. There's way too many mons on this list, I'm not gonna list and order them all + there's some I either haven't seen or used.
I'll just talk about some of my highlights / notable mons:
