Best Pokemon, teams, and builds in Pokemon Champions VGC 2026

Pokemon Champions VGC 2026 Regulation Set M-B S3 Ranked Battle Data is currently led by Garchomp. The top of the usage chart also includes Garchomp, Sinistcha, Basculegion, Whimsicott, and Kingambit, which gives the format a clear picture of the Pokemon players are preparing for most often.

The most common two-Pokemon core is Charizard-Mega-Y, and Garchomp, appearing on 3435 teams (20.6% of the sampled field). These cores are useful because they show which Pokemon are actually being paired together in tournament play, not just which Pokemon are popular on their own.

Looking at three-Pokemon cores, Charizard-Mega-Y, Garchomp, and Kingambit is the most repeated structure. That kind of grouping is a good shortcut for understanding the format: it points to the support pieces, offensive pressure, and defensive overlap players keep returning to.
