Pokémon Champions VGC 2026 Regulation M-B Team Builder
Regulation M-B is a bring-six, choose-four doubles problem. A professional build needs several playable lead pairs, a coherent four-Pokémon mode into common boards, unique items, legal Champions stat points, and a plan for deciding which Mega option matters in each game.

Usage snapshot
Common high-ladder Pokémon
Usage comes from Smogon’s 2026-06, 1630-rating sample. It tells you what to prepare for; it does not turn the top six into an automatic team.

Core ideas
Start with interactions, not a top six

Tailwind spread offense
Priority Tailwind enables immediate Earthquake or Make It Rain pressure; choose Ground-safe partners and preserve a second speed mode.

Protected Trick Room mode
Armor Tail and Rage Powder protect Trick Room setup, after which Kingambit exploits slower turns and punishes Intimidate with Defiant.
Build check
Answer four questions before export
- Keep every held item unique.
- Map at least two lead pairs and the four Pokémon behind each.
- Carry speed control in both fast and slow matchups.
- Choose the Mega Evolution for the board, not simply the most famous stone.
FAQ
Format questions
Do I bring all six Pokémon into each battle?
No. The registered team has six, but you select four for each doubles battle. Team building must therefore create complete four-Pokémon modes, not just six useful sets.
Can the team hold more than one Mega Stone?
The pinned Showdown team rules allow multiple unique Mega Stones on the roster. Battle mechanics still permit only one Mega Evolution in a game, so each stone is an alternate mode.
Are standard EV spreads valid in Champions?
No. This format uses the Champions point model recorded in the current Showdown rules, so a 252/252 spread must be converted before validation.
