Pokémon Champions Tier List

A live tier list for Pokémon Champions VGC under Regulation M-B (June 16 – September 1, 2026), blending two signals: 24-hour ladder usage from in-game play, and top-team appearance rate from recent tournament results. The combined score weighs winning teams more heavily than raw usage, so you see what real players are bringing to bracket — not just what the average player builds. Tiers refresh nightly. Below are the current S, A, and B tier Pokémon; the full M-B roster with C and D tiers is available on the Pokédex. For background on what changed in M-B, see the 22 new Pokémon guide.
