Tournament decklists and real match records for Pokémon Champions, ingested from Limitless, Victory Road and the official circuit. These answers read Reg M-C, which is what the format picker in the header starts on; change it and the tables above follow, but these answers do not. Win rates are shrunk toward the field average rather than printed raw, so a thin sample cannot top a board. A win rate is a team's record credited to each species on it, and items, abilities, moves and natures come only from teams that published a list. The figures in these answers are from the board published 2026-09-28; the tables above are live.
