1 While there are a lot of options in Pokemon Champions, some of them are simply better than others, and this applies to some Pokemon types as well. 1 Different types not only deal super effective damage, but also provide a lot of defensive capabilities due to their resistances and immunities. Here are the best types to consider when building your competitive team:
Dark-Types
1 Despite their weakness to the fairly common Fairy and Fighting-types, Dark-types are arguably the best type in the Pokemon Champions meta. 1 This is mainly because the typing is a great check for the Ghost-types which can be extremely hard to check otherwise. 1 Additionally, Dark-types are immune to status moves used on them by Pokemon with the Prankster Ability like Whimsicott and Grimmsnarl.
Best Dark-type Pokemon: Kingambit, Incineroar, Grimmsnarl, and Tyranitar
Ghost-Types
1 Ghost-types are the most spammable STAB in Pokemon Champions. 1 While Normal-types are immune to Ghost-type STAB, there are very few viable Normal-types for high level matches. 1 Additionally, this means that Ghost-types are immune to Fake Out, a common Normal-type move used to flinch Pokemon on the first turn of a match.
Best Ghost-type Pokemon: Basculegion♂, Sinistcha, Froslass, Hisuian Zoroark, Gengar, Annihilape, Gholdengo, and Dragapult
Fairy-Types
Fairy-types are essential for dealing with the dominant Dark and Dragon-types in the meta while providing excellent support capabilities with access to moves like Reflect and Light Screen.
Best Fairy-type Pokemon: Eternal Flower Floette, Whimsicott, Sylveon, Mega Meganium, and Grimmsnarl
FAQs
Why are Dark-types considered the best in Pokemon Champions?
Dark-types are considered the best primarily because they counter Ghost-types, which are otherwise difficult to check, and they’re immune to status moves from Prankster ability Pokemon. This makes them invaluable for competitive play despite their weaknesses to Fairy and Fighting-types.
