The Pokémon Company has published a comprehensive competitive guide breaking down the evolving Regulation M-B metagame in Pokémon Champions as players prepare for upcoming tournaments and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships. The strategy overview highlights Mega Charizard Y as one of the format’s defining threats, with multiple successful team variants built around partners such as Garchomp, Mega Aerodactyl, Whimsicott and Mega Floette following strong performances at the North America International Championships and Japan Nationals. The guide also identifies Garchomp, Basculegion, Kingambit, Incineroar and Sneasler as the most influential non-Mega Pokémon while spotlighting emerging strategies built around Mega Scovillain, Mega Froslass, Mega Tyranitar, Mega Swampert, Mega Delphox, Mega Blastoise and Mega Gengar. Alongside its metagame analysis, the feature includes sample tournament teams and Battle Team IDs, giving players ready-to-use competitive builds as the Regulation M-B format continues to develop across Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android.
