Pokemon Champions VGC 2026 Regulation Set M-A is currently led by Basculegion at 51.50% usage. The top of the usage chart also includes Basculegion, Kingambit, Garchomp, Charizard-Mega-Y, and Sneasler, which gives the format a clear picture of the Pokemon players are preparing for most often.

The most common two-Pokemon core is Charizard-Mega-Y, and Garchomp, appearing on 1252 teams (21.5% of the sampled field). These cores are useful because they show which Pokemon are actually being paired together in tournament play, not just which Pokemon are popular on their own.

Looking at three-Pokemon cores, Basculegion, Charizard-Mega-Y, and Garchomp is the most repeated structure. That kind of grouping is a good shortcut for understanding the format: it points to the support pieces, offensive pressure, and defensive overlap players keep returning to.

The team list above starts with high-performing tournament teams, including TingusThePingus at 12-1. Use the full top teams page when you want to compare more complete team structures, source links, and tournament results.
