Takuma Yamazaki — 2026 Pokémon Champions World Champion
2026-08-30
Takuma Yamazaki won the 395-player Masters division at the first Pokémon Champions World Championships, defeating Hiroshi Onishi 2–1 in the final. His dual-Mega offense combines Mega Dragonite or Mega Eternal Flower Floette with Choice Scarf Garchomp, three priority attacks, and Sneasler's Fake Out plus Feint pressure.
Core Pokémon
Dragonite / Sneasler / Basculegion / Kingambit
- — Mega Dragonite and Mega Eternal Flower Floette give Team Preview two genuinely different special attacking modes.
- — Choice Scarf Garchomp, Sneasler, and layered priority preserve tempo without a dedicated Tailwind or Trick Room setter.
- — All six official 66-point training spreads are public, including the specially bulky Kingambit and faster Basculegion that mattered in the final.
Sir_Aaron — undefeated Champions League VGC August champion
2026-08-08
Sir_Aaron completed a 162-player event at 12–0 by pairing the established Kingambit, Basculegion, and Sneasler core with the much less common Aerodactyl, Froslass, and Tsareena. The public sheet confirms items, abilities, natures, and moves, but not EVs, IVs, leads, bring-four choices, or the Mega selected in each round.
Core Pokémon
Aerodactyl / Sneasler / Froslass / Tsareena
- — Fake Out and Tailwind can secure the opening tempo before priority controls the endgame.
- — Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Froslass are alternative modes that change the team's physical-special balance.
- — Queenly Majesty, Defiant, five Protect users, and two priority cleaners create layered counterplay.
Aloy2023 — Sitrus Series #68 champion
2026-07-22
A dual-Mega, dual-Speed structure that can win through screens and setup, fast Rock-type pressure, or a redirected Trick Room endgame. Its greatest strength is the number of available plans; its main challenge is keeping those plans from competing with one another.
Core Pokémon
Klefki / Venusaur / Tyranitar / Annihilape
- — Reflect and Light Screen expand the setup windows for Annihilape and both Mega options.
- — Two distinct forms of Speed control: priority Thunder Wave and Trick Room.
- — Intimidate, Defiant, Rage Powder, and Hospitality provide complementary positioning tools.
Beni1 — Alpensee Tour #67 champion
2026-07-22
A control team that converts healing, redirection, and tempo reduction into setup turns. It can choose between Mega Eternal Flower Floette's special pressure and Mega Raichu Y's Speed control while Incineroar and Sinistcha maintain the position.
Core Pokémon
Sinistcha / Incineroar / Milotic / Raichu
- — Hospitality, Life Dew, Leftovers, Draining Kiss, and Bitter Blade sustain long plans.
- — Rage Powder, Fake Out, Intimidate, and Parting Shot create several kinds of safe turn.
- — Three setup win conditions force the opponent to preserve different answers.
shaikhvgc786 — Maddo's Cup #10 champion
2026-07-18
A dual-Speed offense that can open with immediate Mega Raichu Y and Garchomp pressure or protect Trick Room for Mega Mawile and Torkoal. Vivillon connects both modes through redirection and sleep.
Core Pokémon
Raichu / Farigiraf / Mawile / Garchomp
- — Fake Out, Rage Powder, and Armor Tail offer several ways to protect Trick Room or a damage turn.
- — Raichu, Garchomp, and Vivillon form the fast mode; Mawile and Torkoal form the slow mode.
- — Drought and Charcoal Eruption create immediate pressure once action order is secured.
JoeUX9 — St. Jude M-B champion
2026-06-28
The team JoeUX9 used to win the fourth St. Jude VGC Charity Tournament, a 728-player online community event, with a 14–2 record. The public sheet confirms Pokémon, items, abilities, natures, and moves but not EVs or IVs. Its 83.1 (A) score describes structural fit, roles, and plans—not a win rate or a simulation of the player's matches.
Core Pokémon
Charizard / Farigiraf / Venusaur / Garchomp
- — A single Mega Stone user: Charizard Y establishes weather without forcing a choice between two Mega options.
- — Incineroar supplies Fake Out, Intimidate, and Parting Shot for robust positioning.
- — Drought and Chlorophyll create an immediate fast mode between Charizard and Venusaur.
