Pokémon Champions Team Cores
Popular pairs, trios and quads computed from real VGC Reg M-A teamlists synced from Limitless. Cores are scored by usage and Top-16 performance.
A team core is a group of Pokémon that repeatedly appear together across competitive Pokémon Champions teams. We generate pairs, trios and quads from every synced VGC Regulation M-A tournament, then rank each grouping by how often it shows up and how well it converts to Top-16 finishes.
Click any core to see notable placements, popular completions for the remaining slots, and example full teams used by tournament players.

Frequently asked questions
What are Pokémon Champions team cores?▼
Team cores are groups of 2, 3 or 4 Pokémon that frequently appear together across competitive VGC Regulation M-A teamlists. They highlight the most reliable Pokémon Champions partnerships in the current meta.
How is meta share calculated?▼
Meta share is the percentage of synced Pokémon Champions teams that include the entire core. A 5% meta share means the core appears in 1 out of every 20 tournament teams in our dataset.
Why do some teams not appear?▼
We only include events that publish full teamlists on Limitless and have at least 16 players. Teams from smaller locals or events without published lists are not part of the aggregate.
How often is the data updated?▼
Cores and stats refresh every time the Pokémon Champions sync runs. The timestamp near the top of the page reflects the most recent sync.
What does performance multiplier mean?▼
Performance multiplier compares a core's Top-16 conversion rate to the field average. A value above 1.00 means the core converts to Top-16 better than an average team; below 1.00 means it underperforms relative to its usage.
What is Regulation M-A?▼
Regulation M-A is the current official VGC rules set used in live and online Pokémon Champions tournaments. All cores on this page come from M-A events.
