Champions Team Cores

Pre-built three-Pokémon cores.

Hand-picked Champions cores that win games together. Click any core to load it straight into the Team Builder and round it out with three more Pokémon.

Rain Core

Pelipper

Ludicolo

Kingambit

Pelipper sets Rain, Ludicolo sweeps under Swift Swim with boosted Surf and Hydro Pump, and Kingambit punishes the switches that try to flip the weather.

Sun Core

Torkoal

Venusaur

Incineroar

Torkoal locks in Sun for Venusaur’s Chlorophyll-doubled speed and one-shot Solar Beam, while Incineroar pivots in to control speed and threat positioning.

Sand Core

Tyranitar

Excadrill

Garchomp

Tyranitar sets Sandstorm, Excadrill cleans the field at Sand Rush speed, and Garchomp adds an Earthquake spammer that ignores the sand chip damage.

Tailwind Core

Whimsicott

Sneasler

Arcanine Hisui

Whimsicott sets Tailwind, Sneasler crashes through the doubled-speed window with Close Combat, and Arcanine-Hisui adds priority Extreme Speed for clean-up turns.

Trick Room Core

Porygon2

Hatterene

Farigiraf

Porygon2 sets bulky Trick Room, Hatterene blocks status with Magic Bounce and threatens with Dazzling Gleam, and Farigiraf shrugs off speed control while pivoting in attackers.

Balanced Core

Incineroar

Garchomp

Kingambit

Three top-tier picks with no weather requirement: Incineroar pivots and Intimidates, Garchomp pressures with Earthquake, and Kingambit closes games once the field is opened up.

Cores are starting points, not finished teams. Use the Team Builder to round each core out with three more Pokémon and a game plan.
