Pokémon Champions Singles Tier List

This tier list ranks the meta-relevant Pokémon in Pokémon Champions ranked Singles under Regulation M-B (June 17 – September 2, 2026). Singles is the bring-your-team, pick-three, flat level-50 format, and Mega Evolutions are a core part of it: where a Mega form is what people actually play — Mega Metagross, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Staraptor — it is ranked as its own entry with its own placement.

At the top, Garchomp is the format's defining Pokémon: number one on the in-game ladder with both top usage and a winning record, flexible enough that no single answer covers all its sets. Mimikyu rides Disguise to the number-two ladder spot, while the Regulation M-B newcomers Mega Metagross and Mega Staraptor jumped straight into S alongside Mega Raichu Y. Bulky anchors round out the elite: Hippowdon's Sand Stream stalling, Corviknight's near-mandatory defensive pivoting, and Archaludon's Stamina snowball. Underneath, offensive staples like Meowscarada, Hydreigon and the Charizard Megas trade blows with the Hisuian Samurott and Aegislash lines that carried the early Regulation M-A meta.

Placements blend the major community sources into a simple S/A/B/C scale: PokéChamps' Regulation M-B usage-based tiers and op.gg's live ladder rankings for what's actually winning in-game, plus Smogon's Champions OU viability rankings, Showdown ladder statistics and Limitless tournament data via Pokémon Zone for competitive quality. Where in-game ladder results and simulator rankings disagree — Mimikyu and Hippowdon are far scarier in pick-three singles than in 6v6 — the in-game data wins. Expect a full reshuffle when the next regulation set replaces M-B in early September.

Think the ladder is sleeping on something, or that a fraud is squatting in S? That's what the vote buttons are for — rank the meta yourself.
