Regulation M-C Tier List: Who Really Wins
2026-09-26
This is the Regulation M-C tier list for Pokémon Champions Doubles. It covers the 25 Pokémon doing best in tournaments, split into four tiers from A to D. For each one you get its win rate, how many teams use it and its most used move.
The numbers come from community tournaments on Limitless (Season 6), as collected by Pokémon Zone and read on September 26, 2026. They change every day as new tournaments are played. The ranking is not sorted by win rate alone: that is why Tyranitar (58.0%) sits in tier C while Sneasler (57.7%) is in tier B.
Almost every Pokémon runs Protect, often in more than 90% of sets. Listing it every time would tell you nothing, so each card shows the most used move after Protect.
Tier A. Raichu wins the most (62.5%), almost always as Mega Raichu Y with Zap Cannon. Gholdengo is the most used Pokémon in the tier, on more than one team in five. Hisuian Arcanine and Archaludon complete the top.
Tier B is where you'll run into the most Pokémon. Rillaboom is on more than half of all teams (51.9%) and almost always runs Fake Out. Sneasler (42.8%), Salamence (32.4%) and Incineroar (31.1%) are everywhere. Excadrill and male Indeedee have just entered the ranking.
Tier C holds Pokémon that win when the team around them is right. Kingambit is the most used of the tier (25.1%). Basculegion follows (20.1%) and almost always runs Last Respects.
Tier D. Garchomp is used a lot (13.7%) but wins only 55.4% of the time. Farigiraf and female Indeedee are there for Trick Room teams. Golisopod, one of the new M-C Megas, sits at the bottom.
What about the new Megas? In Pokémon Zone's Mega-only ranking, Mega Salamence is tier B (58.9% wins) and the most used Mega by far (32.1%). Mega Garchomp Z has just moved up to tier B (58.0%). Mega Golisopod is tier C: widely used (15.0%) but it wins only 54.8%. Mega Lucario Z is tier D (52.5%). Mega Baxcalibur and Mega Absol Z are not in the Mega ranking yet. The strongest Megas right now are Mega Raichu Y (62.8%) and Mega Gengar (61.6%), both tier A.
