    Trick Room in Pokemon Champions is at its strongest when the entire team is built with a single objective: reverse speed and immediately convert that advantage into sweeps. Given the current limited roster and held items in the latest title, the most optimal team still incorporates the core requirements of this strategy.

    Below is a single, optimized Trick Room team that performs consistently in both singles and doubles in Pokemon Champions.

    Pokemon Champions: Best Trick Room team composition

    Best current team revolving around Trick Room in Pokemon Champions:

    • Hatterene
    • Cofagrigus
    • Torkoal
    • Mega Aggron
    • Conkeldurr
    • Farigiraf

    This combination ensures guaranteed Trick Room setup, maximum offensive pressure during Trick Room turns and minimal reliance on prediction.

    1) Hatterene (primary setter / Special Attacker)

    • Held Item: Aggronite

    Moveset:
