Meta Snapshot - 08 June, 2026

This week's meta snapshot features only a few changes as the meta settles for good after 8 weeks since the start of Regulation M-A.

Mega Venusaur reaches tier A with a 3.3% win rate increase. This is mainly due to its performance in rain teams last week. Here is volcaronavgc's rain team featuring Mega Venusaur that scored rank #1 in Hatterene Series W23/2026 - Champions M-A:

Rotom-Wash, Mega Scizor and Hisuian Arcanine each drop down to tier B.

Rotom-Wash seems like it can't find its place in the current meta, which translates into a lot of different builds being tried out.

Mega Scizor is having a hard time dealing with its counters, mainly due to Mega Charizard Y lurking around.

Hisuian Arcanine still holds a stellar win rate of 62.0%, but its low usage and performance mainly tied to one player, QueerCrocodile, who scored several top 3 finishes in a single week, make this number unreliable enough for it to drop down a tier.

The top tier Pokémon in Champions this week are still the same as the previous one. It will probably stay this way until the June 17 update and the new Regulation M-B.

This week features a new addition to our meta snapshot: top teams of the week! This section will cover the most effective teams according to Limitless tournament data analysis. Here are the top 4 teams of this week:

The main surprise of this snapshot is the presence of Sylveon in 2 of these teams, and the absence of Mega Floette . Its access to Fairy-type Quick Attack might be the reason why it's performing better than its counterpart.

There's also a clear signal that the #1 team, with 4.0% usage and a 61.2% win rate, is the most solid team to play at the moment.

The Pelipper rain team is achieving an incredibly high win rate of 80.7%, although its usage is significantly lower than the other teams in the top 3, which might be an indicator of a statistical anomaly. It is still a very solid and powerful archetype, so there's no doubt it deserves its place in the top 3.

And that's it for this week's meta snapshot! Thanks for reading, make sure to stay tuned by following us on X if you're not already part of the gang! Have a nice Pokémon week, trainers!
