Best Ampharos Builds in Pokemon Champions

Ampharos has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The bulky special attacker is the safest option, while the Mega build gives it stronger damage and Dragon-type coverage.

Build 1: Bulky Electric Special Attacker

This is the main Ampharos build. It uses bulk and Electric-type damage to pressure Water and Flying-type Pokemon.

Build 2: Mega Ampharos Special Tank

This version uses Mega Evolution to become a stronger special tank with Electric and Dragon-type pressure.

Ampharos stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Ampharos

Sitrus Berry is the safest item because it helps Ampharos stay on the field after taking a big hit.

Ampharosite is the best item for the Mega build because it gives Ampharos more bulk and stronger special attacking value.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Ampharos

Ampharos works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Ampharos Is Good Against

Ampharos is strong against Water and Flying-type Pokemon. Its bulk lets it trade better than many faster Electric-type attackers.

Mega Ampharos adds Dragon-type pressure and can punish teams that rely too heavily on bulky Water-types.

Potential Counters for Ampharos

Ampharos is threatened by Ground-type attacks and strong physical wallbreakers. It is also slow, so it often needs defensive support.

Ampharos Pokemon Champions Regulation History

This section keeps older Ampharos builds available in case a previous regulation returns.

Should You Use Ampharos?

Ampharos is worth using if your team wants a bulky Electric-type attacker instead of a frailer fast option.

The non-Mega build is easier to fit, while Mega Ampharos works best on slower teams that value bulk and stronger special damage.
