Best 5 Tailwind Users in Pokémon Champions

If you are looking to control tempo in Pokémon Champions, Tailwind is one of the most reliable ways to do it. Here are our picks for the five best Tailwind users right now, along with why you would pick each one and how to get value out of them.

Talonflame

Talonflame is one of the fastest Tailwind setters available and excels at getting it up immediately.

• Priority Tailwind lets you guarantee speed control early
• Works best on hyper-offense teams that want instant momentum
• Pairs well with fast attackers like Garchomp or Lucario

Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl offers speed, disruption, and flexibility beyond just Tailwind.

• Extremely fast, often outspeeding most leads
• Can combine Tailwind with Dual Wingbeat to break Focus Sash
• Great for stopping opposing setup while enabling your own team

Whimsicott

Whimsicott is the most consistent Tailwind support thanks to its move priority granted from Prankster.

• Priority Tailwind makes it reliable in almost any matchup
• Access to Encore, Endeavor, and/or Taunt adds disruption
• Ideal for enabling setup sweepers or slower attackers

Corviknight

Corviknight is a bulkier Tailwind option that fits slower teams.

• High durability allows multiple turns of support
• Can stay on the field and contribute beyond Tailwind with Iron Defense
• Works well with bulky attackers like Tyranitar or Kingambit

Pelipper

Pelipper combines Tailwind with weather control for added value.

• Sets rain while providing Tailwind support
• Boosts Water-type attackers and enables rain strategies
• Strong pairing with Pokémon like Basculegion or other Water attackers

Each of these Tailwind users fills a different role, so your choice should depend on your team’s speed needs and overall strategy.
