Best Delphox Stats, Moves, Natures, and Abilities in Pokémon Champions

Delphox is a Pokemon that recently found its way into the meta thanks to its Mega Evolution. It is incredibly fast, has Levitate and hits like a truck. Delphox is a bit of a glass cannon though.

Here are two suggested builds. One will be the main meta build and the other an off-meta option.

Build 1: Offensive Mega Delphox

This build focuses on the more meta build with the overwhelming speed of its Mega along with strong offense led by Heat Wave.

• Move 1: Heat Wave
• Move 2: Psychic
• Move 3: Protect
• Move 4: Dazzling Gleam

Nature: Timid (+Speed | – Atk) Ability: Levitate

Best Stat Point Spread:

• Sp. Atk – 32
• Speed – 32
• HP – 2

Best Pokémon Synergies to Pair with Delphox in Pokémon Champions

Delphox benefits from teammates that help to keep it alive through shield, support and redirection.

• Sneasler: Arguably the best Pokemon in the current meta, Sneasler provides pressure through Fake Out, Close Combat for Dark Types and can take the focus away from Delphox.
• Garchomp: Any Pokemon that allows for Garchomp to freely Earthquake is the perfect partner for it and for its ally.
• Sinistcha: Another great support option that can redirect attacks with Rage Powder and help keep the Delphox healthy.

Potential Counters for Delphox in Pokémon Champions

Delphox is vulnerable to Water, Rock, Ghost and Dark Pokemon and can be very susceptible to Trick Room users.

• Pelipper: This is the ultimate counter for Delphox. Mainly because it can set up the Rain to weaken fire attacks, makes itself and its allies faster with Tailwind, it has Wide Guard for Heat Waves and Weather Ball to one-shot Delphox
• Basculegion: Basculegion can knock out Delphox in one move with most of its Water attacks and Last Respects.
• Milotic: A pretty obvious pattern has emerged here, strong Water Pokemon can really cause problems for Delphox and not only is Milotic beefy, but it can pack a punch with any of the water moves it almost always has.

Teams that are able to bring the rain, predict with Wide Guard or use Trick Room can really be a problem for Delphox.
