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

Meganium is a Pokemon that recently found its way into the meta due to its Mega Evolution and the ability it gets, Mega Sol. It is bulky enough on its own and can certainly hit back harder than what it receives.

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

Build 1: Full Offensive Mega Meganium

This build focuses on the more meta build with the overwhelming power of Close Combat and Dire Claw.

• Move 1: Solar Beam
• Move 2: Dazzling Gleam
• Move 3: Protect
• Move 4: Weather Ball

Nature: Modest (+Sp. Atk | – Atk) Ability: Mega Sol

Best Stat Point Spread:

• Sp. Atk – 32
• HP – 32
• Speed – 2

Build 2: Synthesis Meganium

This version focuses on staying healthy with Synthesis (which always heals the max due to Mega Sol) while still hitting major counters hard with Earth Power and Solar Beam.

• Move 1: Solar Beam
• Move 2: Synthesis
• Move 3: Protect
• Move 4: Earth Power

Nature: Modest (+Sp. Atk | – Atk) Ability: Mega Sol

Best Stat Point Spread:

Best Pokémon Synergies to Pair with Meganium in Pokémon Champions

Meganium benefits from teammates that can thrive in the rain or other weather due to Mega Sol, allowing it to use Solar Beam at will regardless.

• Baculegion: Generally a strong Pokemon and one that thrives in the Rain.
• Archaludon: A great offensive option that also generally runs with Rain teams. Meganium can also deal with Garchomp, one of Archaludon’s biggest counters.
• Pelipper: And excellent Rain setter that can use Tailwind to help speed things up for Meganium.

Potential Counters for Meganium in Pokémon Champions

Meganium is vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying and Steel Pokemon while in its Mega Evolution.

• Kingambit: Is rarely killed quickly by Sneasler and can knock it out with one Earthquake.
• Archaludon: A strong Flying Pokemon that can out-speed Sneasler and knock it out with Dual Wingbeat.
• Sneasler: Arguably the best Pokemon in competitive at the moment that outspeeds Meganium and can one-shot it with Dire Claw in some situations.

Teams that are able to control the speed game or that have strong Poison types will be a problem for Meganium, but in general, this is one of the strongest Pokemon in the format.
