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

Scovillain is a Pokemon that recently found its way into the meta, thanks to its Mega Evolution and known VGC Player, Wolfey, using it to reach rank 1 in Pokemon Champions. Spicy Spray has made it so that Scovillain is very much in play depending on the team.

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

• Move 4: Protect

Nature: Calm (+Sp. Def | –  Atk) Ability: Spicy Spray

Best Stat Point Spread:

• Move 1: Flamethrower
• Move 2: Giga Drain
• Move 3: Protect
• Move 4: Energy Ball

Best Pokémon Synergies to Pair with Scovillain in Pokémon Champions

Scovillain thrives with Pokemon that need Rage Powder protection and those that can take advantage of the Burn it supplies.

• Sneasler: Provides a lot of offensive pressure and can utilize the Rage Power Redirect of attacks as well as any Pokemon.
• Aerodactyl: The ability to get off Tailwind for free because of Rage Powder, along with flinches from Rock Slide help
• Archaludon: Not only can Scovillain Redirect attacks but the Burns halve Attack Damage which is great for Fighting Pokemon, arguably the biggest counter to Archaludon.

Potential Counters for Scovillain in Pokémon Champions

Scovillain is vulnerable to Poison, Flying and Rock Pokemon and can be very susceptible to Pokemon that ignore its Burn or Rage Powder.

• Pelipper: Not only can it set up Tailwind but with Drizzle it makes the Fire moves from Scovillain lessened along with Hurricane having the potential to one-shot.
• Aerodactyl: A strong Flying Pokemon that can out-speed Scovillain and knock it out with Dual Wingbeat or Rock Slide.
• Araquanid: Often runs Water Bubble, which makes it immune to Burn and halves damage from Fire moves.

Teams that are able to get to Scovillain quickly and knock it out before the burning begins can make it relatively useless.
