Best Torkoal Builds in Pokemon Champions

Torkoal has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Drought support attacker is the safest option, while the Trick Room attacker gives Torkoal much higher damage potential.

Build 1: Drought Sun Support

This is the main Torkoal build. It sets sun for teammates while threatening Steel, Grass, Bug and Ice-type Pokemon with Fire-type damage.

Build 2: Trick Room Eruption Attacker

This version focuses on attacking under Trick Room. When Torkoal is healthy, Eruption becomes a major spread-damage threat.

Should You Use Torkoal?
