Building a PB Ranked team

The constraints that are actually written

The team screen says fully evolved, no legendaries. You bring four moves per Pokemon. One gimmick per battle: Mega is once, on the Pokemon you selected, with the M key. Greninja’s listed form is Battle Bond. Formats change the bring count: 3 for 3v3 and Tag team, 6 for 6v6 and Doubles, and 6 brought with 4 sent in Pick 4. The preview line “tap 4” sits next to those sizes. I do not pick a single squad size.

On the 3 November 2026 usage table, the highest 6v6 shares were Charizard 28.82 (OU), Greninja 27.76 (OU), Garchomp 23.34 (OU), Metagross 19.99 (OU), and Lucario 18.23 (OU). The same table’s 3v3 shares were 27.28, 17.47, 12.05, 11.49, and 7.64. I am not calling that a best team. It is one 30-day reading. The full order is the tier list.
