One very useful thing you can do in Pokémon Champions if you want a strong competitive team that can help you beat your rivals is to use ID codes to create replicated teams. In other words, you can copy teams made by other players that are already set up to perform at a high level.
In this entry of our guide, we are going to explain how to create replicated teams and what restrictions apply. We will also show you some of the best teams currently available online to replicate, and we will tell you how to find more codes easily.
Replicated teams in Pokémon Champions are a very useful feature because they let you directly copy a Pokémon team created by another player into your own account, with the same stats, movesets, items, and so on.
To do this, you can go from the main menu to "Training" whenever you want, and then open the "Replicated Teams" section. After that, select the "Create using Team ID" option:
When you select this option, you will be able to enter a 10-character alphanumeric code to replicate a team that another player has previously shared.
Below, we are going to share some of what we think are the best replicated teams and their ID codes for Pokémon Champions. These teams have been shared online by VGC players, so you can create them in your own game. Here are their details in short:
| ID Code | Team Pokémon | Creator |
|---|---|---|
| QGYAG5WE3C |
| LenVGC |
| D96E6SXLN8 |
| Xeb41 |
| HH3MF048VV |
| Its_WDMichael |
| PTVY9BE1V3 |
| SplashPlate |
| 9QTFUT56VM |
| Wiltank |
| K5N29KPU9T |
| NatusPKMN |
| USPG0CRAAG |
| kurbitoo |
Several of the Pokémon in these replicated teams are among the best competitive Pokémon in Champions, and they are already optimized in terms of stats and moves so they can really shine in battle.
If you are not sure what teams to build, or which Pokémon combinations to choose for your team, using the ID codes for the teams listed above is a great way to start playing, win matches and climb the ranked ladder.
The replicated teams feature in Pokémon Champions has its limitations, as you would expect. To start with, there are two important restrictions you should know about:
Aside from that, there is another important detail to keep in mind. If your Pokémon's stats, moves or abilities are different from the Pokémon in the replicated team, you will have to train them all through training so their data matches the replicated team. Otherwise, you will not be able to use them in battles.
So, eventually, you may need to spend quite a lot of Victory Points to copy the exact setup of a replicated team, depending on what that team is like. Keep this in mind, because the VP you spend cannot be recovered.
In the Pokémon Champions community, many players share their own replicated team codes online, whether through forums like Reddit, platforms like Discord or social media such as X, formerly Twitter. You just need to search in those places to find more.
In our case, the teams we have shared in this guide entry come from a Google document by PokePaste, a site focused on collecting replicated teams from Pokémon VGC players all around the world.
You can visit the linked document yourself to check out many more team details. Most of them, as we said, come from players who have shared them publicly on their own social channels. It is a good starting point if you want to find more team codes that are truly strong and worth using, especially if you do not know where to look.
