Pokemon Champions Reroll Guide

• Account reroll: wiping your whole account by starting over on a new login to re-attempt your early free recruits. This is the gacha-style reroll this guide is about.
• Recruit refresh: spending or waiting to refresh the ten Pokemon shown at the Roster Ranch on your existing account. That is a routine in-game action, not a reset.
• Some guides blur the two. When you read that "you do not need a new account to reroll," they mean the recruit refresh, not a true account reset.

Only for a specific player. Everything in Champions is earnable through normal play, so rerolling just front-loads a strong, flexible core. There is one big catch: if you plan to link Pokemon HOME and transfer Pokemon in, rerolling is largely pointless because you can import a roster directly. Reroll if you are starting fresh, want a competitive head start, and are not bringing Pokemon over. Otherwise skip it and start playing.

• Make a new Nintendo Account. Progress cannot be reset once the game starts, so each reroll is a fresh account rather than an in-game button.
• Complete the tutorial. The Recruit system and the Roster Ranch stay locked until it is done. The Double Battles tutorial alone grants a large one-time VP bonus.
• Play one ranked battle with your starter lineup. This is required to unlock recruiting and your first currency, and it counts even if you lose.
• Recruit at the Roster Ranch, then judge the result against the targets below.
• Repeat on a new account if you want better, then settle and start training.

You do not catch Pokemon in Champions, you recruit them. The Roster Ranch shows a rotating lineup of ten Pokemon, each with preset stats, nature, ability and moves, and you pick one. The only random part is which ten appear, so this is closer to a draft than a gacha pull. There is no published pull rate and no pity, because you choose from what is shown.

After the tutorial you pick one of ten fixed starting lineups, each a lead plus five set teammates. This is the one time you get a full team of six for free. The teammates below are cross-confirmed across three independent sources.

• For Doubles, Tyranitar is the strongest opener: it is the only starter that brings weather (Sand Stream), and it pairs with Intimidate Arcanine plus Sylveon and Whimsicott support.
• For Singles, Pikachu is the most self-contained team, with Kingambit, Garchomp, Azumarill, Gyarados and Gengar all pulling weight.
• Charizard is the safe all-rounder, with Whimsicott speed control and a strong Mega option once you own the stone.
• Note two of the best reroll targets are baked into starter teams: Garchomp appears in both the Pikachu and Absol lineups.
• Either way the lineup matters less than the recruit you stack on top, and heavy early VP plus Pokemon HOME lets you replace most of the starter team quickly.

Reroll value is not the same as competitive ceiling. These picks rank highly as a first acquisition because they are independent, flexible and stay useful as you build out. S tier targets first.

• Stop once you have landed one or two S tier targets. A single strong, independent attacker like Garchomp is enough to start climbing.
• Hippowdon, Mimikyu or a Wash Rotom are all explicitly good stopping points.
• Do not chase a perfect board. Every attempt costs a new account, and the rest of your roster fills in fast through normal recruiting and HOME.

Replica Teams are shareable team codes, Champions' version of a team paste. Someone builds a six Pokemon team, generates a code, and you input it to copy the stats, moves, abilities and items. The catch that catches every new player: you must already own all six Pokemon and every held item, and applying the code spends VP to set everything. So a shared top-tier team does nothing for a fresh account until you have collected the pieces. Treat replicas as a build shortcut once your roster is established, not a way to skip recruiting.

• You start with three team slots and a box that holds thirty Pokemon. More team slots are a paid membership perk.
• Free box space grows as you rank up: your first promotions to Great Ball and Ultra Ball add slots, with a larger bump at Master Ball.
• A free workaround for extra team configs is to save your own lineups as Replica codes and re-apply them later, since you already own those Pokemon.
