How to use Greedent in the current VGC format?

**To use Greedent effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Normal type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Greedent appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Greedent fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Cheek Pouch, Sitrus Berry and Brave 32/32/0/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Protect, Belly Drum, Body Slam, Knock Off, High Horsepower, and Gyro Ball. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Greedent has important weaknesses to fighting 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Kingambit, Whimsicott, Dragapult, Empoleon, and Ninetales-Alola appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Greedent. Open the Greedent teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Greedent with other Pokémon in the active format.
