How to use Luvdisc in the current VGC format?

**To use Luvdisc effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Water type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Luvdisc 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 Luvdisc fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Swift Swim, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/0/32/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Entrainment, Endeavor, Icy Wind, Aqua Jet, Endure, and Protect. 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, Luvdisc has important weaknesses to electric 2x, grass 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Basculegion, Grimmsnarl, Incineroar, Raichu, and Farigiraf appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

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