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

The most common build highlights Toxic Chain, Focus Sash and Timid 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Protect, Sludge Wave, Future Sight, Sludge Bomb, and Parting Shot. 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, Munkidori has important weaknesses to dark 2x, ghost 2x, ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Mimikyu, Incineroar, Annihilape, Infernape, and Kommo-o appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
