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

The most common build highlights Sturdy, recurring held items and Relaxed 8/0/26/9/23/0. Its frequent moves include Flash Cannon, Iron Defense, Body Press, Protect, Thunder Wave, and Substitute. 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, Probopass has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, ground 4x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Tyranitar, Excadrill, Hatterene, and Venusaur appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
