How to use Slurpuff in the current VGC format?

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

The most common build highlights Unburden, Sitrus Berry and Impish 32/0/6/0/28/0. Its frequent moves include Protect, Cotton Guard, After You, Amnesia, Dazzling Gleam, and Play Rough. 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, Slurpuff has important weaknesses to poison 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sableye, Farigiraf, Slowbro-Mega, Audino, and Snorlax appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

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