The best support Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet’s competitive meta is a literal fungus

Outsiders might not understand, but one tiny mushroom has been the most consistent Pokémon in the meta since the beginning of Scarlet and Violet—and its tournament success and usage stats prove it too.

Amoonguss is no stranger to the Pokémon VGC meta. The mushroom was first introduced in Gen V and was the centerpiece of the infamous “CHALK” teams that dominated the Gen VI meta. In the modern Gen IX meta, we constantly see Amoonguss working alongside the likes of Flutter Mane, Iron Hands, and Ting-Lu.
