Rerolling in Pokemon Champions gives you direct control over your starting lineup, and picking the right Pokemon makes a measurable difference in how quickly you can compete. Five Pokemon stand out as reroll priorities: Garchomp, Hippowdon, Greninja, Wash Rotom, and Archaludon. They all function independently, fit into most team structures, and remain useful as you progress. This guide covers which Pokemon to target, the exact reroll steps, and when to stop rerolling and start playing.
Who are the best Pokemon to reroll for?
The best reroll targets share one key trait: they deliver results without needing a full supporting cast. That independence matters most when your roster is limited and you need Pokemon that can perform immediately.
Garchomp
Garchomp has a 600 base stat total, with 130 Attack and 102 Speed. Its Dragon and Ground move coverage handles a broad range of matchups, and its damage output is high enough that it rarely needs setup turns to contribute. Between its two abilities, Rough Skin deals damage to physical attackers on contact, while Sand Veil increases evasion during sandstorm weather.
Garchomp works in nearly any team configuration without demanding specific partners, making it one of the most reliable reroll choices available.
Hippowdon
Hippowdon controls the pace of battles. With 108 HP, 118 Defense, and 112 Attack, it absorbs damage and returns pressure. Its real strength lies in utility moves like Stealth Rock and Yawn, which restrict opponent options and create openings for your other Pokemon. The Sand Stream ability triggers a sandstorm automatically when Hippowdon enters, which synergizes with its Sand Force ability option to boost Rock, Ground, and Steel moves.
Greninja
Greninja is the high-speed offensive option. With 122 Speed and 103 Special Attack, it strikes before most opponents can react. Its Protean ability changes its type to match whatever move it uses, granting same-type attack bonus on every attack (once per switch-in). Greninja performs well with or without Mega Evolution, which removes a dependency that makes other attackers less flexible early on.
Wash Rotom
Wash Rotom distinguishes itself through form-changing versatility. It adapts to different roles based on team needs, and moves like Volt Switch maintain momentum by letting you swap into favorable matchups. Its 107 Defense and 107 Special Defense provide solid bulk, and the Levitate ability grants immunity to all Ground moves, eliminating a common type weakness.
Archaludon
Archaludon combines 125 Special Attack with 130 Defense, functioning as both offensive threat and defensive wall. It counters Dragon and Fairy types effectively, and its ability selection is strong across all options. Sturdy prevents one-hit knockouts when at full HP, Stamina increases Defense after taking damage, and Stalwart ignores redirection abilities and moves.

How to reroll in Pokemon Champions
Rerolling in Pokemon Champions requires more steps than most gacha games because each attempt needs a new Nintendo account. Here is the complete process:
- Create a new Nintendo account. You cannot reset progress on an existing account, so every reroll requires a fresh one. This makes rerolling incompatible with Pokemon HOME linking, since that connection ties permanently to your Nintendo account.
- Complete the tutorial and finish one ranked battle. You must use your starter Pokemon in a ranked match before the Recruit system unlocks. Losing the battle still counts. Completing this step provides Rerolling Tickets and VP for pulls.
- Understand that initial gacha results are predetermined. Your first pulls follow a fixed sequence, so your starting selections directly influence which Pokemon become available.
- Use the Roster Ranch to recruit more Pokemon. After clearing the tutorial phase, the Roster Ranch becomes your primary method for expanding your team.
- Continue rerolling until you secure a strong foundation. Stop when you have multiple flexible, powerful Pokemon. A combination like Hippowdon, Mimikyu, and Rotom represents a solid stopping point.
Is rerolling actually worth the time?
The answer depends on your starting resources.
If you are beginning with no external Pokemon, rerolling for a strong starter like Garchomp or Archaludon provides a genuine advantage in ranked play. Early progression becomes smoother with Pokemon that function independently, and a good pull reduces the time needed to build a competitive roster.
If you plan to transfer Pokemon from Pokemon HOME, the value proposition shifts. Access to a broader pool from the start diminishes how much a single reroll matters, and your time produces better returns from actually playing instead of resetting repeatedly.
All five recommended Pokemon work effectively from the moment you obtain them, which is exactly what makes them strong reroll targets. For additional team-building tactics and current Pokemon Champions coverage, browse more guides on GAMES.GG.
