Emboar is listed as a Fire/Fighting type 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 Emboar fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Mold Breaker, Emboarite and Adamant 32/32/2/0/0/0. Its frequent moves include Protect, Flare Blitz, Drain Punch, Close Combat, Wild Charge, and Burn Up. 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, Emboar has important weaknesses to flying 2x, ground 2x, psychic 2x, 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, farigiraf, garchomp, hatterene, and sableye appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
