How to use Gallade-Mega in the current VGC format

Gallade-Mega is listed as a Psychic/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 Gallade-Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Inner Focus, Galladite and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Sacred Sword, Psycho Cut, Protect, Trick Room, Wide Guard, and Triple Axel. 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, Gallade-Mega has important weaknesses to fairy 2x, flying 2x, ghost 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as aerodactyl, garchomp, charizard-mega-y, aegislash-shield, and meowscarada appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
