Whimsicott is listed as a Grass/Fairy 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 Whimsicott fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Prankster, Focus Sash and Timid 32/0/0/0/2/32. Its frequent moves include Tailwind, Moonblast, Encore, Protect, Sunny Day, and Helping Hand. 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, Whimsicott has important weaknesses to poison 4x, fire 2x, flying 2x, ice 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 garchomp, sneasler, charizard-mega-y, kingambit, and rotom-wash appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
