New Regulation Set M-C Adds Z Mega Evolutions to Champions

Pokémon Champions is getting a new competitive ruleset, Regulation Set M-C, and its headline change is the addition of Z Mega Evolutions. That makes this more than a routine ladder rotation, because any new Mega options can immediately affect lead choices, speed control plans, and defensive benchmarks.

For Champions prep, the key point is legality. If you are building for Set M-C, do not assume your current Regulation Set teams transfer cleanly without adjustment. New Mega forms tend to pressure teambuilding around dedicated checks, and doubles formats punish teams that cannot answer a boosted threat while still managing its partner.

The announcement does not provide a full viability picture on its own, so the practical move is to wait for the finalized rules list in-game before locking tournament teams. Once the set is live, early ladder data should quickly show whether these Z Mega Evolutions are centralizing picks or just matchup-specific tools.

Also, the wording here refers to Z Mega Evolutions, not a return of Z-Moves.
