Top 300 Champion Tier Run Puts Mega Eelektross in the Spotlight

A new Pokémon Champions ladder video is drawing attention for taking Mega Eelektross into the top 300 of Champion Tier. That result matters because high ladder success usually filters out novelty quickly; if a Mega slot is underperforming, opponents at that level tend to expose it fast.

The headline takeaway is not that Mega Eelektross is suddenly mandatory, but that it may deserve more serious testing than early assumptions suggested. In Champions doubles, a Mega choice has to justify itself against both immediate pressure and long-game positioning. Eelektross has traditionally been valued for awkward defensive interactions and broad attacking options rather than raw Speed, so a strong ladder finish points toward a build that can protect it, create safe turns, and punish predictable switches or protects.

For players preparing teams, this is a useful reminder to test against less common Megas instead of only drilling the expected top threats. If Mega Eelektross can convert games at Champion Tier pace, teams that rely too heavily on linear damage races may need cleaner answers.
