How to Make Pokémon Faster in Pokémon Champions
Speed stats of Pokémon in Pokémon Champions can be boosted in a number of ways, though some will never be quick enough to rival those on the list of the fastest Pokémon.
Selecting a Nature that improves the Speed stat of a Pokémon, like Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naive, can provide a hefty boost, with the counter being lowering one of the other stats.
Additionally, items like a Choice Scarf are also worth utilizing, which boosts the holder’s Speed stat by 50%. However, the holder is locked into the move selected until it switches out of battle.

While it won’t boost the Speed of a Pokémon overall, using priority moves can push your Pokémon to the front of the queue when attacking, with the likes of Fake Out, Shadow Sneak, and Trick Room given an advantage.
Finally, while Trick Room won’t make your Pokémon faster, it will reverse the turn order for five turns, resulting in slower Pokémon attacking first.
