A new season of Pokémon Champions is here with Regulation M-C and over 20 new mons to try in VGC.
There’s a lot of excitement around the new Z Mega Evolutions, terrain setters, and new items like Rocky Helmet.
But one addition that has perhaps gone under the radar is the inclusion of Pawmot – finally after appearing on the battle menu since the game’s release.
Pawmot’s signature move, Revival Blessing, could shake up the meta as it can revive a Pokémon with its Mega Evolved form intact.
Move Updates in Pokémon Champions Regulation M-C
Considering Pawmot was in Gen 9 on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, this is the first time the move has interacted with Megas.
Previously, revive items in Generation 6 and beyond would revive a Mega-evolved mon into its original form, and it couldn’t Mega again.
Similarly, Revival Blessing would not have a Pokémon maintain its Terastalized type.

Forcing an opponent to defeat a Mega twice, even though it’ll only be revived with half of its HP, is definitely a solid strategy.
And Pawmot has been further buffed by the fact that Double Shock now also counts as a punching move and will get a 20% damage boost from its Iron Fist ability.
Other move and ability changes added in the most recent patch include:
- Meteor Assault: power 150 → 170
- First Impression: power 90 → 100
- Snipe Shot: power 80 → 85
- Slash: power 70 → 80
- Milk Drink can now target both itself and an ally
- Wish: PP 12 → 8
- Strength Sap: PP 12 → 8
- Politoed can’t learn Pound
- Archaludon loses Mirror Coat and Metal Burst
