What is Regulation M-B?
Regulation M-B is the official competitive doubles 3v3 format in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. You bring 6 Pokémon and choose 3 for each battle.
Team Structure
A balanced team generally has:
- 1–2 pivots (Incineroar, Farigiraf)
- 1 speed control setter (Tailwind, Trick Room)
- 1–2 high-pressure attackers
- 1 answer for meta threats (Flutter Mane, Landorus-T)
Team Preview Tips
1. Identify the enemy win condition (rain, TR, hyper offense).
2. Never bring 3 Pokémon weak to the same type (e.g. triple Fire weak).
3. Consider who outspeeds after Tailwind or Trick Room.
4. Fake Out + Follow Me defines many turn 1 plays.
