Decidueye in Pokemon Champions: Stats, Hisuian Form & How to Get
Decidueye is a fast-ish, hard-hitting attacker in Pokemon Champions with a deep utility toolkit. The base form is Grass/Ghost with Long Reach, dodging contact effects entirely, while Hisuian Decidueye trades Ghost for Fighting and a more brawling, physical identity. This guide covers both forms, stats, matchups, the best moveset, an SP spread, and how to get it.
Base Stats
Base Decidueye sits at 78/107/75/100/100/70 with even offensive stats, letting it run physical or special freely. Hisuian Decidueye shifts the spread to 88/112/80/95/95/60 — bulkier and more physically inclined, but slower. Neither is fast enough to outrun the format's top sweepers, so both lean on Tailwind, priority, or support rather than raw Speed.
| Form | HP | Atk | Def | SpA | SpD | Spe | BST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decidueye (Long Reach) | 78 | 107 | 75 | 100 | 100 | 70 | 530 |
| Decidueye (Scrappy) | 88 | 112 | 80 | 95 | 95 | 60 | 530 |
Type Matchups
Abilities
- Overgrow — powers up Grass moves by 50% below one third HP. A passive bonus, not a build-around.
- Long Reach (Decidueye) — all moves avoid making contact, so it never triggers Rocky Helmet, Static, Flame Body, or Rough Skin while attacking. Excellent on a U-turn pivot.
- Scrappy (Hisuian Decidueye) — lets its Fighting and Normal moves hit Ghost-types, and ignores opposing Intimidate. A strong fit for its physical Fighting STAB.
Best Moveset
Base Decidueye — offensive support (Long Reach)
- Poltergeist or Shadow Ball — Ghost STAB; Poltergeist hits hard when the target holds an item.
- Leaf Storm / Energy Ball — special Grass STAB.
- Tailwind — doubles team Speed for four turns, its premier support tool.
- U-turn + Protect — pivot freely (no contact via Long Reach) and stay safe.
Hisuian Decidueye — physical brawler (Scrappy)
- Close Combat — high-power Fighting STAB that ignores Ghost thanks to Scrappy.
- Brave Bird or Knock Off — coverage and item removal.
- Sucker Punch / Shadow Sneak — priority to patch the modest Speed.
- Swords Dance + Tailwind — set up or support.
Other notable tools across both forms include Nasty Plot, Grassy Glide, Defog, Roost, Haze, Air Slash, Hurricane, Helping Hand and Tera Blast.
Suggested SP Spread
With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), base Decidueye usually wants Speed plus its preferred attacking stat with an offensive Stat Alignment, while Hisuian Decidueye leans into Attack and bulk for a Swords Dance set.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A
Decidueye is an offensive support piece rather than a pure sweeper. Its calling card is Tailwind — few attackers can also set Speed for the team — and Long Reach makes it a clean U-turn pivot that never punishes itself on contact effects. It threatens spread cores with Ghost and Grass STAB and disrupts with Defog or Haze.
Hisuian Decidueye plays differently: Scrappy plus Close Combat means nothing is safe, not even Ghost-types, and priority in Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak lets it punch through faster threats after a Swords Dance. Pick the Ghost form for utility, the Fighting form for raw offence — just respect its 4× Flying weakness.
Evolution Line
Rowlet → Dartrix (Level 17) → Decidueye (Level 34). Hisuian Decidueye is a regional form of the same line. Decidueye does not Mega Evolve.
