Teams and comps in patch 1.2.0
Patch 1.2.0 / Balance 24. Facts below are tied to a source checked on 2026-10-01. Anything still open is marked unconfirmed.
A beginner core from the presence list
If you are comparing what the ranked sample contains, the leading names on 2026-10-01 were Steamscuttle (25.0%), Shikitsune (16.1%), Dracana (16.0%), Petrirex (14.1%), Swoonet (14.1%), and Saberhorn (14.0%). Steamscuttle, Shikitsune, and Petrirex were also on the 1.2.0 nerf list, so “most seen” is not “buffed this patch.”
These are not guaranteed starter offers. Rank 1’s ordinary base rolls are all Common; the linked shop-odds table explains when higher rarities enter the pool. Presence across an entire run is not day-1 availability.
A six-slot example
The current representative Tengusto + Aviarab composition lists Aviarab, Gemwing, Tengusto, Onsetra, Dracana and Swoonet, with Swoonet at average level 4. Standard copies stop at level 3, so a special upgrade effect is required. The source does not verify exact positions; triggers such as Torrantler still only hit their documented adjacent targets.
Comps versus builds
Use builds when the question is a trainer rule or a single evolution. Stay here when the question is who shares the board. The meta report explains the patch intent behind the nerfs.
Six-unit representative compositions
Community data checked 2026-10-01T09:23:20.699Z, Balance 24. These are aggregated representative boards, not verified positions. A ten-win finish rate is a sample association, not a promise or an official ranking. Trainer choices were not supplied for these rows.

Questions on this page
Why do I keep facing the same teams?
Matchmaking uses saved human boards. A Steam news post said a small patch reduced how often you meet Dirgefin, Celestia, and Reapra boards. It did not claim those boards were removed.
