About:
In Pokémon Champions, Trainers can recruit Pokémon to join their teams and battle other Trainers. Trial Recruitment allows Pokémon to join the player’s team for a limited time—letting them try out a Pokémon in battle straight away and test strategies. Permanent Recruitment uses Victory Points (VP)—which are gained from various methods such as Ranked Battles—to add Pokémon to the player’s team permanently. Players can also use VP to train Pokémon according to their own preferences, including altering their stats and Abilities.
There are three different battle modes available in Pokémon Champions, which can be played in both Single Battle and Double Battle formats.
- Ranked Battles: Players can test their skills against other Trainers from all over the world. Trainers are divided into tiers based on their skill level.
- Casual Battles: Trainers can test how their teams perform against Pokémon Trainers from around the world in a relaxed environment.
- Private Battles: Players can battle against friends or family in the same in-game room.
Pokémon Champions is slated for release in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices. Please visit the official Pokémon Champions website for more information.
