The Pokémon Company has launched Pokémon Champions, the battle-focused game for both Android and iOS devices.
Pokémon Champions features a turn-based battle system and is designed around strategic Pokémon battles. It includes familiar mechanics such as Pokémon types, abilities, and moves, and is built entirely around battling. The game features multiple modes, including Ranked Battles, Casual Battles, and Private Battles, allowing both new and veteran players to enjoy and learn the game. Moreover, Pokémon Champions supports cross-play, letting mobile players battle against players on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
As part of the mobile launch celebrations , players can log in and claim a selection of special in-game gifts. These gifts include Pokémon such as Raichu, Raichunite X, and Raichunite Y, along with Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y. The gifts can be claimed through the in-game mailbox between June 17, 2026, and September 2, 2026.
