Pokémon Champions: Switch & Mobile Battle Sim Coming Soon

Pokémon Day brought exciting news for competitive Pokémon fans: Pokémon Champions, a new PvP battler, is coming soon! Revealed during a special Pokémon Presents stream, this title from The Pokémon Company and Game Freak delivers high-stakes battles reminiscent of Pokémon Stadium.

Pokémon Champions focuses on the core excitement of Pokémon battles in a streamlined multiplayer experience. Seasoned trainers and newcomers alike will find familiar mechanics—Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves—creating strategic depth. The game aims to provide a dedicated competitive battling environment unlike any seen in the main series.

A key feature is integration with Pokémon Home, the cloud-based service connecting various Pokémon games. While not all Pokémon from Home will be immediately available, players will still have a wide selection to build their competitive teams.

Cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and mobile devices is planned, offering flexibility for quick matches or deeper strategic encounters. Multiple game modes are anticipated.

Although a release date is yet to be announced, Pokémon Champions is already generating significant buzz.
