Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements during a special Pokémon Presents stream. Highlights included updates on Pokémon Legends: Arceus, teasers for Pokémon Concierge, and—most excitingly—the reveal of Pokémon Champions, a new competitive battle simulator.
Developed by The Pokémon Company Works in collaboration with Game Freak, Pokémon Champions focuses solely on competitive battling. Forget catching Pokémon, traversing tall grass, or collecting Gym Badges; this game is all about high-stakes battles.
What We Know About Pokémon Champions
Pokémon Champions offers a multiplayer experience with cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While details on specific game modes remain scarce, multiple options are promised.
A key feature is integration with Pokémon Home, allowing players to import beloved Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be immediately available, with only a selection accessible at launch.
Pokémon Champions appears poised to provide a dedicated space for competitive Pokémon battling, free from the usual distractions of the main series games. The trailer below offers a glimpse into the action.
