What is Pokemon Champions?
Pokemon Champions is a free-to-start Pokemon battle game developed by Game Freak and The Pokemon Company, available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. It focuses purely on Pokemon battles - the core of the Pokemon experience.
Unlike the mainline RPG games, Champions lets you jump straight into competitive battles. You can import your Pokemon from Pokemon HOME, or catch new ones in-game. With streamlined mechanics and cross-platform play, it's the most accessible competitive Pokemon experience yet.
The mobile version launched on June 17, 2026 and is now live on iOS and Android. This site is your complete guide to mastering the game.
