Pokemon Champions is a new, battle-focused game that implements the battle mechanics of the core Pokemon games and allows you to challenge trainers from around the world. Stay tuned to Game8 for news, updates, and more information about Pokémon Champions, which launches soon on the Nintendo Switch family of systems, and mobile devices.
There is no confirmed official release date for Pokemon Champions. The Pokemon Presents livestream aired last February 27, 2025 showed that the game is now in development but no word on a release date.
Pokemon Champions will be available on the Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices. The game also allows you to engage in cross-platform battles between the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. This means that if you have a Switch, you can compete alongside other Switch and mobile players and vice-versa.
Pokemon Champions Coming to Switch, iOS, and Android
Pokemon Champions was confirmed to support transfers through Pokemon HOME! Trainers can connect to Pokemon HOME to battle with their Pokemon from Pokemon GO, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and other previous titles in the series.

Only select Pokémon will be available for use in Pokémon Champions at launch.
This likely means that Pokemon Champions will start with a limited roster and Pokedex which can be expected to expand over time.
Mega Evolutions, a feature not seen since Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, make its reapperance in Pokemon Champions. As seen in the trailer, the trainer's Charizard mega evolves into Mega Charizard X.
Other familar battle mechanics such as double battles and Tera Pokemon were also featured in the trailer.
