Increase your Box Size by raising your rank during battles in Pokemon Champions. Learn the different ways to increase your box size, whether these upgrades are permanent, and what to do when your box reaches its limit.

How to Increase Box Size

Ways to Increase Box Size


Increase Rank During Battles

Ranked Battles with Different Tiers

You can increase your box capacity by ranking up in battles. Reaching certain tiers, such as Great Ball and Ultra Ball, rewards you with additional box slots, typically increasing your capacity by 5 each time.

This is the main way for free-to-play players to expand their storage.

Purchase the Membership

Annual Membership

Purchasing a membership, whether monthly or annually, immediately grants a large increase in box capacity along with other perks.

This includes an additional +1000 box slots, making it the fastest way to expand your storage.

Should You Buy the Annual Membership?

Purchase the Starter Pack

Starter Pack Contents

The Starter Pack is a one-time purchase that provides several early-game benefits, including an increase of +50 box slots.

This is a good option if you want a permanent boost without committing to a subscription.

Box Increase From Starter Pack Is Permanent

Starter Pack

Since the Starter Pack is a one-time purchase, the additional box slots it provides are permanent and will remain available on your account.

Box Increase For Membership Lasts Only Until Membership Ends

The extra box capacity gained from membership is temporary. Once your membership expires, your box size will return to its original limit, which may leave you over capacity.

Pokemon That Exceeds the Original Limit May Become Inaccessible

If your box size is reduced after your membership expires, any Pokemon stored beyond your new limit will likely remain in your box but become inaccessible until you free up space or renew your membership.

Box Increase From Ranking Up May Be Permanent

Ranked Battles Sample Image

Box size increases earned through ranking up appear to be permanent. However, as the game is still in its early stages, this has not been fully confirmed yet.

Based on similar systems in previous titles, these upgrades are likely to remain even after seasons reset.

What To Do When Box Is Full

What to Do When Box Reaches its Limit


Return Pokemon to the Ranch

Return

When your box is full, you can free up space by returning Pokemon to the Roster Ranch.

Keep in mind that this action is permanent, and any Pokemon sent back to the ranch cannot be recovered.

Send Pokemon Back to Home

Returning a Pokemon to HOME

If your box contains Pokemon transferred from Pokemon HOME, you can send them back instead of deleting them.

This allows you to keep them stored safely and retrieve them again later if needed.

Increase Box Size

Another option is to increase your box capacity through ranking up or purchasing upgrades.

This is a more sustainable solution if you frequently run out of space, especially as your collection grows.
