Return your Pokemon to the Ranch in Pokemon Champions if you want them to leave your Box. Learn how to release Pokemon to remove them from your Box and whether you can get back returned Pokemon in this guide!

How to Release Pokemon from Your Box

Return to the Ranch

If your Box is almost full, you may be looking for a way to free up some space. Pokemon recruited from the Ranch or obtained as a gift from the Mailbox can be removed from your Box by giving them to the Ranch.

To release your Pokemon, go to the Recruit menu, and select Return Pokemon. You can then choose which Pokemon to discard from your Box. Up to 30 Pokemon can be returned in one go.

You can return Pokemon even if they are currently in a battle team. There is no need for you to remove them beforehand. Once they're released, they will automatically be removed from any battle teams they were added to.

Select the Pokemon that you want to return from here. You don't have to send all your visiting Pokemon all at once, but you can send a maximum of 30 Pokemon back at a time.
