Cross-platform battling title Pokémon Champions announced

A new game that lets players battle Pokémon from almost anywhere they are has been announced! Developed by The Pokémon Works, a joint venture between The Pokémon Company and ILCA, Pokémon Champions will bring battling to both the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.

What is Pokémon Champions?

Pokémon Champions is a new battle-focused title that will allow players to challenge each other across console and mobile. It features integration with Pokémon HOME so that players can create teams with Pokémon they’ve already caught.

It also features support for Generation-specific battle mechanics, such as Mega Evolution from Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, as well as Terastrallization from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

The main characters for the game can be seen below.

The game will support Casual Battles, Ranked Battles and Private Battles.

It is currently unknown when Champions will be released.
