About the Game
Pokémon Champions is a battle-focused game where players compete to become the Pokémon Champion in Frontier City. You can battle with different Pokémon, including Mega-Evolved Pokémon like Mega Dragonite, using the same battle system used in official Pokémon Video Game Championship events. The game includes familiar mechanics like Pokémon types, abilities, and moves, allowing players to use smart strategies in single and double battles.
Online Battles
Players can compete online in Ranked Battles against players from around the world or enjoy Casual Battles for fun. You can also create Private Battles to play with friends and family.
Recruit and Train Pokémon
Before starting battles, you can recruit Pokémon to join your team. Once per day, you can try Pokémon on a trial basis and test them in battle. If you like them, you can use Victory Points (VP) to permanently add them to your team. You can also use VP to train Pokémon, improve their stats, and change their abilities and moves.
Pokémon HOME Support
The game supports Pokémon HOME, which allows players to bring Pokémon from other Pokémon games like Pokémon GO and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Special Pokémon such as Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, and Eternal Flower Floette can unlock Mega Stones in the game when transferred through Pokémon HOME.
