The Pokémon Company has announced the date for the highly anticipated mobile release of Pokémon Champions.
This Pokémon game focused on the competitive side of Pokémon battles was launched last April on Nintendo Switch, promising to be the new focal point of competitive play, as it will be where the official Pokémon tournaments will be held from now on, starting this year.
Pokemon Champions arrives with news for everyone
The Pokémon Company has already confirmed some important things regarding this version. To start, we will be able to share our progress between our console and our mobile by linking a Nintendo account to both.
Additionally, players who log into the game after the mobile game launch and before September 2 will receive a special reward: a Raichu and the mega stones to mega evolve it: a Raichunita X and a Raichunita Y, to mega evolve into Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y respectively.
Although the game has caused some division within the community due to the relative scarcity of items and Pokémon, its reception has been positive. Less positive has been the glaring absence of new features over the months, likely due to the delay in the release of the mobile version. This is why players hope that, with the launch of this version for mobile devices, the game will start to evolve more quickly.
Pokémon Champions will be released for iOS and Android mobile devices on June 17. It is already available on Nintendo Switch. And if you like Pokémon, especially combat, and if you have any interest in competitive play, you shouldn’t miss this unique game.
