On February 27, Pokémon's official YouTube channel streamed the latest Pokemon Presents, unveiling new information about the popular Pokémon franchise. Among the highlights was the announcement of Pokemon Champions, a new battle-focused game set to release on both Nintendo Switch and smartphones.

A Battle-Centric Pokémon Experience

Like previous titles in the Pokémon series, Pokemon Champions lets players engage in strategic Pokémon battles. Players must leverage type advantages, abilities, and move selections to secure victory. The game will support cross-platform battles, allowing users to compete seamlessly between Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.

Multiple Battle Modes for Every Player

Pokemon Champions introduces various battle modes to cater to different playstyles. Players can test their skills against trainers worldwide in Ranked Battles, enjoy more relaxed competition in Casual Battles, or challenge friends and family in Private Battles.

Pokémon HOME Integration Confirmed

In addition, Pokemon Champions will integrate with Pokémon HOME, allowing players to bring some of their previously caught Pokémon into battles. This feature ensures that trainers can continue using their favorite Pokémon in exciting new matchups against competitors worldwide.
