Pokémon Champions mobile release confirmed for June 17, cross-save with Nintendo Switch
Pokémon Champions, the battle-focused title from The Pokémon Company, will launch on iOS and Android on June 17.
The game first released on Nintendo Switch in April; The Pokémon Company has opened pre-registrations for the mobile rollout ahead of the launch and confirmed cross-save support so Switch players can carry progress between platforms.
Mobile launch details and cross-save
The Pokémon Company announced that Pokémon Champions will be available for download on the App Store and Google Play on June 17, with pre-registration going live in the run-up to release.
Cross-save functionality is enabled, allowing players who developed rosters on Nintendo Switch to synchronize their accounts on mobile without losing progress or in-game Pokémon.
Limited-time Raichu login event
To coincide with the mobile launch, the publisher will run a login reward event from the mobile launch day through September 2.
Players who sign into Pokémon Champions during that period will receive a Raichu and two Megastones—Raichunite X and Raichunite Y—delivered to their in-game mailbox after their first login during the event window.
Mega Raichu X is listed with the Electric Surge ability, while Mega Raichu Y has the No Guard ability.
Critical reception and developer response
Early reactions to the Switch release noted issues that impacted the initial player experience.
One review summarized the launch problems by pointing to confusing monetization, substandard performance, and a range of in-game bugs.
The Pokémon Company’s mobile release follows that April debut and includes cross-save and timed rewards intended to broaden the game's audience across platforms.
Availability and platforms
Pokémon Champions will be available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.
Players on Switch who want to move their progress to mobile should enable cross-save and complete any platform migration steps announced by The Pokémon Company.
Pre-registration links and the precise launch storefront pages (App Store and Google Play) will be active ahead of the June 17 release.
