Pokémon Champions: The Pokémon Company Announces Upcoming Bug Fixes and Maintenance on Nintendo Switch
Since its launch, Pokémon Champions has built a solid reputation for its competitive gameplay and deep integration with Pokémon HOME on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Developed and published by The Pokémon Company, the game continues to evolve through regular updates and feature enhancements driven by players’ feedback.
Recently, the company confirmed that a suite of issues affecting the game and its connectivity with Pokémon HOME are actively being addressed, reaffirming its ongoing commitment to quality and player satisfaction.
In an official news post, The Pokémon Company detailed a structured plan for tackling several bugs reported by the community.
One significant concern was the difficulty some users encountered when attempting to withdraw their Pokémon between Pokémon Champions and Pokémon HOME.
The company has reported that this issue has now been resolved and that affected players should have full access to their digital companions once again.
Additional issues currently under development for future data updates or maintenance include:
- The in-game description for the move "Leech Seed" was displaying an incorrect damage calculation as 1/16 of maximum HP when it should correctly state 1/8, though actual in-battle calculations were always correct.
- Certain battle scenarios involving simultaneous Mega Evolutions would cause the intended action order to become unpredictable.
- Some Pokémon displayed incorrect gender markers both in the in-game tutorial and in released coordinated team compositions.
- The ability "Lightning Rod" was intermittently failing to activate correctly during the "Encore" state.
- An interface bug prevented move selection after viewing Mega Evolution details during a battle unless players opened and closed the surrender window with the "-" button as a workaround.
The Pokémon Company has stated these bugs are actively being addressed and will be remedied in future updates.
In a clear message to fans, the company extended an apology, expressing regret for any difficulties experienced and vowing to continue investigating for other unreported issues.
“Players experiencing trouble transferring Pokémon between Champions and HOME should now regain access to their Pokémon.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your continued support,” the company summarized in its official statement.
To facilitate further bug fixes and general improvements, Pokémon Champions is scheduled for a maintenance window from April 9th at 23:00 UTC to April 10th at 01:00 UTC.
While the company did not specify which, if any, of the listed bugs will be addressed during this specific period, more updates are expected following maintenance completion.
Players are encouraged to follow official channels for additional announcements and patch notes.
Pokémon Champions remains a flagship title on the Nintendo Switch, underscoring The Pokémon Company's dedication to maintaining high gameplay standards across its celebrated franchise.
As always, maintenance schedules and regular updates are a testament to the company’s responsiveness to player feedback and technical excellence.
