Pokémon Champions, the latest addition to The Pokémon Company's globally recognized franchise, is officially available for download on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
This free-to-play title represents the newest evolution in Pokémon battles, offering unique tools and community-driven competitions for seasoned Trainers and newcomers alike.
Released worldwide on June 18, 2024, Pokémon Champions builds on the legacy of previous Nintendo Switch titles, enriching the franchise’s extensive library on Nintendo’s hybrid hardware.

For players seeking additional in-game bonuses, a starter pack can be purchased for $6.99 USD (or the equivalent in other regions).
This bundle includes expanded storage for 50 extra Pokémon, 30 Teammate Tickets, and 50 Training Tickets.
Notably, the starter pack grants access to the popular ‘Battle!
