The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon Champions, a new battle-focused game for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. A first-look video is now available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.
The game features battles similar to previous Pokémon titles, incorporating familiar mechanics such as Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves. It will also support cross-platform play, allowing players to compete between Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
Players can participate in Ranked Battles for global competition, Casual Battles for a relaxed experience, or Private Battles with friends and family. The game introduces trainers as avatars, each aspiring to compete on the big stage.
Pokémon Champions will be compatible with Pokémon HOME, enabling players to team up with select Pokémon from their collection. Further details on its release date and gameplay are expected in the coming months.
