Pokémon Champions has just rolled out its latest patch, introducing Mega Raichu X&Y and roughly twenty new Pokémon, while also expanding its reach to mobile devices.
The competitive arena of Pokémon Champions, where fans can import their favorite Pokémon from the core series to battle online, has officially kicked off its newest season.
Season M3, running from June 17 to July 8, centers on the Hoenn region and brings most of the previously missing Mega Pokémon into the roster.
Within the season’s battle pass, players can acquire Starmie and Starminite, fresh style items, and a trainer outfit inspired by Canari from Pokémon Legends: Z‑A.
Earlier this year, Pokémon Champions launched on both the Nintendo Switch and the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, expanding the franchise’s competitive lineup.
With the conclusion of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet era, the title has been adopted as the default championship game for the Pokémon Video Game Championships, solidifying its role in the competitive scene.
Looking ahead, Pokémon Champions will make its grand entrance at the Pokémon World Championships and PokémonXP, scheduled for August 28‑30 in San Francisco, California. Attendees can also snag exclusive promo cards and a range of merchandise available at the event’s annual Pokémon Center pop‑up.
