Expanding the roster and items
Pokémon Champions arrives on mobile devices today, and alongside this, the Switch version of the game has been updated.
This bumps the battle title up to Version 1.1.0 and adds Pokémon and held items for Regulation Set M-B. It also includes some other fixes on Switch platforms tied to visual and network issues. Here are the official patch notes via Nintendo’s support page:
The following updates have been made to the game.
For now, you can check out the new usable Pokémon and items on Serebii.net. It was previously mentioned how the plan was to expand the Pokémon roster in Pokémon Champions over time.
As part of the launch on iOS and Android devices today, there’s a special gift in the form of a Raichu and the Raichunite X and Y Mega Stones. You can find all of this in the game’s mailbox when you log in during the event period.
The mobile version includes cross-save support as well. So if you’ve been playing on the Switch or Switch 2, you can continue battling on your mobile device. And if you haven’t already tried out this title, check out our Switch review of the game:

Wondering if more battle music will be added like gym battles.

So we can finally have 6 on 6 battles? 🤩

Anyone know how I can play it in portrait?

@Joeynator3000 Sadly no, no new music from what I can see…
As expected we got all the remaining Mega Pokémon, except the new Z-Megas, and a few returning normal mons. Very surprised to see Grimmsnarl, Annihilape and Gholdengo return so soon O.O

Hope those who'll play this on mobile will enjoy it (personally, I'll stick to Switch 2) – glad to hear about those additions, too!

I really didn't need to get addicted to a mobile game again… Oh well, time to make a Scafty team 😁

I'll mostly stick to the Switch version, but download the mobile version for ease of use outside the house. Toxapex shall be wreaking havoc in a doctor's waiting room tomorrow 🤣
