Pok\u00e9mon Champions<\/a> has been out on Switch for a couple of months now, and in the coming weeks, it’ll launch on mobile too.<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company has announced<\/a> that the battle-focused game will arrive on iOS and Android on 17th June, with pre-registrations going live today. Cross-save support is available in this one, for those who have been putting in the hours on Switch, so don’t worry about losing your precious ‘mon.<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, all those who log into the game from its mobile launch day until 2nd September will be rewarded with a Raichu and its two Megastones. You’ll find the Electric Type and its accompanying Raichunite X and Y stones in your in-game mailbox, after your first log-in during the event period.<\/p>\n

For those wondering about these Mega ‘mon’s abilities, Mega Raichu X comes with Electric Surge, while Mega Raichu Y carries the No Guard ability.<\/p>\n

It’ll be good to see the game reach a larger audience after TPC has had some time to work on it. Champions launched in a less-than-perfect state on Switch back in April, with us calling out its “convoluted monetisation, disappointing performance, and inexplicable bugs” in our 5\/10 review<\/a>.<\/p>\n
