Pokémon Champions

Pokémon Champions is a battle-focused game that strips away exploration and story to concentrate on competitive matches. You'll use familiar type matchups, Abilities, and moves to build teams and face opponents. The game connects to Pokémon HOME, letting you import creatures you've trained in other entries. Cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and mobile means you can battle regardless of device. Multiple modes cater to different playstyles, though the source doesn't specify what those are. If you've ever wanted mainline battling without the route-walking between gyms, this delivers that. Best suited for players who skip cutscenes to reach the next fight.
