ICYMI: Pokémon Champions Is Getting A Free Update For Switch 2
Key Points:
- The upcoming update for Pokémon Champions on Switch 1 is praised for its benefits, though the game’s visuals on Switch 2 may be limited due to compatibility with older hardware, similar to previous titles like Legends Z-A.
- The update includes a Battle Pass with exclusive outfits, Mega Stones obtainable without spending VP, a Starter Pack, and a Pokémon Champions Membership offering expanded storage, more battle teams, and exclusive missions and battle songs.
- Players can transfer Pokémon from the Home app into Champions, with options to adjust stats, nature, IVs, and EVs; however, changes made outside Champions do not carry over unless the Pokémon is transferred back into the game.
