Pokémon Champions Mobile Version Coming to iOS and Android on June 17
Pokémon Champions is preparing to bring the exciting battle experience of the Pokémon universe to mobile platforms. The Pokémon Company International announced in an official statement on June 3, 2026 that the mobile version of the game will be released on June 17 for devices running iOS and Android operating systems. This announcement clarified the long-awaited release date of the mobile version of the game, which was introduced at the Pokémon Presents event last February.
The game, Pokémon Champions, offers classic Pokémon battle mechanics in a modern multiplayer framework. Players will be able to compete against each other in real-time or turn-based battles using their own Pokémon collections. Company officials stated that the game is designed to appeal to both long-time fans of the series and new players. The mobile version is expected to support the same content and account synchronization as previously announced other platforms (Nintendo Switch, etc.). The Pokémon Company also stated that they plan special events and bonus Pokémon distributions for the game's launch.
This news stands out as part of The Pokémon Company's strategy to expand its mobile game portfolio. The company had previously reached a large audience with successful mobile titles such as Pokémon GO (in collaboration with Niantic), Pokémon Masters EX, and Pokémon Unite. However, Pokémon Champions differs from these games by focusing specifically on competitive battle mechanics. Aiming to bring the deep strategy from the main series games to mobile devices, the title also draws attention with its e-sports potential. With the game's release, it is expected that mobile battle categories will be added to events such as the Pokémon World Championships.
For Pokémon fans, this launch marks the beginning of a new era in the mobile experience of the series. They will now be able to engage in fast and competitive Pokémon battles wherever they want. The game, which will be available for free download on the App Store and Google Play Store on June 17, is planned to reach an even wider community through open beta tests and tournaments to be held in the following weeks. More details about the game's exact features, system requirements, and launch events are expected to be shared in the coming days.
