Pokémon Champions Surprises Fans with Free Mobile Launch, Mega Raichu Event
Hold on to your Poké Balls, Trainers! Pokémon Champions just dropped on mobile, bringing the full console battle experience to iOS and Android devices, completely free. This isn't some stripped-down version; it plays just like the acclaimed Nintendo Switch editions.
Even better, a limited-time event kicks off today! All players — mobile and console — can snag Raichu, plus Raichunite X and Y stones, straight from their in-game mailbox. Prepare for Mega Raichu action until September 2.
The game itself is a competitive delight. Build your dream team, strategize with classic Pokémon types and abilities, and dive into online battles against other Trainers. While free-to-play, optional purchases like the Starter Pack and a Premium Battle Pass are available for those looking to enhance their journey.

Catzye Take
This is a massive win for mobile gamers who've wanted the full Champions experience on the go. The cross-platform Raichu event is a smart move to get everyone playing. It'll be interesting to see how the meta shifts with more players diving in.
