Get Ready for Mega Raichu: Pokémon Champions Mobile Release and Exclusive Mega Stones Event!
Pokémon Champions has been a hit among trainers worldwide on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 since its launch in April. Now, the game is set to make its way to mobile devices, with a release date on the App Store and Google Play scheduled for June 17, 2026. Players who have been enjoying the game on Nintendo Switch can rest assured that their save data will carry over to the mobile version if they link the same Nintendo Account.
To mark the upcoming release of Pokémon Champions on mobile, trainers can look forward to claiming Raichu and two exclusive Mega Stones that have never been seen in the game before. Starting from June 17, 2026, until September 1, 2026, at 6:49 p.m. PDT, players on both Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms can claim Raichu, Raichunite X, and Raichunite Y from their in-game mailbox in Pokémon Champions.
Raichu, a Pokémon known for its victories in the Pokémon World Championships, will now have the opportunity to reach new heights with Mega Evolution in Pokémon Champions. Mega Raichu X will feature the Electric Surge Ability, while Mega Raichu Y will have the No Guard Ability. Players can strategize and choose between the Electric Terrain of Mega Raichu X or the precise Thunder Wave and Thunder of Mega Raichu Y to secure victory in battles.
