Pokémon Champions Heads to Switch in April 2026, With HOME Tie-Ins and Free Dragonite Bonus

Pokémon Champions is dated for a Switch release in April 2026 (mobile version later). Early downloads grant a Dragonite and its Mega Stone. Players can import Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, and Eternal Flower Floette from Pokémon Legends: Z-A via Pokémon HOME, with HOME allowing visiting Pokémon to enter Champions and return to HOME (moves must be retrained; training carries over unless the form changes). Only Pokémon that appear in Champions can visit from HOME, and Pokémon earned in Champions cannot be sent back to HOME. More release details are expected in the coming months.

The Endless Variations of a Game-Breaking Pokémon.

Spinda, a normal-type Pokémon from Generation III, has become a nuisance for The Pokémon Company due to its multiple forms, which can have up to four billion possible variations. Spinda's appearance is determined by its individual personality value, making it a centerpiece in its own Pokémon community. However, Spinda has been an issue for Game Freak and The Pokémon Company in terms of transferring the character and all its variants to future games due to compatibility issues with Pokémon Home and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes. As a result, Spinda is the only Pokémon obtainable in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that can't be transferred to and from these games.
