Pokemon Champions Pokemon list

A list is now available covering all of the confirmed Pokemon in Pokemon Champions. This is based on various previews, footage, and more.

When the game launches in just a couple of weeks, it’ll feature a selection of creatures to battle with. While there are over 1,000 Pokemon, it’ll be a long time until Champions hits that number. Currently the roster stands at a little over 100 – at least for now. The good news is that we’ve already heard the team will be updating the game, and could even see it being around “forever”.

With that out of the way, here’s the current list:

As previously announced, Pokemon Home has received a version 4.0.0 update. Users should be seeing the update roll out now on mobile and Nintendo Switch devices. Keep in mind that the app’s servers are currently undergoing maintenance, making the software unusable until 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET / 1 PM in the UK / 2 PM in Europe.

The new update brings with it support for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and the upcoming Pokemon Champions game. Latin American Spanish has also been added as a language option, and that is pretty much it.
