Pokemon Champions Mystery Gift codes

The Mystery Gift feature is back again in Pokemon Champions, and we’ve set up a post that rounds up all of the codes. We’ll keep our lists updated over time as new ones are made available. 

Pokemon Champions players can receive all sorts of things through the code distributions. There’ll be Pokemon, items, and more.

We’ll give Pokemon Champions players a quick heads up that a new Mystery Code is live in the game, and it’s a somewhat notable one as this is the first distribution that includes a title.

The distribution is celebrating the Pokemon Trainers Cup taking place at the Pokemon Sports Day in South Korea. If you redeem a code, you’ll get Gyarados. It comes with the moves Waterfall, Earthquake, Ice Fang, and Dragon Dance plus the Intimidate Ability. It’s at level 50.

Follow these steps to claim Gyarados for yourself:

Pokemon Champions producer Masaaki Hoshino has shared a few comments about the game, including how the team is going about picking Pokemon.

As previously mentioned, only select creatures were made available with the recent launch. Right now there’s around 200 – we have a complete list here.

Pokemon Champions missing feature

At the time of writing, Pokemon Champions is missing a whole bunch of features – it’s missing many Pokemon, a lot of items that are popular in competitive play, as well as extensive customization options for your trainer. Of course, none of that is really worth complaining about right now, because it’s clear that all of these features will be added to the game over time. On that note, all we have to do is wait! But with that being said, there’s one key feature missing from Pokemon Champions that isn’t actually guaranteed to make it in: the ability to battle other players in Singles with a full team of 6 Pokemon per trainer.

Pokemon Champions producer Masaaki Hoshino has spoken about the game’s graphics as part of an interview.

In recent years, there have been various discussions around the visuals of the series’ different titles. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet really jumpstarted things due to things like poor textures and technical issues, but we also saw the discussion continue with Pokemon Legends: Z-A – buildings in particular were a talking point with that one.

Pokemon Champions 1.0.3 update

Those playing Pokemon Champions can now download a new update with version 1.0.3 having been released.

The patch includes a number of different fixes. You may recall that these issues were previously identified and The Pokemon Company promised an update – now you can actually download it.

The full rundown is as follows:

Pokemon Champions Season M-1 Best

Today, we’re going over some of the best Pokemon in Pokemon Champions Season M-1, and what each one does. We’ll also be covering both singles and doubles.

The first season of Pokemon Champions is still ongoing until May 12, and surprisingly, a lot of players really like the current format – it doesn’t allow for any Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, and many power-boosting items are strangely absent from the game. Inconvenient as the latter may be, it means the power level of the metagame is probably the lowest it’ll ever be. That means it’s a great time to get involved and build your own team.
