What is Pokémon Champions?

A standalone battle game with no story campaign: you build teams and fight other players. Think Pokémon Stadium, rebuilt for ranked online play.
Replaces the mainline games at official Play! Pokémon events, including the World Championships.
Bring Pokémon in from Pokémon HOME — only species already in Champions can be transferred.
Battle in Ranked, Casual, or Private (friends) modes and climb with Victory Points across rotating seasons.

How the ruleset differs

A curated pool of Pokémon, moves, and held items is legal — no Legendaries, Mythicals, Ultra Beasts, or Paradox Pokémon (Pikachu is a rare unevolved exception).
Mega Evolution returns as a core mechanic via the Omni Ring — one Mega per battle, and it stays Mega for the rest of the match even after switching out.
Move PP is standardized to fixed values (8 / 12 / 16 / 20).
Some Pokémon have adjusted learnsets, and Mega Evolution includes forms introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
