The Pokémon Company International (TPCI) is bringing the battle right to your mobile device. Pokémon Champions first made its debut in April on the Nintendo Switch. Now, the multiplayer, turn-based strategy game is rolling out to Android and iOS.

Today, TPCI announced that Pokémon Champions is now officially available on mobile. As part of the launch, TCPI is running a special in-game campaign that will allow you to snag a free Raichu along with Raichunite X and Raichunite Y mega stones. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of mega stones, these items allow you to mega-evolve Raichu into Mega Raichu X or Mega Raichu Y.

This promotion starts today and will run until September 1, 2026, at 6:49 PM PDT. You’ll find Raichu and its mega stones sitting in your in-game mailbox, available on both mobile and Switch. It’s worth noting that the company has said that you’ll be able to get Raichu through other means. Meanwhile, the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y mega stones could become available via the in-game shop at a later date.

It’s also important to mention that the game supports cross-platform play. So you’ll be able to battle other trainers whether they’re playing on a mobile device, the Nintendo Switch, or Switch 2. At the same time, if you have the free-to-play game on multiple devices, you’ll be able to access your save data on any of the available platforms by signing into your Nintendo account.
