Summary
Version 1.1.0 is now live, bringing 39 new playable Pokémon to Pokémon Champions across Switch 2, iOS and Android competitive multiplayer.
The additions mix returning species with new Mega Evolutions, including Mega Raichu X and Y, Mega Blaziken, Mega Scolipede, Gen 9’s Gholdengo and Annihilape.
Two new abilities debut with the patch: Mega Eelektross gets Elevate—granting Ground immunity and a stat boost after a knockout—while Mega Pyroar gets Fire Mane, boosting Fire-type moves by 50%.
No Legendary Pokémon were added, despite player expectations for names such as Lugia or Xerneas, and dataminers say the current regulation will run for 3 seasons.
That timeline suggests the roster may not expand again until at least September 2026, delaying any potential Legendary debut in the online format.
