Recruit Your First Pokémon and Claim Early Rewards in Pokémon Champions
Upon starting Pokémon Champions and creating your player avatar, the tutorial offers you a choice of one Pokémon from ten options to recruit. Additionally, five other Pokémon are randomly loaned to you to complete your six-member team before your first online battle. Below are the available choices, along with their learned moves (as presented in Latin American Spanish), to help you make an informed decision. Remember to also check the full list of Pokémon available at the game's launch.

Gifts for Playing Pokémon Champions
From April 8th to August 31st, players can obtain a Dragonite and 100 recruitment tickets. To claim these rewards, simply download and launch the game; they will be delivered via the in-game mailbox. Dragonite is self-explanatory. Recruitment tickets, as their name suggests, expedite the process of recruiting Pokémon. Instead of catching wild Pokémon, players recruit creatures from a randomized list found at the ranch. These tickets are typically earned by completing in-game missions.
Dedicated Pokémon Champions players will also be able to acquire a Dragoniteite Mega Stone from the Season 1 Battle Pass. This special stone is essential for Mega Evolving Dragonite.
Pokémon Champions is available for free on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, with special packages available for purchase.
