Two new abilities will also make their debut in the Pokémon Champions 1.1.0 update. Specifically, both Mega Eelektross and Mega Pyroar will get new abilities, which we’ll list below with a full description:

Mega Eelektross Ability

  • Elevate: The Pokémon floats off the ground, making it immune to Ground-type moves, as well as the Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web statuses. When the Pokémon knocks out a target with an attack, its highest stat is boosted by 1 stage.

Mega Pyroar Ability

  • Fire Mane: Boosts the power of the Pokémon’s Fire-type moves by 50%.

The Pokémon Champions 1.1.0 update is now live on the Nintendo Switch 2. The competitive multiplayer is also now available on iOS and Android devices. Players who update to the latest version will get access to the 39 new Pokémon.

Finally, it appears that Pokémon Champions will not get anymore new Pokémon until at least September 2026. Yes, you read that right. According to dataminers, the current Pokémon Champions regulation will last for 3 seasons. So players might be waiting a long time before getting Legendary Pokémon in the competitive multiplayer.
