The Pokémon Company has announced that its free-to-download title Pokémon Champions has surpassed 10 million cumulative downloads worldwide, combining figures from both the Switch and mobile versions. The battle-focused game launched on Switch in April before arriving on smartphones the following month, and the milestone marks a solid start for the competitive-play title. To mark the achievement, players are being given 100 Quick Coupons (also referred to as Fast Coupons), which can be collected from the in-game mailbox.

Although the game has not met every player's expectations, Nintendo Life's review praised it as the most accessible competitive Pokémon experience to date. The Pokémon Company has sought to keep players returning through regular codes that allow new Pokémon to be added to a player's party. Reader comments were mixed, with some noting the download bonus had already been available for a couple of weeks, and others debating the value of the in-game currencies and paid Membership, while several praised the pure competitive battling and reported putting in 100 or more hours.
