After launching on Switch and Switch 2 earlier this year, Pokemon Champions has gone mobile this week with its official release on iOS and Android devices. It’s a free-to-play title on mobile, and there’s a valuable in-game freebie available for players on all platforms who join in now.

Starting from today, June 17, until Wednesday, September 2, Pokemon Champions players on both mobile and consoles will get Raichu and the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y stones by checking their in-game mailbox. With the Mega Stones, players have the option to evolve Raichu into more powerful forms, including Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

The Pokemon Company International didn’t specify whether the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y stones would be for sale after September 2. While the game itself is free, it does have in-game purchases in addition to free downloads. Players on Switch can also pick up their games on mobile through cross-play and vice versa.

For players who are new to Pokemon Champions, GameSpot has put together a beginner’s guide to the game. GameSpot’s Pokemon Champions Review on Switch 2 gave it a 7/10, and called it “one of the most thrilling competitive games” for players who are willing to put in the time and learn how to play.

In other Pokemon news, the cozy game Pokemon Pokopia is getting a free underwater expansion in August as well as paid DLC. Meanwhile, one thief’s attempt to steal valuable Pokemon cards with a chainsaw ended very badly for him.
