Recruiting and Rosters

In Pokémon Champions, you can recruit Pokémon in-game to battle alongside you.

You’ll be able to meet a new lineup of Pokémon without using VP every 22 hours.

You can also use VP or Quick Coupons to shorten how long you must wait before you can recruit another Pokémon.

The Pokémon that you can recruit will differ depending on the roster.

The lineups of Pokémon that you recruit from will never contain more than one of the same Pokémon.

Dedicated tickets may be needed for certain special rosters.
