Pokémon Champions has announced its events for November 2026, including the M-8 Battle Pass, a monthly online competition and a new ranked season. The game is free to play on Nintendo Switch, with a mobile release planned for later.
The M-8 Battle Pass is now available with rewards and cosmetic items inspired by Grimsley from Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It also features the Garchomp Z and Salamence Mega Stones, along with special gifts featuring Garchomp, Salamence and Inteleon.
The November 2026 Monthly Challenge Series is an online singles competition using Regulation M-C. Players who complete at least three battles will receive Pawmot and 100 Quick Coupons. Registration runs from November 13 at 01:59 UTC until November 23 at 01:59 UTC, while battles take place from November 20 at 02:00 UTC through November 23 at 01:59 UTC.
All participants will earn the “MCS 11/2026 Challenger” title. Additional titles will be awarded by placement: “Master” for ranks 1–10, “Veteran” for 11–100, “Ace” for 101–1,000, and “Rising Star” for 1,001–10,000.
The M-8 ranked season is also underway and will remain active until December 2 at 01:59 UTC. It continues to use Regulation M-C, which has been in effect since early September, and allows currently available Pokémon and their Mega-Evolved forms. Rewards for participating in the M-7 season are also available.
