Pokemon Champions Is The Official Competitive Software For Worlds 2026, Here's Why That's A Big Deal
Competitive Pokemon is going through a huge change in 2026.
During the closing ceremonies at this year's Pokemon World Championship Series, The Pokemon Company dropped a bombshell. In 2026, the upcoming Pokemon Champions will replace Pokemon Scarlet & Violet as the official software for tournament play. For the first time since VGC was introduced to Worlds in 2008, the current mainline video game will not be featured at the World Championship. Instead, a not-yet-released mobile game will take its place.
