In addition, The Pokémon Company group released the Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue Game Music Collection: Game Boy Jukebox.

Starting today, players can claim a new Mystery Gift that will unlock the opportunity to enter a special hyperspace distortion where they must battle and defeat a Mega Garchomp Z to obtain a Garchompite Z stone.Notes:
To access the hyperspace distortion where Mega Garchomp Z can be encountered, Trainers must first complete one or more hyperspace adventures in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC.
Players do not need to purchase the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC (sold separately) to claim this Mystery Gift. However, the DLC is required to detect this special hyperspace distortion.
Pokémon Champions
Pokémon Champions is coming first to Nintendo Switch in April, with mobile release following later this year.
Trainers can start battling it out this April in the Pokémon Champions game on Nintendo Switch — and later this year on mobile devices.
Later this year, Trainers will be able to connect the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game to Pokémon HOME. By linking Pokémon Champions to Pokémon HOME, they’ll be able to bring Pokémon that appear in both these titles to visit Pokémon Champions and battle alongside them as they aim for the title of Champion. Trainers can also claim additional rewards in Pokémon Champions, such as a Chesnaughtite stone, Delphoxite stone and Greninjite stone, by transferring these Mega Stones’ corresponding Pokémon that were originally obtained in Pokémon Legends: Z-A into Pokémon HOME.
We look forward to seeing Pokémon Champions on the main stage for the Video Game Championships later this year at the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco.
Pokémon World Championships
Some further details were shared about the 2026 Pokémon World Championships and its sister event, Pokémon XP.
Today, Trainers were able to get a new glimpse at both PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships, including the official event artwork and more details about the interest list and ticketing information for both events in San Francisco later this year. PokémonXP is an all-new fan convention where Trainers from around the globe can celebrate their love of Pokémon with a variety of unique offerings and engaging activities, with something for everyone.
For both PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships, Trainers can register for the multi-day interest list from April 2 through April 23 and will be notified if they were selected at a later date. Fans can register their attendee interest for single-day passes beginning early this summer.
Additional information on pricing and passes, including the arena experience for Championship Sunday and the Pokémon Center pop-up store, can be found on the official PokémonXP website.
