Overview
- The Pokémon Company and The Pokémon Works set the iOS and Android release for June 17, 2026, and opened pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play.
- The mobile build will support cross-play and cross-save so Switch players can continue progress and battle on phones using the same Nintendo Account.
- From June 17 to early September players who log in can claim a free Raichu plus two Mega Stones (Raichunite X and Raichunite Y) via the in‑game mailbox.
- Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y will join the roster at launch with distinct abilities—Electric Surge for X and No Guard for Y—giving new team‑building options in competitive play.
- The mobile debut coincides with the start of the Regulation M‑B season, a ruleset change that could reshape the playable roster and create turbulence as new mobile players enter a title that launched on Switch on April 8 with mixed reviews over monetization and performance.
