Ups and Downs of Pokémon Champions

About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing Latias event in Pokémon Sleep and the launch issues of Pokémon Champions.

Pokémon Sleep's new Latias event is ongoing and we give a recap of how we feel about this event. Pokémon Champions is here and we talk about VP, the Battle Pass, the Yearly Membership, and recruitment from the Ranch. Champions launched with a lot of issues and bugs and a couple have already gotten fixed with an acknowledgment of another fix to come at an unknown date? The game seems very solid for those who are mostly using Pokémon HOME to send over their team.
