All New Pokémon & Held Items in Pokémon Champions in Regulation M-B Update
Pokémon Champions, the official Video Game Championship (VGC) competitive format, has received a major update with the transition to Regulation M-B on June 17. The update introduces 22 new Pokémon species and 11 new Mega Evolution forms to the game’s roster, alongside new Held Items and previously unrevealed abilities for the newly available Mega Evolution forms. These additions significantly expand the strategic options available to competitive players.
The Regulation M-B update coincides with the long-awaited mobile release of Pokémon Champions, extending the game’s availability beyond its initial Nintendo Switch launch earlier in 2026. This mobile expansion makes the official VGC format more accessible to players worldwide.
With these new Pokémon and Mega Evolution options now available, competitors in VGC events globally must reassess their team compositions and strategies. The addition of 11 new Mega Evolution forms is particularly significant for competitive play, as these transformations provide substantial stat boosts and ability changes that can dramatically impact battle outcomes. Regulation M-B represents an evolution of the Pokémon Champions competitive format, offering increased depth and variety in team building while maintaining competitive integrity.
