Pokémon Champions has shipped with a bug that blocks higher 4K visuals when playing on a docked Switch 2 — unless you manually undock and then re-dock your console.
The graphical issue, discovered by players following the game’s launch yesterday, adds to the growing list of grumbles around the free-to-play battle game — such as missing features and modes, sluggish 30fps gameplay, and a small roster of supported creatures.
Now, players say that the Switch 2’s version is stuck at 1080p when playing docked — until you pick up your console, take it out of the dock, then put it back in. After doing this, the game will actually register it is connected to a docked Switch 2 console and shift to a higher 4K framerate (the game will still be stuck at 30fps, though).
A widely-shared post on social media by Pokémon fan account CentroLeaks suggested the game’s docked Switch 2 resolution was “halved” unless players perform the redocking trick to fix the issue. The trick must also be repeated every time the game is booted while playing in docked mode, it’s been claimed.
