It&#8217;s a free-to-play title on mobile, and there&#8217;s a valuable in-game freebie available for players on all platforms who join in now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting from today, June 17, until Wednesday, September 2, Pokemon Champions players on both mobile and consoles will get Raichu and the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y stones by checking their in-game mailbox. With the Mega Stones, players have the option to evolve Raichu into more powerful forms, including Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pokemon Company International didn&#8217;t specify whether the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y stones would be for sale after September 2. While the game itself is free, it does have in-game purchases in addition to free downloads. Players on Switch can also pick up their games on mobile through cross-play and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For players who are new to Pokemon Champions, GameSpot has put together a beginner&#8217;s guide to the game. GameSpot&#8217;s Pokemon Champions Review on Switch 2 gave it a 7\/10, and called it &#8220;one of the most thrilling competitive games&#8221; for players who are willing to put in the time and learn how to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other Pokemon news, the cozy game Pokemon Pokopia is getting a free underwater expansion in August as well as paid DLC.
