"Pokémon Champions is not quite the RPG you might be used to with. It's meant to be a platform for competitive battles, whether that be in official tournaments or casual play. You can either transfer Pokémon over from the Pokémon Home storage app or "recruit" monsters in the game itself."
"You'll only be able to recruit and train Pokémon in-game by using Victory Points, which you can earn through ranked battles. You can't buy them outright, however, so there doesn't seem to be a shortcut to making a team. You'll have to either build them within or transfer them from other games."
"The Pokémon you can recruit will rotate from the in-game shop, and you'll be able to choose between either temporarily recruiting them for no cost once a day, or paying 1000 VP to keep them on your team."
Pokémon Champions is a competitive battle simulator launching in April, distinct from traditional RPGs. Players can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Home or recruit them in-game using Victory Points earned through ranked battles. Recruited Pokémon rotate in the shop, available for temporary free daily use or permanent recruitment for 1000 VP. Alternative recruitment methods include Quick Coupons and Teammate Tickets earned through missions. The platform supports ranked, casual, and private battles for various competitive levels. A one-time starter pack offers box spaces, music options, and training vouchers. Victory Points cannot be purchased directly, preventing pay-to-win mechanics.
