@Game8_Pokemon I picked Snorlax and that Hawlucha has been my MVP

Here is a list of all Starter Pokemon and their team sets! ⚡ If you want a strong start in Pokemon Champions, your first pick matters a lot. 👀 Which do you think is the best starter Pokemon? #PokemonChampions

No,😭 the changes won’t carry over to HOME. HOME will only show the Pokemon’s original data, not any stat/move/ability changes made in Champions 🧾 BUUUTT if you bring that Pokemon back into Champions later, it’ll still remember everything exactly as you left it (moves, stats, ability, titles, etc.) 🔁 Basically changes only apply inside Champions 🎮

@Game8_Pokemon Question: so Im playing with Pokes from my other games. If I chose to change their stats and moves, then send them back to HOME, will the changes I made be permanent?

📊 Game8's Singles Tier List is Here! 👀 Here’s why the current S Tier Pokemon stand above the rest in Singles: 🥇 Garchomp - A versatile physical attacker with strong stats, solid Speed, and multiple viable builds, making it hard to predict and handle 🥇 Primarina - A powerful special attacker that pressures teams with strong STAB moves and utility like Perish Song These Pokemon consistently perform well across matchups and can carry games with minimal support 💥 Pokemon not shown here fall under C Tier 👀 Check the graphic below for the full breakdown! #PokemonChampions
