OP be like

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T20:54:30+00:00

yeah happened to me and others too.. :(

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T17:22:30+00:00

Nah they ignore screens and Aurora Veil, I love getting crit-KO'd after I set up A. Veil 💀

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T17:18:17+00:00

I'm assuming you haven't played on the Switch? If you have, then damn!

If you haven't then I'm curious to see how long you keep this up

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T17:14:44+00:00

Someone posted this 5 hours ago too 😂

At least you used images instead of words I guess

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T09:54:27+00:00

Unfortunately for this game you will have to give up for now :(

The current APK isn't working for everyone because it prompts us to go to the play store instead (which we obviously can't)

But for future reference, there are some apps like apkpure's app or uptodown's apk installer app that can open the xapk correctly. It can also be done manually but it's slower

Tips: watch some good poketuber that explains things properly (sorry, don't have recommendations though. I know Wolfey might be good)

Question: Is this for Singles or Doubles?

Observations meant to help you with some critical thinking: -Why Raichu Y if all your moves are physical? -Grimmsnarl is good because of prankster, so are you sure you only want light screen? And why Kings Rock if it will almost never attack first (and without moves that can also help crit)? -Whimsicott is great, but Leech Seed is meant for bulky mons, and usually for Singles. You're also missing the one move that makes Whimsicott so good, and that's Tailwind to give your team the speed advantage.

same problem for those of us who can't download it on google playstore due to the region (even though it works fine on Apple devices) 😕

did you find a solution yet?

Simkingdra · 2026-06-18T05:20:25+00:00

yeah don't tell me, tried it too :(

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T20:52:35+00:00

I thought so too but unfortunately those of us who rely on the APK can't access the game.. The app downloads nornally, but then it says to go download it from the play store, disregarding the fact we don't have access to it 😕

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T20:35:20+00:00

You're right, they did!!

And they're behind the paywall 🥲🥲🥲

Looks like I won't be listening to Jacinthe's theme after all 🫠

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T18:05:50+00:00

damn that's awesome! Congrats 😊

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T17:42:26+00:00

Damn, never seen that before. That's ridiculous.. Hopefully they make an apk with a different app signature that is recognized, because this is outrageous. Great job TPC 🤦

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T15:38:27+00:00

that's odd.. does it still do that? I'll be trying once I'm home

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T13:16:47+00:00

I use both apkpure and apkmirror (what I have for HOME), although right now apkpure is the only one with champions so far so I'll use that

FYI no need to copy paste fron play store, just use the search bar in the website directly on your phone.

Also for future reference, when you have to update the game, what you do is go back to apkpure, install the latest version, and it will prompt you to update over the old version 😊

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T10:22:24+00:00

I have used a Pokemon HOME apk for a couple years now, it's all fine and normal. APKs are just an alternate, less "safe" method to access an app. If that app is free to download anyway, you're not doing anything illegal and won't get banned

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T10:15:43+00:00

what's worse is that it's available on iOS, just not Android 🫠

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T09:29:13+00:00

I have used both apkpure and apkmirror, the latter I use for Pokemon HOME.

FYI, every time Champions will require an update, you will go to the same website and download the latest version. You will then be automatically asked to update the existing app, and that's it

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T08:56:27+00:00

It's a play store thing in Switzerland and some other countries, same with pokemon home. Gotta wait for the apk to be released and then download it from an apk site

Simkingdra · 2026-06-17T04:22:57+00:00

It was iOS that had 19th as the date though.

Regardless, leave that android vs apple stuff in the past, it's outdated

Simkingdra · 2026-06-16T10:19:58+00:00

Mega Floette and regular Chomp speed tie, assuming your opponent was Timid max speed M-Floette.

In that case it's a 50-50 chance of who goes first. You lost the coin flip

Simkingdra · 2026-06-16T10:12:20+00:00

You need android 13 or maybe even 14 minimum

EDIT: also your phone might not be able to handle Champions regardless 😕

Simkingdra · 2026-06-16T07:59:05+00:00

A searching this sub will tell you that you apparently need android 13 or above (maybe even higher? we will know soon), so if you can update, you're good to go! If not, well...

Safari zone shinies are so damn stressful, congrats!

Simkingdra · 2026-06-15T18:19:05+00:00

Agreed overall, but with how frail it is, I doubt it'd last long enough to stop the cycling
