Mega evolutions confirmed!
Upcoming title Pokémon Champions is still far away from its release, but we already know that the Omni Ring will be present.
The item is already on the game’s official website, and it made the news during the 2025 World Championships final. It has already been confirmed that Pokémon Champions will be the official VGC software in Worlds 2026, and the Omni Ring will play an important role in the game.
How will the Omni Ring work in Pokémon Champions?
It’s important to note that the Omni Ring’s functions will only be clear once Pokémon Champions releases in 2026 (an exact release date remains unknown as of writing). However, we have official confirmation of its primary purpose: triggering mega evolutions during battles.
The item will be worn by trainers, enabling them to mega-evolve their Pokémon. In many ways, the Omni Ring is expected to work similarly to how the Mega Ring works in the mainline series.
Based on the current artwork of the ring, I expect the Omni Ring to have more functions. This will largely depend on the evolution features of the game. The Omni Ring may be used to enable features like Dynamax and perform Z-moves. Everything ultimately depends on the type of Pokémon we will get at launch, as not every creature can grow in battle with the help of the Dynamax ability.
Interestingly, the concept of mega evolutions has been making news a lot lately since the 2025 World Championships ended. While Pokémon Champions isn’t coming out soon, Pokémon TCG Pocket is getting Mega Evolutions for the first time. The Company has confirmed that Mega Evolutions will be available in TCG Pocket during the Fall. How we will be able to mega evolve our Pokémon remains anyone’s guess at this point.
One this is for sure that the Mega Evolutions will completely change the meta, but the extent is to be seen.
