Pokémon Champions is now out on Nintendo Switch devices, and you finally battle your friends to find out who is the best. While friendly battles certainly have some limitations in the current build, the game still covers the basics pretty well.

Let's first look at how to set up a friendly battle with your buddy.

How to add friends in Pokémon Champions

To battle with your friend, you'll first need to add them to the game. To do so, open the sub-menu from the home screen. Then, you'll need to view your user ID by pressing the X button on your Switch console. Copy the ID and send it to your friend. Alternatively, you can enter the ID of your buddy.

Does Pokémon Champions have local PvP

There's absolutely no way to play offline PvP games in Pokémon Champions with your friends. Pokémon Champions also requires a persistent internet connection at all times, and the only option for friendlies is via the private room routes.

While there's casual play, I haven't managed to find a way to make a pre-made team in duos with your friend to take on other players. That could change in the future with updates from TPC. For the time being, the only option in duos is to matchmake with strangers.
