Pokémon Champions is a lightweight download by modern standards. The Nintendo eShop lists the Switch (and Switch 2) version at about 2.1 GB; Switch 2 owners get a free graphics-enhancement update rather than a separate large build. On mobile the App Store and Google Play download is roughly 4 GB, with the installed footprint reported closer to 2.2 GB after optimization. Because the game is a service-style competitive battler, expect the install to grow over time as post-launch updates add Pokémon, mechanics and seasonal content.
