Although Pokémon Champions is a free-to-play game, its monetization system is not overly aggressive. It offers several completely free ways to earn Victory Points, as well as other useful "currencies" and resources that can be obtained through in-game methods without spending money. These include Speed-Up Coupons, Recruitment Tickets, and Training Tickets.
If you have only recently started playing and are still unsure how to get these coupons and tickets easily—besides spending money—this section of our guide explains all the different ways to obtain them.
Speed-Up Coupons can be used to reduce the waiting time when recruiting new Pokémon. Each coupon reduces the timer by one hour, so you will probably want to collect as many as possible.
Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to earn coupons. We recommend taking advantage of all the following methods:
By focusing on all the activities listed above, you can earn a considerable number of coupons. As you can see, daily and weekly missions are the main recurring source of coupons.
Be sure to check the online Ranked Battle tournaments regularly as well, since participating in them may earn you coupons whenever they are included among the available rewards. You should also keep an eye on Mystery Gift codes, as some gifts may occasionally include these coupons.
Recruitment Tickets in Pokémon Champions can be used to recruit a Pokémon permanently instead of spending VP. Meanwhile, Training Tickets can be used to change a Pokémon's moves or Ability and improve its stats without spending VP.
Both types of ticket are particularly valuable, so there are not many ways to obtain them. Your main options for earning these tickets are as follows:
Unfortunately, aside from the methods mentioned above, there are no other ways to earn these Recruitment and Training Tickets for free. Your only remaining option involves spending money. If you visit the in-game shop and purchase a Pokémon Champions membership, you will unlock membership missions.
These exclusive missions change every few days and allow you to earn up to three Recruitment Tickets and three Training Tickets before each rotation. As mentioned above, you must purchase a subscription to access them, either monthly (€9.99) or annually (€49.99). You will be able to use this exclusive feature for as long as your membership remains active.
If you are particularly interested in obtaining tickets and do not mind spending real money on the game, this option is available to you. Otherwise, you will only be able to collect four free tickets of each type per season from Battle Pass rewards, provided you reach the required levels before the season resets.
