Summary of "POKEMON NEWS! 2 NEW EEVEELUTIONS FOR GEN 10? NEW Winds & Waves Trademarks & Champions Details!"
Big-picture announcements
- Pokémon Japan Championships announced for June 6–7, 2026. Artwork shown in the announcement includes multiple Mega forms (some auto-generated subtitle names were incorrect).
- The Japan tournament will use Pokémon Champions as the competitive platform and will run double battles under regulation M2A.
- Pokémon Champions will be the main competition platform going forward, even though its Pokédex will not include every Pokémon initially — this raises questions about competitive completeness and which species will be available.
Trademarks (Winds & Waves)
- Nintendo / Creatures / Game Freak registered trademarks in Japan (Feb 26) for “Pokémon Winds” and “Pokémon Waves”.
- The filings included new names/images (possible starter names appearing in subtitles: Miori, Pom, Habro). These may point to:
- New Pokémon or starters,
- New regional mechanics, or
- New forms tied to the Winds & Waves titles.
- Trademarks can hint at new forms or mechanics (for example, possible Winds/Waves gimmicks, forms, or evolutions).
Eevee-evolution hints for Generation 10 (Winds & Waves)
- Fans found a painting in Neona’s house (Scarlet & Violet) showing two Eevees. The community interprets this as an intentional hint for one or two new Eeveelutions in Gen 10.
- Theories discussed:
- The region’s geography (Wallace-line inspiration; east/west or north/south splits) could produce split evolutions—different evolution depending on location.
- Possible types speculated: flying, dragon, sound, ghost, etc.
- Nothing is confirmed; these are speculative but supported by other in-game Easter eggs.
Shellos / Gastrodon hints
- Poctopia (in-game texts) mentions attempts to create a yellow Shellos and references a “Seas Legend” text found in other games (BDSP / Legends: Arceus references).
- This may indicate a new Shellos/Gastrodon form (a north/south or alternate-color form) appearing in Winds & Waves or as Poctopia/DLC content.
- Again, this is speculative but notable due to repeated references across sources.
Pokémon Champions — new stat/training system and Home interaction
New stat/training system (overview)
- Champions treats Pokémon at level 50 for tournament battles.
- IVs are reported as fixed at 31.
- EV system replaced by Stat Points (SPs):
- Up to 66 SPs total per Pokémon.
- Maximum of 32 SPs can be assigned to a single stat.
- Conversion reference: 1 SP ≈ 8 old EVs (used for EV-equivalent framing).
- New formula factors: base stat, level (50), IV (31), SP, and nature.
- Purpose: simplify competitive setup — drop SPs to tune stats instead of complex EV grinding.
Practical SP notes
- Total SP cap: 66
- Per-stat cap: 32
- Conversion guide: 1 SP ≈ 8 EVs (approximate)
- Team-building tip mentioned in the video: for a fast special attacker, put SPs into Speed and Special Attack (example: 32 SP Speed, 32 SP SpA where allowed, then distribute remaining SPs for bulk). Keep the 66 total and 32-per-stat caps in mind.
Pokémon Home interactions and limits
- SP/training changes made in Champions are not permanently written to Pokémon Home. If you send a Pokémon back to Home after training in Champions, it reverts to its Home state; returning it to Champions re-applies the Champions training.
- Only Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions can be brought in from Home; Champions will not include every species at launch.
- Pokémon obtained inside Champions (recruited or gifted) cannot be deposited into Pokémon Home.
- Moves that are not usable in Champions may need to be changed within Champions; move/training changes do not carry to Home (but will persist if the Pokémon returns to Champions).
- Early confusion in community posts about whether IVs exist in Champions appears to be resolved by the baseline IV=31 and the SP replacement for EVs. Champions formalizes level/IV baselines and replaces EVs with SPs to streamline competitive building.
Gameplay / tournament tips & implications
- Prepare for a double-battle meta (M2A regulation): build synergy, support moves, and doubles-specific strategies.
- Learn the SP system before Champions launch: plan SP spreads using the 32-per-stat cap and 66-total cap.
- Be mindful of Home transfers: building a Pokémon in Champions and sending it back to Home will revert changes; plan saves and team composition accordingly.
- Check which Pokémon and moves are present in Champions before relying on them — not all species or moves will be supported at launch.
Speculative notes and community expectations
- Multiple Poctopia / Scarlet & Violet Easter eggs (Neona’s house, paintings, etc.) have been read by the community as intentional teases toward Gen 10 content; nothing official has been confirmed.
- Fans hope for at least one new Eeveelution (maybe two) and possibly new regional forms (Shellos variants, other regional evolutions) tied to Winds & Waves’ regional split.
