Pokémon Champions Season M-8 Battle Pass is live, with Inteleon on the free reward track and Salamence, Garchomp, Salamencite and Garchompite Z among the Premium prizes. It started on 4 November 2026 and ends on 1 December at 1:59am GMT. That’s one day earlier than the separate Ranked Battles season ends.
You earn rewards by levelling the pass with Season Points from Ranked Battles and competitions. There’s no need to buy Premium if you only want the listed free rewards, but the Mega Stones and Grisham Outfit Set sit on the paid track. Here’s exactly what Pokémon has confirmed, without filling the gaps with made-up tier numbers or prices.
Pokémon Champions Season M-8 Battle Pass rewards: free and Premium
| Reward | Free track | Premium track |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon | Inteleon | Salamence and Garchomp |
| Mega Stones | None named | Salamencite and Garchompite Z |
| Trainer icons | Garchomp and Inteleon | Salamence and Mega Garchomp Z |
| Tickets | 48 Quick Coupons, 4 Teammate Tickets, 4 Training Tickets | No additional ticket total listed in the notice |
| VP | 10,000 VP | No separate VP amount listed |
| Clothing | No named outfit | Grisham Outfit Set |
These are the named rewards in the official Season M-8 notice. It isn’t a complete tier-by-tier list, and Pokémon hasn’t published the exact level for each item in that notice. For the order and points required, check the active pass in your game.
When does the Pokémon Champions Season M-8 Battle Pass end?
The pass opened on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 2:00am GMT and closes on Tuesday 1 December 2026 at 1:59am GMT. The times are published in UTC and are the same in the UK while we’re on GMT.
Don’t confuse that with Ranked Battles Season M-8, which the dedicated Ranked notice says ends on 2 December at 1:59am GMT. A separate general Pokémon news article gives conflicting Ranked dates, but the in-game Ranked notice and the Battle Pass notice provide distinct end times. If you need a Battle Pass reward, work to the earlier 1 December cutoff.
How to earn Season Points and level up
Play Ranked Battles or eligible competitions to earn Season Points (SP). Those points raise your Battle Pass level and open up rewards as you reach the relevant steps. Pokémon’s general rewards page also says SP can be awarded for wins and losses depending on how a match went, so a defeat doesn’t automatically mean you’ve earned nothing.
The easiest way to work out your remaining grind is to open the pass, check your current level and look at the next reward. The Pokémon Champions Season M-8 Battle Pass announcement doesn’t tell us how many points every tier requires, and the number of matches depends on the SP you earn. Any universal match count would be a guess.
SP shouldn’t be confused with Victory Points (VP). The free track includes 10,000 VP as a reward, but that’s a separate in-game currency used for things such as recruiting and training Pokémon. You don’t spend that 10,000 VP to raise your pass level.
What do you actually get with Premium?
The biggest reasons to consider Premium this month are the additional Pokémon and Mega Stones. Salamence, Garchomp, Salamencite and Garchompite Z are all explicitly named. Premium also includes Salamence and Mega Garchomp Z Trainer icons and the Grisham Outfit Set.
Buying Premium makes those extra rewards available when you reach their levels. It doesn’t mean every listed Pokémon or item arrives immediately after purchase. Check which levels you’ve reached, what remains locked, and how much time is left. The official notice doesn’t state a UK purchase price, so use the price displayed in your own game.
Pokémon says some Premium Mega Stones can also be bought in the Shop using VP. That doesn’t confirm whether Salamencite or Garchompite Z is currently available separately, or what either would cost. It’s worth checking the Shop before buying Premium for one Stone alone.
Is the free Pokémon Champions Season M-8 Battle Pass worth completing?
There’s plenty to collect without spending anything: Inteleon, two Trainer icons, 48 Quick Coupons, four Teammate Tickets, four Training Tickets and 10,000 VP. If you’re already playing Ranked Battles, those are useful rewards to pick up as your SP accumulates.
The Premium choice comes down to whether you want its particular Pokémon, Mega Stones and outfit. That matters more than a generic claim that Premium is always the best value. You can see your current level and the rewards you’ve got left before deciding.
What happens when Season M-8 ends?
Season Points and Battle Pass level reset each season. Premium is seasonal as well, so a new season requires a new pass purchase if you want its extra rewards. Pokémon says rewards identical to items already in your inventory may convert to VP, but doesn’t give a guaranteed conversion figure for every item.
If you’ve got an eye on Garchompite Z, check its position on the Premium track now rather than assuming it sits at the same level as a Stone from an older pass. Our Garchompite Z guide covers the distinction between that Stone and ordinary Garchompite.
