Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z: How to Get the Mega Stone in Season M-8

Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z is available as a reward on the Premium Battle Pass for Season M-8. It is the Mega Stone for Mega Garchomp Z, not the ordinary Garchompite used for regular Mega Garchomp. Pokémon has also included Garchomp as a separate Premium Pokémon reward this season.

If you’re trying to get the Stone, open the current Premium reward track and check its level first. The Season M-8 notice confirms the reward but doesn’t publish the precise level or Season Points required. You have until 1 December 2026 at 1:59am GMT to work on this pass, one day before Ranked Battles ends.

How to get Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z in Season M-8

Open Pokémon Champions and head to the active Battle Pass. You’ll see the standard rewards and the extra rewards marked for Premium. The official M-8 list includes Garchompite Z and Salamencite on the Premium track, together with Garchomp and Salamence.

Your pass level goes up as you earn Season Points (SP) from Ranked Battles and competitions. When you reach the Stone’s reward level, Premium access allows you to claim it. Buying Premium doesn’t automatically grant all of the season’s listed rewards at once, so make sure you can reach the level shown in your game.

For Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z, the crucial information is on the live pass screen: your current level, the level containing the Stone and how much SP remains. The official announcement doesn’t supply an exact tier number, UK Premium price or fixed number of wins needed. Using an older season’s reward table would send you in the wrong direction.

Is Garchompite Z free or Premium?

It’s a Premium reward. Inteleon is on the free track along with Trainer icons, tickets and 10,000 VP. Garchomp appears as a free Trainer icon, but the Garchomp Pokémon and its Garchompite Z Mega Stone are both named in the Premium list.

That’s an easy detail to miss. A Garchomp icon is only a cosmetic profile reward, not a new Garchomp for your Box. Likewise, obtaining the Pokémon doesn’t by itself confirm you’ve collected Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z. Check and claim each item separately on the Battle Pass.

Can you buy Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z using VP?

Pokémon says certain Mega Stones associated with Premium passes may also be sold through the in-game Shop for Victory Points. It hasn’t confirmed a separate VP listing or price for Garchompite Z in the Season M-8 notice. Check your Shop inventory before assuming you can skip the Premium route.

Victory Points (VP) and Season Points (SP) are different. VP can pay for applicable purchases, recruiting and training. SP moves you through the Battle Pass. Having enough VP for something in the Shop won’t automatically advance you to the Garchompite Z level on the pass.

What’s the difference between Garchompite and Garchompite Z?

The names describe two different Mega Evolutions. Garchompite is for regular Mega Garchomp, while Garchompite Z is for Mega Garchomp Z. When you set up Garchomp’s held item, make sure you’re using the Stone that matches the form you want.

Mega Garchomp Z joined the eligible Mega Evolutions under Regulation M-C. It loses Garchomp’s Ground typing when it Mega Evolves, becoming a pure Dragon type, and its battle ability is Levitate. Its notably high Speed and Special Attack make it a different prospect from the ordinary Mega Garchomp build. Pokémon’s Regulation M-C analysis highlights moves such as Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Power Gem and Flamethrower as options.

Under Regulation M-C, Mega Evolution is limited to once per battle and duplicate held items aren’t allowed. Before you take a team into Season M-8 Ranked, check that the Pokémon and its Stone are legal for the selected Singles or Doubles format. The current Check Rules menu is more reliable than an old screenshot.

Don’t confuse the Champions reward with Legends: Z-A

You’ll also find a Garchompite Z item in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where it is associated with an encounter in the Mega Dimension DLC. That’s a different game’s acquisition method. Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z in this guide comes from the Champions Season M-8 Premium Battle Pass, not from completing a hyperspace distortion mission.

Even if you play both games, follow the Champions reward instructions when you’re trying to collect the pass item. Guides about the Legends: Z-A Mystery Gift and its DLC encounter will not tell you what level to reach in the Champions Battle Pass.

When does the Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z reward end?

The Season M-8 Battle Pass closes on Tuesday 1 December at 1:59am GMT. The Ranked Battles season continues until 2 December at 1:59am GMT, but that later date isn’t a confirmed extension for the paid reward track.

If Pokémon Champions Garchompite Z is the only reward you want, check the live track and the Shop first. That lets you make the decision based on what is actually available to your account, rather than gambling on an unverified level, price or alternative route.
