Pokemon Champions' lousy launch is getting slightly less lousy thanks to a new bug fix that stops our beloved pocket monsters from being forever stuck in limbo on their way to or from Pokemon Home, the digital bank that lets you move 'mons between games.
The Pokemon Company today detailed a list of known issues plaguing the game, alongside one single fix now preventing the communication error that many a trainer got when trying to send Pokemon over to the battler. Other in-progress bug fixes include a faulty description for Leech Seed, an error with how genders are displayed, the order of Mega Evolutions occurring, and more.

"We will continue to investigate any other issues," the developer writes in machine translated quotes, apologizing to players for any "inconvenience."
Competitive VGC player Justin Carris alerted everyone to the problem of trapped 'mons yesterday, explaining that the issue persisted across both the Switch and mobile versions of Pokemon Home.
Carris reported that an error message would halt the transfer of Pokemon traveling into Champions, but a separate error message would then also claim that those 'mons were still in the PvP game and were unable to be withdrawn, essentially meaning they were stuck in the middle. Removing those error message should mean those affected 'mon now have a route back from limbo.
