Teammate Tickets are one of many currencies available in competitive battling game Pokémon Champions.

By default, recruited Pokémon are lent to you for one week and cannot be trained. But with a Teammate Ticket, you can have them in your collection permanently.

While you can also spend VP, Teammate Tickets are a single use resource that's best used first, so here's how to get Teammate Tickets in Pokémon Champions.

There's a few other currencies to learn about, such as Training Tickets and Quick Coupons, as well as all-important VP and SP, all helping you get more out of the Pokémon Champions roster.

Teammate Tickets are a currency you acquire outside of battles, such as completing missions and progressing the Battle Pass.

The various methods of getting Training Tickets are as follows:

Remember, you can always spend VP if you run out of Teammate Tickets. But since VP has far more uses across Pokémon Champions, then sourcing - and spending - Teammate Tickets should be your first port of call.

You can also sidestep the whole recruit process and get c from Pokémon Home instead, though this requires you populate a collection by playing and transferring from other games first (such as Pokémon Go) as this infographic shows:

How to spend Teammate Tickets in Pokémon Champions

Teammate Tickets are spent in the Recruit area of Pokémon Champions. Once you have selected one of the 10 Pokémon available to you every 22 hours (or less with the use of Quick Coupons), you can either recruit temporarily or permanently.

The latter option has two methods of payment: 2,500 VP, or one Teammate Ticket.
