Sensor Tower data shows Japan generated about 50% of revenue for the mobile version of Pokémon Champions in its first month, making it the largest market. South Korea followed with 10% and Taiwan with 4%. Japan also led in downloads, tied with the US at 14% each, and held the top ranking for 26 days.
Sensor Tower's survey covers the period from June 17 to July 16, 2026, the first month of the mobile version's service. Japan and the United States tied for the largest download share at 14% each, while South Korea and Thailand also ranked high, pointing to broad APAC support.
Revenue tells a different story. Japan accounted for roughly half of all revenue, with South Korea at 10% and Taiwan at 4%. The download rankings also showed regional variation: many major markets hit number one on day one, but the US and Brazil declined early, while Japan stayed in the top five for the full first month.
Advertising data from April to July 2026 showed TikTok took about 50% of ad impression share in Japan, while YouTube dominated in the US at roughly 70%, with only about 3% in Japan.
