About the event
You can battle in the Pokémon TCG, Pokémon video game, and Pokémon GO Regional Championships, which take place all over the world! Aside from the Pokémon International Championships, the Pokémon Regional Championships are the largest events in terms of both attendance and Championship Point payouts.
Cash prizes, scholarships, and gift cards
No qualifications or residency restrictions for tournament entry
Pokémon Special Championships are similar to Regional Championships in that they host Pokémon TCG, Pokémon video game, and Pokémon GO competitions and offer the same Championship Point payouts. However, they do not have set prizes—any prizing is at the discretion of the event organizers.
To play in the World Championships you have to be invited, based on your performance during the year - either winning Regionals or Internationals, or your Championship Point score.
