More about the Pokémon Europe International Championships

After more than two years of online competition, this event will mark the first in-person Pokémon International Championships since the Oceania International Championships in February of 2020.

Alongside the North America International Championships in June, the European event will be one of only two International Championships before the World Championships take place in August. Meanwhile, results from the 2019 Latin America Championships and the 2020 Oceania Championships will count toward this year’s finale event.

The Pokémon Company previously faced backlash for how it handled registration for the Europe International Championships. There was an undisclosed registration cap for the event, which was reached before registration was announced on social media. However, The Pokémon Company later opened up additional slots for the VGC and TCG Masters divisions.
