Not only do you get to take home a trophy if you win the Pokémon World Championships 2024, but there are other prizes, including prize cards, and, of course, cash.
While there are multiple age divisions, each with unique prizes, we’ll focus on the Master’s Division prize pool here, as it’s the largest and most straightforward to follow.
