2025 Pokémon Latin America International Championships Prizing Information

The International Championships are not just a global stage to prove you’re among the best in the world—they’re also an opportunity to win amazing prizes that include a prize pool of over $500,000 USD, Pokémon Trading Card Game booster packs, and direct invitations to the 2025 Pokémon World Championships. Our younger Trainers can win plenty of prizes as well, but instead of cash, they’ll be eligible to win scholarships or pre-paid VISA cards. There’s also a plethora of Championship Points on the line—these are crucial for climbing the leaderboard as you work toward a coveted Worlds invitation and numerous Travel Awards!

Travel Support

As you work your way up the Championship Points leaderboard during specific qualification periods, you may become eligible to earn Travel Awards that include monetary prizes and a new award—priority registration! The 2025 Pokémon Latin America International Championships represent the last chance to earn Championship Points and move up the leaderboard during this qualification period, so it’s a great opportunity to make that last push toward a Travel Award for the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships.

Values of Travel Awards and Travel Stipends differ, but the top 32 Pokémon TCG players, top 16 Pokémon video game players, and top 16 Pokémon GO players will all be eligible for priority registration for the next major International Championships. This means that the top players after the 2025 Pokémon Latin America International Championships will have the unique opportunity to register for the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships as a competitor before registration officially opens to all interested Trainers.

For more details on cash prizing (or the equivalent), booster pack prizing, Championship Points, and more, check out COPAG’s 2025 LAIC Hub. Good luck, Trainers!
