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. At the 2025 Europe International Championships, this includes a prize pool of over $500,000 USD, Pokémon Trading Card Game booster packs, and direct invitations to the 2025 Pokémon World Championships.
Younger Trainers can win plenty of prizes as well, but instead of cash, they’ll be eligible to win scholarships or prepaid Visa cards.
There’s also a huge pile 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!
See below for a breakdown of the award values available at the 2025 Europe International Championships.

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 Europe 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 North America International Championships.
Values of Travel Awards and Travel Stipends differ, but in each age division in each rating zone, 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 International Championships. This means that the top players after the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships will have the unique opportunity to register for the 2025 Pokémon North America 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 the competitor EUIC Event Portal. Good luck, Trainers!
