Pokemon World Championships 2024 is finally over and there is more than plenty of news and drama that happened over the weekend!
Players of Pokemon TCG Live were treated to a Special Illustration rare Pecharunt ex in-game on Day 1 to celebrate. Players just had to enter the code "OutburstWorlds24" and the card was there's to play in-game.
Players got an in depth look at Pokemon Pocket, a new mobile experience, as well as a release date of 30th October! People could have a go at pulling rare cards in demo booths as well as getting a better look at some of the cards that will feature in the game. Cards that stood out to fans were the Sabrina Supoorter card and a mesmerising Squirtle illustration card. This closer look also showcased the new boarder design for the game which have an ornate, premium feel to them! Players also got to experience the Immersive art for themselves that was shown off in the announcement trailer earlier this year.

In terms of news for Paradise Dragona there are going to be special "Sealed Battle" tournaments including promos. These will be available at participating Pokemon Card Gym Stores from September 13th, the same day as Pokemon's next set Stellar Crown.
Day 3 of Worlds crowned the Pokemon Champions and winners of the 3 categories. Fernando Cifuentes won the Masters Division with Iron Thorns ex, Evan Pavelski won the Seniors Division with Regidrago VSTAR and Sakuya Ota won the Juniors Division with Roaring Moon ex. We expect to see special versions of the decks as World Championship products like we did last year.
One of the biggest reveals that got everyone's attention however, is the reveal of Trainer's Pokemon! In the reveal we got a look at Lillie's Clefairy ex, Marnie's Grimmsnarlex as well as N's Zoroark ex and N's Reshiram. We are thrilled to see these cards make a return and cant wait to see how they shake it up. At the very end of the trailer we also got a massive tease for a Team Rocket set releasing, something we will have to keep our eyes peeled for in future.
At the end of the Ceremony we got told where the next Worlds will be located, as well as the year after which surprised many fans! Pokemon World Championship 2025 will be hosted in Anaheim and 2026 will be in San Francisco.
