The 2025 Pokémon North America International Championships have concluded, and the newest champions have been crowned.
Players battled in New Orleans across the franchise’s multiple titles: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE. After a busy weekend of battles, fans who attended the event got the first look at the exclusive merchandise that will be available at the onsite Pokémon Center at the Anaheim Convention Center for the 2025 Pokémon World Championships, held Aug. 15-17.
Fans can purchase an event-exclusive Pikachu plush wearing a red letterman jacket adorned with a lightning bolt and the letter “P.” A special Pikachu playing card will also commemorate the event, though it will also be available at select retailers outside of the event later this year.
