The Pokémon Europe International Championships take place at London Excel on 17 – 19 November 2017, and registration is now open. Pokémon players from around the world can come together and compete in the Pokémon Trading Card Game or Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video game competitions for the chance to win Championship Points or other prizes.

If you wish to take part then you will need to register in advance and pick up a competitor badge. To participate in a main event, players must register in advance (£45 for Masters Division players and £30 for Junior and Senior Division players). Players will also receive a competitor badge, lanyard, player pin, promo card, deck box, set of card sleeves, and either a playmat (for Pokémon Trading Card Game competitors) or a hat (for video game competitors).

If you’d just like to attend as a spectator, you’ll also need to register (£10, but you’ll also receive two Pokémon Trading Card Game booster packs along with your spectator badge).
