Pikachu shows up in a special outfit and London gets its own Pokémon species representative too.
As with many large-scale entertainment events and international competitions, the Pokémon World Championships were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Pokémon World Championships run from August 18 to 21.
There’s even going to be a Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store during the World Championships, and much like their counterparts in Japan, London’s will have its own representative Pokémon species, Roserade.
