The Pokémon Trading Card Game featured the {{TCG|2021-22 Standard format}}, using all cards from {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} onward. Players received invitations from gaining enough [[Championship Point]]s throughout the year, with the best of them receiving Day Two Invitations, or from [[2019 World Championships|the previous World Championships]]. | |||
Day One of the tournament consisted of Swiss rounds for all players who didn't receive a Day Two invitation. Players with two or fewer losses and no ties advanced to Day Two. Day Two consisted of a new set of Swiss rounds not using the previous day's records and players could change decks between days. Players from this round with two or fewer losses and no ties were then seeded into a single-elimination tournament. | |||

World Championships |
|
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Bracket numbers and Juniors players |
The 2022 World Championships was held at ExCeL London in London, United Kingdom from August 18 to 21, 2022. It was the seventeenth invitation-only championships for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the twelfth for players of the Pokémon video games, the fifth for players of Pokkén Tournament and the first for players of Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE. This was the second time the Pokémon World Championships were held outside of the U.S. following the 2013 World Championships in Vancouver, Canada.
Invitations for the Trading Card Game and the video game events were awarded to players who accumulate enough Championship Points throughout the season. Invitations for Pokkén Tournament were awarded to the top placements at three International Championships and players from Japan. There were also Last Chance Qualifiers held for Pokkén Tournament.
These Championships were initially intended to be held at ExCeL London from August 14 to 16, 2020, but were canceled along with the 2020 Play! Pokémon Championship Series as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] Preliminarily moved to August 2021, the World Championships were finally moved to 2022.[3]
A pop up Pokémon Center was opened during the 2022 World Championships.[4] The theme song for these World Championships is "Claim Your Glory" by Popnick.
Trading Card Game Championships
The Pokémon Trading Card Game featured the 2021-22 Standard format, using all cards from Sword & Shield onward. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year, with the best of them receiving Day Two Invitations, or from the previous World Championships.
Day One of the tournament consisted of Swiss rounds for all players who didn't receive a Day Two invitation. Players with two or fewer losses and no ties advanced to Day Two. Day Two consisted of a new set of Swiss rounds not using the previous day's records and players could change decks between days. Players from this round with two or fewer losses and no ties were then seeded into a single-elimination tournament.
