Championship Point, often referred as CP, is the basic unit of the system on which qualifications for Pokémon World Championships are based. Players are awarded based on their finish position or placement at individual official events, with larger events such as Regional Championships awarding more than smaller events such as League Challenge or Premier Challenge.

Championship Points differ from Play! Points, the other point system handled by Play! Pokémon, because they reward players for high placement at tournaments, not just for playing.

Each player may only receive Championship Points from a limited number of each type of event, known as the Best Finish Limit. Playing in more events than the Best Finish Limit cap, variable each year, result in only player's top performances registered and the rest discarded. When official tournaments with different Championship Point scales are included in the same Best Finish Limit (usually League Challenge are paired with League Cup or Premier Challenges paired with Midseason Showdown), the highest point totals are counted instead of the highest placements.

Also, Championships Points serve as a method to rank players within their region and within their age division. Players can earn travel awards and a bye into the second day of the Pokémon World Championships by collecting a given amount of Championship points throughout the season.

To earn Championships Points, each player needs a Pokémon Trainer Club account with an associated Play! Pokémon Player ID. Different tournaments reward different amounts of Championship Points.

Pokémon TCG Championship Points and Video Game Championship Points are considered separate, but each player can earn both throughout the same Championship Series season.
