The Pokémon World Tournament (Japanese: ポケモンワールドトーナメント Pokémon World Tournament), also known as the PWT, is a facility in Unova in Black 2 and White 2.

It is located to the south of Driftveil City, where the Cold Storage used to be in Pokémon Black and White. Prominent Trainers from previous games gather here to participate in battles in an eight person single-elimination tournament. Single Battles, Double Battles, Triple Battles, and Rotation Battles are held here. Special Trainers can be downloaded via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It also contains both the move relearner and Move Deleter, as they are no longer located at Mistralton City.

It was built by Clay to encourage development in Driftveil City.

"At last, the Driftveil Tournament! In this tournament, anything goes. Any Pokémon with any held item can participate. The winner will be rewarded with BP. Good luck!"

"Driftveil Tournament is a tournament where anything goes. You may use any Pokémon or held items of your choice. For these battles, all Pokémon will be set to Level 25. The winner will be rewarded with BP. Good luck!"

Unlocked when the Pokémon World Tournament is first visited, this tournament has many Trainers, with eighteen different competitors. The first time it is entered, only Hugh, Cheren, and Colress can be battled. All entries from the second onwards have different Trainers.

Rental

"Rental Tournament is a unique tournament where we prepare the Pokémon with which you will battle. Rental Pokémon will be randomly selected for you. So luck plays a big part! The winner will be rewarded with BP. Good luck!"

Three rental Pokémon will be chosen out of a choice of six. All Pokémon will be at level 50.

Mix

Main article: Mix Tournament

"Mix Tournament is a unique tournament where you and your opponent swap Pokémon before battling. You'll normally swap one Pokémon, but you'll swap two in Triple Battles. Swapped Pokémon will be returned after the battle, so don't be alarmed. For these battles, all Pokémon will be set to level 50. The winner will be rewarded with BP. Good luck!"

The opponents and their teams are the same as the ones from the Driftveil Tournament; however, Pokémon are set to level 50 instead. Additionally, Trainers will choose one Pokémon from each other's teams to be swapped before battle.

Trivia

  • Iris is the only character to have been Champion at the time of release to be absent from the tournament, and one of only two Gym Leaders to be absent from it, the other being Koga. Bianca is the only participant of Unova Leaders and World Leaders that isn't a Gym Leader.
  • All rental Pokémon in the Pokémon World Tournament have an ID number of 41122.
  • The Pokémon Champions Tournament is the only tournament that does not play the track PWT Final! during its final match, playing the battle theme of the respective Champion instead.
  • Unlike other battle facilities, such as the Battle Frontier and Battle Subway, the player is not forced to save their game at any point before, during or after their challenge.
  • The in-game maps show the Pokémon World Tournament facility to be on the mainland of Unova. However, the facility is actually on an island.
