The has revealed a special promo card to celebrate the 2024 Pokémon World Championships. Colloquially known as Worlds, this is the premier annual event for competitive. This year's Worlds will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, the second time it's taken place in the state since 2012. Worlds is not only a competitive tournament, but also doubles as a yearly convention for all things — it recently revealed a line of beach-themed Pokémon Worlds merch to match.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the official account revealed a special-edition Pikachu promo card to celebrate Worlds 2024. It features a striking illustration of series mascots Pikachu and Mew, locked in a thrilling battle in a Honolulu-inspired arena. In the background, grassy hills can be seen rising above a reflective blue sea, separated only by a thin strip of white sand. The card is exclusively available from select retailers before and during the event — from August 2 to August 18 — and only then while supplies last.
The Pokémon Worlds promo card won't be exclusive to the event, so players won't have to travel to Honolulu to pick one up — but they certainly can. The card will be distributed as a gift with certain purchases at certain local and online retailers, including the Pokémon Center online shop. Remember, supplies are limited, and this card is likely to be in high demand, so anyone who wants one will need to move fast.
The first details about the Surging Sparks Pokémon TCG set have been revealed ahead of its release later this year. Here’s everything to know.
The Pikachu promo card will also be distributed as a participation prize for attending local Pokémon League Worlds Celebrations. Players can receive one by simply registering for and participating in certain local Pokémon League events during Worlds. However, these prizes will only be available in certain locations, and may also be subject to limited supply.
