The Best Pokken Tournament DX Player In The World Will Take Home 6000 Dollars

Ever wondered how much competitive Pokken Tournament DX players make? The Pokemon Company has just revealed the answer.

Since 2016, The Pokemon Company has organized competitive tournaments for Pokken Tournament every year. 2018 will be no different, with Pokken Tournament DX becoming the game where players fight it out instead.

To determine who enters the Pokemon World Championships, Pokken Tournament DX qualifiers are held in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan before August 2018. Top players from each region will receive an invitation (with flight and hotel all paid for) to compete in the Pokemon World Championships in August.
