“W0RLD22V1CT0RY”

While several events were only available for 24 hours or less (by the time people pick up on the code), this thankfully has a few days of lead time. This distribution will run throughAugust 21 at 23:59 UTC, so you do have a bit to find your copy ofPokemon SwordandShield. That’s actually the day that the World Championship event ends.

We’ve been saying it for a little while now, but this could be one of the final distribution events forSwordandShieldas the door closes on that generation.ScarletandVioletwill take over later in 2022, and although there should be a few initialSwordandShielddistribution events, everything will cycle to the newest gen sometime in 2023.

If you’re interested in attending the event locally,there’s a 2022 Worlds registration page herethat has all the information you need. Competition registration is now closed as of August 17, but you can still attend the tournament if you want.
