The top competitors from around the world will be competing in games like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite, and the TCG.

At the time of writing, it’s unclear just how much these two commemorative coin sets will cost, but judging by the build quality and presentation, they likely won’t be cheap.
This isn’t the first time that Pokemon has launched exclusive merch only available to those who attended Worlds. Unfortunately, fans who miss out may have to contend with scalpers later on similar to the limited Beefeater Pikachu plush from Worlds 2022.
It’s also unclear just how fast these commemorative coin sets will sell out at the Yokohama venue itself, so fans attending Worlds 2023 who want to purchase this coin set for themselves should do so as soon as possible.
