Exhibition Centre Liverpool became the battleground for the 2016 UK Pokémon National Championships last weekend, seeing players compete to secure their place at the Pokémon World Championships.
The Pokémon Company International has now confirmed the top players that emerged victorious, and who, through their strategic thinking in battle, will continue on their road to become World Champion this August in San Francisco.
Players once again competed across Junior, Senior and Masters divisions in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Video Game and, for the first time, Pokkén Tournament.
The UK champions will now take on the rest of the world at the Pokémon World Championships, which will see them square off against competitors from America, Australia, Europe, Korea and Japan.
