CGC Grades No. 4 Trainer from the 2025 Pokémon World Championships

Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) recently certified a No. 4 Trainer from the 2025 Pokémon World Championships event, an example of a just-issued rarity from one of the world’s most popular media franchises. It earned a grade of CGC Pristine 10 and is the only example in the CGC Cards Population Report.

The 2025 Pokémon World Championships took place in Anaheim, California, on August 15-17. Over the weekend, hundreds of thousands of Pokémon fans gathered to battle it out in a variety of Pokémon media platforms, including video games, Pokémon GO and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The Pokémon TCG Championships are split into three divisions: Junior, Senior and Masters. Each division recognizes the top 8 contenders, with each receiving prizes and recognition as the top of their leagues. The No. 1 through No. 4 winners of each league receive a numbered Trainer card featuring Pikachu, which has text that celebrates their victory and invites them back to next year’s World Championships event.
