Pokémon Unite: India Qualifier for 2025 World Championship Series Announced

After the Winter Tournament, the road to Anaheim is officially open, and for Indian Pokémon Unite teams, the stakes have never been higher. The Pokémon Company and Skyesports have announced the India Qualifier for the Pokémon Unite World Championship Series 2025, offering not only a massive $37,500 prize pool but also the chance to represent India on the global stage later this year in the United States.

Registrations for the India Qualifiers are now live and will remain open until April 4th. The qualifier kicks off on April 5th with a single-elimination bracket. From there, the top eight teams will advance to the Playoffs on April 6th, where the format shifts to a double-elimination bracket, giving squads a second shot even after a loss.

Every match will follow a best-of-three structure, ensuring each team has the chance to adapt and outplay their opponents. It all unfolds pretty fast, which means exhilarating battles are guaranteed. But with stakes as high as this, careful strategic planning will be absolutely essential.

That’s because the winning team won’t just walk away with a large share of the prize money—they’ll also claim the honor of representing India at the Pokémon Unite World Championship 2025 in Anaheim, California. It’s where the best of the best from around the world will battle it out for the ultimate title and a share of the global $500,000 prize pool.

Speaking about this tournament, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, said: "After the immense success of the ACL India League 2025, which garnered more than 1.3 million views, we are proud to bring the Pokémon Unite WCS 2025 India Qualifier to our players. This tournament reaffirms our commitment to nurturing grassroots esports talent and providing a clear path to international glory. I wish the best of luck to all the participants."
