Trainers who want to be the very best can now compete for a spot in the first Pokemon GO Championship Series - coming in 2022.
Pokemon GO's Season 9 will be the biggest and most important one yet and we finally know why. Niantic recently announced that the Trainers' ranking at the end of this season carries so much weight because the first-ever Pokemon GO Championship Series is kicking off in 2022. Players all around the globe will get a chance to go into battle against the very best and earn an invitation to the 2022 Pokemon World Championships.
Pokemon GO Championship Series will be featured at select events (including Regional and International Championships) during its inaugural year. Trainers who manage to reach the top of the leaderboards at these events will be invited to the 2022 Pokemon World Championships, which will feature Senior and Master age divisions.

After this, Trainers of any rank are welcome to register for the remaining spots.
