Side Events
Side events and spectator activities will be available for all attendees. An official 2025 EUIC event badge is required to participate in side events. You’ll find a variety of fun ways to play the Pokémon games you love as well as fun activities for Trainers of all experience levels. As you play, you’ll also earn tickets for the prize wall, which can be exchanged for various Pokémon items, including booster packs, Pokémon plush, and more! Give it your best and you may just go home with a cool memento from the 2025 Europe International Championships.
If you’re ready to go all in on one type in the Pokémon TCG, Gym Leader Challenge is the event for you! Trainers can only include one Pokémon type in their decks; Pokémon with a Rule Box (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc.) are banned; and players are limited to a single copy of each card name that’s included.
Looking to play Pokémon GO around the venue and show off your sweet catches? Pokémon GO scavenger hunts are a staple at live events and a fun way to collect prize wall tickets as you search for Pokémon that usually appear at Regional Championships and International Championships. It’s a great opportunity to catch some Carbink as well as other Pokémon that appear in competitive play!
And of course, there’s the Pokémon Video Game Championships (VGC) and Pokémon UNITE. Turn things topsy-turvy in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet with the Malamar Cup as you compete in VGC matches with your Nintendo Switch system held upside down. Gather with four other Trainers on Aeos Island in Pokémon UNITE’s Eevee Cup, where every player is only able to draft from Pokémon that evolve from Eevee.
