The round 1 bye was also given to top finishers in the various Asian National Championships. This replaced the automatic Day 2 invitation players could earn in previous years.

The 2024 World Championships was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States on August 16-18, 2024. It was the nineteenth invitation-only world championships for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the fourteenth for players of the Pokémon video games, and the third for players of Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE. It was the sixteenth time the World Championships has been held in the U.S., and the fourth time the event has been held in Hawaii, having previously been held in Waikoloa Village in 2007, 2010 and 2012.

Trading Card Game Championships

The 2024-25 Standard format was used for the Pokémon TCG Championships, allowing all cards with regulation mark F or later. Players received invitations from gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year or from the previous World Championships. The top cut for some rating zones were able to go straight to Day Two: the Top 2 of the Middle East and South Africa, Top 4 of Oceania, Top 12 of Latin America, Top 16 of US and Canada, and Top 22 of Europe.

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. Players competed in a new set of Swiss rounds on Day Two until a Top 8 was determined. The Top 8 then had a single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

Junior Division

Shao Tong Yen was the defending champion but was eligible for the Senior Division. He was knocked out on Day Two with a record of 7/3/0.

Sakuya Ota became the new TCG Junior Division World Champion with a final record of 12/2/0.

Video Game Championships

Players in territories managed by The Pokémon Company International received invitations from either: gaining enough Championship Points throughout the year, winning a Regional Championship, winning a Special Event in Europe, or coming first or second at an International Championship. Players in Asian territories (managed by The Pokémon Company and Pokémon Korea) earned invites by placing well in their respective National Championships, which were qualified for via in-game Official Competitions via Battle Stadium. Additionally, the top 4 in each age division from the previous World Championships received an automatic invite.

Top Championship Point earners in the TPCi rating zones received a round 1 bye: the Top 4 of Oceania, Top 8 of Latin America, Top 12 of the US and Canada, and Top 16 of Europe. The round 1 bye was also given to top finishers in the various Asian National Championships. This replaced the automatic Day 2 invitation players could earn in previous years.

Day One was composed of Swiss rounds, with players earning enough match points moving on to Day Two. Players competed in a new set of Swiss rounds on Day Two until a Top 16 was determined. The Top 16 then had a single elimination bracket, with the finals taking place on Day Three. All games were best of three.

Matches took place in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and were all Double Battles. Levels for all Pokémon were adjusted to level 50 and no duplicate Pokémon or items were allowed. Battles used the Regulation G ruleset which allowed for every Pokémon available in Scarlet and Violet, except for Mythical Pokémon and Battle Bond Greninja, however players were restricted to one Special Pokémon per team.

Junior Division

Sora Ebisawa was the defending champion but did not attend Worlds.

Kevin Han, the Junior Division Champion at both the North American and European International Championships, became the new World Champion.
