The Pokémon World Tournament (Japanese: ポケモンワールドトーナメント Pokémon World Tournament), also known as the PWT, is a facility in Unova in Black 2 and White 2.

It is located to the south of Driftveil City, where the Cold Storage used to be in Pokémon Black and White. It is also connected to the Relic Passage and contains a harbor where one ship is perpetually docked. Prominent Trainers from previous games gather here to participate in battles in an eight-person single-elimination tournament. Single Battles, Double Battles, Triple Battles, and Rotation Battles are held here. Special Trainers can be downloaded via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It also contains the Move Reminder, Move Deleter, and several Move Tutors.

It was built by Clay to encourage development in Driftveil City. Tournaments are occasionally shown on television.

The Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup stadium in the anime

A tournament bearing the Pokémon World Tournament's name, called the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, was held in Lacunosa Town from Jostling for the Junior Cup! to Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!. The winner of the tournament was given the right to challenge Alder.

The actual Pokémon World Tournament was mentioned in Flash of the Titans!, where Lance was revealed to have won it.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Black 2 & White 2 chapter

The Pokémon World Tournament first appeared in Colress Machine. After exiting the Relic Passage, Blake arrived at the PWT building's construction site in his search of a mysterious cold air emanating from the abandoned Cold Storage. There, he found Zinzolin lying unconscious in front of the Cold Storage after being defeated by Colress.

The construction site reappeared in Deduction Time, where Leo and Hugh's sister also exited the Relic Passage there. They encountered Elesa upon arrival, and were soon also joined by Skyla and Looker. All five subsequently boarded Skyla's plane and headed to Undella Town.

Trivia

  • Iris is the only character to have been Champion at the time of the release of Black 2 and White 2 to be absent from the tournament, and one of only two Gym Leaders to be absent from it, the other being Koga.
    • Also, though Blue and Wallace have both been Gym Leaders, they do not take part in a Leader Tournament, instead taking part in the Champions Tournament.
  • All Gym Leaders use Pokémon with 20 individual values in each stat; Champions use Pokémon with 25 individual values.
  • All rental Pokémon in the Pokémon World Tournament have an ID number of 41122 and 20 individual values in each stat.
  • The Champions Tournament is the only tournament that does not play the track PWT決勝戦! PWT Final Battle! during its final match, playing the battle theme of the respective Champion instead.
  • Unlike other battle facilities, such as the Battle Frontier and Battle Subway, the Pokémon World Tournament is not streak-based, nor does it force the player to save their game at any point before, during, or after their challenge.
  • It is explicitly stated that the world's best Trainers gather at the Pokémon World Tournament; however, no members of any Elite Four appear except Lance (who has also been a Champion).
  • The in-game maps show the Pokémon World Tournament facility to be on the mainland of Unova. However, the facility is actually on an island.
  • If a Pokémon caught in the Cold Storage is traded to Black 2 or White 2, its status screen will say it was caught at the "PWT". This is due to the Cold Storage and the PWT being at the same codepoint (0x0024) on the location list.
