- @SHADEviera - The 2015 World Champion
- @zeen172M - The 2023 World Champion

- @th80456732 - 2023 World Top 16
- @yanagiT_poke - 2023 World Top 16
- @BlueYossi - 2017 World Semi-finalist
This list consists of two World Champions. Between them, Shohei Kimura (@zeen172M) won the title only on August 13, 2023, in an epic battle against Michael Kelsch. The other one, Shoma Honami, clinched victory in 2015, defeating another Japanese player, Hideyuki Taida.
In the aftermath of the World Championships, this will be an interesting fight between players spanning generations of Pokemon. It will be fascinating to see how veterans use the new mechanics that Generation IX brings to the table.
This is especially riveting, considering Regulation D, the current ruleset of competitive play, allows the use of many classic Pocket Monsters such as the Forces of Nature, Cresselia, Heatran, Ursaluna, and so on.
Considering the biggest tournament of the year, Pokemon World Championships 2023, has concluded, one can expect some unique, off-meta teams as well as tactics being employed by these experienced competitors.
Wolfe Glick hosting the event means it will gather a lot of viewers, given his popularity and charm. Interested readers can tune into Glick's Twitch channel at 9 pm PT (previous day) / 6 am CEST / 9:30 am IST / 1 pm JST.
