Structure
The players that achieved the following results in the Pokémon Players Cup II Qualifier (a (a best-of-one challenge-format tournament held on 25–27 September under Series 5 rules) qualified for the Pokémon Players Cup II Regional Online Qualifiers:
- Top 256 European players
- Top 256 North American players
- Top 256 Latin American players
- Top 128 Oceanian players
Those players then competed in the Pokémon Players Cup II Region Qualifiers, a double-elimination best-of-three tournament with open teamsheets for each region (Europe, North America, Latin America and Oceania). The following players then qualified for the Global Finals:
- Top 4 players from the Europe Region Qualifier
- Top 4 players from the North America Region Qualifier
- Top 4 players from the Latin America Region Qualifier
- Top 4 players from the Oceania Region Qualifier
These sixteen qualified players competed in the Pokémon Players Cup II Global Finals, another double-elimination best-of-three tournament with open teamsheets to crown the Pokémon Players Cup II champion. Additionally, the Top 4 players of the Pokémon Players Cup II will receive a Travel Award for a future International Championship of their choosing.
Unfortunately, only fifteen players competed in the Global Finals since Yuya Tada, who had qualified through the Oceania spots, failed to verify their eligibility status.
