Pokemon World Champion Puts 2022 Trophy Up for Sale at $400,000

Junglebook, the first world champion of Pokemon Unite, has put his 2022 World Championship trophy up for sale. He won the tournament with the North American team BLVKHVND and announced on X, along with photos of the trophy, that he is asking $400,000.

The player said the trophy is in like-new condition and that he was the only one to hold it, from the 2022 award ceremony onward. Junglebook noted that the price is not fixed, that he would accept trades instead of cash, and that he would consider "top-tier Pokemon slab" cards for this purpose.

The trophy features a design of Pikachu holding a small cup while standing on a Poke Ball. Before the sale, a thread containing the same images was opened on the PokeInvesting subforum. The thread asked users for their opinions on the trophy's value and how it should be sold. It is not known whether Junglebook opened this thread.

Previous Pokemon World Championship trophies have been sold, but none came close to this price. The trophy for the 2024 championship, held in Honolulu in May 2025, sold for $12,810 including fees after 22 bids at a Goldin auction. Junglebook's asking price of $400,000 is more than 30 times that amount. There is no guarantee that the trophy will sell for this price.
