Fans attending the 2026 Pokémon Europe International Championships will be able to get their hands on Pokémon Pokopia, the upcoming life simulation game where players control a Ditto and utilize a variety of other helpful allies to reshape an island.
Using a human-transformed Ditto, you'll be able to command all kinds of Pokémon to create your perfect cozy island, similar to Animal Crossing. Ditto can also learn moves from other Pokémon they befriend, adding a neat sense of progression.
The Pokémon Europe International Championships (EUIC) are the second Championships event of the 2026 Championship Series season, featuring competitions for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE.

It's bound to be an exciting 2026 for Pokémon fans, hot off the heels of Pokémon Legends Z-A. Beyond Pokopia, it's expected that Gen 10 launches at some point during 2026 to coincide with the franchise's 30th Anniversary.
