What this is
A check of one news site's figures for the top three Pokémon UNITE team prizes at the 2026 World Championships against the official table: both give $220,000 ($100,000 + $70,000 + $50,000).
How it’s built
- The official prize table was added up by place: 1st $100,000, 2nd $70,000, two at $50,000, four at $37,500 and eight at $10,000, which comes to the stated $500,000.
- Alternates' prizes ($25,000 in all) are listed separately; each individual prize is a fifth of the team prize, so teams have five players.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
100,000 + 70,000 + 2 × 50,000 + 4 × 37,500 + 8 × 10,000 = 500,000, matching the stated total.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:
Show the working
- A tier top3 team $: 220,000
- LevelUp top3 $: 220,000
- Match: yes
- Table sum team $: 500,000
- Stated total $: 500,000
- Sum check: yes
- 100,000+70,000+50,000=220000 vs 220,000 (match)
- 100,000+70,000+2x50,000+4x37,500+8x10,000=500000=stated 500,000
- alternates 5,000+3,500+2x2,500+4x1,875+8x500=25000 (separate from team total)
- individual = team x 0.2 on all four tables, i.e
- 5-player teams
