What this is
A floor on all cash prizes stated for the 2026 Pokémon championship season: about $7.5–10.6m once the UNITE regional leagues are included, or $6.4–9.5m without UNITE, the basis for comparing with 2027.
How it’s built
- An earlier floor of $7.0–10.0m counted Worlds, four international championships and the Regionals, but left out UNITE's regional leagues ($0.48m).
- Adding those, and UNITE's international pools where they might be missing, gives $7.48–10.605m.
- Removing UNITE's whole series ($1.105m) gives the without-UNITE floor.
What we assumed
- Stated pools are 'over' figures, so these are floors.The organiser gives minimums; actual payouts could be higher.
- UNITE may have no prize lines in 2027.This is a scenario for comparison, not an announcement.
Sanity check
UNITE is 10–15% of the corrected floor: 1.105 ÷ 10.605 and 1.105 ÷ 7.48. In yen at ¥140–155, the without-UNITE floor is about ¥0.9–1.5bn.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.

- D13 floor $ m: 7 to 10
- UNITE counted in D13 $ m: 0.5 to 0.625
- UNITE omitted from D13 $ m: 0.48 to 0.605
- Floor 2026 corrected $ m: 7.48 to 10.6
- UNITE series $ m: 1.11
- UNITE share of corrected floor: 10.4 to 14.8%
- low 7.0+0.48=7.480 (IC $0.5m includes UNITE)
- high 10.0+0.48+0.125=10.605 (excludes)
- ex-UNITE 7.480-1.105=6.375, 10.605-1.105=9.500
- UNITE 1.105/10.605..7.480 = 10.4-14.8%
- yen at 140/155
