The Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships have crowned a Masters Division champion every year since 2004, apart from 2020 and 2021. This page collects all 20 winning decks in one place, newest first, each one shown as the full 60 cards rather than a text list.
Every deck is closed by default. Open a year to see its Pokémon, Trainers and Energy with the count on each card, the printing each card came from, and a link through to that set's page in the archive. Click any card image for the full-size scan.
What is on this page
Masters Division champions only. Junior and Senior Division champions are crowned at every Worlds alongside the Masters title, and runner-up lists exist for most years, but neither is covered here yet. Video game World Championships teams are a different game and are out of scope. For host cities, venues and the video game champions, see the World Championships index.

Common questions
- Who has won the most Pokémon TCG World Championships?
- Jason Klaczynski, with three Masters Division titles in 2006, 2008 and 2013.
- Why is there no 2020 or 2021 deck?
- No World Championships were held in either year. Both were cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic, so the 2019 champion held the title until Worlds returned in London in 2022.
- What is a World Championships Deck?
- From 2004 to 2016 The Pokémon Company sold the top finishers' decks as products, each one a card-for-card replica of the list played. The deck names shown for those years — Magma Spirit, Queendom, Mewtrick and the rest — are the names those products carried. From 2017 onward the name shown is the community archetype name instead.
- Do the card images show the exact card the champion played?
- Where the source list records a set and number, yes, that printing is shown. Where it does not, the card is marked with a dagger (†) and a representative printing is shown in its place.
