Pokemon TCG was a big winner in terms of downloads, ranking 5th in our chart. But it wasn't just downloads.

We ranked the highest-earning games in November and guess what - Poekmon TCG is up there too. Really up there.

Not that high though. Honor of Kings was the highest-earning game in the world in November. According to our App Intelligence, the China-only title, earned $120M of net revenue in November. A decent chunk lower than October, but the trend is very similar to last year so I don't find it surprising.

Pokemon TCG Pocket came in second with $113M of net revenue, that's what the Pokemon Company gets to keep after store fees, according to our estimates. It's worth noting that the title ranked second in the App Store and third in Google Play.

I expect nothing less from the Pokemon IP, but I'm not sure if it'll be able to hold on to its rank in December.

Royal Match, Whiteout Survival, and Monopoly Go round out the top five highest earning games in November. Each earned a bit less than October, but that's pretty much on trend.

Together, the top 10 highest earners brought in $849M of net revenue from the App Store and Google Play in November, according to our estimates. A bit less than October and a step away from the $1B the top 10 have been racing towards, but I suspect that will change in December.
