Pokémon Champions League VGC June

Bo3 Doubles • Swiss + Top Cut • 64 Player Cap

Welcome to the Pokémon Champions VGC Open, a competitive doubles tournament designed with Asian and Oceanic players in mind.

Many community tournaments are hosted around North American or European schedules, making participation difficult for players from Asia-Pacific regions. This event aims to provide a competitive experience at a more accessible regional time while welcoming players from all regions.

Whether you're a longtime VGC competitor, a newcomer to Pokémon Champions, or a mobile player looking to enter your first tournament, this event is open to everyone.
