It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships, theĀ 2017Ā andĀ 2018Ā Europe Internationals and even theĀ 2022 World Championships, the first one to be held in Europe. The United Kingdom’s greatest VGC success wasĀ Mark McQuillan‘sĀ 2015 Senior Division World ChampionshipĀ win.
The most recent tournament held in the United Kingdom was theĀ 2023 Liverpool Regionals, played in the VGC Regulation Set AĀ in January 2023. TheĀ finalsĀ saw AmericanĀ Luca PazĀ defeat SpaniardĀ Ćlex SotoĀ to achieve his first-ever major title.
The last time the Europe International Championships were held was the 2022 edition, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, and played in Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield with the VGC Series 12 ruleset in April 2022. The EUIC finals saw Spaniard Eric Rios, who had just won the 2022 Liverpool Regionals with the same team one month earlier, defeat Finn Oliver Eskolin to achieve the most important title of his career!
