Overview
The Portland Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the sixth Regional-level event of the 2024 season in the North American circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set F, and it is played using open team lists. It is the first event worldwide to use the new ruleset! The clause banning Dragon Cheer due to a bug in ver. 3.0.0 of Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet is in effect for this event.
A little bit of history
The United States has been part of the North America region of the official TPCi circuit since the very beginning, also being home to the TPCi headquarters. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships, all editions of the North America International Championships and most World Championships (only excluding 2013, 2022 and 2023). The United States’ greatest VGC success are the four World Championship wins achieved by Ray Rizzo (2010, 2011 and 2012) and Wolfe Glick (2016), not even counting being the home country of 6 Senior Division and 5 Junior Division World Champions too.
The most recent tournament held in the United States was the 2024 San Antonio Regional, played in the VGC Regulation Set E in December 2023. The finals saw American Giovanni Costa defeat 2023 NAIC finalist Raghav Malaviya to win his first Regional Championship title!
The last time there was an event in Oregon was the 2023 Portland Regional, played in the VGC Regulation Set C in May 2023. The finals saw 2019 Portland Regional Champion Joseph Ugarte defeat Chinese Ding Zishuo to win his second Regional Championship title!
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
