Overview
The Toronto Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the fourth major event of the 2024 season in the North American circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set E, and it is played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
Canada has been part of the North America region of the official TPCI circuit since the introduction of continental regions. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, one old-era National Championships and the 2013 World Championships. Canada’s greatest VGC successes are the National Championship title won in 2012 by Tony Cheung, the first and only Nationals held locally; and the Top 8 result in the 2023 World Championships achieved by Abdullah Mohayyuddin. With a second place for Team Canada in the 2022 World Cup, Canadian players are looking bright at their next challenges!
The most recent tournament held in Canada was the 2023 Vancouver Regionals, played with the VGC Regulation Set B in March 2023. The finals saw newcomer player Abdullah Mohayyuddin defeat fellow Canadian Ryan Loseto to win the Regional in his very first event!
The last time there was an event in Ontario was the 2019 Toronto Regional, held in Brampton, played in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon with the VGC19 Moon Series ruleset in March 2019. The finals saw American Stephen Mea defeat 2018 Oceania International Champion Alessio Yuri Boschetto to win his first major title!
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
