The Latin America International Championships, or LAIC, is one of the three official TPCi International events for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO, alongside the Europe and North America Internationals. For VGC, it is the first Internationals of the 2025 season.

It is the sixth edition of LAIC. It has been celebrated yearly since the 2017 season, except in 2021, 2022 (both years due to the COVID-19 pandemics) and 2023 (held only for TCG and Pokémon GO). See the results of the previous editions:

The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set H, and it is played using open team lists.

A little bit of history

Brazil has been part of the Latin America region of the official TPCi circuit for many years. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regionals, Special Events and all editions of the Latin America International Championships. Brazil’s greatest VGC successes are the top 16 finish at the 2019 World Championships and the 2 International Championship second places achieved by Gabriel Agati, as well as another International Championship second place achieved by Thiago Lattanzi.

The most recent tournament held in Brazil was the 2025 Joinville Regional, played in the VGC Regulation Set H in September 2024. The finals saw 2-time International finalist Gabriel Agati defeat 2-time Regional Champion Sebastián Escalante to win his second Regional Championship title!

The last time there was an event in the State of São Paulo was the 2024 São Paulo Regional, played in the VGC Regulation Set F in April 2024. The finals saw Brazilian Cristhian Andrade defeat 5-time Regional Champion Riley Factura to win his first Regional Championship title!

The last time the Latin America International Championships were held was the 2024 edition, also hosted in São Paulo, Brazil, and played in the VGC Regulation Set E in November 2023. The finals saw 2020 OCIC Champion Marco Silva defeat Brazilian Thiago Lattanzi to win his record-tying second International Championship title!

American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
