Overview
The Taiwan Premier Ball League is an official TPC Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC. It is the only Regional-level event of the 2025 season in the Taiwanese circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set H, and it is played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
Taiwan has been one of the regions hosting the official TPC circuit since June 2020, and it was part of the Oceania region of the official TPCI circuit before that. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Leagues & Championships, Special Events, and both TPCI-era and current TPC-era National Championships. It was the only region in the world to consistently host major live events during the 2020–2022 seasons. Taiwan’s greatest VGC success was Wu Pi‘s 2019 Junior Division World Championship win.
The most recent tournament held in Taiwan was the 2024 Taiwan National Championships, played in the VGC Regulation Set G in June 2024. The finals saw 2022 Taiwan National Champion Chyr Wei defeat fellow countryman Yang Hao-Hsian to win his second National title!
