Overview
The Thailand 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 Thai circuit.
It is the first-ever Premier Ball League since it was introduced for the 2025 season in all of Asia. It is also the first major tournament held in Thailand not to be the National Championships.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set H, and it is played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
Thailand has been one of the regions hosting an the official TPC circuit since June 2020, and it was part of the Oceania region of the official TPCI circuit before that. Since the TPC takeover, it has taken part in Asia online tournaments, such as the Asia Players Cup, and has hosted National Championships since 2022. Thailand’s greatest VGC success is in the hands of 2-time National Champion Chaiyawat Traiwichcha. Additionally, Thai players have proven themselves as a major team force and they achieved victory at the 2022 World Cup of Pokémon VGC.
The most recent tournament held in Thailand was the 2024 Thailand National Championships, played in Bangkok with the VGC Regulation Set F in May 2024. The finals saw 2022 Thailand National Champion Chaiyawat Traiwichcha defeat 2022 Thailand National finalist Narawitch Naenna in a rematch of the 2022 finals to achieve his second National title!
