Overview

The Belo Horizonte Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the second Regional-level event of the 2026 season in the Latin American circuit.

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 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 Fortaleza Regional, played in the VGC Regulation Set G in March 2025. The finals saw first-year Masters player Bruno Rebello defeat 2024 NAIC semifinalist Yan Sym to win his first Regional Championship title in the Masters division!

It is the first major VGC event ever held in the state of Minas Gerais!
