Overview
The Las Vegas Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the third Regional-level event of the 2026 season in the North American circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set H, and it is played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
The United States has been part of the North America region of the official TPCi circuit since the very beginning, also being home to the TPCi headquarters. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships, all editions of the North America International Championships and most World Championships (only excluding 2013, 2022 and 2023). The United States’ greatest VGC success are the five World Championship wins achieved by Ray Rizzo (2010, 2011 and 2012), Wolfe Glick (2016) and Giovanni Cischke (2025), not even counting being the home country of 7 Senior Division and 7 Junior Division World Champions too.
The most recent tournament held in the United States was the 2026 Milwaukee Regional, also played with the VGC Regulation Set H the previous month. The finals saw American player Alex Arand defeat 2024 LAIC quarterfinalist Joshua Lorcy to win his first Regional Championship title!
It is the first major VGC event ever held in the state of Nevada!
