Overview
The Indonesia Premier Ball League is an official TPC Regional-level event for players in Indonesia, where TPC is responsible for the circuit since 2020. It is the first Regional-level tournament in the 2027 season globally, and the only one in the Indonesian circuit before the Master Ball League at the end of the season.
For the first time ever, given Nintendo does not operate in Indonesia, the mobile app of Pokémon Champions is the only platform allowed in this tournament.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set M-B, despite the tournament being held at a time when the in-game ruleset is M-C, and it is played using open team lists.
The timer rules are modified in this tournament: it’s 15 minutes overall for each game.
A little bit of history
Indonesia has been one of the regions of the official TPC circuit since June 2020, and it was part of the Oceania region of the official TPCI circuit before that. However, since the TPC takeover, it has never held any major tournament so far, as Nintendo does not operate in the country. Indonesia’s greatest VGC success is in the hands of 2018 Melbourne Regional Champion Guntur Prabowo, the only Indonesian player to earn a major title.
It is the first major VGC event ever held in Indonesia!
