A little bit of history
MexicoĀ 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, Regional Championships and old-era National Championships. Mexico’s greatest VGC successes are the ninth place reached by Genaro Vallejo at the 2015 World Championships and the third place reached byĀ CĆ©sar ReyesĀ in the 2017 North America International Championships.
The most recent tournament held in Mexico was the 2026 Querétaro Regional Championships, played with Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet in the VGC Regulation Set I in April 2026. The finals saw 2026 Monterrey Regional finalist Alexander Canseco defeat fellow Mexican player Otoniel Longorio to win his first Regional title!
