For the first time ever, India will have a VGC circuit this season! TPC has published that the structure of the Pokémon Champions India Series for the 2027 season consists on the six Global Challenges (with the first being held this month), an additional online Qualifier, and the live India Series Grand Finals to be held in June 2027.
The Roster Ranch now features, alongside the Regular Roster M-C, a special selection of 32 Pokémon belonging to a list of some of the most used ones, celebrating the first Global Challenges in the 2027 season. This will be up until 28 September.
This online competition, held on 25–28 September 2026, grants Championship Points or invites to the PJCS Preliminaries or the PTC Preliminaries to the best players in TPCi rating zones, Japan and South Korea, respectively.
In order to be eligible for Championship Points from the Pokémon Champions online competitions, players must add their Support ID to their account, using the Play! Pokémon Access mobile app. This must be done by 15 October to receive CP from the Global Challenge I!
