A little bit of history
Online Competitions are usually a part of the casual gameplay, but they have been featured in the official circuit for some years now. They are one of the few tournaments in which all world regions play together, and it generally grants National invites in TPC regions and Championship Points in TPCi regions.
Those that are not part of the official circuits usually run a custom format. The last one of those was the Team Star Challenge, a single-battle Online Competition played in November 2024. The custom ruleset allowed for any PokĆ©mon featured on the teams of Team Star bosses (Giacomo, Mela, Atticus, Ortega, and Eri), and with the restriction that a Revavroom must be selected on every battle. First place was earned by Japanese player Okina, who usedĀ this team to finish at a rating of 1886. Okina surpassed fellow Japanese Yuchama, who usedĀ this other team to earn a rating of 1846.
The most recent Online Competition featuring double battlesĀ was theĀ Blueberry Prologue, played in January 2024. The custom ruleset allowed for any PokĆ©mon in the Blueberry PokĆ©dex. First place was earned by Japanese playerĀ Myon, who usedĀ this teamĀ to finish at a rating of 1905. Myon surpassed Japanese-AustralianĀ Masayoshi Kuroo, who usedĀ this other teamĀ to earn a rating of 1895.
AmericanĀ James Evans, theĀ 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated BrazilianĀ Gabriel AgatiĀ in the NAIC finals.
