Overview
The Turin Special Event is an official TPCI Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the sixth and last Regional-level event in the 2023 season in the European circuit, the fifth in Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet and, pending an announcement, very likely the second and last in the travel award race for the 2024 season’s first IC.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set C and it will be played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
Italy has been part of the Europe region of the official TPCI circuit for many years. It has hosted a few major events, including Regionals, Special Events and old-era National Championships. Italy’s greatest VGC success was Arash Ommati‘s 2013 World Championship win, the first one for an European player.
The most recent tournaments held in Italy was the 2022 Milan Special Event, played in the VGC Sword & Shield Series 12 ruleset in June 2022. 2019 Europe International Champion Flavio Del Pidio defeated fellow Italian Emanuele Ciliberto in the finals.
