Overview
The Brisbane Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the first major event of the 2024 season in the Oceanian circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set E, and it is played using open team lists. It is the only major event in Oceania to feature this ruleset.
A little bit of history
Australia has been part of the Oceania region of the official TPCi circuit since they were established. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships and all editions of OCIC since its inception in 2017. Australia’s greatest VGC success is Nicholas Kan‘s 2017 Junior Division World Championship win, while in the Masters Division his brother Christopher Kan won the 2017 North America International Championships and Sam Pandelis reached that same year the finals at the 2017 World Championships.
The most recent tournament held in Australia was the 2023 Sydney Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set C in April 2023. The finals saw Australian Liam Gilbert defeat 2017 Worlds finalist Sam Pandelis to win his second Regional Championship title.
The last time there was an event in Brisbane was the 2022 Brisbane Regional, played in Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield with the VGC Series 12 ruleset in March 2022. The finals saw Australian Henry Rich defeat 2019 Worlds quarter-finalist Meaghan Rattle to win his first major title.
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
