The Ace Trainer Rewards program celebrates Trainers who participate in tournaments in Championship Point–earning regions, operating on a Championship Point (CP) threshold—meaning there is no limit to the number of players who can earn rewards. Today, we’re thrilled to share some exciting changes to eligibility and qualification for the 2026 Championship Series, plus details on the rewards Ace Trainers receive.

The Ace Trainer Rewards program is evolving, and players in the Latin America Rating Zone are now eligible to receive Ace Trainer Rewards! Any physical rewards earned by Trainers in the Latin America Rating Zone will be distributed in person at select Regional and/or Special Championships during the 2027 Championship Series. However, Trainers who earn Ace Trainer status during the 2026 Championship Series are eligible to receive all digital rewards, subject to regional eligibility and game age rating.

In the 2026 Championship Series season, Trainers in all eligible Rating Zones will need to earn 200 Championship Points for the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Pokémon GO to be eligible to qualify for Ace Trainer status. Remember, Championship Points do not accumulate across games and are nontransferable.

Ace Trainers who qualify will receive a Celebratory Fanfare card, which has been awarded as a promo card to Trainers in Asia since 2021. It often features artwork that celebrates the spirit of the season, and we’re excited to once again offer this previously exclusive card to eligible Ace Trainers.

In addition, qualifying Ace Trainers may be eligible to receive a suite of digital rewards depending on regional eligibility and game age rating. For 2026, digital rewards include the following:

• A set of exclusive Ace Trainer Rewards deck box and sleeves in Pokémon TCG Live

• A custom Play! Pokémon 2026 Ace Trainer Badge in the Play! Pokémon Access app

• A code to redeem the following items in Pokémon GO:

  • Elite Fast TM ×2

  • Elite Charged TM ×2

  • Fast TMs and Charged TMs

  • 100,000 Stardust

More rewards will be announced later, but we hope you’re already looking forward to the potential! Head to the Ace Trainer Rewards hub page for additional information, including full details about eligibility and qualification requirements.
