Pokémon GO League Challenge tournaments are competitive events held regularly at game stores that host Play! Pokémon events. It’s a great way to understand the fundamentals of battling in Pokémon GO, as well as the ideal place to test your skills in battle against other Pokémon GO players!

For the beginning of the 2024 season, Pokémon GO Challenges are available only to players in the North America rating zone. Players in other rating zones should stay tuned for more information on whether these events will become available in their local area.

Players must bring their own devices to compete; phones will not be provided by the Tournament Organizer for use.

In order to participate, players must have a Pokémon Trainer Club account, be in good standing in the Play! Pokémon program, and comply with any local regulations for in-store events.

Registration for these events is handled by the local Tournament Organizer of a Play! Pokémon Store, and an entry fee may be charged at their discretion. Some events may have special promotions. You can receive Prize Packs and sticker sheets just for participating in Pokémon League events. Check with your local Play! Pokémon retailer for availability and distribution.

Please check the Event Locator for details about each event, including information regarding registration.

Remember, while we frequently update our events schedule, we recommend that you contact the local Tournament Organizer to confirm event schedule information.
