The Play! Pokémon Oceania Rating Zone is being updated for the 2021 Championship Series season. This Rating Zone will now comprise only the countries of Australia and New Zealand. Players from these two countries will continue to earn Championship Points and other account-based rewards for Oceania. Players affected by these changes should visit their localized Pokémon websites for details about future events.

Players who competed in the Oceania Rating Zone during the 2020 season and who earned enough Championship Points to qualify for the Pokémon World Championships will have their qualification honored at the 2021 Pokémon World Championships. They will not be eligible for Travel Awards through The Pokémon Company International’s Organized Play program.

The timing for the next live Play! Pokémon events will be determined by the health mandates, guidelines, and recommendations from appropriate government agencies to determine when the resumption of events and operations will be safe for our communities. Look forward to more details about the 2021 Championship Series season this August.
