{{reflist|group=Note|refs=

The [https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/championship-series/2025/regional-special-championships Pokémon Regional Championships] are the first level of major events, featuring larger attendance and Championship Point payout than in-store events.

From 2017 onwards, the US Nationals have effectively been superseded by the North American International Championships.

The [https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/championship-series/2025/international-championships Pokémon International Championships] are the top-level of competition in VGC Pokémon (apart from the annual Pokémon World Championship).

The Pokémon Players Cup events were a series of online-exclusive tournaments held in place of the regular competitive circuit, due to the cancellation of in-person events during the COVID-19 pandemic.
