The 2026 Pokémon Indianapolis Regional Championships was the first official tournament outside of Asia to take place within Pokémon Champions. It featured 1,013 players battling for prize money and invites to the 2026 Pokémon World Championships, and was ultimately won by Arsal Puri alongside Mega Charizard Y and Mega Floette.
This tournament was also the first outside of Asia to use the Regulation Set M-A ruleset, allowing the use of certain Mega Evolutions and restricting teams to the 186 unique Pokémon species currently available in Pokémon Champions, of which a list can be found here. You can see the Top 64 from the tournament below, and tapping on the teams will show you each Pokémon's ability, held item, moves, and stat alignment. Any team or replica code shown below can be used in Pokémon Champions' online and offline events while Regulation Set M-A runs from 8 April to 17 June 2026.
