Pokémon GO players in Europe can now take part in Organized Play–sanctioned events at local retailers. Like the Pokémon Trading Card Game events already taking place at these locations, Pokémon GO events offer Trainers opportunities to meet other members of the community, develop skills, and win prizes and Travel Awards.
Pokémon GO League Challenges are competitions held regularly at game stores that host Play! Pokémon events. These are small, entry-level tournaments on a local scale that are a great way to learn the fundamentals of battling in Pokémon GO while testing your skills against other Pokémon GO players. Pokémon GO League Cups are more robust tournaments held regularly at the same locations as GO League Challenges. Pokémon GO League Cups give Trainers an opportunity to earn Championship Points and practice their skills for larger competitions.
