Pokémon League

A Pokémon League is the top-level tournament of Pokémon Trainers who compete in Pokémon Battles toward beating increasingly higher-ranked Trainers. To enter, one must collect eight badges, one from each Gym in their regional area or in the case of Alola, complete the island challenge. Also, they are only allowed to use six Pokémon at a time. In the games, a Trainer works toward the goal of eventually battling the top victors, called the "Elite Four" and the Pokémon Champion.

There are nine known regional Leagues under the Pokémon League: the Indigo League in Kanto and  Johto, the Orange League in the Orange Archipelago, the Hoenn League in Hoenn, the Sinnoh League in Sinnoh, the Unova League in Unova, the Kalos League in Kalos, the Alola League in Alola and the Galar League in Galar.

In Galar, there are no Elite Four. Because of this, the Galar Pokémon League only have the Champion Cup, where a Trainers only battle the rivals, three of the eight Gym leaders, in the Semi-Finals and Finals receptively and battle the Champion in championship match.

In the anime, Trainers must participate in a Pokémon League Conference, where they battle one another in order to win.
