REJECT Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shoya Koyama), the operator of the esports team 'REJECT', announces that its Pokémon UNITE division will participate in the 'Pokémon Japan Championships 2026', which will be held from Saturday, June 6, 2026.

The 'Pokémon Japan Championships 2026' is an official domestic tournament that determines the number one player in Japan across four categories: the 'Pokémon' video game series, the Trading Card Game, 'Pokémon GO', and 'Pokémon UNITE'.

Top finishers in each category will receive trophies and other prizes, as well as qualification for the world tournament, the 'Pokémon World Championships 2026' (hereafter 'Pokémon UNITE WCS').
