Latios & Latias — Pokémon Regional Championships • Staff Playmat (2024)

This Staff Edition playmat was produced for the Pokémon Regional Championships as part of the Play! Pokémon Organized Play program during the 2024 competitive season. It was issued specifically to event staff and judges, and is clearly marked “Staff” on the playmat itself.

The artwork depicts Latios and Latias in dynamic flight above a sweeping ocean and island landscape. The composition emphasizes speed, motion, and scale, giving the scene a cinematic presence that aligns with high-profile competitive branding rather than card-focused illustration.

This illustration was created exclusively for Regional Championships branding. It does not appear on any known Pokémon TCG card, booster product, or promotional release, reinforcing its identity as a tournament-only visual.

Unlike location-specific trophies or city-branded playmats, this Staff version was used across multiple Regional Championships throughout the season. No single city or venue is referenced, making it representative of the broader Regional circuit rather than a single event.
