We’re fast approaching the 2026 Pokémon North America International Champions (NAIC), where some of the top players from around the world will battle in New Orleans, Louisiana, to reach the top. Before the action begins, though, we’re taking a look at some of the cards that are likely to make an impact during the competition. Our panel of experts—Tord Reklev, Stéphane Ivanoff, Christopher Schemanske, Natalie Millar, and Ellis Longhurst—discuss the decks that are likely to stand out and provide their parting shots before we head into the event.
Let’s see what’s expected to hit big now that we’ve seen the Standard format rotation. NAIC takes place June 12 through 14, and you can watch all the action live on Twitch, Pokemon.com/Broadcasts, and YouTube.
