The day after the ceremonial torch has been lit, in some of the regional Leagues the qualifying rounds begin so as to weed out Trainers who have gotten the required eight Badges, but are not yet skilled enough to continue, and those who survive move on to the preliminary rounds. In other regional Leagues, instead, the preliminary rounds will begin right away, and will continue for several days until the top sixteen Trainers have been decided. At this point, there is a short break in the competition so that the Trainers and their Pokémon may rest, followed by the start of the final rounds.

In the final rounds, most, if not all, battles are [[Full Battle]]s. All battles are conducted in the main stadium, and Trainers move up the tournament tree in {{wp|single-elimination tournament|single-elimination style}}. The winning contestant matchups are shuffled between rounds, as opposed to using traditional ladder seeding. The winning Trainer, upon defeat of their opponent, is awarded a trophy and earns the right to enter the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} to officially challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} of that region.

In [[Alola]], due to the lack of Gyms in the region and the fact that its Pokémon League was only recently established, no specific conditions need to be met in order to enter its League Conference, and its winner will directly become the first-ever Champion of Alola.
In [[Alola]], due to the lack of Gyms in the region and the fact that its Pokémon League was only established recently, no specific conditions need to be met in order to enter its League Conference, and its winner was directly declared as the first-ever Champion of Alola. The newly-crowned Champion subsequently faced the League's founder, {{an|Professor Kukui}} (originally intended to appear as the Masked Royal), in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}.


Most Leagues use various types of fields during Pokémon battles. While the Vertress and Manalo Conferences uses only a standard dirt battlefield, every other Conference has held battles on various different battlefields, like icy, rocky, forested, grassy, and water to name a few. A standard rule for the Conferences with a myriad of battlefields, is that during the Full Battle stage in the tournament, once one side loses three Pokémon, there is a short break, during which a field change occurs.

In [[Galar]], no League Conference is presented due to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' focusing on the [[World Coronation Series]]. The Conference's place is instead taken by the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], and the exact details of Galar's League structure are left vague, though {{an|Leon}}'s [[JN012|introduction]] indicates them being similar to the games.
In [[Paldea]], the structure of the Pokémon League is indicated to be similar to the games, as [[Nemona]]'s [[HZ010|introduction]] reveals that she has passed the Champion Assessment to become a Champion.
