A '''Pokémon League Champion''' (Japanese: '''リーグ{{tt|優勝者|ゆうしょうしゃ}}''' ''League Champion''), normally referred to as simply '''Champion''' or '''Pokémon Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion''), is the highest known level of rank for a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The title is also colloquially referred to as '''League Champ''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン リーグの ちょうてん''' ''Pokémon League's Greatest''). | A '''Pokémon League Champion''' (Japanese: '''リーグ{{tt|優勝者|ゆうしょうしゃ}}''' ''League Champion''), normally referred to as simply '''Champion''' or '''Pokémon Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion''), is the highest known level of rank for a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Champion is a [[Trainer class]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the title held by the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Pokémon Champion. Each Champion is always stronger than the Elite Four members and most other Trainers, and has a party of six Pokémon to test their opponents' strength. Like Elite Four members, they employ the use of strong healing items. To challenge the Champion, Trainers must defeat all four Elite Four members without leaving the Pokémon League area, and cannot access the Pokémon League [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]] until after defeating the Champion or losing at any point during the challenge. If a challenger is defeated by the Champion, just like the Elite Four, they must start over. | Champion is a [[Trainer class]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}.

Since in every [[core series]] game the player goes on to defeat the standing Champion, every [[player character]] is considered a Champion and subsequently entered into the [[Hall of Fame]], along with the player's [[party]].

However, for players in games other than Pokémon Sun and Moon, becoming the Champion is mostly a symbolic honor, as they are unable to battle challengers or take up any other league duties; the former Champion will still remain at the [[Pokémon League]], retaining the Trainer class Champion (in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, {{ga|Blue}} clearly stated his reign was over; in the [[Delta Episode]], [[Zinnia]] teases {{Steven}} that he is the former Champion). In games other than Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player may battle the Elite Four and the former Champion as many times as they like, and on each success will be re-entered into the Hall of Fame with whatever team was used in that challenge. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can instead battle the Elite Four then take a challenger, being able to do this as many times as they would like. | ||
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them. In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, which takes place 2 years later, all the Champions the player battles in previous games participate in the [[Champions Tournament]]. This tournament does not include player characters, with the exception of {{ga|Red}}. | In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them.

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there can only be one regional Champion at a time, although the case of the less conventional [[Orange League]] is unclear. While {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can freely request a battle from the Champion, much more popular events are the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, which can be entered by Trainers with at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. The winner of these tournaments may enter the Champion League to face off the regional [[Elite Four]] members and, if successful, the League Champion | In the [[Pokémon anime]], there can only be one regional Champion at a time, although the case of the less conventional [[Orange League]] is unclear.

In addition to gathering eight Gym Badges, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept Trainers passing the [[EP056|Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] and those graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]]. There are also smaller tournaments, such as the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where the winner gets to battle the League Champion straight away. [[Trip]] and {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} were allowed to battle [[Alder]] and [[Diantha]], respectively, by winning such competitions. | In addition to gathering eight Gym Badges, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept Trainers passing the [[EP056|Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] and those graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]].
