The Pokemon Company has released a new app for competitive players called Play! Pokemon Access.

Play! Pokemon Access is a free app for iOS and Android created for competitive players of the Pokemon video games, Pokemon TCG, and Pokemon GO. It allows players to search for upcoming competitive events, receive in-app badges, and more.

You can download the app for free here: iOS / Android

The Play! Pokémon program brings Trainers of all skill levels together at their local Play! Pokémon Stores, where battles are fought, friendships are forged, prizes are won, and—most importantly—fun is had by all. Play! Pokémon Access makes it easier than ever for Trainers to stay connected.

Whether you’re a player, Professor, or parent, Play! Pokémon Access puts you on the path to discovering new events happening in your area. Plus, it provides tools to make starting your Pokémon journey a breeze—you can search for tournaments for the Pokémon video games, Pokémon Trading Card Game, and Pokémon GO.
