The Vertress Conference (Japanese: ヒガキ大会 Higaki Conference) is the Unova League general championship competition.

Preliminary round
The preliminary round consists of one-on-one battles. All the 128 competitors are randomly matched up by a computer. The 64 winning Trainers move on to the qualifying rounds.
Qualifying rounds
The qualifying rounds are divided in three portions consisting of Single Battles. In the first two, the competing Trainers must use two Pokémon, while in the third portion they have to use three Pokémon. Trainers are knocked out of the tournament when all of their Pokémon are left unable to battle. The winning Trainers proceed to the final rounds.
