China Master's League
Starting from 2023, China began to hold their Master’s League Competition. These competition happen 4 times each year and are held in different cities. For most of these competitions, an official pin is released for participants and the general public. For speicific competitions there were also special quests to get other Pokémon pins.
Note: I believe Master League related pins are all “safety pins” (except the Rule Expert pins).
Important note:
Due to the packaging of many China event pins (usually with a sticker on the back of the packaging), it is hard to tell if the enamel pin is a “pin” or a “safety pin” back. I will update all the event pins on this page, but please note that some of them might have a “safety pin” back!! — I will do my best to specify the type if I’m certain.
