Ranked Battles Seasons in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

This is a chronological list of all Ranked Battles Seasons in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Competitive seasons generally start at 06:00 UTC on the first date and end at 01:59 UTC on the end date, with the exception of Season 1 and 2 which ended at 05:59 UTC.

The Z-A Battle Club is not part of the standard VGC circuit, as such the game is not represented in global competitive play, and no regulation sets are issued. Instead each Season uses a custom ruleset that is season specific which may include lineup restrictions or limits on Mega Evolution.

Obtaining the seasons rewards required participation in at least one ranked battle of that season.

Rulesets

Unlike games used in Video Game Championship circuits; there are no Regulation Sets for Ranked Battles Seasons in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Instead each season runs a specific ruleset where different Pokémon are eligible, as well as regulations around restricted Pokémon Changing. Pokémon in the Hyperspace Pokédex were universally ineligble in Seasons 1, 2 and 3.

Editorial note: Unlike in other games, individual rulesets in Pokémon Legends: Z-A do not have any official names or designators, however they have been numbered in this article for ease of cross reference and identification.

Common rules

In all Ranked Battles Seasons thus far, the following rules apply:

• Teams are made up of 3 Pokémon, of which no two Pokémon may be of the same species (this includes forms, meaning a Galarian Stunfisk cannot be on the same team as a regular Stunfisk as an example).
• Held items are permitted however no item may be used twice on the same team.
• Pokémon may enter at any level but will automatically be set to level 50 for competition purposes.
• Battles are set to last 3 minutes.

Special rules

In addition to the common rules outlined above some rulesets have special rules unique to them. Seasons that use such ruleset typically are shown with red artwork instead of blue artwork.

• • Ruleset 8 only permits Mega Stones to be used as held items.
  • Ruleset 10 only permits Flying-type Pokémon listed in the eligibility tables below.
