The September Season of Pokémon Sword and Shield Ranked Battles is now underway. Read on below to learn more:
Climb the leaderboards as autumn begins in the next Ranked Battle Season, now underway.
The next Ranked Battles season is under way, giving Trainers another chance to test their battling skills. The leaderboards reset every month, so now’s the perfect time to jump in. The Ranked Battles September 2021 Season (Season 22) will continue to follow the Series 10 regulations, which means you can battle with one powerful, usually ineligible Legendary Pokémon at your side. See the full list of these Pokémon below.
Battle head-to-head against players around the world, move up the global leaderboards, and earn helpful in-game rewards throughout the month!
Only Pokémon obtained in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield or those with the battle-ready symbol are eligible. Pokémon from previous games in the Pokémon series can receive the battle-ready symbol from the character next to the door in the center of the Battle Tower. When the battle-ready symbol is applied to your Pokémon, your Pokémon will forget the moves it knows. If your Pokémon forgets moves that it cannot use or learn in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, those moves cannot be relearned.
Only one of the following special Pokémon may be registered to your Battle Team: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, or Calyrex.
