The Pokemon Company has officially unveiled new details for the upcoming Ranked Battle Season 2 in Pokemon Legends Z-A, one of the most anticipated entries in the ongoing franchise for the Nintendo Switch.
Following the title’s debut on the eShop, Pokemon Legends Z-A has continued to set the standard for competitive play within the community, and this latest season is poised to build upon that momentum with fresh challenges and unique in-game rewards. Ranked Battle Season 2 is set to commence on November 27, 2025 and will conclude on December 18, 2025.
Throughout this competitive window, trainers will be able to participate in ranked battles and strive to climb the season’s ladder, unlocking coveted Mega Stones and exclusive performance-based prizes. Mega Evolution enthusiasts will be able to secure a number of rare Mega Stones by reaching specific ranks this season.
According to The Pokemon Company, players who achieve Rank Y will earn the powerful Greninjite, while trainers at Rank V can obtain Delphoxite.
A fresh addition this season, Chesnaughtite, will be awarded to those who reach Rank S, marking its first appearance as a reward in Pokemon Legends Z-A Ranked Battles. Additionally, every player who attains Rank E or higher before the season’s end will receive Safari Balls—a sought-after item that further incentivizes engagement in competitive play on the Nintendo Switch platform.
This move continues The Pokemon Company’s tradition of rewarding player dedication while ensuring accessibility for participants of all skill levels. In a significant update to the competitive ecosystem, Season 2 will now permit the inclusion of Zygarde in official matches.
For the first time, all Pokémon available in the base version of Pokemon Legends Z-A will be eligible for selection in Ranked Battles.
However, it’s important to note that any Mega Evolutions introduced through the Mega Dimension DLC will remain restricted from competitive play during this season. The Pokemon Company emphasized its ongoing commitment to creating a balanced and engaging ranked experience, ensuring that new and veteran trainers alike can compete on a level playing field.
"We are dedicated to providing rewarding competitive opportunities while maintaining a fair and exciting environment for all players," a company spokesperson summarized, spotlighting the importance of transparent rules and valuable rewards in the ongoing support of Pokemon Legends Z-A. As the countdown begins to Ranked Battle Season 2’s opening day, Pokemon Legends Z-A continues to demonstrate its status as a premier title on the Nintendo Switch, with developer-led updates sustaining enthusiasm across the global competitive community.
For those eager to maximize their performance and claim exclusive Mega Stones or Safari Balls, November 27 marks a pivotal start to another intense season in the world of Pokémon.
