Ranked Battles Season 16 is coming soon to the Z-A Battle Club! Put your skills to the test with this special season showing off Mega-Evolved Pokémon! Greninjite, Delphoxite, Chesnaughtite, Baxcalibrite, Sceptilite, Swampertite, and Blazikenite stones are returning as promotion rewards for Rank Y through Rank S, respectively. Useful items for training your Pokémon are waiting! You’ll be able to join the action by launching your game, pressing the X Button to open the main menu, selecting Link Play, and then selecting Ranked Battles. Rewards Overview Ranked Battles in the Z-A Battle Club offer three kinds of rewards. Battle rewards: You will be eligible to receive this kind of reward at the end of each battle, regardless of performance. Promotion rewards: You will be eligible to receive this kind of reward upon rising in rank. Season rewards: You will be eligible to obtain this kind of reward based on the rank you’ve reached at the end of each season. See below for this season’s promotion rewards and season rewards. Season Notes The Mega Stones obtainable as promotion rewards during this season are planned to be redistributed in future seasons. It is possible to have no more than one of each kind of Mega Stone. If you already have a certain kind of Mega Stone, you will be unable to receive another. Pokémon that Mega Evolve using Mega Stones obtained as Ranked Battles rewards do not count toward the completion of the Mega Evolution Pokédex. Your rank will not decrease during the season. When a new season begins, your rank will reset to Rank Z. After you reach a certain point in the story, Mega Shards can be traded at Quasartico Inc. in exchange for certain other Mega Stones.
