Hold onto your Poké Balls, folks! A brand-new showdown is brewing in the world of Pokémon, specifically in Pokémon Legends Z-A, where trainers are about to embark on a journey filled with epic battles and the sort of rewards that might even tempt a Snorlax to wake from its slumber.
The curtain has officially risen on Season One of Ranked Battles, and for those who are wondering, yes, it features the spectacular debut of the mega-cool, mega-slick Mega Greninja. This glorious season will span until November 5, providing ample time for trainers to fight valiantly and—or just as likely—get steamrolled by someone who has their Battle Strategy PowerPoint presentation memorized.
Exclusive Rewards Await!
Buckle up, as fab Poké Balls are just the tip of the iceberg! This season blesses trainers with rare training items that seem more elusive than a shiny Pokémon on a rainy Tuesday. Prime amongst these prized possessions is the ever-coveted Gold Bottle Cap. Yes, the kind that makes even your most lackluster Pokémon look like it just rolled out of the beauty salon.
So, in case the idea of battling with friends and rivals doesn’t float the boat, the tantalizing thought of snagging unique end-of-season rewards should do the trick. Here’s the rundown of those delightful goodies tailor-made for competitiveness (or, let’s be honest, sheer bragging rights).
The Grand Path to Mega Greninja
Oh, and for those dreaming of acquiring the elusive Mega Greninja, there’s a little catch—like a surprise final exam in a class nobody studied for. To unlock this aquatic ninja star, trainers must conquer their way to Rank K. This involves a delightful mix of anywhere between 6 to 10 intense matches, depending on a variety of factors, including luck, skill, or possibly just the color of one’s socks. No pressure, right?
How Many Rewards per Rank? Let’s Break It Down!
Now, onto the thrilling aspect of the event: the rewards! Here’s how the ranking system unfolds like an elaborate game of musical chairs:

Trainers achieving the high-flying Rank S get to bask in the glory of a single, modest reward. Yes, one! It’s kind of like winning a participation trophy at a Pokémon tournament.
