Get ready for an exciting challenge in the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battles Season 4! This season, from Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. PST to Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 5:59 p.m. PST, you'll have the chance to battle against players worldwide and climb the ranks. But here's the exciting part: you can earn Baxcalibrite, a special item that unlocks the power of Mega Baxcalibur! This rare item can't be obtained through regular gameplay, so make sure you don't miss out on this exclusive reward.
During Season 4, you'll compete in four-player, real-time online battles, testing your skills and strategy. As you progress, you'll earn points and rise through the ranks, starting from Rank Z and aiming for the ultimate Rank A. Trainers who reach Rank S will be rewarded with Baxcalibrite, a unique item that transforms Baxcalibur into its Mega form. Don't forget to aim for the Mega Stones (Chesnaughtite, Delphoxite, and Greninjite) too, as they're essential for Mega Evolving Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja, respectively. These Mega Stones are also available as promotion rewards, with Chesnaughtite earned at Rank U, Delphoxite at Rank W, and Greninjite at Rank Y.
Now, let's dive into the rewards you can expect. Ranked Battles offer three types of rewards: battle rewards, promotion rewards, and season rewards. Battle rewards are your post-battle treats, including useful training items like Mega Shards, which can be exchanged for Mega Stones. Promotion rewards are earned as you advance through the ranks, and season rewards are based on your final ranking at the season's end. The more you battle, the more you'll earn!
Here's a breakdown of the rewards for each rank:
- Rank A: Gold Bottle Cap ×3, Bottle Cap ×5, Seed of Mastery ×3, Big Nugget ×1
- Rank B to Rank E: Gold Bottle Cap ×2, Bottle Cap ×3, Seed of Mastery ×2, Nugget ×2
- Rank F to Rank I: Gold Bottle Cap ×1, Bottle Cap ×2, Seed of Mastery ×1, Nugget ×2
- Rank J to Rank M: Bottle Cap ×1, Seed of Mastery ×1, Nugget ×2
- Rank N to Rank R: Seed of Mastery ×1, Nugget ×1
- Rank S and Below: Nugget ×1
Now, let's talk about the eligible Pokémon for this season. You can register Pokémon from Lv. 1 to Lv. 100, but they'll all be set to Lv. 50 during battles. The Lumiose Pokédex (No. 001–227) and Hyperspace Pokédex (No. 001–112) are the ranges you'll be working with. Remember, no more than one Pokémon with the same Pokédex number can be used in a battle.
One important note: held items are allowed, but no duplicates are permitted. So, choose your items wisely!
