If you’ve already squared away your Z-A Pokédex, caught all the Legendary Pokémon and wrangled every Mega Evolution, multiplayer, ranked battles are a great place to flex Pokémon muscle. But the season is open to all, with multiple ranks to cater to every player.

It’s certainly a great way to pass the time until the Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC comes out, that’s for sure! Hopefully, as we’re whittling away in ranked battles, Game Freak are able to address some of the “known issues” that have plagued Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

But, as for all things Pokémon Legends Z-A season 2, let’s get to it!

When is the Pokémon Legends Z-A season 2 release date?

Pokémon Legends Z-A Ranked Battles Season 2 brings about four-player real-time three-minute battles, where you can go head-to-head with other trainers from across the world.

Before hopping in, you need to create a Battle team by selecting three Pokémon from your Boxes and pressing X twice to cycle to your Battle Team. If you want any Pokémon in your party to compete, you will need to move them to your Boxes first by selecting one and pressing X.
