Compete in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Ranked Battles September Season
Earn in-game rewards by leading your strongest Pokémon against players from around the world.
September 01, 2020
The new season of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Ranked Battles has begun and will run throughout September 2020. Test your Trainer skills in head-to-head battles with players around the world, move up the global leaderboards, and earn helpful in-game rewards.
Only Pokémon obtained in Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield or those with the battle-ready symbol are eligible. Pokémon from previous games in the Pokémon series can receive the battle-ready symbol by speaking with the character next to the door in the center of the Battle Tower. Moves that cannot be used in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be forgotten when the battle-ready symbol is applied to your Pokémon. Once forgotten, these moves cannot be remembered.
The Ranked Battles September Season (Season 10) will follow the Series 6 regulations, which means the following top-ranked Pokémon from the July season (Season 8) are not permitted: Venusaur, Gyarados, Porygon2, Tyranitar, Torkoal, Hippowdon, Magnezone, Togekiss, Excadrill, Whimsicott, Incineroar, Mimikyu, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Indeedee, and Dragapult.
To start a Ranked Battle, follow these steps:
- Open the X menu.
- Select VS.
- Select Battle Stadium.
- Select Ranked Battles.
You can press the Y Button to see an overview of Ranked Battles before you begin your match.
