Pokemon Legends ZA ranked season 2 is almost over, and we all had our fun time in it, climbing from Rank Z to Rank A. As we started preparing for the upcoming season, Pokemon Company dropped more information about their next ranked battles.
Ranked season 3 will begin right after Ranked Season 2 ends. This will be a perfect opportunity for players to sharpen their battle skills and obtain some exclusive rewards. If you are going to participate, then we have all the information that you need.
Pokemon Legends ZA Ranked Season 3 Start and End Date

All Eligible Pokemon for Season 3
All the eligible Pokemon for ranked season 3 include ones from Lumiose Pokedex No. 001–231. You can register a Pokemon of any level from Lv. 1 to Lv. 100. However, their level will automatically be set to 50 during battles. This means that if you register a level 70 Pikachu, it will be reset to level 50 during the battle. Regional forms are also allowed, but only one of the same species can be used. Mega Evolved Pokemon are also allowed.
All Pokemon Legends ZA Ranked Season 3 Rewards
There are three different types of rewards in season 3:
- Battle rewards: These are given at the end of each battle and aren’t determined by how you performed.
- Promotion rewards: They are given when you reach the next rank, and these can include items like Mega Shards.
- End of the season rewards: These are given out depending on which rank you are when a season ends.
Battle Rewards
Battle rewards are given out to all the players who participated in a ranked match at the end of each battle. The reward you are given isn’t determined if you won or lost or how you performed. Here are some of the battle rewards that you can get:
- Mega Shards
- Pearls
- Big Pearls
- Heavy Balls
- Rare Candies
- EXP Candies
Promotion Rewards
Promotion rewards are given out when you advance to the next rank. Players who participate in season 3 ranked battles will get the following Mega Stones, after being promoted to certain ranks:
- Chesnaughtite: Rank S (Used to Mega Evolve Chesnaught)
- Delphoxite: Rank V (Used to Mega Evolve Delphox)
- Greninjite: Rank Y (Used to Mega Evolve Greninja)
The Mega Stones cannot be obtained from normal gameplay, so make sure that you don’t miss out on them. If you missed the previous ranked seasons, then season 3 can be a golden opportunity to claim the Mega Stones that were rewarded in the past.
