Pokemon Legends: Z-A Ranked Season 11 Starts May 14

Ranked Battle Season 11 for Pokémon Legends: Z-A begins May 14 at 6 a.m. UTC and runs through June 4. The online four-player format is active worldwide and offers Mega Stones and other rank-based rewards.

Regional start times put the season on Wednesday night in North America (11 p.m. PDT / 12 a.m. MDT / 1 a.m. CDT / 2 a.m. EDT), at 7 a.m. BST in the UK and Ireland, at 8 a.m. CEST / 9 a.m. EEST across much of Europe, and in the afternoon or evening for parts of Asia and Oceania (3 p.m. JST / 2 p.m. AWST / 4 p.m. AEST).

Players earn Mega Stones by advancing through the standard ranking ladder. The Mega Stones available between Ranks Y and S in Season 11 include Greninjite, Delphoxite, Chesnaughtite, Baxcalibrite, Sceptilite, Swampertite and Blazikenite. Additional end-of-season rewards will be given to competitors who finish at higher ranks.

Eligible Pokémon for the season are limited to entries 001–232 in the Lumiose Pokédex and 001–132 in the Hyperspace Pokédex. Teams may include no more than one of the following legendaries: Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza. To equalize matches, all participating Pokémon are set to level 50 for battles.

Exclusive Mega Stone giveaways were halted in recent seasons; Season 11 reintroduces a set of previously available Mega Stones as rank rewards. Players currently competing in Season 10 have a short window to complete matches and improve their rank before Season 11 begins.
