Another big update for Pokemon Legends: ZA Just around the corner, Ranked Battles comes to an end with Season 10 May 13 at 7pm PT/10pm ET. In 10 seasons, Pokemon Legends: ZA Players are aware of how each season works, but they should be prepared for a reset in the upcoming Category Z.
For anyone just getting into the game, though, it's worth noting that Ranked Battle seasons typically last about three weeks. Pokemon Legends: ZA Ranked Battles Season 10 began on April 22, the night Season 9 ended, and the same can be expected for Season 11 on May 13. As one ends, another begins, and whoever is left must make sure they reach their goal. Season 11 will bring some changes either way.

It's officially the end of an era for Pokemon
The evolution of Pokemon games has changed permanently, and for all its pros and cons, it's unlikely to be a temporary state.

Meanwhile, players of course get rewards for every battle they participate in and can get some Mega Stones while at it. Anyone who participated in Ranked Battles prior to the latest season will already have most, if not all, of these, but they will certainly be available in Season 11. The exact line-up will be determined, but if Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 9 And if the Season 10 Mega Stones are any indication, it will likely be a repeat of the greninzite, delphoxite, chesnatite, baxcalibrite, septlite, swampertite, and blazikenite stones.
The biggest change in Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 11?
What could potentially be the biggest change Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 11 is meta. Maybe season 11 will be like a special meta/ranked fighting season Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 8, where players were very limited by which Pokémon could be entered. It is possible, but uncertain. Season 10 only banned 7 Pokemon from Ranked Battles: Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, some of which Pokemon Legends: ZAThe Mega Dimensions DLC. It would be nice to see the meta shake up a bit more, especially since ranked battles are pretty stale at this point. Between repeated rewards and an established meta, something like a more detailed ban list forces players to be more creative.

Overall, it remains to be seen. But between wrapping up Season 10, getting Rank A (or whatever rank you want), claiming those rewards, preparing/delving straight into Season 11, and/or preparing the team for the new season meta (hopefully), fans can expect a very busy May 13th. Until then, they've had time to step it up.
