It will run from now until 4th November 2025, and gives trainers who reach &#8216;Rank K&#8217; a special reward of <strong>Greninjite<\/strong>. This item can be used to Mega Evolve Greninja into Mega Greninja, and &#8220;can&#8217;t be obtained through normal gameplay&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The official Pok\u00e9mon website further explains the three types of rewards for Ranked Battles. You&#8217;ll get rewards at the end of the battle (regardless of your performance), and promotion rewards are gained when you advance to the next rank (this includes items for training such as Mega Shards). The last type of reward is a seasonal reward, which is based on your ranking at the end of a season.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the full rundown of first season of Ranked Battles, including eligible Pok\u00e9mon, how to start a ranked battle, and how to receive rewards:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eligible Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eligible Pok\u00e9mon for Ranked Battles Season 1 include Lumiose Pok\u00e9dex No. 001\u2013227.
