May 13th is going to be a very busy day for Pokemon Legends: ZA

Another big update for Pokemon Legends: ZA is just around the corner and comes as Season 10 of Ranked Battles draws to a close May 13 at 7pm PT/10pm ET. 10 seasons in Pokemon Legends: ZA Players are no doubt aware of how each season works, but they should be prepared for the upcoming reset back to Rank Z.

However, for anyone just diving into the game, it's worth noting that Ranked Battle Seasons typically last around three weeks. Pokemon Legends: ZA Rated Battles Season 10 began on April 22, the same night Season 9 ended, and the same can be expected from Season 11 on May 13. As one ends, the other begins, and anyone who hasn't yet reached their goals should make sure they do. Season 11 will bring some changes both ways.

It's officially the end of an era of Pokemon

The evolution of Pokemon games has changed permanently, and for all its pros and cons, it's unlikely to be a temporary situation.

Meanwhile, players are of course rewarded for each battle they participate in and can earn some Mega Stones in the process. Anyone who participated in ranked battles prior to the last season will already have most, if not all, but they will no doubt be available in Season 11. The exact lineup will be finalized, but if Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 9 and the Season 10 Mega Stones indicate that it will likely be a repeat of Greninjite, Delphoxite, Chesnaughtite, Baxcalibrite, Sceptilite, Swampertit, and Blazikenite.

The biggest change in Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 11?

Which could potentially represent the biggest change Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 11 is meta. Maybe season 11 will be a special meta/ranked battles season like season Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 8 where players were more limited in which Pokémon could be entered. It is possible but uncertain. Season 10 only banned 7 Pokémon from ranked battles: Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, some of which are from Pokemon Legends: ZAMega Dimensions DLC. It would be nice to see the meta shake up a bit more, especially since ranked battles are pretty dated at this point. Between the recurring rewards and the established meta, something like an exhaustive ban list would force players to be more creative.

Overall, it remains to be seen. But between wrapping up Season 10, reaching A rank (or whatever rank you want), picking up those rewards, preparing/diving right into Season 11, and/or getting your team ready for the new season meta (hopefully), fans can expect a very busy May 13th. Until then, they have time to get ahead and wrap it up.
