The B1 Ranked Season is now live! This ranked season will go on from November 27, 2025 until December 14, 2025.
This takes place after the Mega Rising Emblem Event.
Ranked Battles are a form of competitive play which will allow players to match their decks against others and climb the ranks to win their own special Emblem along with other tier rewards. Players that are Level 3 and above can access this feature under Versus Matches.
Five Ranks from Beginner to Master Ball
| Beginner | Poke Ball | Great Ball | Ultra Ball | Master Ball |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
There are five ranks, with four tiers within each rank. The player can earn points by winning, and their rank will increase when they reach the points required to climb to a higher rank.
Losing Can Demote Your Rank
Players from Beginner Rank 1 to Great Ball Rank 1 cannot lose points even when defeated. However, once they reach Great Ball Rank 2, it is possible to rank down after losing points upon defeat. This means players in the early stages of Ultra Ball Rank 2 can rank down to Ultra Ball Rank 1 after losing.
Matching Up With Bots
You may also encounter bots when playing Ranked Matches. These battles tend to be fairly easy, so the player can typically win no matter what deck they use.
Earning and Losing Points
No matter their rank, the player will earn a base amount of 10 points upon winning. They cannot lose points in Beginner Rank, but they will begin losing 5 points upon each loss upon entering Poke Ball rank, then 7 points for each loss in Ultra Ball rank.
In Master Ball Rank, a player loses 10 points after each loss.
Winstreaks Award Bonus Points
| Two Consecutive Wins | Three Consecutive Wins | Four Consecutive Wins | Five or More Consecutive WIns |
|---|---|---|---|
| +3 pts | + 6 pts | + 9 pts | + 12 pts |
The player can receive a Winstreak Bonus, which increases the amount of points the player earns depending on how many consecutive wins they have. The Winstreak Bonus is added on to the base amount of points after winning, so having three consecutive wins would give the player 16 points in total.
Ultra and Master Rank players will be able to receive winstreak rewards as well.
Rewards are Distributed at the End of the Season
The players can receive Special Tier Emblems and Pack Hourglasses. The emblem and amount of hourglasses received are determined by the rank of the player at the end of the season.
Rank Changes Between Seasons
These are Rank Changes between A2b and A3. This can be subject to change in the future.
Your rank at the beginning of the next season is based on your rank at the end of the current season. Players from Great Ball 1 Rank and below will have no changes in rank or tier. Players who have reached Great Ball 2 and above will rank down by one or two tiers.

Tips for Winning Ranked Matches
Use Meta Decks
 Mega Altaria ex Deck |
 Mega Altaria ex and Indeedee ex Deck |
 Mega Blaziken ex Deck |
 Mega Absol ex and Hydreigon Deck |
You can use powerful decks in order to increase your rank. You may use Mega Altaria ex Variants involving Jirachi, Chingling or Indeedee ex ex. The Mega Blaziken ex Deck is also good to use, as Mega Blaziken ex is a potent attacker that can take out most Basic exs, and Heatmor that can KO Baby Pokemon or low HP Basics like Magikarp.
Another good choice is Mega Absol ex and Hydreigon Deck, which packs a lot of disruption and firepower.
Counter Meta Decks
 Mega Absol ex and Pom-Pom Oricorio Deck |
 Pom-Pom Oricorio and Greninja Deck |
 Pom-Pom Oricorio and Magnezone Deck |
Alternatively, you can try to counter the top decks you're bound to run into in Ranked Battles. You can opt to use a Pom-Pom Oricorio Deck, which is immune to any attacks from ex Pokemon thanks to its Safeguard Ability. Single-point Pokemon are also great for whittling down your opponent's Mega ex Pokemon.
Avoid Decks That Rely on Luck
 Golurk Deck
|
 Mega Pinsir ex and Leafeon ex Deck
|
Winning consistently is an important part of Ranked Matches, especially when players can get a Winstreak Bonus from consecutive wins. It may be good to avoid decks that rely on random chance, which include Golurk Decks and Mega Pinsir ex Decks.
