Teams can now have multiple EX Pokemon in a team for the current ranked season (Season 18)! Use this opportunity to climb up the ladder with EX Pokemon that you already own!

Ranked Season 18: End Date and Rewards

One EX Pokemon Per Team is Suspended from Ranked Season 18

The old rule that only one EX Pokemon is allowed per team in ranked battles is currently suspended for Ranked Season 18. We are unsure if this rule will return in future ranked seasons but this rule is replaced by the one above as of writing.

EX Pokemon Can Be Played Normally in Other Battles

Pokemon UNITE - Quick Battle Screen

EX Pokemon can be played normally and are not regulated in other Unite Battles like Standard or Quick Battles. The rules above only applies to Ranked Battles

What are EX Pokemon?

A Pool of Special Pokemon with Special Rules

EX Pokemon is a special group of Pokemon where certain rules in Ranked Battles are applied. The rules are explained above!

Designated by the Developers

The EX Pokemon classification is designated by developers throughout the lifetime of the game. Legendary Pokemon usually populate the EX Pokemon classification and they're mostly really powerful that can break the meta.

EX Classification Does Not Affect Pokemon Stats

It's important to note that the EX classification does not actually affect the Pokemon's power level during matches. EX is merely a notation that these Pokemon has special rules & conditions applied to them per Ranked Season.

Implemented From December 5, 2023
