Serbii.net also revealed that the Battle Stadium would no longer update with ranked seasons starting on Nov. 1. Ranked Battle Season results will no longer appear in Pokémon HOME, and there will be no future online competitions.
While this may disappoint some fans, it’s understandable that The Pokémon Company is doing this, as the next mainline Pokémon games, Scarlet and Violet, are launching next month. We’ll just have to wait and see how updates for those titles will work out.
On the bright side, Sword and Shield will still have most of their other online features intact. You’ll still be able to trade with other players, compete in friendly matches, and partake in raid battles. Just don’t expect any more rank battles from here on out.
Pokémon: Sword and Shield first launched on Nov. 19, 2019, with two expansion packs launching the following year.
The next installments in the franchise, Scarlet and Violet, will launch on Nov. 18, 2022.
