Following last week's reveal of the next major Pokémon game Pokémon Winds & Waves, The Pokémon Company has officially announced it will be winding down Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's seasonal Ranked Battle content.

The final season "Season 41" will officially kick off on 1st April 2026. After this is released, Rank Battles no longer receive updates. This season will run until the game's servers are taken offline and there will be no monthly rankings or rewards for rankings.
