Written by. Nick Mosier based on the\u00a0original Japanese article<\/a>\u00a0(original article’s publication date: 2022-01-01 21:24 JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Pok\u00e9mon Company has announced Ranked Battle Series 12 for Pok\u00e9mon Sword<\/strong><\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Shield<\/strong><\/em> which will run from February 1 to September 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Pok\u00e9mon Sword<\/em> and Shield<\/em>\u2019s ranked battles, a new series is typically introduced every 2 to 3 months, with each series bringing changes to the ruleset. In Ranked Battle Series 12, it will now be possible to use 2 restricted Legendary Pok\u00e9mon. Furthermore, it sounds like Dynamaxing will also be possible just like in the previous series. Time limits and other restrictions will remain the same as Series 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restricted Pok\u00e9mon available for Series 12 are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewtwo
Lugia
Ho-Oh
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Reshiram
Zekrom
Kyurem
Xerneas
Yveltal
Zygarde
Cosmog
Cosmoem
Solgaleo
Lunala
Necrozma
Zacian
Zamazenta
Eternatus
Calyrex<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series 12 will be an unusually long 7 months, so it will be interesting to see what strategies become popular going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
