Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Ranked Battle Series Two is now live. It marks the first time Paradox Pokémon can be used in official battles, some of which are already tipped to be a strong force in the meta.
The list of banned Pokémon has also been updated to include a new addition. Beyond that, not much has changed. The singles and doubles ruleset is the same, meaning things will play out the same way they did last season.
This season will last two months between Feb. 1 and Mar. 31. After that, another one will follow, which will likely add or remove more Pokémon from the banned list depending on how things pan out this season.
You can find specific details about the rules this season below.
