Best Pokemon in Legends Z-A’s Season 4 ranked battles
Posted on 4 hours ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s online metagame has changed quite a bit now that the Mega Dimension DLC has arrived. And at the time of writing, Season 4 of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s ranked battles ends on January 7. Season 5 will allow sub-Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon for the first time, which means the Swords of Justice and Magearna will be allowed. Thankfully, almost all of the Pokemon on this list will still be viable in Season 5 – the best Pokemon in the game tend to run Earthquake as a coverage move, which will hit Magearna, Volcanion, and Melmetal for super-effective damage. You can also expect Magearna and Melmetal to become some of the strongest Pokemon in the game as soon as they’re allowed in. For now, though, here are powerful Pokemon you can prepare for both Season 4 and Season 5.
