The TCG has a whole new set coming along that could easily be one of the biggest of the last few years, while we have also had confirmation of the first games of the tenth generation, Winds and Waves. Outside of that, the existing releases tied to the franchise are also ticking along quite nicely, with several still being regularly updated to keep the content interesting. Arguably the chief among those right now is Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and the latest event brings a ton of potential rewards that players can earn for participating. As reported by Game8, Ranked Battles Season 15 is now live in Pokémon Legends: Z-A with the event set to run until August 27. This time around, the ruleset lists only Water-Type Pokémon within both the Lumiose Pokédex and Hyperspace Pokédex as eligible for participation. The list of Pokémon available from each Pokédex is as follows: Lumiose Pokédex Totodile Croconaw Feraligatr Magikarp Gyarados Binacle Barbaracle Staryu Starmie Panpour Simipour Vaporeon Slowpoke Slowbro Slowking Carvanha Sharpedo Squirtle Wartortle Blastoise Skrelp Clauncher Clawitzer Froakie Frogadier Greninja Hyperspace Pokédex Rotom (only Rotom Wash) Dondozo Tatsugiri Qwilfish (only regular Qwilfish) Mudkip Marshtomp Swampert Feebas Milotic Wimpod Golisopod Volcanion Keldeo Kyogre Promotion rewards are granted for each rank that you advance through before the season draws to a close, with the full list of available incentives as follows: Rank S Blazikenite Rank T Swampertite Rank U Sceptilite Rank V Baxcalibrite Rank W Chesnaughtite Rank X Delphoxite Rank Y Greninjite Other Rewards Fresh Water/Pretty Feather/Health Feather/Fresh Water/Dive Ball/Net Ball/Lure Ball/Water Stone/Mystic Water It's also important to note that you'll only be able to have one Kyogre in your line-up, as the Legendary 'mon finds itself on the restricted list this time around. You'll be playing against three other players at the same time in each battle, so it's all about covering as many bases as you can with your selections and team make-up. These events are more than likely to continue all the way up to the release of Winds and Waves, with Pokémon Legends Z-A almost certainly taking a back seat after that. There is a future for the game beyond that point, though, as we have seen with previous entries in the series already.
