The Pokémon Company has announced the details of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Ranked Battles Series 11 which begins on October 31st, 2021.
Dynamax Pokémon Return in Ranked Battles Series 11 Starting October 31, 2021
Trainers can also compete with a restricted Pokémon in the latest Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Ranked Battles Series.
Ranked Battles Series 11 begins on October 31, 2021, in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, and with it comes another chance to battle together with tough Legendary Pokémon usually not permitted in competitive matches. As previously seen in Ranked Battles Series 8 and 10, Trainers can include one Pokémon from the Restricted Pokémon list below on their Battle Team. Note that this is different from previous GS Cup regulations where two of these Pokémon were permitted on a Battle Team.
Unlike the Ranked Battles Series 10 regulations, Trainers will be allowed to have one of their Pokémon Dynamax or Gigantamax during battle!
