Ranked Battles Season 8 began in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with the start of July 2023. Players can clash against other trainers of equivalent rankings in in-game battles to establish supremacy and climb tiers. Considering Season 8 will follow Regulation D, a host of new pocket monsters can now be used in Ranked Battles.Slated to run until September 2023, Regulation D allows the use of pocket monsters introduced to Paldea after the Pokemon HOME connectivity went online. The integration between Scarlet and Violet and HOME occurred earlier this year in May.This allowed players to bring in earlier generation pocket monsters from other titles through Pokemon HOME to Paldea. They can now use some of them in Ranked Battles.Every tier reward in Ranked Battle Season 8 in Pokemon Scarlet and VioletSerebii.net@SerebiiNetSerebii Update: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Ranked Battle Season 8 is now underway.
