The Japanese social media account for the Pokemon series confirmed Nintendo and Game Freak are aware of a Pokemon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle bug that might keep someone from getting the Mega Stone they rightfully earned from hitting a certain tier. The account first acknowledged the issue the evening of November 6, 2025, then followed up confirming it is still under investigation on November 7, 2025.
The issue some Pokemon Legends: Z-A players are experiencing involves the Mega Stones being given away in Season 2 of the online Ranked Battle mode. If we compete, we should get Greninjite for Greninja after reaching Rank Y, then Delphoxite for Delphox after getting to Rank S. However, reports came in that stated people didn’t get the rightful rewards for their tier. The second part of the statement online did note that people who weren’t able to get the Mega Stones as a result of the bug will get another chance. However, it didn’t note how yet.
This comes after a patch that made it easier to get the Mega Stone rewards from the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle. During Season 1, someone had to get to Rank K in order to get Greninjite. As a result, Game Freak adjusted that for Season 2 and made it possible to get that Greninja Mega Stone again at a lower tier.
We do know what to expect in the future for at least one upcoming Mega Stone Ranked Battle reward. Chesnaught’s Chesnaughtite will be doled out in Season 3.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is available for the Switch and Switch 2, and Ranked Battle Season 2 will end on November 26, 2025.
