Rank requirements in the Pokémon Go Battle League
In the Pokémon Go Battle League, you will have to ascend up ten ranks in every season. For that purpose, you need to accomplish a unique objective for every Rank. There are separate rewards for every Rank as well. The tier of ranks in the Pokémon Go Battle league is:
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 1 – Default
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 2 – You must complete a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 3 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 4 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 5 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 6 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 7 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 8 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 9 – You must win a specific number of battles in the Pokémon Go League.
- Pokémon Go Battle League Rank 10 – You must possess a battle rating of 3000 in the Pokémon Go League.
To sum up, you just need to participate in the Pokémon Go Battle League in order to reach Rank 2. On the other hand, you need to triumph in battles in order to ascend up the Ranks 3 to 7. And finally, you must successfully stay unbeaten in a specific number of battles to reach Rank 10.
Set win rewards in the Pokémon Go Battle League
Every set in the Pokémon Go Battle League consists of five matches. You will be given more rewards for every subsequent win. Thus, you will be able to acquire a total of five rewards for winning all five matches in a set.
You can choose to either aim for basic rewards (which cost you nothing) or invest a Premium Pass to go for a separate set of prizes. These could be either a larger quantity of the same rewards or see the order get changed so you can get certain prizes more easily.
Since you can see both the previous and Premium rewards beforehand, you can decide whether you are willing to invest your hard-earned Premium Pass or not. That is because, of course, you never know if you will win or lose any match.
Here is a list of possible rewards in both the basic and Premium categories:
- Charged TM
- Items for your avatar (this includes things like Pikachu Libre and Steven Stone-inspired attire)
- Mystery item (this could be a Charged TM, Sinnoh Stone, or a Silver Pinap Berry)
- Poses for your avatar
- Rare Candy
- Reward Pokémon Encounter
- Stardust
Rank-wise Reward Pokémon Encounters in the Pokémon Go League
Whether you play in the basic or Premium reward track, you will be rewarded with the same Pokémon encounters. The only difference is that you need to win three matches in the basic reward track, and one match in the Premium reward track to be rewarded with an encounter.
However, the encounters will be different for every Rank. Higher Ranks will offer a larger range of possible encounters, including many other rare Pokemon.
You can find the complete list below.
