Here is our Pokemon Sword and Shield Tier List where we have ranked the Pokemon based on their performance in ranked battles.
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Ranked Battles allow you to put your Trainer abilities to the test against gamers from all around the world, climb the global leaderboards, and earn useful in-game rewards. The new Ranked Battles season has started, offering Trainers another opportunity to put their fighting talents to the test. Every month, the leaderboards are reset, so now is the best time to enter.
The January 2022 Season (Season 26) of Ranked Battles will follow the Series 11 regulations, which means you’ll be able to battle with one powerful, typically ineligible Legendary Pokémon by your side. The January 2022 season will run until January 31, 2022, at 3:59 p.m. PST. Here is our complete Pokemon Sword and Shield Tier List.
