Pokémon Legends: Z-A is offering even more new free downloads starting today, April 1. Whether you’re still playing the base game or exploring its Mega Dimension DLC, now is a great time to boot up Legends: Z-A and see what new offers are available. This time, the free downloads are related to the start of Season 9 Ranked Battles.
As announced on the official Pokémon website, Season 9 in Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Ranked Battles begins on April 1, 2026. Naturally, this comes with a host of new rewards that participants can download for free once the season ends. It’s also a good time to remind everyone to check out any Mystery Gifts they may be missing by using that feature.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A Kicks Off A New Season
Season 9 kicks off today, April 1, and will run until April 22. Typically, seasons end (and new ones begin) around 10 pm ET, so expect a similar timing here. During Season 9, you’ll have about three weeks to climb through Ranked Battles to earn new rewards. As usual, you’ll start off at Rank Z and work your way up from there.
The following new rewards will be given out to the corresponding ranks once Season 9 ends in Pokémon Legends: Z-A:

Rank B-E |

Rank J-M |

While none of these rewards are quite on the level of a new Pokémon or Mega Stone, it’s always nice to receive some freebies in Legends: Z-A. Of course, if this is your first time participating in the Ranked Battles, you’ll earn Mega Stones for various Pokémon, including Mega Greninja, Mega Delphox, and Mega Chesnaught.
