Pokémon Champions' Ranked Battles Season M-4 began on July 8, 2026 and runs until August 4, 2026. It uses Regulation M-B, which allows every Pokémon and Mega Evolution added in the 1.1 update.
The Battle Pass M-4 comes with fresh cosmetic rewards, including Ivor's bag, plus Mega Stones for Sceptile, Blaziken and Swampert, the Hoenn starter trio.
It's the perfect time to climb the ladder: as the metagame settles around the new Megas, these three starters rank among the strongest picks in the format.
