Pokémon Champions ranked Season M-5 started on August 5, 2026 and ends on September 9, 2026 at 1:59 UTC. Continuing from the previous season, it keeps Regulation M-B: no format change to plan for, partly because the World Championships take place this month.
Three new Mega Evolutions on the Battle Pass
The M-5 Battle Pass hands out Chandelure, Excadrill and Scrafty, along with their Mega Stones: Chandelurite, Excadrite and Scraftinite. Three more options for your teams, including a Mega Chandelure many have been waiting for on the special attack side. The pass also includes a Trainer icon, the Corbeau outfit set, plus Quick Coupons, Teammate Tickets, Training Tickets and VP.
Pages for all three Mega Evolutions are already live on PikaMMO: Mega Chandelure, Mega Excadrill and Mega Scrafty.
