Niantic has announced the start of Season 5 of Pokémon GO Battle League. Starting November 9th players will be able to participate in Season 5. Season 5 will only be three weeks long and ratings will not be used for rank progression and instead will be based on winning a certain number of battles. Season 4 rewards will be available when Season 5 starts.

Season 5 Cups

Season 5 will include special theme cups instead of the normal Great League, Ultra League and Master League.

    • To reach rank 2, you must complete a certain number of battles
    • To reach ranks 3 through 10, you must win a certain number of battles
  • Finishing Season 5 at rank 7 or higher, will reward an Elite Charged TM rather than an Elite Fast TM.
