Matchmaking

• Players will be matched with opponents based on the rank they are in.
• Note: At certain ranks, players will sometimes be matched with AI opponents.

Notes

• Availability periods and details are subject to change without warning.
• By doing at least one ranked match battle during the season, players will be counted as having participated in the season, and will be able to get final rank rewards after the season ends.
• The period during which final rank rewards can be claimed is the same as the results announcement period for a season.
• If players participate in a ranked match season and earn rank points, the number of points they start the next season with will be based on that previous season’s points.
