After all, ZA players don't have to say goodbye to Mega Greninja

Like the first season of Pokemon Legends: ZAs online ranked battles are coming to an end, players will soon be able to earn Delphoxite, which is needed to get Mega Delphox when Season 2 starts. Pokemon Legends: ZA plans to release one Kalos starter Mega Stone per season for the game's first three seasons, but players who missed Mega Greninja in Season 1 need not fear. It appears Pokemon Legends: ZA will incorporate fan feedback on the distribution method for these Megas in future seasons, as Season 2 already has an exciting improvement.

One of the biggest controversies leading up to the launch of Pokemon Legends: ZA was the game that locked the new Mega Evolutions for Kalos starters behind the game's online ranked battle mode, ZA Battle Club. While Season 1 made it fairly easy to obtain Mega Greninja, only requiring players to reach rank K without rank degradation for losing a battle, some players were still concerned that Greninjite would only be available for a limited time.

In order to participate in the ZA Battle Club and earn any of Kalo's starter Mega Stones, players must still purchase a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, another factor that has contributed to this controversy.

Pokemon Legends: ZA players can still earn Mega Greninja after Season 1 ends

Although players were unable to reach rank K in Season 1 of ZA Battle Club's online ranked matches, they will still be able to earn Greninjite in Season 2. Along with details of Pokemon Legends: ZAs addition of Mega Delphox in Season 2, The Pokemon Company also confirmed that Greninjite will return as another ranked reward. To make this news even better, earning Greninjite in Season 2 will be even easier than in Season 1, meaning that all players who participate in the online ranked battle feature Legends: ZA will likely be able to obtain this Mega Evolution.

Mega Greninja will be basically free in Season 2 of Pokemon Legends: ZA's online ranked battles

Rank Y — Mega Greninja
Rank S — Mega Delphox

Starts when Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 2 is live on November 6th, players who reach rank Y will automatically earn Greninjite. Since players start at rank Z in online battles, achieving a single rank to access Mega Greninja is essentially free. Players don't even have to win an online match to earn points toward a ranking; Simply participating in a battle and completing tasks such as picking up items or scoring a KO will likely be enough to advance players to Rank Y so they can earn Greninjite.

Even earn Mega Delphox Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 2 will be easier than last season, as the rank players must achieve to earn this new Mega Stone has been drastically reduced from rank K to rank S. Even if players only want to play a few Pokemon Legends: ZAs free-for-all online battles in Season 2, that should still be enough to earn both Mega Stones on offer.

Pokemon Legends: ZA's Kalos Starter Mega Stone Distribution is a good sign for the future

Pokemon Legends: ZA Overtaking Greninjite as a reward bodes well for the future of ranked battle rewards, especially with the possibility of the Hoenn starter Mega Stones being distributed as online ranked rewards after the Mega Dimension DLC releases. With this precedent set, it is likely that Delphoxite will be available at a similar rank in Season 3. The fact that Mega Delphox can be obtained at a lower rank in Season 2, and Mega Greninja will still be available after its introductory season, shows that fan feedback is considered from season to season, so hopefully this trend will continue.
