Best Pokemon in Legends Z-A’s Season 7 Ranked Battles
Season 7 of Pokémon Legends Z‑A’s ranked battles permits two restricted Legendary Pokémon per team, resulting in a meta dominated by legendary spam. Rayquaza emerges as the top pick thanks to its Mega Evolution and ability to hold a Focus Sash, followed by Kyogre and Groudon, which remain formidable despite balance quirks. Xerneas retains viability, while Yveltal and Zygarde are outclassed, and Mewtwo offers flexible physical or special builds. The author warns that the lack of diversity makes the season feel stale and hopes for a ban on legendaries in Season 8.
