By partaking in Ranked Battles, you will be able to possibly earn the following rewards: Blazikenite, Swampertite, Sceptilite, Baxcalibrite, Chesnaughttite, Delphoxite, Greninjite, and Feathers. By reaching Rank S in the Ranked Battles, you will be able to earn all previous Mega Stones, so if you are missing out on a few, this is the perfect opportunity. Not only that, but by ascending through the various ranks throughout Season 14, you can earn up to 650 Feathers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An Alpha Charizard sits next to their Trainer in Pokemon Legends Z-A.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pokemon-legends-z-a-free-alpha-charizard-mystery-gift-lumiose-city.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">An Alpha Charizard sits next to their Trainer in Pokemon Legends Z-A.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is just one example of the various content updates that have been dropped for <em>Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A <\/em>since its launch back in 2025.
