The Pokémon Company has confirmed that the next update for Sword and Shield will be the last. Trading with friends and fighting will not be affected, but the Ranked Battle League will no longer show new or updated seasons. Your ranking will also be removed from Pokémon Home.
This update also includes the latest changes to his 1 change per month Wild Area event since it was first released in 2019. One of the final additions to the Wild Area is the Gigantimax Snorlax, and the current state of the Wild Area will remain unchanged after this update.
This change is in preparation for the new release of Scarlett and Violet on November 18th. The changes to Pokémon Home are intended to make room for the ranked system in modern games. To keep the app up to date with the latest and still supported games. After release, Scarlett and Violet will carry over as the current competitive game, with services drawn from Sword and Shield continuing only in the new game.
While some aspects of Scarlet and Violet will still be seen at release, The Pokémon Company has made a lot of new content available as the release date approaches. Scarlet and Violet will be the first true open-world Pokémon game. There are three storylines of his for the player to follow, allowing him to jump from one to another at his own pace and play the game in any order.
