A Special Announcement regarding Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Rating Battle Season 17

Thank you for participating in Pokémon Global Link (PGL). We have an important announcement regarding the Rating Battle Season 17 Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon League that began on September 3, 2019, after the end of maintenance.

Thursday, September 5, through Monday, September 9, at 1:00 p.m. JST, Season 16 regulations were mistakenly being sent to Pokémon Ultra Sun instead of the Season 17 regulations.

This affected matches in the following ways:

Pokémon Ultra Sun vs. Pokémon Ultra Sun

· Teams were matched based on Season 16 regulations. We are currently investigating how this will affect the Season 16 rankings.

· As a result, the final release of the Season 16 rankings will be delayed. We thank you for your patience as our investigation continues.

Pokémon Ultra Sun vs. Pokémon Ultra Moon

· Players were paired up, but matches were deemed invalid because the regulations were not the same.

Pokémon Ultra Moon vs. Pokémon Ultra Moon

· These matches were not affected.

We would like to apologize for this issue, but please know that we are working to take care of it. Again, we thank you for your patience.
