Players are understandably puzzled with this latest update as most were expecting Game Freak to introduce Pokemon Scarlet and Violet compatibility to Home first before Ranked Battle data functionality. It’s still currently unclear when the developers plan on connecting S&V for transfer.
However, they have already stated that it will be arriving in a Spring 2023 update, which means we should expect more details soon. Some users are speculating that the long-awaited update will arrive at the end of February, though it is yet to be confirmed.
Fortunately for Sword & Shield players, they will now be able to check their battle results through the app because of the update.
