With the voting period from Nov. 1 to 30, preliminary rankings will be released every Tuesday of November, and the final results are scheduled to be tallied and announced on Dec. 13. The winning Pokémon will then be available from Feb. 1 to 29, 2012 to those with international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) Global Link accounts.

The same polls have previously been made available to those with Japanese and Korean Global Link accounts, with the winners being {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, respectively — Pokémon with no Hidden Abilities.
