Ranked hasn’t yet been released in Scarlet and Violet, but I’m wanting to begin preparing my competitive team so I can hopefully get a jump start in the climb. Knowing whether or not paradox Pokémon are going to be banned would be helpful in team designing. Anyone know anything about the ranked regulations yet?

Ranked battles are VGC, right? The VGC 2023 rules got announced recently. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/vgc-2023-metagame-discussion-series-1.3711716/

These are the rules for VGC 2023 Series 1. If this is not what you're asking for, please tell me and I'll put this question back on the unanswered list.

Series 1 bans Paradox Pokemon and the Ruin Quartet in addition to Koraidon and Miraidon. That means that the following Pokemon are banned:
Great Tusk, Scream Tail, Flutter Mane, Brute Bonnet, Slither Wing, Sandy Shocks, Roaring Moon, Iron Treads, Iron Bundle, Iron Hands, Iron Jugulis, Iron Moth, Iron Thorns, Iron Valiant, Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu, Koraidon, Miraidon
