Occurs When Player Is On Losing Streak
Although there's no option to battle CPU in Ranked Matches, there are circumstances where players may face bots. This most likely occurs when players in ranked matches are on a losing streak for certain times.
Check The Opponents Trainer Card
You can check the appearance of the trainer by flipping over each trainer card on the loading screen right before the game starts. Bots strike the default pose and have the same yellow background.
Unable To Check Info After Match
Aside from the trainer card's appearance, players also won't be able to check the Bots' Trainer Info after the match as they were set to private.
