*Pokémon Unite* features a total of six ranks, each segmented into multiple classes. These classes facilitate sub-rank progression, allowing players to advance within a rank before moving up to the next one. The number of classes per rank increases slightly as you ascend through the ranks. Points are earned exclusively through ranked matches, not quick or standard matches. The ranks in *Pokémon Unite* are as follows:

  • Beginner Rank (3 Classes)
  • Great Rank (4 Classes)
  • Expert Rank (5 Classes)
  • Veteran Rank (5 Classes)
  • Ultra Rank (5 Classes)
  • Master Rank

Starting Out

The journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is divided into three classes. To enter the fray of ranked matches, players must reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of 80, and acquire five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, you can dive into ranked matches and start your climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

In *Pokémon Unite*, Performance Points are earned in each ranked match, with points awarded based on your performance, sportsmanship, participation, and winning streaks. Here's how you earn them:

  • 5-15 points per match based on your score
  • 10 points for good sportsmanship
  • 10 points for participating
  • 10-50 points for winning streaks

Each rank has a cap on Performance Points. Once you hit this cap, you earn 1 Diamond Point per match, which is crucial for advancing. The Performance Point caps are:

  • Beginner Rank: 80 Points
  • Great Rank: 120 Points
  • Expert Rank: 200 Points
  • Veteran Rank: 300 Points
  • Ultra Rank: 400 Points
  • Master Rank: N/A

Advancing and Advancement Rewards

Diamond Points are the golden ticket to advancing to higher classes and ranks. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. Additionally, once your Performance Points are maxed out for your current rank, you continue to earn one Diamond Point per match. Four Diamond Points will elevate you to the next class within your rank, and reaching the top class in any rank propels you to the first class of the next rank.

At the end of each season, *Pokémon Unite* rewards players with Aeos Tickets based on their rank, with higher ranks yielding more tickets. These tickets are used in the Aeos Emporium to purchase items and upgrades. Each season also brings unique rewards for select ranks, adding an extra layer of excitement to your climb.

With this comprehensive guide to the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*, you're well-equipped to tackle the competitive scene. Good luck climbing the ranks and asserting your dominance to earn the best rewards!
