All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
*Pokémon Unite* boasts six ranks, each subdivided into multiple classes to facilitate progression. The number of classes within each rank varies, with higher ranks typically containing more classes than the lower ones. Importantly, players can only earn points towards rank advancement by participating in ranked matches, not in quick or standard matches. Here's a breakdown of the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*:
- Beginner Rank (3 Classes)
- Great Rank (4 Classes)
- Expert Rank (5 Classes)
- Veteran Rank (5 Classes)
- Ultra Rank (5 Classes)

Starting Out
Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is divided into three classes. To unlock ranked matches, you 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 ranked matches, you earn Performance Points based on your performance. You can gain 5-15 points per match depending on your score, 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points just for participating, and an additional 10-50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once you reach this cap, you earn 1 Diamond Point per match, which is crucial for advancing. Here are the Performance Point caps for each rank:
- 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
Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* is driven by Diamond Points. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows you to upgrade your class. Once you reach the highest class in your current rank, you'll move to the first class of the next rank. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. Additionally, if your Performance Points are maxed out for your rank, you'll earn one Diamond Point per ranked match.
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 essential for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Some ranks also offer unique rewards that change with each season.
With this understanding of the ranking system, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*. Best of luck in asserting your dominance and securing the best rewards!
