If you're diving into the competitive world of *Pokémon Unite* on mobile or Nintendo Switch, understanding the game's ranking system is crucial for climbing the ranks with your favorite Pokémon. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all the *Pokémon Unite* ranks and how they work.

All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained

In *Pokémon Unite*, there are six ranks, each divided into multiple classes that allow for detailed progression. As you move up the ranks, the number of classes within each rank may increase, making the climb more challenging. Importantly, rank progression is exclusively tied to playing 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

Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is the entry point for new players. To access ranked matches, you must reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of at least 80, and own five Pokémon licenses. Once these requirements are met, you can dive into ranked matches and start your climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

In each ranked match, you earn Performance Points based on your performance. You can gain 5-15 points for your score, 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points just for participating, and an additional 10-50 points depending on your winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points; once you reach this cap, you start earning Diamond Points instead, which are crucial for rank advancement. 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

Advancing in *Pokémon Unite* involves accumulating Diamond Points. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. Once you've maxed out your Performance Points for your current rank, you earn an additional Diamond Point per match. Four Diamond Points allow you to advance to the next class within your rank. Once you reach the highest class in your current rank, you'll move 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 offering more tickets. These tickets are valuable for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique rewards that rotate with each season.

With this knowledge, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*. Best of luck in asserting your dominance and earning the best rewards!
