*Pokémon Unite* features a structured ranking system with six main ranks, each divided into multiple classes to allow for fine-tuned progression. The number of classes within each rank increases as you climb higher, with higher ranks offering more classes. To advance, players must participate in ranked matches, as only these contribute to your rank progression. Here’s a detailed look at each rank:

  • 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 the first tier and consists of three classes. To unlock 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*, your progress is measured by Performance Points, which you earn in each ranked match. Points are awarded based on your performance, sportsmanship, participation, and winning streaks. Here's how you can earn them:

  • 5-15 points for your in-game performance
  • 10 points for good sportsmanship
  • 10 points for simply participating
  • 10-50 points for maintaining a winning streak

Each rank has a cap on Performance Points. Once you reach this cap, you start earning Diamond Points, which are 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 facilitated by Diamond Points. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. 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. Additionally, players with maxed-out Performance Points for their rank earn one Diamond Point per 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 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 knowledge, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and ascend through the ranks of *Pokémon Unite*. Best of luck in your quest for dominance and the best rewards the game has to offer!
