*Pokémon Unite* features a six-tier ranking system, each divided into multiple classes to track your progress. The number of classes within each rank increases as you advance, providing more detailed progression. To climb the ranks, you must play ranked matches, as only these contribute to your rank points. Here’s a look at the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*:

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

Starting Out

Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is split into three classes. To dive into ranked matches, you need to hit Trainer Level 6, secure a Fair Play score of 80, and collect five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, you can jump into ranked matches and start your climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

In *Pokémon Unite*, your performance in ranked matches earns you Performance Points. You can earn between 5-15 points based on your score, 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points simply for participating, and an additional 10-50 points depending on your winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once you reach it, 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

Diamond Points are your ticket to higher classes and ranks. Accumulating four Diamond Points will upgrade your class, and reaching the top class in a rank promotes you to the first class of the next rank. You earn one Diamond Point for a win and lose one for a loss in ranked matches. If your Performance Points are maxed out, you continue to earn Diamond Points.

At the end of each season, *Pokémon Unite* rewards players with Aeos Tickets based on their rank, with higher ranks earning more. These tickets are valuable for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Each season may also introduce unique rewards for select ranks.

Armed with this knowledge, gear up for ranked matches and strive to climb the ranks in *Pokémon Unite* to claim the best rewards and assert your dominance.
