Understanding the ranking system is crucial for any aspiring champion. Here’s a detailed breakdown of all the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*.

All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained

*Pokémon Unite* features a robust ranking system with six distinct ranks, each divided into multiple classes. This structure allows players to track their progress and strive for higher levels of competition. The number of classes within each rank varies, with higher ranks offering more classes.

• 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, the entry-level rank comprising three classes. To unlock ranked matches, you need to reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of at least 80, and possess five Pokémon licenses. Once these criteria are met, you can dive into ranked matches and start your climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

Performance Points are the currency of progression in *Pokémon Unite*. Earned during ranked matches, these points range from 5 to 15 per match based on your performance. Additionally, you receive 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 for simply participating, and 10 to 50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, beyond which you earn 1 Diamond Point per match, essential 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. Accumulate four Diamond Points to upgrade your class. Upon reaching the highest class of your current rank, you'll ascend 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 for your rank, you continue to 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 valuable for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, select ranks offer unique seasonal rewards, enhancing the incentive to climb the ranks.

With this comprehensive understanding of the *Pokémon Unite* ranking system, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and ascend through the classes and ranks. Aim high, and may your journey be filled with victories and the best rewards *Pokémon Unite* has to offer.
