*Pokémon Unite* features six ranks, each segmented into multiple classes for fine-tuned progression. As you move up the ranks, the number of classes within each rank increases slightly, providing a more challenging journey at higher levels. Importantly, rank progression is exclusive to ranked matches; quick and standard matches won't contribute to your ranking journey. Here’s a detailed look at 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)
  • Master Rank

Starting Out

Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which comprises three classes. To dive into ranked matches, you need to achieve at least Trainer Level 6, secure a Fair Play score of 80, and possess five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, you can enter the ranked match mode and start at the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

In *Pokémon Unite*, Performance Points are your currency for progression, earned through ranked matches. Points range from 5 to 15 per match, based on your performance, with additional points awarded for sportsmanship (10 points), participation (10 points), and winning streaks (10-50 points). Each rank has a Performance Point cap; reaching it shifts your focus to earning Diamond Points, one per match, to move forward. Here are the caps per 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 pivotal for advancing in *Pokémon Unite*. Accumulate four Diamond Points to upgrade your class. When you max out your current rank's top class, you transition to the first class of the next rank. You earn one Diamond Point per victory in ranked matches, but lose one per loss. If your Performance Points are maxed for your rank, you continue to earn one Diamond Point per match.

At the end of each *Pokémon Unite* season, ranks dictate the number of Aeos Tickets you receive, with higher ranks yielding more tickets. These are used to purchase items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique seasonal rewards, adding an extra layer of excitement to your climb up the ranks.

With this knowledge in hand, you're well-equipped to navigate the ranks of *Pokémon Unite*, striving for the top to claim the best rewards. Good luck on your journey to assert your dominance in the game!
