*Pokémon Unite* features a total of six ranks, each segmented into multiple classes that enable sub-rank progression. The number of classes increases as you ascend through the ranks, with higher ranks boasting more classes. Advancement is exclusively tied to performance in ranked matches, not quick or standard matches. Here's a rundown of the ranks:

  • 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 consists of three classes. To dive into ranked matches, you must reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of 80, and possess five Pokémon licenses. Once these criteria are met, you can enter the ranked match mode and start climbing from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points

In *Pokémon Unite*, you accumulate Performance Points based on your performance in ranked matches. You can earn between 5-15 points per match depending on your score, 10 points for good sportsmanship, another 10 for simply participating, and 10-50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points; once you reach this cap, you earn 1 Diamond Point per match, which is essential for advancing. The Performance Point caps per rank 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

Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* hinges on Diamond Points. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each defeat. Additionally, once your Performance Points hit the cap for your current rank, you gain one Diamond Point per match. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows you to upgrade your class, and upon reaching the highest class within a rank, you transition 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 yielding more tickets. These tickets are crucial for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique rewards that rotate with each season.

With this detailed guide, you're now equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb the ranks in *Pokémon Unite*. Good luck asserting your dominance and securing the best rewards!
