All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained

*Pokémon Unite* features a structured online ranking system, comprising six ranks, each segmented into multiple classes for detailed progression tracking. The number of classes increases as you move up the ranks, with higher tiers containing more classes than the lower ones. Advancement through the ranks is exclusively tied to performance in ranked matches, not quick or standard matches. Here's a breakdown of 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
The journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is divided into three classes. To participate in ranked matches, players must reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of at least 80, and possess five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, players can dive into ranked matches, starting at the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
In *Pokémon Unite*, players accumulate Performance Points from each ranked match, which range from 5 to 15 points based on individual performance, plus additional points for sportsmanship and participation. Winning streaks can boost this total significantly, with players potentially earning up to 50 additional Performance Points. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once reached, players earn Diamond Points, which are crucial for advancing:
- 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 the currency of progression in *Pokémon Unite*. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows a player to advance to the next class within their current rank. Once the highest class in a rank is reached, players advance to the first class of the next rank. Diamond Points are awarded for wins and deducted for losses, with an additional Diamond Point given per match once the Performance Point cap is met.
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, certain ranks come with exclusive seasonal rewards, adding an extra layer of motivation to climb the ranks.
With this knowledge, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and ascend through the classes and ranks of *Pokémon Unite*, aiming for the top rewards and asserting your dominance in the game.
