*Pokémon Unite*, the popular game available on mobile devices and Nintendo Switch, features an engaging online ranking system that allows players to compete in solo and team battles using their favorite Pokémon. This system is designed to challenge players and reward their progress through various ranks and classes. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all the ranks in *Pokémon Unite* and how they work.
All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
In *Pokémon Unite*, there are six main ranks, each divided into multiple classes to facilitate sub-rank progression. The number of classes per rank increases as you ascend the ladder, with higher ranks featuring more classes. Progress is exclusively tied to ranked matches, not quick or standard matches. Here are 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 includes three classes. To participate in ranked matches, players must reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of 80, and possess five Pokémon licenses. Once these requirements are met, players can dive into ranked matches starting at the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
Performance Points are earned in each ranked match, ranging from 5 to 15 points based on individual performance, with an additional 10 points for good sportsmanship and participation, and 10 to 50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points; once reached, players 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
Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* hinges on Diamond Points. Players need four Diamond Points to move up a class, and once they reach the highest class of their current rank, they transition to the first class of the next rank. Diamond Points are awarded for wins and deducted for losses in ranked matches. Additionally, players with maxed-out Performance Points 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 can be used at the Aeos Emporium to purchase items and upgrades. Some ranks also offer unique rewards that change with each season.
As you embark on your journey through the ranks of *Pokémon Unite*, may luck be on your side as you strive to climb the classes and ranks, asserting your dominance and reaping the best rewards the game has to offer.
