In the world of *Pokémon Unite*, a popular mobile and Nintendo Switch game, the competitive spirit is alive and well with an engaging online ranking system. This system categorizes players into various ranks and classes, allowing them to showcase their skills in both solo and team battles using their favorite Pokémon. Let's dive into the details of all the *Pokémon Unite* ranks and how they work.
All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
*Pokémon Unite* features a total of six ranks, each with multiple classes that players can progress through before advancing to the next rank. The number of classes per rank varies, with higher ranks containing more classes. Players can only earn points to climb these ranks by participating in ranked matches, not in quick or standard matches. Here are the ranks you'll encounter 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 consists of three classes. To access ranked matches, players must reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of 80, and acquire five Pokémon licenses. Once these criteria are met, players can enter the ranked match mode and start their climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
In *Pokémon Unite*, players accumulate Performance Points based on their performance in each ranked match. Points are awarded as follows: 5-15 points for scoring, 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points for participation, and 10-50 points for winning streaks. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, after which players earn Diamond Points, which are 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
Advancing through the ranks and classes in *Pokémon Unite* is achieved by earning Diamond Points. Four Diamond Points allow a player to upgrade their class, and once the highest class in a rank is reached, the player moves to the first class of the next rank. Diamond Points are earned with each ranked match victory and lost with each defeat. Additionally, players at the Performance Point cap for their rank 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 used to purchase items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Some ranks offer unique rewards that change with each season, adding an extra layer of incentive to climb the ranks.
With this comprehensive understanding of the ranking system, you're now equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb through the classes and ranks to claim the best rewards in *Pokémon Unite*.
