The popular mobile and Nintendo Switch game *Pokémon Unite* features an engaging online ranking system, complete with individual player classes that cater to both solo and team battles. Whether you're battling it out with your favorite Pokémon, understanding the ranks can significantly enhance your gaming experience. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all the *Pokémon Unite* ranks.
All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
*Pokémon Unite* boasts six ranks, each divided into multiple classes that facilitate sub-rank progression. This structure allows players to advance through the ranks as they improve their skills and performance. The number of classes varies by rank, with higher ranks generally containing more classes. Importantly, players can only earn points to climb these ranks by participating in ranked matches, as opposed to quick or standard matches. The ranks in *Pokémon Unite* are as follows:
- 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 dive into ranked matches, players must first reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of 80, and secure five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, players can access the ranked match mode and start their climb from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
In *Pokémon Unite*, Performance Points are crucial for progression. Players can earn between 5-15 points per ranked match, depending on their scoring performance. Additionally, 10 points are awarded for good sportsmanship, another 10 points for simply participating, and a further 10-50 points can be gained based on the player's winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, after which players earn Diamond Points, which are essential 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
Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* is facilitated by Diamond Points. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows a player to upgrade their class. Upon reaching the highest class in a rank, players transition to the first class of the next rank. Diamond Points are earned with each ranked match victory and deducted with each loss. Players at the Performance Point cap for their rank also earn one Diamond Point per ranked 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 in the Aeos Emporium to purchase items and upgrades. Additionally, select ranks offer unique seasonal rewards, adding to the excitement of climbing the ranks.
With this understanding of the ranking system, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb the ranks to claim the best rewards in *Pokémon Unite*. Good luck on your journey to dominance!
