The engaging mobile and Nintendo Switch game *Pokémon Unite* features a dynamic online ranking system that categorizes players into different classes as they participate in both solo and team battles with their favorite Pokémon. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all the *Pokémon Unite* ranks to help you understand the progression system.
All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
In *Pokémon Unite*, there are six ranks, each divided into multiple classes that facilitate sub-rank progression. The number of classes within each rank varies, with higher ranks typically containing more classes than lower ones. Players can only accumulate points to advance through the ranks by participating in ranked matches, as opposed to 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 participate in ranked matches, players must first reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of 80, and acquire five Pokémon licenses. Once these criteria are met, players can dive into ranked matches, starting at the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
In ranked matches, players earn Performance Points, which range from 5 to 15 points per match based on their performance. Additionally, players receive 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points for simply participating, and 10 to 50 Performance Points depending on their winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points; upon reaching this cap, 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
Diamond Points are essential for advancing to higher classes and ranks. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows a player to upgrade their class. Once a player reaches the maximum class of their current rank, they advance to the first class of the next rank. Players earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. Those who have maxed out their Performance Points for their rank continue to 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 offering more tickets. These Aeos Tickets can be used to purchase items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks come with exclusive seasonal rewards. With this knowledge, you're well-equipped to tackle ranked matches and climb through the ranks and classes to claim the best rewards in *Pokémon Unite*.
*Pokémon Unite* is currently available on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch, providing ample opportunity for players to engage in competitive battles and rise through the ranks.
