The thrilling world of *Pokémon Unite* on mobile and Nintendo Switch features an engaging online ranking system that challenges players to climb the ranks through solo and team battles with their beloved Pokémon. Here’s a comprehensive guide to all the *Pokémon Unite* ranks to help you understand how to progress and dominate the competition.
All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
In *Pokémon Unite*, there are six ranks, each divided into multiple classes. These classes facilitate sub-rank progression, allowing players to advance until they're ready to move up to the next full rank. The number of classes per rank varies, with higher ranks typically having more classes than the lower ones. To climb the ranks, players must participate in ranked matches, as opposed to quick or standard matches. Here are the ranks you'll encounter:
- Beginner Rank (3 Classes)
- Great Rank (4 Classes)
- Expert Rank (5 Classes)
- Veteran Rank (5 Classes)
- Ultra Rank (5 Classes)
- Master Rank
Starting Out
Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which includes three classes. To dive into ranked matches, you need to reach at least Trainer Level 6, secure a Fair Play score of 80, and collect five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, you can jump into the ranked match mode and start your ascent from the Beginner Rank.

Performance Points
Performance Points are the currency of progress in *Pokémon Unite*. You earn between 5-15 points per ranked match based on your performance, plus an additional 10 points for sportsmanship, 10 points for participation, and 10-50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a Performance Point cap, and once reached, you earn 1 Diamond Point per match. Here are the 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 crucial for advancing to higher classes and ranks. You earn one Diamond Point per ranked match win and lose one per loss. Once you've maxed out your Performance Points for your current rank, you continue to earn one Diamond Point per match. Four Diamond Points allow you to upgrade your class, and once you've reached the top class of your current rank, you move to the first class of the next rank.
At the end of each season, *Pokémon Unite* rewards players with Aeos Tickets based on their rank, with higher ranks offering more tickets. These tickets can be spent in the Aeos Emporium on various items and upgrades. Additionally, select ranks come with unique seasonal rewards, enhancing the thrill of climbing the ladder.
Armed with this knowledge, you're ready to tackle ranked matches and ascend the ranks to claim your spot among the elite in *Pokémon Unite*. Best of luck on your journey to dominance!
