All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained

*Pokémon Unite* features a total of six ranks, each divided into multiple classes that allow players to progress within each rank before moving on to the next. The number of classes within each rank can vary, with higher ranks typically containing more classes. It's important to note that progress towards higher ranks is only made through playing ranked matches, not through 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 first reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of at least 80, and have acquired five Pokémon licenses. Once these requirements are met, players can dive into the ranked match mode, starting their climb from the Beginner Rank.

Advancing and Advancement Rewards
Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* is facilitated by Diamond Points, with four Diamond Points required to move up a class. Once the highest class in a rank is achieved, players advance to the first class of the next rank. Diamond Points are awarded for victories and deducted for losses in ranked matches. Additionally, players with maxed-out Performance Points 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 Aeos Tickets can be spent at the Aeos Emporium to purchase various items and upgrades. Some ranks also offer exclusive rewards that change with each season. So, gear up, strategize, and climb the ranks to claim the best rewards in *Pokémon Unite*.
