All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained
*Pokémon Unite* features six distinct ranks, each divided into multiple classes that allow players to progress through sub-ranks before advancing to the next full rank.

Starting Out
Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is divided into three classes. To participate in ranked matches, you must reach Trainer Level 6, achieve a Fair Play score of 80, and acquire five Pokémon licenses. Once these requirements are met, you can dive into ranked matches and start your climb from the Beginner Rank.

Points are awarded based on your performance, with 5-15 points for scoring, 10 points for good sportsmanship, 10 points just for participating, and 10-50 points for winning streaks. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once you reach it, you 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

Advancing and Advancement Rewards
Diamond Points are your ticket to climbing higher classes and ranks in *Pokémon Unite*. You need four Diamond Points to upgrade your class. Once you reach the highest class in your current rank, you'll move to the first class of the next rank. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match win and lose one for each loss. If your Performance Points are maxed out for your rank, you'll also 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 can be used in the Aeos Emporium to purchase items and upgrades. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique rewards that change with each season. So, gear up, strategize, and climb the ranks to claim the best rewards in *Pokémon Unite*.
