In Ranked Battles, everyone starts from Beginner Tier and battle against other Trainers to earn points and move up the ranked ladder. Earlier tiers will be easy to climb, as there will be little to no point deductions per loss, but more points will be lost as you climb.
Reaching higher Ranks also means that you get matched against stronger, highly competitive players, so make sure you have the best Pokemon prepared!
