List of Ranks

Enlarge

There are 6 Ranks in Pokemon UNITE, from Beginner to Master. There are Classes in beginner to expert ranks. Players can gain and lose Diamond ♦ points for winning and losing matches and for strong performance. Filling all slots and gaining another ♦ moves you up one Class, and if you are in the highest class, you move up one Rank.

The Master Rank does not have classes anymore, instead it has a rating system in which players are ranked based on their victory points.

Rank	Class	Victory Points
Beginner	1 - 3	9
Super	1 - 4	12
Hyper	1 - 5	15
Elite	1 - 5	15
Expert	1 - 5	15
Master	---	Rating System

Rank Restrictions

There are restrictions on matches players can join based on their ranks. This means that players might not be able to play together with their friends due to rank differences. Players can check the ranks they can join in the upper-right corner of the Lobby screen.

Ranking System and Performance Points

When playing Ranked Matches, you will gain a rank depending on your performance during these matches. Your current rank will be decided by the Performance Point System and a Diamond System.

Diamond System

The main way to increase your rank is through the Diamond System, referred to in-game with the ♦ symbol. This system allows the player to increase their Class whenever they are able to gain another Diamond ♦ after filling the slots in their current trophy. This means a total of 4 Diamonds are required for each Class increase.

After passing the Beginner rank, players can also rank down when they lose matches. Upon losing a match with 0 Diamonds at the lowest Class of the Rank, the player will drop to the highest Class of the Rank below with all ♦ slots filled.

These are the ways in order to gain and lose Diamonds for your trophy.

Performance Point System

The Performance Point System favors player who actively play often and contribute well to their teams to raise up their ranks. This system rewards player with a Diamond ♦ every time they are able to fill up the Performance Point Bar.

Here are the points you gain through the Performance Point System.
