All Pokémon Unite Ranks, Explained

*Pokémon Unite* features a total of six ranks, each divided into multiple classes that allow for fine-tuned progression.

- Great Rank (4 Classes)
- Expert Rank (5 Classes)
- Veteran Rank (5 Classes)

- Master Rank
Starting Out
Your journey begins at the Beginner Rank, which is the first tier with three classes. To dive into ranked matches, you'll need to reach Trainer Level 6, maintain a Fair Play score of at least 80, and secure five Pokémon licenses. Once these prerequisites are met, you can enter the ranked match mode and start your ascent from the Beginner Rank.
