Performance Points
In *Pokémon Unite*, Performance Points are your bread and butter for climbing the ranks. Earned during each ranked match, these points range from 5 to 15 based on your individual performance. Additionally, you can earn 10 points for good sportsmanship, another 10 for simply participating, and between 10 to 50 points for maintaining a winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once you hit that cap, you start earning Diamond Points, which are essential 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
Advancement in *Pokémon Unite* hinges on Diamond Points. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each defeat. Accumulating four Diamond Points allows you to upgrade your class within your current rank. Once you've maxed out the highest class in your rank, you'll move to the first class of the next rank. Players who've reached their rank's Performance Point cap 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 are invaluable for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique seasonal rewards, adding an extra layer of incentive to climb the ranks.
