You can earn between 5-15 points based on your performance, 10 points for good sportsmanship, another 10 points just for participating, and an additional 10-50 points depending on your winning streak. Each rank has a cap on Performance Points, and once you reach this cap, 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

Advancing and Advancement Rewards
Advancing through the ranks in *Pokémon Unite* hinges on accumulating Diamond Points. You earn one Diamond Point for each ranked match victory and lose one for each loss. Once you've maxed out your Performance Points for your current rank, you continue to earn one Diamond Point per match. Four Diamond Points are needed to move up a class, and once you've reached the highest class in your current rank, you'll advance to the first class of the next rank.
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 essential for purchasing items and upgrades in the Aeos Emporium. Additionally, certain ranks offer unique rewards that change with each season.
With this knowledge in hand, you're ready to tackle ranked matches and ascend through the ranks of *Pokémon Unite*. Best of luck in your quest for dominance and the best rewards the game has to offer!
