Have you gotten the chance to try out Pokémon Unite yet? If so, you’ve probably noticed that it features a ranked system. The questions are: how does it work, what are the ranks, and how can I climb them?
It’s absolutely no surprise that Pokémon Unite has a ranking system. Like many people have stated, it reminds them so much of League of Legends, and we all know that the guys over there take their ranking system extremely serious. However, if you’ve just stumbled into Pokémon Unite and aren’t familiar with how MOBA ranking systems usually work, we’ll give you a rundown.

How Can I Play Rank in Pokémon Unite?
In order to partake in ranked games in Pokémon Unite, you first have to reach Trainer level 6 and have at least 5 Pokémon in your roster. You also need a fair-play score of 80, which is hopefully no trouble for you, as everyone starts out with 100 fair-play points already. They will only be taken away if you’ve ruined the other player’s experience, like when you just leave the game and go AFK. Don’t worry, though, you can earn them back by just continuing to play normals (note that you can only earn 5 fair-play points per day, though).
