Pokémon Unite is more than a month old now and more players are moving to Ranked matches instead of playing casually. Everyone starts out as a beginner rank and they’re working their way through Great and _. The real question is how do you get Master Rank in Pokémon Unite? This requires a lot of effort. The bottom line is ranking up in any competitive game takes a lot of skill and a little bit of luck. But at the end of the day, it’s possible for everyone to reach Master Rank. Here’s some tips on getting there.
Keep Playing
Since we’ve established to level and rank up in Pokémon Unite, you need to have some skill, this means you’ll need to get good. To get better at any game, you’ll need practice. This means play as much as you can. The more matches you play, the more you’ll understand how to play. This also means when you’re losing a game, don’t quit. Not only does abandoning a match make you lose fair play points, it also doesn’t give you room to grow. If your entire team wants to surrender then you can vote yes, but don’t be the first one to give up. When you lose you’ll gain information on why you’re losing, and be able to learn from that experience. If you notice you’re being ganked by a specific type of Pokémon, figure out what a good counter to that would be.
Teamwork
This is huge. Even when you’re solo queuing in ranked matches there needs to be teamwork. Help your teammates as much as you can. If your team is getting ambushed, instead of fighting wild Pokémon go help your team out. If your teammate has 50 points and they’re trying to score, protect them while they do so. These small things can make a huge difference, especially in ranked matches. It’s recommended that you play with friends that you’re able to communicate with so you can make call-outs and help each other out. If you run into an enemy team with good communication, you could be in trouble, so just make sure there is some communication between teammates.
Setup
Setup
Again, cooperation is key. At the start of each match each player picks a Pokémon to play. Believe it or not this small decision can determine the outcome of a game. Not just the Pokémon you pick, but the composition of your entire team. For example, if you have a team of 5 speedsters against a team that has attackers, defenders, and supporters, you’ll find it hard to get ahead. A speedster is mainly supposed to focus on jungling and scoring. Every class has its own purpose and its important to know what that is before you start. Know where each player is going before the game starts is a huge advantage. You can do this by _. Usually you’ll want to follow a 2-1-2 setup as it seems the most effective in Pokémon Unite. This means you should have two players in the top lane, one player in the middle that can focus on defeating wild Pokémon, and two players on the bottom lane. At the start of a match this is a strong setup. Keep in mind that players may rotate or change this 2-1-2 setup later in the match. If the bottom lane needs more support, its okay for a 1-1-3 or 2-0-3 configuration.
