Rank 10 in the PvP League of Pokémon GO has been difficult for many trainers to reach. However, it is now easier than ever to achieve the maximum rank. We’ll tell you what has changed.
Here’s what happened: For several days now, Season 5 in Pokémon GO has started, and a new points system has also come into play.
You no longer climb through points in the PvP League, but through victories. This changes everything, making it significantly easier to reach Rank 10.
Reaching Rank 10 – Even as a Regular Player
How it used to be with Rank 10: Those who reached this rank had to really grind in previous seasons. Hundreds of victories were required, and they had to be achieved in a row.
If you won at Rank 8 or 9, you would earn a few points, and only those who racked up numerous consecutive victories and spent hours in PvP mode reached Rank 10.
Those who checked in occasionally had no chance. Often, you needed over 1,000 battles in the PvP League to reach Rank 10.
How it is now with Rank 10: Now, you don’t need nearly as many battles and can quickly reach the maximum rank. There is no points system anymore; pure victories count.
This means you may not even need 100 battles to reach Rank 10. It all depends on how many victories you obtain from your battles.
The difference is substantial. In the best case, you only need one-tenth of the battles you previously completed to reach Rank 10.
What you need to consider: It is important that you win your battles. However, do not expect the battles to necessarily become easier.
However, it is true that players can now reach the higher ranks more easily, and therefore you will have more choices among opponents, especially at Ranks 7 to 9, whom you might be able to defeat more easily.
How to win in the PvP League: There can be hundreds of tips here, but the most important thing is to know your team’s strengths and your opponents’ weaknesses.
Therefore, familiarize yourself with which Pokémon are often chosen and how you can defeat them.
Currently, the Mini Cup in Pokémon GO is still ongoing. Only Pokémon up to 500 CP are allowed. Bronzel is particularly popular and can decide matches. Therefore, you should know how to use this Pokémon effectively and how to counter it.
Otherwise, practice is key. Observe how your opponents defeat you and try to replicate those strategies. This is especially effective when you are already at higher ranks, as PvP experts also gather there.
