To play ranked matches, the Pokemon TCG Pocket player's account needs to reach level 3 and unlock versus matches. Unlike traditional PvP, this mode is divided into Beginner, Poke Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball ranks.

On the Pokemon TCG Pocket subreddit, user msilvestro93 shared a calculation of how many matches players need to reach the Master Ball rank. Their formula considers the player's win rate and the number of points needed to get there, so the higher the win rate, the lower the number of matches required. So they created a list estimating that a player with a 45% win rate would need 1139 matches to reach the highest rank in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Following the same logic, they calculate that players with win rates of 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, and 70% will need, respectively, 494, 315, 232, 183, and 152 matches to achieve the same feat.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Player Shares Useful Tips For Reaching The Highest Rank in the Game

According to the OP, the formula was put together based on their performance. They reached Master Ball with 308 games played, 172 wins, a 55.7% win rate, and 1,454 points. The player also gave some useful tips, such as using fast decks in case of lack of time, and a more linear deck for those who “don't want to think too much.” Other tips they included were to play Pokemon TCG Pocket meta decks to help reach the goal faster and to change decks until players find something they like.

The calculation shared by msilvestro93 is an unofficial estimate, but it's interesting to measure how hard players have to work to reach the highest rank. Therefore, players who want to test the calculation in practice and grind until the Master Ball rank, there is still time, as the current ranked season started on May 1 and will end on May 26. This is the second competitive cycle, with the first Pokemon TCG Pocket ranked season having started on March 28 and ended on April 27.
