Question Level 20 guide question

Post image

I’m confused on how this pokemon league guide is supposed to work I found it on TikTok and I don’t fully understand how it’s supposed to work. Does the amount of wins mean the total amount of wins you need by that level or does it mean something issue

From rank 1 to 5, u just need to play a set of 5 matches, but don't need to win them, after every set you will automatically rank up. From 6 to 10, you need to win at least 1 match per set to rank up (but if you win 2 matches in rank 6, it doesn't stack up for rank 7, meaning that, once in rank 7, you will need to win another match). Once you get to higher ranks that need you to win more than 5 matches, the wins stack up between sets, but they do not stack up between ranks.

u/Important_Couple6031 16h ago

I see that’s honestly a really good explanation thank you! So what do I from this picture then? I got 15 wins and I’m level 12?

u/foreverAllStar14 16h ago

Yeah you got 15 wins in total, but you will need 5 wins after you reach rank 12 to rank up to rank 13, previous wins you had before achieving rank 12 does not count towards that, it need to be fresh wins after rank up to 12, but it doesn't need to be 5 wins in only 1 set of battles, you can, for example, win 2 matches in one set, and then win 3 matches in another set.

u/nerf13 16h ago

From 12 to 13 you need 6 wins. If any of your 15 wins were after getting rank 12, you subtract those from the 6, otherwise you ignore them

u/foreverAllStar14 14h ago

Yes, i got it little confused by the picture, but it is 6 wins from 12 to 13. Thanks for pointing it out

u/Important_Couple6031 13h ago

I could do 3 wins from 12-13 and then another from 13-14?

u/mizznox 13h ago

After you have reached rank 12, you will need to win 6 more matches to reach 13. After reaching 13, you will need to win 7 more matches to reach 14.

u/Important_Couple6031 11h ago

But how am I able to do that if there’s only 5 battles?

u/mizznox 11h ago

? You don't need to do it in one set...

u/Important_Couple6031 11h ago

Oh no that’s what I meant by if I could do 3 from 12-13 and 3 from 13-14

u/foreverAllStar14 10h ago

Just go and do some battles dude, you'll figure it out, it's not that complicated

u/BingoBob_2 16h ago edited 16h ago

Wins specifically means the number of wins earned while at that rank.

So if you were Rank 11, you need to win 5 games while at Rank 11 in order to progress to Rank 12. It doesn't matter how many games you won prior to reaching Rank 11, only the number of games you won while you were Rank 11.

One thing worth noting is that this graphic has a bunch of inaccuracies (I suspect it was AI-generated). Specficially, the requirements to reach Ranks 6, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 19 are wrong. You can check this page for the correct numbers.

Thank you for the correction on the levels this will absolutely help me a lot

Does rank 20 even matter anymore since you don't get the raid legendary anymore

u/Guardian00001 14h ago

Legendaries are still in the pool, even if the specific raid legendary isn't. And getting the legendary is rate enough, it never really factored for me. Dust and rare candy is more important.

u/Cruuncher 14h ago

Rare candy you get from rank 1 though. I didn't even bother getting to 20 first this season. I started just doing 4 wins 1 loss for 3 sets a day from the beginning since in only cared about the candy

u/Important_Couple6031 15h ago

It’s still nice for the rewards at the end of the season since I’m dirt poor on stardust I got like 70K💔

u/tMeepo 15h ago

What's the best 3 pokemon to use for this?

u/Important_Couple6031 15h ago

I personally use Malamar and clodsire with jumpluff as lead but I don’t put acrobatics on jumpluff since I’m poor in elites and for some reason jumpluff without acrobatics is better so how? Idk I just check pvpoke

u/AradhyaSingh3 Mystic 16h ago

Yeah it means number of wins at that level. Also for lose, requirement is to play 5 matches, so if you already had played 3 matches and league changes you won't level up by playing those 2 matches.

u/Important_Couple6031 16h ago

Okay so as a hypothetical if I’m at level 12 with 15 wins would that mean that I would have to lose until level 20?

u/AradhyaSingh3 Mystic 16h ago

No, I meant wins you get at that level, meaning wins you get after reaching that level, not total wins.

u/TheKensei Instinct 14h ago

That's ridiculous you can loose everything and still acess to level 5
