Ladder (TCG Live)

The Ladder is one of the systems of player progression for Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. Rank Points are earned or lost by playing matches on Ranked Mode, which pairs games from this mode with opponents close to the player's Rank Points and rewards climbing to the first tier of the ladder's Leagues with the in-game currencies and seasonal cosmetic items. Rewards and Rank Points reset every month, and the player also receives additional rewards at each ladder reset depending on their reached League if they have played at least 5 matches during the period.
Point progression is based on the player's current League:
* Quick League, Poké League, Great League, Ultra League: +10 on a win, 0 on a loss
* Deoxys Tier (Master League): +10 on a win, -2 on a loss
* Victini Tier (Master League): +10 on a win, -3 on a loss
* Shaymin Tier (Master League): +10 on a win, -5 on a loss
* Mew Tier (Master League): +10 on a win, -6 on a loss
Players will also not go back to the previous league they are currently on. If players win consecutive games, they will instead gain +13 for each win rather than +10. At the end of each season, the ladder will reset and all players above Quick League will be reset to Poké League.
With the December 2024 Season, an ELO system was added to Arceus League. Once a player reaches Arceus League they will be set to 1500 ELO rather than having 550 ladder points.

==Trivia==
The design of most Leagues' badges are based on the corresponding Poké Ball variant, with Arceus League repeating the Master League's layout.
With the update of the PTCG Live Ladder for Surging Sparks, the Pichu (Quick League), Corviknight (Great League), Charizard (Great League), and Mewtwo (Ultra League) Tiers were all removed.
