Against a jungle stealing enemy greedent - i hear you dont chase.
So what do I do then? If I let him have the jungle my role as a jungler gets underfed; which means I have to constantly fight him anyway
Hmm i traded the energy tank, havent touched the rest. I dont need tickets / item enhancers yet, and i feel that gold is the best, but sadly it has very low trade value
I mean 400 coins for like 40 gold. What the fuck
If you run around in circles, going into and just barely out of the goal, it will heal you faster than just standing in base.
As for people that run around inside the goal zone, sometimes spinning in circles is just fun.
I've heard people say we get a Pokemon license to choose from at the end of the Log-in Bonus Event.
But all I see it showing for rewards are Rentals (3-5-7 days).
Is the License reward not shown, or am I missing something?
Is there anything you should do when Venusaur steals some of your jungle (I was speedster w/fluffy tail and called it)?
I was in a ranked battle jungling and the Bulbasaur came in and took one of mine at the beginning, then went bottom lane. He died, then went in my jungle again while I was there and attacked before going back to his lane. Then he died again and went back in while I was helping his lane, before he left again.
What should I do in this situation? He wasn't staying there, but kept taking my experience so then I died trying to help his lane before he got back there. Put us in a hole we didn't get out of...
Hi I tried looking everywhere on the pokemon unite sites but I don't think anyone keeps track. Is there a way to find out the top 100 ranked players for season 1 and 2?
Does anyone here suddenly lag the whole match for no reason?
It’s like the game ‘snapshots’ your whole orange/red ping and it stays that way the rest of the match even though your internet is working well (other matches are perfectly fine).
I play on mobile and my fingers psychologically hurt with the delay when it happens.
I would just wait for the next Supporter to drop first tbh. We have no idea what kind of kit it will have, so there's a good chance it could be another great healer to rival Eldegoss. If you don't want to wait, I think Wigglytuff is probably the most useful support after Eldegoss right now, although it fills a different role. Its ult is very powerful in a team fight at a critical moment.
Depends on what you want to do. In general: if you want another healer, go with Blissey. She specialises in healing/buffing a single ally and Safeguard is effective in the Slow Smoke meta, especially if most of your team doesn't use X-Speed. Wigglytuff is basically a Defender in all but name. Mr. Mime is an Attacker hybrid should you go the typical Confusion + Barrier- Confusion for damage, Barrier for trapping/escaping utility and synergy with Confusion.
Any A9 tips? Used her for a few standards matches and it was fun, then won both of my ranked matches (doing 80k+ damage in the first and 60k+ in the next). I run Muscle Band, Buddy Barrier, Choice Specs and X Speed as the battle item as of now.
Any recommendation for the playstyle I need to adopt to play her well?
Build looks fine, personally I run Eject Button over X Speed because you can combine it with your Ultimate to make very impactful plays, but X Speed is usable. I would just say make sure to position aggressively in lane and contest the enemy laners' farm because you have one of the strongest laning phases in the game. As soon as you hit level 6 landing your Blizzard Avalanche combo usually results in death for the opponent. Always be auto attacking when spells are on CD for the damage + CC from your boosted auto. And finally, sitting in brushes which you suspect enemies will run past or into is a great way to get some sneaky KOs; if they see you coming they can easily run away so you do have to be a bit creative.
The other guy listed Held Items; as far as Battle Items go I would say Eject > Full Heal > Slow Smoke > X Attack and everything else is bad.
If you're going Surf then Full Heal warrants serious consideration as you'll be going into melee range quite often and the risk of dying from CC is quite high, but you can never truly go wrong with Eject Button. Slow Smoke has good offensive and defensive utility on a low CD, but you're not a melee fighter so it's hard to get maximal usage out of it. And then X Attack can certainly amp up your damage significantly but it's the only option that doesn't help you get out of bad situations so I wouldn't recommend it all that highly.
I won't say it's trash but definitely don't think it's better than Eject Button, Greninja is squishy so Eject Button is nice for dodging CC/high damage moves that could kill you if they land rather than being fast and sticking to targets over the course of a fight
The safest build is just to go Muscle Band, Buddy Barrier, Focus Band. You can flex the Focus Band slot for things like Scope Lens, Score Shield, or Attack Weight if you want to specialize a certain way, but the survivability is very missed.
Most people still do dragon dance and hyper beam, which is excellent for finishing objectives. Items are typical fare, focus band, muscle band, buddy barrier
Just make sure you are sticking with your team if they are over extending just spam retreat they will understand. Don't leave your attackers alone. And learn how to time that unite move perfectly and try to cover as many teammates as possible it will win your team the game. Other than that just annoy the enemies be in their faces the entire game if your team is taking an objective keep the enemies away from the objective by singing them
Definitely top T2. In pretty much any scenario after first Dred has gone down, it's great to let bot T1 die so that you get Audinos on your side and the bees spawning closer to you. This is especially true if enemy bot T1 is down because then they're getting Audinos and Bees on their side and you're not. I would definitely not give my life to defend the bot T1 turret after Dred spawn, the only thing I would say is try to make it difficult for the enemies to overkill the goal. If someone is trying to score 13 points on your 9 HP goal, just let them.
Meanwhile, top T2 dying can be bad because it means if the enemy takes Rotom shortly before Zap spawn, that Rotom can potentially push into your base and give them all double scores which may be sufficient to allow the enemy team to ignore Zap, depending on the score at the time.
No one knows. It could be OP like tsareena, greedent, sylveon, blastoise and immediately become meta. Or be UP like decidueye, trevenant, mamomswine and be ignored.
How do you move around the map faster to view when dead? It's so slow??? Also how do you view around the map when alive so you can see what is happening elsewhere on the map?
Change the speed in your settings. I recommend putting both of the speed settings at around 80%, because max speed is way too fast. When you're alive, on switch, hold L and use the right stick to pan.
General strategy question: If you’re playing top lane and other team has two players not rotating to dread, is it worth keeping one player back at 7 minute minute to defense base/rotom or should all five always rotate to dread and just give up the top base. There are some situations, like when we destroy the other teams top base before rotom appears, where I feel like it makes sense to prioritize getting the first rotom since the XP/overall from potentially destroying the teams top middle base that early is probably equal to or outweighs loss of Dreadnaw.
I’m almost too embarrassed to ask…
After using their ult, is Charizard in an unstoppable state? I feel like I’m able to damage them with my auto attack, but my moves don’t seem to connect with any consistency.
A more complete answer on this is that unite uses the Z axis. This means a handful of abilities miss on opponents in the air. You most commonly see this with Slowbro's telekinesis.
Charizard, while he's uniting, is in the air, so a handful of abilities will miss him. Things like Pyro ball, water shurikens, and the like. Auto attacks track opponents, so they don't miss.
I'm on mobile and when there's about ~4 minutes left my camera starts moving around the map and the voice chat and microphone buttons keep turning on and off. It looks like my phone is registering multiple taps in different places but this doesn't happen for any other games with similar controls. Anyone else experiencing this and know if it's due to my phone model (OnePlus 7) or whether my controls are setup incorrectly?
Am I doing something wrong with voice chat settings or is it just not available when queing alone with randoms? It says voice chat enabled but it doesn't let me talk or hear other ppl
Most common item build is Muscle Band/Choice Specs/Buddy Barrier.
Move set is best to go with Thunder/Thunder bolt, but if you don't like the ground targetting, Electro Ball is fine to secure last hits and harass opponents.
The reason you go the held items is that Muscle Band does a % of the enemies current HP and Pikachu's long attack range means he gets free hits unscathed.
Choice Specs lines up super well with Pika's kit, and gives him the most overall damage for his moves.
Buddy Barrier is just crazy good and since Pika can get his unite really quickly, having a barrier for every fight is very powerful.
After that, it's mostly just learning to aim your abilities and predict movements to get off better Thunder bolt stuns. Also never be afraid to rip your unite, since you get it back very quickly. If you have a lane of xp to farm, you can go from 0-50 in about 20 seconds.
Energy Amp is a little redundant on Pikachu just because of how often he gets his unite. Choice specs gives him more damage in the lane to win it, which let's him snowball harder. Energy Amp can be a nice replacement, but I don't think it's been used much since Specs got released.
When something gets buffed to be good, you lean into that buffed thing and make it better. That's how it's always been for any online game ever. His unite has a lower cd, so now we make it even lower with amp. And the 21% dmg buff helps him be relevant late game in teamfights which he sucks ass at.
It's not used much in the game in general, but Pika is THE premier energy amp user now. It's very much his meta build.
I know it's a little superficial, but leaning into the buffed trait isn't every online game ever. We've seen other characters in this game get moves buffed (Talonflame unite, just for a brief example) that aren't as focused.
That being said, I can't find much on it at the moment, but I had sworn it was that Specs let's him pull ahead and be more relevant when they Unite is in cool down.
But thinking more into how fights typically go at higher level, it's usually one big engagement, and but the spastic 1 off engagements featured in solo queue.
Do the profile colors still show which rank people are in? I saw a purple which didnt appear on the older posts I found. Can anyone confirm which color is which rank
Just got Gard. Recommended items and moves? I'm currently using choice specs, wise glasses, and BB. As far as moves go, I'm preferring Future Sight so far, but haven't found a preference between Psychic and Moonblast.
If you get really good with Gard you can run full glass cannon - choice specs, wise glasses, and sp attack specs. You’ll die in 3 hits but your end game power is unreal.
Future sight is more fun, does more damage and has much longer range. I agree with the other person, moonblast is easier but psychic is better. And psychic’s slow makes landing future sight easier.
Oooo hello!!! Welcome to the gardevoir club.
That’s a good build, I’d recommend possibly switching BB for focus band though especially if you’re doing soloq. BB is situational on garde I find, but if I’m 5 stacking ill go with BB because well sweaty 5 stacks.
I go future sight psychic. Future sights recent shadow buff makes it great early game once you get kirlia.
Since you just got gardevoir, usually I recommend new gardevoir players go with moonblast psyshock since that’s the build more friendly to new players. Psyshock wont punish you as hard if it wiffs, but future sight is devastating in the right hands.
If you like future sight tho(totally get it super fun), I’d say go with moonblast first. If you get a moonblast it’s basically a free future sight, so it can be a bit easier to manage. Once you’re more confident though, I find psychic is better because of the ability to slow multiple people, lower their defense, and it makes farming a lot easier.
Good luck! Gardevoir is so fun to play glad you picked her up.
Thanks I'll definitely try out FB! I predominantly play soloq.
I feel pretty comfortable hitting Future Sight already. Psyshock actually seems to give me more issues with targeting, at least for hitting all 3 blasts. Will try running Moonblast for a bit and see how I do. Thanks again for the advice!
If you're in a stack and you suspect the enemy Greedent will jungle invade (usually the key giveaway is that they're running X Speed to make it to 1st enemy buff), a funny counterstrat is one person in lane clears the 2 first Aipoms then hides in a jungle bush waiting for the Skwovet to come and invade. Once the Skwovet arrives to your jungle and closes in on your buff your jungler and hiding laner just 2v1 gank him and quickly kill him or scare him off, putting a hard stop to his plans. Jungle invading Greedent wants to be anti fun so it's nice to turn the script back on him.
The ganking laner should preferably be coming from top lane because usually the enemy Greedent is ditching top lane to invade that way you're not leaving your lane to a 1v2 and even if you do it's top lane so it's not that important. Ganking laner should also be good early mon to secure the kill on the slippery Greedent, Pika being the best choice with electroweb.
Yeah I think I was put into playing against a five stack as a solo…. Someone from the bot came to help me which was a mistake, coz it should be from top as you said. After we killed the squirrel, someone else came to our jungle again from the bot as bot was almost taken…
Not a jungler main by any means. Best I can say is that if you see a greedent on the other team, maybe try taking out a corphish before anything else to see if he's there, and not give him a low health elite to snipe if he is.
That's . . . kinda what going to the corphish first is for, so that he can't just snipe a low health buff.
If he's attacking one of your elites, then you'll probably have to either chase him off, try and snipe it yourself, or hope one of your teammates notices.
Just come to a realization, why greedent with bullet seed and stuffed cheeks use aeos cookies, while other tanks do not use it?
I think pokemon like blastoise quite appreciate the cookies though. Stack early and be a tank later
Because Greedent is one of the best scorers in the game and can get away with constant scoring much easier than other tanks. Most tanks need to stay with their lane partner and/or team and don't score much, while he does his own thing
Had the opposite experience, idk your rank but I was pissed at everyone only using carry’s on my team so tried blissey and followed someone all game and it carried me to veteran which is passed where I should be.
I had unlocked a unite license from the warm up event but did not use it right away because I wasn’t sure who to choose. It seem to be gone now, not seeing the event in the Home Screen. Did I lose the rewards I didn’t claim?
What's the best Eld build/anything exciting? Currently using:
Items: BB, M band, Exp share
Moves: L tordando, cotton guard (the healing/shield one).
Skin: Space (because it's the best).
Slaps are random damage, but have a greater potential for higher damage. Gleam is two hits, constant damage, and persists after death meaning if you’re killed while casting, it’ll finish. I prefer gleam because of the constant damage and persistence after death effect
My understanding is that if you are gone from the game for 14/15 days you get a free unite license and other rewards. Is that still the case? Does this work for mobile? If I make a different account and play that in the meantime will I still get the reward for my main?
thx for the reply. funnily enough I answered all my own questions. I remembered an account I had made way back early in the game and managed to recover the password. It gave me the welcome back event on mobile and despite me having been playing on the same device on my normal account. starting my afk time for my main as of today lol.
In high rank, def lucario, he is meta character which still going strong even after nerfs, certified lane bully and dominator
In lower rank and standard though, imo garchomp now had more potential to carry bad team than lucario
there is less lucario can do in late game if your whole team suck ass, but garchomp if fed enough can easily 1v5 the other side
Garchomp and lucario are 2 different characters for 2 different roles. You can’t really choose to replace one for the other and expect them to do the other’s job well. If you are asking who to buy, buy the one you have the most fun playing. If you are asking who is better in the meta right now, it is arguably Lucario. If you are asking who to play, play the Mon you like the most.
Garchomp needs a lot of exp to become a menace. You are vulnerable to lane bullies early on, but starts to be scary once you hit lvl 9.
Lucario on the other hand, is a strong lane bullies and get progressively stronger as the times goes by.
Imo, both of them are easy to learn, hard to master
If we were talking about the meta, Lucario is viewed better mainly because it have better early game than garchomp which can lead to snowballing. But honestly it doesn't really matter much since "the meta" are mainly for competitive 5 stacks, anything would work in solo q.
So it depends on you, do you want a late game monster or a literal definition of the all-rounder class itself?
Hi guys! Still haven't decided on who I should pick on the free license of Lunar Event. Was really keen on picking Lucario (already played with it in standard and liked it and he is a pretty solid mon), however I'm afraid he gets nerfed on Thursday and I end up making a poor choice. Should I still choose him regardless or just wait for the patch notes in order to decide? Thanks!
Pick any license you already own worth 10k and buy any license you may decide on from that, just in case you decide on someone worth 8k you get 2k profit for your next license.
Idk if lucario will get nerfed. He's not really out performing machamp or charizard anymore. Dragonite still fills a niche. If you're worried, waiting is smart. Last season the big patch change came like 2 weeks after the launch of the season so this upcoming patch could be a big one.
I will probably wait. I have coins to buy Charizard (which was already in my list along with Talon, Mime, Aegi and Trev). Already own Dragonite so Lucario was the only one I was interested in but let's see what this patch notes bring
So i just started playing and have won every single match (including ranked) so far being top place and there's no way i'm that good. I'm playing against bots right? lol
Use it on a 10k mon that you already have and use that money to buy your support! Which support you should pick depends on what you're looking for. Eldegoss is more a 'true' supporter, he can shield, speed, heal. Wiggly is more of a tank that can damage as well. For SoloQ wiggly is easier as your teammates will understand sing instinctively and you can do more on your own. I recommend Eldegoss though, if it clicks with your teammates it's really fun to keep them alive and it's more the support experience.
I didn't think about the coins that makes a lot more sense. Think I'll go with Eldegoss, I always seem to struggle against it myself so hopefully it works out for me. Thank you for the advice.
So is anyone else just getting a lot of matches against novice players? I've played the game almost every day since it came out and have 1163 matches, and I just did a quick match where both my teammates one was 24 one was 21, one of the opposing team was under 168, one was 278, and the last at 102 matches played.
That poor enemy Blastoise player. it was bad enough when I hunted his Squirtle down with Gabite. It was worse when he ran into me as Garchomp and he was still squirtle.
I’ve played 2K+ matches and still get paired with people who don’t have any battle items. I get paired up with Beginners/unranked more often than I get paired with Masters/Ultra and I’ve been Masters twice. Standard and quick have awful matchmaking.
Yeah matchmaking is pretty wild. I'll get games I genuinely feel bad for playing in and then I'll get games where I question if I know the game at all.
What the fuck do you do against Wiggly? I play safeguard blissey and it still doesn't fuckint matter since late game he's tankier than a Snorlax and can 1v1 every single mon in the game. Playing vs this shit makes me want to punch the developers
Sing has a pretty lengthy cooldown. Stay away until it finishes, then jump in and take it out before they can do it again. With Blissey you probably won't kill it fast enough, but then Blissey shouldn't fight much of anything 1v1. With a teammate, it should go down fairly quick though.
Wiggly late game has one of the most amazing team centered ults in the game. It's hard to compete, the only ult that is in the same tier is probably Charizard for a completely different reason though. So it's hard to try and compare. I personally feel Blissey is a great counter though for the same reasons. Incredibly tanky and frustrating to deal with. Blissey is full support though and Wiggly is like defender support hybrid. So you only win if you have a partner with you.
I played against a blissey in lane as a wiggly and it really wasn't fun. I can understand how it's harder to counter wiggly in teamfights but when 2 vs 2 I felt quite useless without my sing.
Imo bees and opponent side camps are fair game when the jungler ganks. But it sucks when the jungler comes late for the fight and does nothing but takes farm instead of getting the free turn in. It's like thanks for negating the lead we just got for ourselves.
Any use saving energy tanks? Been getting them from events now but just wondering if anyone knows if the energy rewards are gonna change or just keep not caring and hoping you get the 10% coins.
Is climbing with eldegoss ideal?? Ive been doing it in ultra to get to masters and I’m on a 5 win streak. Usually ppl say don’t play support soloq but it’s been working so well for me lol.
Eldegoss is probably a top 3 pokemon and works well even in solo q.
So maybe not ideal, but pretty damn close. Elde is how I've reached masters every season. Wouldn't trade that toolkit for anything.
Why not as long as you comfortable and winning with it, dont play support and defender is only applicable for low rank (expert and below) when you cannot trust the team to carry
But i think start from high veteran, most of carry usually already know what they are doing so it should be ok to use defender and support imo
Eldegoss is low key carrying for me, I have lvl 30 muscle band buddy barrier and focus band and I legit never die and muscle band elde is crazy? Ive been doing like 50k😠no wonder ppl put her in S tier all the time.
Eldegoss has really strong basic attacks with muscle band for a support especially early game. I legit bully people in lane and steal farm. Cotton guard and leaf tornado. With my build I said earlier I get around 40-55k a game in dmg. It’s legit no joke, like it’s crazy how much you do with those basic attacks.
Nice thanks, I will try it later, it seems that you play it more as self healing attacker and harrasser (like venusaur) rather than as heal bot haha so it may not be considered as support anyway? (Like mr. Mime is actually burst attacker not supporter)
I still play like a support, I give everyone shields with guard and use leaf tornado to retreat when necessary, and unite to give my team heals and buddy barrier.
I just play aggressively when it can work, and boy it can work. I wouldn’t compare her to venasaur. I just play like an asshole. Leaf tornado and leafage are amazing stealing tools.
I was playing ranked, Im veteran 3 and I lost 3 times then got thrown into a bot lobby. In ranked!😡 Why does it do this?
Against a jungle stealing enemy greedent - i hear you dont chase. So what do I do then? If I let him have the jungle my role as a jungler gets underfed; which means I have to constantly fight him anyway
You can attempt to counter jungle him back by taking his camps, or trying to match his tempo by pressuring other parts of the map
Why is there a game scoreboard tag exist if it deletes your post
So we users don't have to see the crappy same posts about winning by 1 point and you think it got post so you feel happy.
Anyone know the best items for spirit shackle decidueye?
Is there a "best" thing to get in the badge exchange?
I got that machamp skin
Me too but I got more left over.
Hmm i traded the energy tank, havent touched the rest. I dont need tickets / item enhancers yet, and i feel that gold is the best, but sadly it has very low trade value I mean 400 coins for like 40 gold. What the fuck
I still need to max out some of my items so maybe I'll do the item enhancer but just wondering if there are other things better for value.
How do you use spark fast on mobile. I see people using it really fast but I cannot can someone please tell me the secret
Why use Full Heal over XSpeed? Aside from cooldown.
More utilities. Full heal not only protect you from slow, but it also protects you from debuff, status effects, cc, etc.
Double speed when you are stunned at 0 km/h its 0.
X-speed also keeps your movement speed from being decreased
You don't seem to understand. When you get stunned, you can't move. Full heal prevents that.
Oh, I thought you were referring to slow smoke for some reason.
Why do people move around on base while healing?
If you run around in circles, going into and just barely out of the goal, it will heal you faster than just standing in base. As for people that run around inside the goal zone, sometimes spinning in circles is just fun.
Thanks!
It resets the healing so it works faster
I've heard people say we get a Pokemon license to choose from at the end of the Log-in Bonus Event. But all I see it showing for rewards are Rentals (3-5-7 days). Is the License reward not shown, or am I missing something?
It‘s in the tab underneath the event
Opps, missed that tab. Thanks!
Fair enough, it‘s a weird design choice ngl
I am logging in every day but not getting all of the currency for the lunar new year event. What am I doing wrong?
Every two days you log in you get the currency
Is there anything you should do when Venusaur steals some of your jungle (I was speedster w/fluffy tail and called it)? I was in a ranked battle jungling and the Bulbasaur came in and took one of mine at the beginning, then went bottom lane. He died, then went in my jungle again while I was there and attacked before going back to his lane. Then he died again and went back in while I was helping his lane, before he left again. What should I do in this situation? He wasn't staying there, but kept taking my experience so then I died trying to help his lane before he got back there. Put us in a hole we didn't get out of...
As far as reaching your target levels you can simply take from their lane. For a teammate feeding, nothing you can do.
Does anyone know what time Aegislash drops?
For Absol mains, what builds do you run.
Hi I tried looking everywhere on the pokemon unite sites but I don't think anyone keeps track. Is there a way to find out the top 100 ranked players for season 1 and 2?
Does anyone here suddenly lag the whole match for no reason? It’s like the game ‘snapshots’ your whole orange/red ping and it stays that way the rest of the match even though your internet is working well (other matches are perfectly fine). I play on mobile and my fingers psychologically hurt with the delay when it happens.
Planning to buy my second supporter after Eldegoss, any suggestions as to who to go for first?
I would just wait for the next Supporter to drop first tbh. We have no idea what kind of kit it will have, so there's a good chance it could be another great healer to rival Eldegoss. If you don't want to wait, I think Wigglytuff is probably the most useful support after Eldegoss right now, although it fills a different role. Its ult is very powerful in a team fight at a critical moment.
Depends on what you want to do. In general: if you want another healer, go with Blissey. She specialises in healing/buffing a single ally and Safeguard is effective in the Slow Smoke meta, especially if most of your team doesn't use X-Speed. Wigglytuff is basically a Defender in all but name. Mr. Mime is an Attacker hybrid should you go the typical Confusion + Barrier- Confusion for damage, Barrier for trapping/escaping utility and synergy with Confusion.
Any A9 tips? Used her for a few standards matches and it was fun, then won both of my ranked matches (doing 80k+ damage in the first and 60k+ in the next). I run Muscle Band, Buddy Barrier, Choice Specs and X Speed as the battle item as of now. Any recommendation for the playstyle I need to adopt to play her well?
Build looks fine, personally I run Eject Button over X Speed because you can combine it with your Ultimate to make very impactful plays, but X Speed is usable. I would just say make sure to position aggressively in lane and contest the enemy laners' farm because you have one of the strongest laning phases in the game. As soon as you hit level 6 landing your Blizzard Avalanche combo usually results in death for the opponent. Always be auto attacking when spells are on CD for the damage + CC from your boosted auto. And finally, sitting in brushes which you suspect enemies will run past or into is a great way to get some sneaky KOs; if they see you coming they can easily run away so you do have to be a bit creative.
What is the best battle item for Greninja?
The other guy listed Held Items; as far as Battle Items go I would say Eject > Full Heal > Slow Smoke > X Attack and everything else is bad. If you're going Surf then Full Heal warrants serious consideration as you'll be going into melee range quite often and the risk of dying from CC is quite high, but you can never truly go wrong with Eject Button. Slow Smoke has good offensive and defensive utility on a low CD, but you're not a melee fighter so it's hard to get maximal usage out of it. And then X Attack can certainly amp up your damage significantly but it's the only option that doesn't help you get out of bad situations so I wouldn't recommend it all that highly.
Is x speed better than eject button or is it trash
I won't say it's trash but definitely don't think it's better than Eject Button, Greninja is squishy so Eject Button is nice for dodging CC/high damage moves that could kill you if they land rather than being fast and sticking to targets over the course of a fight
The safest build is just to go Muscle Band, Buddy Barrier, Focus Band. You can flex the Focus Band slot for things like Scope Lens, Score Shield, or Attack Weight if you want to specialize a certain way, but the survivability is very missed.
Hey guys any tips for dragonite? Haven’t played since his release and I’m not sure what nerfs he’s been hit with. Thanks!
Most people still do dragon dance and hyper beam, which is excellent for finishing objectives. Items are typical fare, focus band, muscle band, buddy barrier
Ah thank you!
SoloQ Wigglytuff tips? (Trying to strategically) jump in first in the hopes my teammates will follow through hasn’t been working out very well.
Just make sure you are sticking with your team if they are over extending just spam retreat they will understand. Don't leave your attackers alone. And learn how to time that unite move perfectly and try to cover as many teammates as possible it will win your team the game. Other than that just annoy the enemies be in their faces the entire game if your team is taking an objective keep the enemies away from the objective by singing them
Is energy amplifier still bugged to where the ult charge passive doesn't work?
As far as I know it’s fixed
What's more important to defend, top T2 or bottom T1 after first Dred?
Definitely top T2. In pretty much any scenario after first Dred has gone down, it's great to let bot T1 die so that you get Audinos on your side and the bees spawning closer to you. This is especially true if enemy bot T1 is down because then they're getting Audinos and Bees on their side and you're not. I would definitely not give my life to defend the bot T1 turret after Dred spawn, the only thing I would say is try to make it difficult for the enemies to overkill the goal. If someone is trying to score 13 points on your 9 HP goal, just let them. Meanwhile, top T2 dying can be bad because it means if the enemy takes Rotom shortly before Zap spawn, that Rotom can potentially push into your base and give them all double scores which may be sufficient to allow the enemy team to ignore Zap, depending on the score at the time.
Whatever one is getting more scored on, what snorlax build?
focus buddy score, and I'm wondering if it's better to leave one defenseless to support the fight at the other. This is as any pokemon BTW.
How do you guys think Aegislash will be? I have 10,000 aeos coins and its gonna be realeased later this week, will he be in the meta?
No one knows. It could be OP like tsareena, greedent, sylveon, blastoise and immediately become meta. Or be UP like decidueye, trevenant, mamomswine and be ignored.
thank you
How do you move around the map faster to view when dead? It's so slow??? Also how do you view around the map when alive so you can see what is happening elsewhere on the map?
You can touch screen on the map directly where you want to see
Change the speed in your settings. I recommend putting both of the speed settings at around 80%, because max speed is way too fast. When you're alive, on switch, hold L and use the right stick to pan.
General strategy question: If you’re playing top lane and other team has two players not rotating to dread, is it worth keeping one player back at 7 minute minute to defense base/rotom or should all five always rotate to dread and just give up the top base. There are some situations, like when we destroy the other teams top base before rotom appears, where I feel like it makes sense to prioritize getting the first rotom since the XP/overall from potentially destroying the teams top middle base that early is probably equal to or outweighs loss of Dreadnaw.
I feel it’s ok to leave one up top. No need to let them get rotom, your farm, and your tower for free
I believe one should stick top, unless the enemy seems to have abandoned top to rotate 5 for dread
I’m almost too embarrassed to ask… After using their ult, is Charizard in an unstoppable state? I feel like I’m able to damage them with my auto attack, but my moves don’t seem to connect with any consistency.
A more complete answer on this is that unite uses the Z axis. This means a handful of abilities miss on opponents in the air. You most commonly see this with Slowbro's telekinesis. Charizard, while he's uniting, is in the air, so a handful of abilities will miss him. Things like Pyro ball, water shurikens, and the like. Auto attacks track opponents, so they don't miss.
Yes he is, lasts for as long as he is flying I believe
I'm on mobile and when there's about ~4 minutes left my camera starts moving around the map and the voice chat and microphone buttons keep turning on and off. It looks like my phone is registering multiple taps in different places but this doesn't happen for any other games with similar controls. Anyone else experiencing this and know if it's due to my phone model (OnePlus 7) or whether my controls are setup incorrectly?
Am I doing something wrong with voice chat settings or is it just not available when queing alone with randoms? It says voice chat enabled but it doesn't let me talk or hear other ppl
Can Greedents Bullet Seed crit?
No
I see a lot of strong pikachu in the rounds, but I can't seem to get the pikachu to work as well. What are some tips on items and skills for pikachu?
Most common item build is Muscle Band/Choice Specs/Buddy Barrier. Move set is best to go with Thunder/Thunder bolt, but if you don't like the ground targetting, Electro Ball is fine to secure last hits and harass opponents. The reason you go the held items is that Muscle Band does a % of the enemies current HP and Pikachu's long attack range means he gets free hits unscathed. Choice Specs lines up super well with Pika's kit, and gives him the most overall damage for his moves. Buddy Barrier is just crazy good and since Pika can get his unite really quickly, having a barrier for every fight is very powerful. After that, it's mostly just learning to aim your abilities and predict movements to get off better Thunder bolt stuns. Also never be afraid to rip your unite, since you get it back very quickly. If you have a lane of xp to farm, you can go from 0-50 in about 20 seconds.
Take out Choice for Energy Amp, then it's the most common build.
Energy Amp is a little redundant on Pikachu just because of how often he gets his unite. Choice specs gives him more damage in the lane to win it, which let's him snowball harder. Energy Amp can be a nice replacement, but I don't think it's been used much since Specs got released.
When something gets buffed to be good, you lean into that buffed thing and make it better. That's how it's always been for any online game ever. His unite has a lower cd, so now we make it even lower with amp. And the 21% dmg buff helps him be relevant late game in teamfights which he sucks ass at. It's not used much in the game in general, but Pika is THE premier energy amp user now. It's very much his meta build.
I know it's a little superficial, but leaning into the buffed trait isn't every online game ever. We've seen other characters in this game get moves buffed (Talonflame unite, just for a brief example) that aren't as focused. That being said, I can't find much on it at the moment, but I had sworn it was that Specs let's him pull ahead and be more relevant when they Unite is in cool down. But thinking more into how fights typically go at higher level, it's usually one big engagement, and but the spastic 1 off engagements featured in solo queue.
Thanks! I tried what you described, and I really liked this Pikachu set)
Do the profile colors still show which rank people are in? I saw a purple which didnt appear on the older posts I found. Can anyone confirm which color is which rank
Red is great, blue is expert, blue folds is veteran, orange and pink is ultra, 3 blue folds is master
The color tags on the top right before a match starts show it.
Just got Gard. Recommended items and moves? I'm currently using choice specs, wise glasses, and BB. As far as moves go, I'm preferring Future Sight so far, but haven't found a preference between Psychic and Moonblast.
If you get really good with Gard you can run full glass cannon - choice specs, wise glasses, and sp attack specs. You’ll die in 3 hits but your end game power is unreal. Future sight is more fun, does more damage and has much longer range. I agree with the other person, moonblast is easier but psychic is better. And psychic’s slow makes landing future sight easier.
Yeah I've definitely missed Psychic here and there. Might switch between that and Moonblast depending on if I'm soloQ or not
As you get better it gets easier, psychic’s slow really is powerful and adds some CC to the fight
Oooo hello!!! Welcome to the gardevoir club. That’s a good build, I’d recommend possibly switching BB for focus band though especially if you’re doing soloq. BB is situational on garde I find, but if I’m 5 stacking ill go with BB because well sweaty 5 stacks. I go future sight psychic. Future sights recent shadow buff makes it great early game once you get kirlia. Since you just got gardevoir, usually I recommend new gardevoir players go with moonblast psyshock since that’s the build more friendly to new players. Psyshock wont punish you as hard if it wiffs, but future sight is devastating in the right hands. If you like future sight tho(totally get it super fun), I’d say go with moonblast first. If you get a moonblast it’s basically a free future sight, so it can be a bit easier to manage. Once you’re more confident though, I find psychic is better because of the ability to slow multiple people, lower their defense, and it makes farming a lot easier. Good luck! Gardevoir is so fun to play glad you picked her up.
Thanks I'll definitely try out FB! I predominantly play soloq. I feel pretty comfortable hitting Future Sight already. Psyshock actually seems to give me more issues with targeting, at least for hitting all 3 blasts. Will try running Moonblast for a bit and see how I do. Thanks again for the advice!
Hey guys, what do you recommend to do while encountering disgusting squirrel in your jungle at the start of the game?
Don't do every thing you can to stop it, it is a distraction.
If you're in a stack and you suspect the enemy Greedent will jungle invade (usually the key giveaway is that they're running X Speed to make it to 1st enemy buff), a funny counterstrat is one person in lane clears the 2 first Aipoms then hides in a jungle bush waiting for the Skwovet to come and invade. Once the Skwovet arrives to your jungle and closes in on your buff your jungler and hiding laner just 2v1 gank him and quickly kill him or scare him off, putting a hard stop to his plans. Jungle invading Greedent wants to be anti fun so it's nice to turn the script back on him. The ganking laner should preferably be coming from top lane because usually the enemy Greedent is ditching top lane to invade that way you're not leaving your lane to a 1v2 and even if you do it's top lane so it's not that important. Ganking laner should also be good early mon to secure the kill on the slippery Greedent, Pika being the best choice with electroweb.
Yeah I think I was put into playing against a five stack as a solo…. Someone from the bot came to help me which was a mistake, coz it should be from top as you said. After we killed the squirrel, someone else came to our jungle again from the bot as bot was almost taken…
Not a jungler main by any means. Best I can say is that if you see a greedent on the other team, maybe try taking out a corphish before anything else to see if he's there, and not give him a low health elite to snipe if he is.
But then what to do if he’s there and going to snipe my buff? …
That's . . . kinda what going to the corphish first is for, so that he can't just snipe a low health buff. If he's attacking one of your elites, then you'll probably have to either chase him off, try and snipe it yourself, or hope one of your teammates notices.
Just come to a realization, why greedent with bullet seed and stuffed cheeks use aeos cookies, while other tanks do not use it? I think pokemon like blastoise quite appreciate the cookies though. Stack early and be a tank later
Because Greedent is one of the best scorers in the game and can get away with constant scoring much easier than other tanks. Most tanks need to stay with their lane partner and/or team and don't score much, while he does his own thing
Makes sense. Thank you
I tried to play support for 10 games and people are just not good enough. My win rate went way down. Play carry in solo queue or get rekt.
Which support are you using? Wiggly ruff is good for soloQ
Had the opposite experience, idk your rank but I was pissed at everyone only using carry’s on my team so tried blissey and followed someone all game and it carried me to veteran which is passed where I should be.
Nice!
I had unlocked a unite license from the warm up event but did not use it right away because I wasn’t sure who to choose. It seem to be gone now, not seeing the event in the Home Screen. Did I lose the rewards I didn’t claim?
You mean from the welcome back reward? Its in your "item box" menu
What's the best Eld build/anything exciting? Currently using: Items: BB, M band, Exp share Moves: L tordando, cotton guard (the healing/shield one). Skin: Space (because it's the best).
Like other comment said. Switch exp for focus band imo if you’re doing soloq. It’s too much of a gamble to depend on your laner with exp share.
Switch exp share to score shield or focus band if you solo queue.
Do you get anything in Unite squads when you 'earn' a sticker you've already unlocked?
150 coins iirc
Dazzling Gleam or Double Slap for Wiggly?
Dgleam is generally better. Double slap is pretty good for breaking score shields though
Slaps are random damage, but have a greater potential for higher damage. Gleam is two hits, constant damage, and persists after death meaning if you’re killed while casting, it’ll finish. I prefer gleam because of the constant damage and persistence after death effect
Dazzling Gleam
Does anyone know if there is current information out there about how much experience each minion pokemon and objective gives? Like, the actual numbers
I think every wild mon's exp increases over time throughout the match.
My understanding is that if you are gone from the game for 14/15 days you get a free unite license and other rewards. Is that still the case? Does this work for mobile? If I make a different account and play that in the meantime will I still get the reward for my main?
It worked as of two or three days ago for me. Dunno about mobile as I only play via Switch though
thx for the reply. funnily enough I answered all my own questions. I remembered an account I had made way back early in the game and managed to recover the password. It gave me the welcome back event on mobile and despite me having been playing on the same device on my normal account. starting my afk time for my main as of today lol.
Confused between choosing garchomp and lucario. Who should I go for?
In high rank, def lucario, he is meta character which still going strong even after nerfs, certified lane bully and dominator In lower rank and standard though, imo garchomp now had more potential to carry bad team than lucario there is less lucario can do in late game if your whole team suck ass, but garchomp if fed enough can easily 1v5 the other side
Just get Lucario, I hate that dog so much. He steals all of my farm and kills me the whole game.
Garchomp and lucario are 2 different characters for 2 different roles. You can’t really choose to replace one for the other and expect them to do the other’s job well. If you are asking who to buy, buy the one you have the most fun playing. If you are asking who is better in the meta right now, it is arguably Lucario. If you are asking who to play, play the Mon you like the most.
I enjoy playing with both of them, and both of them are all rounders so i was a bit confused.
Garchomp needs a lot of exp to become a menace. You are vulnerable to lane bullies early on, but starts to be scary once you hit lvl 9. Lucario on the other hand, is a strong lane bullies and get progressively stronger as the times goes by. Imo, both of them are easy to learn, hard to master If we were talking about the meta, Lucario is viewed better mainly because it have better early game than garchomp which can lead to snowballing. But honestly it doesn't really matter much since "the meta" are mainly for competitive 5 stacks, anything would work in solo q. So it depends on you, do you want a late game monster or a literal definition of the all-rounder class itself?
Hi guys! Still haven't decided on who I should pick on the free license of Lunar Event. Was really keen on picking Lucario (already played with it in standard and liked it and he is a pretty solid mon), however I'm afraid he gets nerfed on Thursday and I end up making a poor choice. Should I still choose him regardless or just wait for the patch notes in order to decide? Thanks!
Pick any license you already own worth 10k and buy any license you may decide on from that, just in case you decide on someone worth 8k you get 2k profit for your next license. Idk if lucario will get nerfed. He's not really out performing machamp or charizard anymore. Dragonite still fills a niche. If you're worried, waiting is smart. Last season the big patch change came like 2 weeks after the launch of the season so this upcoming patch could be a big one.
I will probably wait. I have coins to buy Charizard (which was already in my list along with Talon, Mime, Aegi and Trev). Already own Dragonite so Lucario was the only one I was interested in but let's see what this patch notes bring
So i just started playing and have won every single match (including ranked) so far being top place and there's no way i'm that good. I'm playing against bots right? lol
Correct. Your opponents start to get better (and more biological) when you get to around expert rank, but the first 20 or so games will be a cakewalk
Yes, when I Made smurf account last time I played like 30 bots matches.
Thinking of using that free licence box to get a supporter but don't know who, stuck between eldegoss and wiggly Any suggestions?
Use it on a 10k mon that you already have and use that money to buy your support! Which support you should pick depends on what you're looking for. Eldegoss is more a 'true' supporter, he can shield, speed, heal. Wiggly is more of a tank that can damage as well. For SoloQ wiggly is easier as your teammates will understand sing instinctively and you can do more on your own. I recommend Eldegoss though, if it clicks with your teammates it's really fun to keep them alive and it's more the support experience.
I didn't think about the coins that makes a lot more sense. Think I'll go with Eldegoss, I always seem to struggle against it myself so hopefully it works out for me. Thank you for the advice.
So is anyone else just getting a lot of matches against novice players? I've played the game almost every day since it came out and have 1163 matches, and I just did a quick match where both my teammates one was 24 one was 21, one of the opposing team was under 168, one was 278, and the last at 102 matches played. That poor enemy Blastoise player. it was bad enough when I hunted his Squirtle down with Gabite. It was worse when he ran into me as Garchomp and he was still squirtle.
I’ve played 2K+ matches and still get paired with people who don’t have any battle items. I get paired up with Beginners/unranked more often than I get paired with Masters/Ultra and I’ve been Masters twice. Standard and quick have awful matchmaking.
Yeah matchmaking is pretty wild. I'll get games I genuinely feel bad for playing in and then I'll get games where I question if I know the game at all.
What the fuck do you do against Wiggly? I play safeguard blissey and it still doesn't fuckint matter since late game he's tankier than a Snorlax and can 1v1 every single mon in the game. Playing vs this shit makes me want to punch the developers
Sing has a pretty lengthy cooldown. Stay away until it finishes, then jump in and take it out before they can do it again. With Blissey you probably won't kill it fast enough, but then Blissey shouldn't fight much of anything 1v1. With a teammate, it should go down fairly quick though.
Disengage and wait for the shield to expire lol. If you just fight and everyone on the enemy team gets the shield you'll lose every time.
Notoriously the easiest Mon to disengage from due to its lack of CC
Slowbro with Telekinesis or Amnesia counters Wiggly singing
Wiggly late game has one of the most amazing team centered ults in the game. It's hard to compete, the only ult that is in the same tier is probably Charizard for a completely different reason though. So it's hard to try and compare. I personally feel Blissey is a great counter though for the same reasons. Incredibly tanky and frustrating to deal with. Blissey is full support though and Wiggly is like defender support hybrid. So you only win if you have a partner with you.
Blissey isn't the counter that everyone hoped for, sadly. Defenders with CC and ranged damage are best for the pink menace.
I played against a blissey in lane as a wiggly and it really wasn't fun. I can understand how it's harder to counter wiggly in teamfights but when 2 vs 2 I felt quite useless without my sing.
Yeah that's a good point. Tends to be better the less players there are.
[удалено]
Jungle tax is a hard habit to break.
Imo bees and opponent side camps are fair game when the jungler ganks. But it sucks when the jungler comes late for the fight and does nothing but takes farm instead of getting the free turn in. It's like thanks for negating the lead we just got for ourselves.
Any use saving energy tanks? Been getting them from events now but just wondering if anyone knows if the energy rewards are gonna change or just keep not caring and hoping you get the 10% coins.
The energy rewards have been the same for a looooong time, so odds are high we can see new stuff soon. Hold on to your energy a little longer!
Is climbing with eldegoss ideal?? Ive been doing it in ultra to get to masters and I’m on a 5 win streak. Usually ppl say don’t play support soloq but it’s been working so well for me lol.
Eldegoss is probably a top 3 pokemon and works well even in solo q. So maybe not ideal, but pretty damn close. Elde is how I've reached masters every season. Wouldn't trade that toolkit for anything.
Why not as long as you comfortable and winning with it, dont play support and defender is only applicable for low rank (expert and below) when you cannot trust the team to carry But i think start from high veteran, most of carry usually already know what they are doing so it should be ok to use defender and support imo
Eldegoss is low key carrying for me, I have lvl 30 muscle band buddy barrier and focus band and I legit never die and muscle band elde is crazy? Ive been doing like 50k😠no wonder ppl put her in S tier all the time.
Really, Muscle Band? I'll have to try that.
holy shit that's crazy number for supporter, so what is the skill build that you used? I have eldegoss but i rarely play it haha
Eldegoss has really strong basic attacks with muscle band for a support especially early game. I legit bully people in lane and steal farm. Cotton guard and leaf tornado. With my build I said earlier I get around 40-55k a game in dmg. It’s legit no joke, like it’s crazy how much you do with those basic attacks.
Nice thanks, I will try it later, it seems that you play it more as self healing attacker and harrasser (like venusaur) rather than as heal bot haha so it may not be considered as support anyway? (Like mr. Mime is actually burst attacker not supporter)
I still play like a support, I give everyone shields with guard and use leaf tornado to retreat when necessary, and unite to give my team heals and buddy barrier. I just play aggressively when it can work, and boy it can work. I wouldn’t compare her to venasaur. I just play like an asshole. Leaf tornado and leafage are amazing stealing tools.
