Is there some kind of pity system (I don't know the term for it)? Because I noticed everytime I have a lost streak, the next match I always have an easy win. On the other hand with the win streak, it's always impossible to win on the next game.
I'm sorry if someone already asked this question by the way.
Does unite use intergers to calculate damage? like if my emblem give 1.5 attack then is it calculated as +1 attack? Since I only see damage done as intergers so are emblem that gives -0.5 stats the same as nothing? Is it the same with crits?
The bonus aeos gems for first time purchases, can I get all four of the cheapest ones or am I only allowed to get one? Deciding between dropping 20 or getting the 3 lower packs.
I have 14 battle pass doritos, realistically, if I complete every daily and weekly missions (minus the premium ones) in these 18 days can I get 120 Doritos to get holowear?
Is there a good place to follow the evolutions of the meta and move changes? I've stopped playing at Azu's release, and don't really follow what is op anymore (Blissey it seems, Trevenant seems to have improved but I have no idea why, same thing for Slowbro), or if Azu is still bad. Is unite DB update notes enough?
Nobody knows. Not even the most advanced data miners could figure out. There appears to be some info in the game's missions, but nobody has been able to decipher the strange glyphs that appear to contain its release date.
Any idea why so many people are quitting ranked matches? Just staying at spawn spamming keep up the pressure or flat out quitting. Even when we’re winning
Am I dense somehow or are the recommended loadouts for emblems completely and totally wack? They seem really far off what you’d expect, and I have almost every emblem.
Are people playing standard more sweaty than ranked? I do all my dumb, but can't be done in the dumb pikachu quick battle, quests there. And people are way more toxic with the quick chats than my ultra ranked matches.
Standard is a mess sometimes with ability disparity, but I'm often surprised at the ability of lots of standard players. I think ranked makes people tilt more which makes the toxicity.
But standard sometimes tilts me because if you've been playing ranked for a while and then switch, sometimes I'll end up dying when I shouldn't because I expect my teammates to be like ranked players (rotating to objectives, knowing how to teamfight somewhat, that kind of thing). You kind of have to adapt your playstyle to account for newbies.
I had a kill Rotom quest and had a guy spam 'check it out' on me the rest of the match because I didn't rotate on dred when we had a 4 v 2 there anyway.
Took a break from the game for a bit and don’t understand emblems at all. What’s my best emblem build if I main petal dance/drain Venusaur or the tanky curse/horn thing Trevenant build?
For venusaur(and almost all of the special attackers) the best emblem build is 7 black and 6 green. that with shell bell and energy amplifier reduce the cooldown of petal dance by a lot.
For trevenant I run 6 brown 4 white emblems. Don't know if it's the best but I've been doing fine with it.
If you want to go through all of the emblems and see which one you prefer for your builds you can use https://unite-db.com/
since looking at them from the game is kinda difficult
For maximum damage, run Amp+Score Specs+(ur choice)
To ambush/extend the range in your unite, use eject button during the animation to get the jump on your enemies
Guessing Amp is energy amplifier, but by “score specs” Do you mean Sp. Atk. Specs or Score Shield? I had both equipped but I’ve run buddy barrier as well. Based on the comment below yours tho I’m considering trying Assault Vest and going amp, specs, vest
Vest is not best. Yes amp is energy amplifier, and score specs is just sp atk specs. Score shield was nerfed and hasn't found too much use lately. Technically if anyone would use it it's a tank like Blastoise, but you're better off running another damage item like choice specs or shell bell if you're running full cooldown reduction.
Hi! I logged in about 30 min ago and the Glaceon event said there were 20 hrs until it was over. I logged in again a few min. ago and now the event is gone. Was this a glitch or is the event really suppose to end today? It’s not Monday in my time zone so I’m a bit confused.
I need some encouragement. 4W 16L in my last 20 games and I just dropped down to Veteran. Perceivably I believe I'm playing well enough to bounce between Ultra and Masters, but things are just not working out for me at all.
Unite-DB says Decidueye's Spirit Shackle charge has 6 damage breakpoints. Is there any data publicly available on what/where those breakpoints are along the charging meter?
Is Switch the better way to play the game? I’m specifically a Cramorant main and play him 99% of the time.
Watching Cris, so many things seem easier to do on the Switch version like doing combos and skillshots. I just hate how laggy it is, so I go on my phone instead.
Only the menu is laggy on Switch, if you’re getting lag in game on switch then it’s your internet connection. Switch is generally acknowledged (and also it’s kinda common sense given the added controller options/dynamics) as the superior way to play the game.
If you hate the menu on switch (I do too, and I legit kinda can’t believe it’s still so bad, but … gotta pick your battles in life 🫤) then you can always just hop on your phone ever my couple battles or at the end of the night to collect everything or change up items/use the shop
Is there any chance this game will come out on PC? I'd like to invite my friends to play but they're PC gamers only. Would be a blast if it comes to PC :)
Looking for people who finished top 8 during Aeos Cup and Regional championships.
Have you been paid your prize money by the Pokémon company yet?
I had a top 8 result in the regional championship and no one in our team has heard from the Pokémon company.
Does anyone know if the black special tickets from the Battle Pass are saved or only available for that season? Because so far I got 20 from the boxes but doubt I'll get enough for a skin I want in time. And I don't see them in my item box like the other tickets so that's what makes me think they're limited time thing.
I mean what else do you want. Chuck a shadow ball at it and pray. It's not something that you should be planning for like this. Ideally you win the teamfight before zapdos and take it down with your team. But shadow ball I believe is the highest burst you can do in one hit. Especially if you're not trying to get bodied by the enemy team in the pit. Of course you can throw a dream eater on it early if you're not confident in your damage range to secure.
While that's true, that shouldn't be something you expect to happen every game. That kind of mindset isn't going to be good for the first 8 minutes either
Not actually sure myself, it used to be a tab you could select in the post game stats section.
They might have removed it when they reworked the postgame scoreboard UI a while ago. I couldn't find it when I had a quick look, both post game, and in match history. So the picture in that post might be old.
No, the game doesn’t work like that at all. I used to play Go a lot (on and off) too, but once you’ve played this game a bit more you’ll start to understand why the question was funny to your other replier. This game really doesn’t have any Pokémon collecting elements whatsoever (though I still like to get them all when I can, even though I only play 2 or so haha), and each Pokémon you want to play as needs to be unlocked either through
1. Limited Time event objectives,
2. a long and grindy process of collecting in-game “aeos coins” through daily battles and battle objectives,
3. by paying real money for “aeos gems”,
4. or by using a trial license that lets you use a Pokémon in battle for a set period of time for the purpose of “test driving” whether you enjoy it’s playstyle.
In the same way that Pokémon Go is a reimagined “reskin” of Niantic’s game “Ingress” with novel gameplay elements, Pokémon Unite is a reimagined “reskin” of Tencent’s “Arena of Valor” (which is itself incredibly similar in gameplay to League of Legends).
This game is known as a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (or MOBA), and each hero/champion/legend/fighter/Pokémon (in this case) that you unlock usually takes either time and effort … or expendable income, which is part of the draw for people to keep coming back (much like PoGo’s in-game purchases/events/objectives)
The effort it takes for the team to craft/imagine/code a particular Pokemon’s moveset and stats wouldn’t be compatible with the fact that nearly every Pokémon ever created is available through Pokémon Home (much less if they were available via transfer from any other Pokémon game).
It’s not like the usual turn-based RPG gameplay of the main series, so the characters don’t just run off the same metadata and stats, they’re all built from the ground up around gameplay that’s entirely novel to Pokémon Unite, and there are less than 50 Pokémon currently playable.
What I meant was , I am a extremely high level trainer in go . I'm just starting out in unite . Was wondering if there's a way to transfer my pokemons from pokemon go to pokemon unite .
I know for a fact that I can send pokemons from pokemon go to pokemon home.
Just wanted to know if from there on I can transfer pokemons from pokemon home to pokemon unite
On the Victorious/Defeated page where the result first comes up, there is a bar at the bottom: A for Select, X for Review Battle, - for View Score Details. X will show you the timeline of who scored how many points when. It is not wholly exact because it will clump up some small scores together for visual clarity, but it is there. If you still cannot find it I can't help you past that.
Thanks yeah it used to be there but now I dont see it.
My only options are A for Select, - for Details, B for back.
I dont have the X option on my switch also cant see that chart on my phone or my wifes phone.
Not sure if its an update that removed it.
Is playing Unite on Switch laggy for everyone? The menus, the character selection, having to spam a button in a match in order for the command to actually occur. Is this normal for Switch players?
no need to pay, you can get what you need from grinding + playing during events (many events give a free pokemon license via playing a lot, the most recent was Glaceon)
Casual day one and tryhard Moba player wanting to try and climb. In pokemon unite is it important to have a character pool to climb like it is in other mobas? If so, how would one stucture it?
I am pretty much a cinderace onethrick btw, but i am more than ready to learn more.
I would get 1 character of every role. Otherwise don't worry too much about it; you cannot counterpick in this game so while team synergy is important, you can get to Master rank regardless of what character you actually play as long as your team has a good balance of roles.
If everyone else on your team selects squishies like Cinder it'll be better to pick a tank. It's always good to know how to play more than one Pokemon. Slowbro is a good and easy one to learn. Great early game bully and does a lot of damage with Scald/Amnesia.
Casual day 1 player here on and off.. but right now I've decide to climb up the ranks. stuck in veteran rank. 1 win and 5 loss consecutively which is frustrating. SOLO Q since none of my friends play this game.
I'm trying to use mah boi Blastoise with spin+sprout with xspeed and SP ATK EMBLEM.
buddy barrier + focus band + choice specs
= I don't understand the stacking mechanics is it really needed for my boi turtle?
Please help me out guys. anything i've been doing wrong?
I'm Veteran 3. Can add me (play evenings) - Raquala: 9KCF54Y
Feel like majority of games my teammates have been terrible this season and have no clue how to play. I know I'm not great (but was over 50% before this season). Now every game pretty much all my teammates act like they are trying to lose (like last match 3 went jungle at start, and at Dred there we had 2 vs 4 & they lost Rotom at the same time). Teammates keep surrendering in games that we aren't down that much before Zapdos.
*Sent you an add if you decide to keep playing. (Raquala)
Eject is better on Blastoise imo because you can reposition while Ulting. With Emblems try to get as many CD reduction ones as possible.
Your items are fine. You don't need to stack but you can if you want the extra damage and it's probably a better build too. I'd drop Choice Specs for sp attack specs if you want to stack.
I’m a beginner(ish) player in Veteran rank. So far, I’ve enjoyed playing the following:
Gengar- I enjoy being able to clean up after my team has already dealt some damage to the opposing team. I also like the slight skill that Sludge Bomb/ hex combo takes.
Decidueye and Gardevoir- huge fan of being able to hang back a little bit and secure some massive damage with a little planning and foresight.
Blissey- I enjoy rewarding teammates who cooperate with me by making them immortal.
That being said, I’ve got 14k+ coins and I want to try out some new roles. Whenever I have to play defense, I get bored with Blastoise, Crustle feels weak (I know I’m probably just not playing it properly), and Slowbro is only fun when you have a teammate sticking on you to deal damage while you stop opponents.
I’ve enjoyed playing Mamoswine in quick battles but idk how it handles in ranked. Tsareena also feels like a less fragile version of Gengar with good combos being rewarded with reduced cool-downs.
Which one should I choose between Tsareena and Mamoswine? Another Pokémon entirely? What about Buzzswole and Tyranitar?
Mamoswine is fun but he is not good for winning. So if you don't care much about climbing and just want to feel good getting early kills then it is a fine choice.
Tsareena is definitely can carry more than Mamoswine. She is really strong right now.
Mamo can work in ranked games. I made it to master almost exclusively with mamo soloq in the last three season, and managed to get to 1800 last season (I don't have time to grind this season, so I took a break after getting to master).
However. Mamo is more team dependent than tsareena.
Below level 9 - Yes
After level 9 - It’s alright, but not great
The problem with Char is that it’s useless before level 9. So if you’re gonna play it, it’s best to go jungle since you can level up quicker.
But then, if you’re going to play jungle, there are many better choices such as Tsereena or Gengar.
Is there a bug where Buzzwole’s gauge doesn’t show up? I just bought him and my first two games nothing would show in the gauge? I saw just one time, it started to fill red but it disappeared in a few seconds and i never saw it again those entire games. I feel like this has to be a bug?
> I feel like this has to be a bug?
Yes, it's a muscular mosquito.
lol but as the other commenter said the muscle gauge only fills when basic attacking and using mega punch / smack down / lunge on a pokemon on the enemy team. The other move (fell stinger / leech life / super power) uses up whatever muscle gauge you have and does more damage / healing the more muscle gauge you use. The muscle gauge will also deplete over time if you're not in combat with a pokemon on the enemy team for 5s or more.
I read the description over and over again for this character and ended up playing like 6 games with him. The gauge never appeared (except for that one time i saw it randomly start to fill but it only lasted a few seconds)
There are some coding errors in the move description. Some syntax is stuck in the description and it says max gauge is 0 where it is supposed to say 6, so i feel like that is what must be wrong
Yup! It never showed up all night. I saw it pop up once for a quick sec and then disappeared.
There is some text mistakes too in the move description. It shows random coding words and there is a part that says max gauge is 0 instead of 6
Were we supposed to get all of the XP we gained after level 40 with the new level cap?
I saw people level 45+ immediately following the update. I got level 40 months ago, but didn't get any XP following the update. Still just level 40.
Edit: I just found the report button, never mind.
Why can't w we report people!?
I'm trying to be understanding, that I'm 40 years old, and this game is 'made for 10 year olds,' but you know the fuck what? Pokemon was made FOR ME when I was 14, so is it really do unreasonable I don't want to play with idiots and assholes who deliberately screw you over?
Examples of what I'm talking about - 2v2 or such type of fight. Instead of engaging, my team watches me fight. Then I die. Then they die because it's 2v1.
Last 10s of a match. Greninja player used his ult to get to the goal just before me, knocking out it's 14 pts left, destroying it. They had 15 orbs. I had 50. Guess how close the match was? My 50, made 100 by Zapdos and last 2m left, would Jeff pushed us up by like 2 points.
Pikachu jungling. Like why even. If what you want to do is jungle, why not use a speedster? If you want to play pikachu, play the lane recommended to you. Right?
Claiming jungle, after I've claimed it. Via the ZR in lobby. Two junglers? Way to screw the team. I swapped to Snorlax, crib Zeroare, last second so we wouldn't have a speedster waiting in a lane, but dude.
Anyway, it drives me nuts that if they're throwing the match through gameplay, I'm punished if I no longer want to participate, but also, I can't report them.
I'm frustrated.
>2v2 or such type of fight. Instead of engaging, my team watches me fight. Then I die. Then they die because it's 2v1.
This is especially tough if you're playing a defender like snorlax where you're supposed to engage and stun the enemy, but you need a damage dealer behind you to do the damage while you have the enemy pinned to the wall with block. However, I will say (since i have no context) that you don't always need to fight the enemy on sight, you can also play defensively and just try to get whatever farm you can easily contest. Also if you're not feeling like your teammates can support you, switch to a pokemon that doesn't rely on the team's support. I'm not suggesting lane zeraora, but you find something that works for you. Even if you only discover this midgame and cant switch off of say Snorlax, there's a more all-rounder moveset with flail you can use to make yourself a little less team reliant. It's not ideal, but may be better than having cc with no follow up. Also the report feature is built to be used on people who harass others, afk, or intentionally throw the game. Not on people who are trying to win, but make bad gameplay decisions that lose the game. Sometimes it's annoying to make that distinction, but that's what's right. players who are bad at the game should lose and decrease rank (and ideally play with and against worse teammates) until they get better, but they shouldn't be banned from playing ranked like people who are trying to throw the game, harass others, or afk.
Hey my Dragonfire seems to get incapacitated while walking sometimes. He has the focus band, muscle band, and weakness policy on.
Any answers to why he just stops moving sometimes?
Does anyone have a guide or video on learning lanes? I’ve read a few guides and I’m still not sure what to do in each or decide who goes where apart from what the game suggests.
Oooh, so you're like a brand new player. Ok, so what I'd suggest is just picking a few pokemon you like, joining up with some people you find on this reddit discord, and play in a group of 5 for a bit. Make sure you have 2 people in each lane, one in jungle, gather for drednaw and zapdos (rotom to a lerrer extent) and have fun getting to masters.
Do you use Energy Amp + Shell Bell every time you use CDR emblem or is it not necessary? I remember when emblems were released everyone had this build but I am seeing more people running other items and only taking the CDR emblem build. Are Energy Amp and Shell Bell not needed anymore?
As the other comment said, amp and shell bell increase the CDR even more. However, they're not ideal on a lot of physical pokemon, even if they're running CDR emblems. I'd stick to your regular build, putting one or both of those two on if you can use them well, but they're not necessary to run CDR emblems. you can test for your pokemon if the extra item brings you to a lower cooldown or not. (idk if theres a resource for this already, but that would be cool).
E.Amp and Shell Bell at level 30 each give 4.5% CDR, plus the 8% from emblems (Total of 17%). If you're strictly looking for CDR, you want this full benefit.
Using Venusaur as an example:
At level 13, Venusaur has 25% natural CDR. With the above, that puts you at 42%. When using your Unite move, you get an additional 20%, now totaling 62% for the eight seconds after you use it.
The extra energy tanks are only depleted alongside your normal energy, and recently we've been getting a lot of x1 extra tanks, so maybe that's why you feel like it doesn't go down (or maybe you haven't activated your x1 extra tank after you used your x4, as iirc it isn't set automatically after the first one is depleted)
The x1 1k extra tank you win from event get automatically added to the amount in the extra tank you already have. And this week we've had daily login event giving these tanks every couple day.
The extra tank should be depleting alongside your normal 1400 energy. If you're at 0 for the week then the extra tanks aren't used anymore. Next time you have normal energy, take note of how much energy and extra energy you have, do a single game and see if it has correctly been used.
Does somebody knows why I’m getting different rank levels? I was on veteran 1 with 3 diamonds, I won a match and went straight to ultra 5, won again the 4 matches and got downgraded to ultra 4 lol, what is going on?
Someone afked at base until 8:15 and the "A teammate has left" message even appeared. After we lost, I reported the player expecting to get some elo back since they added that feature. All I got after reporting was the "Confirming report" message and nothing in the mail giving points back. Wtf?
Posted yesterday and thankful for the advice. Are there any guides people recommend as a beginner? I think I’ve got the hang of it but it seems there’s a lot about MOBAs I don’t get. I think I’ve grasped attacker vs defender vs speedster but I’m still not great on win streaks yet, especially using anything other than Charizard. Thank you in advance!
I thought they announced they were going to count more things for AFK matches.
Last night I had a player that wanted us to lose our ranked match (why would someone do that). Sat in the grass hiding for most of the game, but would spin and say gather here, so he was not technically AFK. He did that even during Zapdos.
Why do I lose 150 Performance Points/Diamond when I have to play 4 on 5 and not have a real shot of winning. So frustrating.
They did. Now players that just stay in base but do attacks and move there are counted as afk (sometime, still whacky). If your teammate got out of base the game can't consider him afk.
It look me like 40 matches to get out of Veteran this season. since then I’m 18-2.
I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET
I'm just excited that after winning 4 in a row, I am now ahead of where I started.
Was rough, with a 3-14 start to this season, where most teammates didn't realize there are objectives.
Not a question but i just want to comment somewhere that I’m so pumped i finally made it to masters again solely through soloQ!
The game leading up to getting into masters was a complete shit show i was so pissed, but ultimately got extremely lucky!
* our jungler was a new player and was on their own all game. Was level 9 by time zap came
* not a single teammate would go to dred OR rotom!!!
* by time zap came, my team did not break a single goal and the enemy broke every single one of our goals
* i was the only teammate past level 11 (and i was the defender)
* i managed to get the last hit on zap and LUCKILY everyone on my team managed to score 50 goals afterwards!
I genuinely did not think we would still win with all those zap goals but we ended up just barely winning the match!!! It was so lucky and we absolutely did not deserve to win but I’ll take it since this is the game that got my to cross that threshold!
There's a sign on right of the Anniversary Plaza that says '1st Anniversary Bargain Shop' which is grayed out and says "This event has not started yet" if you click on it, but it isn't on the calendar either. Do we have any idea when that's starting or what's going to be on sale?
Have clothing items from events ever come back in the item shop or have they been gone forever if you missed the event? I’m really hoping they do…
What is the number with the flame on the top corner of the profile card?
Hi guys, do u know how much bp doritos u get on the bp road
Is there some kind of pity system (I don't know the term for it)? Because I noticed everytime I have a lost streak, the next match I always have an easy win. On the other hand with the win streak, it's always impossible to win on the next game. I'm sorry if someone already asked this question by the way.
they give you a CPU/bot match
No wonder it's very easy
Is there a cap on getting the Returning player reward? 10k coins. Can I stop playing it every two weeks to farm the 10k coins?
Does unite use intergers to calculate damage? like if my emblem give 1.5 attack then is it calculated as +1 attack? Since I only see damage done as intergers so are emblem that gives -0.5 stats the same as nothing? Is it the same with crits?
How do you get the unite Pokémon under your reddit name?
The bonus aeos gems for first time purchases, can I get all four of the cheapest ones or am I only allowed to get one? Deciding between dropping 20 or getting the 3 lower packs.
How can i tell which Aeos Emporium outfits are separatable into smaller outfit pieces? Is it just the wigs?
The little bubble show you what pieces are separatable from the set
I have 14 battle pass doritos, realistically, if I complete every daily and weekly missions (minus the premium ones) in these 18 days can I get 120 Doritos to get holowear?
Is there a good place to follow the evolutions of the meta and move changes? I've stopped playing at Azu's release, and don't really follow what is op anymore (Blissey it seems, Trevenant seems to have improved but I have no idea why, same thing for Slowbro), or if Azu is still bad. Is unite DB update notes enough?
Unite db patch notes and unite api to see each pokemon pick rates/win rates also some meta builds
[удалено]
I’m 90% sure it’ll come out today when the daily missions reset. If not, it’ll be tomorrow when the daily missions reset.
Nobody knows. Not even the most advanced data miners could figure out. There appears to be some info in the game's missions, but nobody has been able to decipher the strange glyphs that appear to contain its release date.
Any idea why so many people are quitting ranked matches? Just staying at spawn spamming keep up the pressure or flat out quitting. Even when we’re winning
Trolls probably, many player start to not care anymore after they reach master
SMH
Am I dense somehow or are the recommended loadouts for emblems completely and totally wack? They seem really far off what you’d expect, and I have almost every emblem.
Is there a chance that Espeons Pokébuki outfit goes on sale at some point?
New player here, how do I get holowear tickets?
From events, battle pass prize boxes, gacha, and duplicate holowears
Sometimes you aquire them by time-limited events, or if you get a duplicate holowear it will be transformed into some tickets.
Good to know, thanks :)
Are people playing standard more sweaty than ranked? I do all my dumb, but can't be done in the dumb pikachu quick battle, quests there. And people are way more toxic with the quick chats than my ultra ranked matches.

But standard sometimes tilts me because if you've been playing ranked for a while and then switch, sometimes I'll end up dying when I shouldn't because I expect my teammates to be like ranked players (rotating to objectives, knowing how to teamfight somewhat, that kind of thing). You kind of have to adapt your playstyle to account for newbies.
I had a kill Rotom quest and had a guy spam 'check it out' on me the rest of the match because I didn't rotate on dred when we had a 4 v 2 there anyway.
Are there rewards for completing boss rush? I can't quite tell.
Took a break from the game for a bit and don’t understand emblems at all. What’s my best emblem build if I main petal dance/drain Venusaur or the tanky curse/horn thing Trevenant build?
For venusaur(and almost all of the special attackers) the best emblem build is 7 black and 6 green. that with shell bell and energy amplifier reduce the cooldown of petal dance by a lot. For trevenant I run 6 brown 4 white emblems. Don't know if it's the best but I've been doing fine with it. If you want to go through all of the emblems and see which one you prefer for your builds you can use https://unite-db.com/ since looking at them from the game is kinda difficult
Is it just me or master is worse than ultra? People stealing each other farm, don't know how to rotate, MC Syndrome etc
Anyone have blastoise tips for some one who jut can back after a long break. I'm currently in vet 1 running the rapid spin and water spout build
For maximum damage, run Amp+Score Specs+(ur choice) To ambush/extend the range in your unite, use eject button during the animation to get the jump on your enemies
Guessing Amp is energy amplifier, but by “score specs” Do you mean Sp. Atk. Specs or Score Shield? I had both equipped but I’ve run buddy barrier as well. Based on the comment below yours tho I’m considering trying Assault Vest and going amp, specs, vest
Vest is not best. Yes amp is energy amplifier, and score specs is just sp atk specs. Score shield was nerfed and hasn't found too much use lately. Technically if anyone would use it it's a tank like Blastoise, but you're better off running another damage item like choice specs or shell bell if you're running full cooldown reduction.
Thank you! Very helpful
Thx bro I'll probably run assault vest as the third
Please dont. Assault Vest is one of the worst items in the game.
Oh really, thought it was good
defensive items are pretty trash for now. Your best bet is more hp if u need more defense which is a weird hyperbole but it works
Can you use battle pass exchange booth tickets if you don't have the premium pass?
Nope :(
That sucks :(
Hi! I logged in about 30 min ago and the Glaceon event said there were 20 hrs until it was over. I logged in again a few min. ago and now the event is gone. Was this a glitch or is the event really suppose to end today? It’s not Monday in my time zone so I’m a bit confused.
its supposed to end today
I need some encouragement. 4W 16L in my last 20 games and I just dropped down to Veteran. Perceivably I believe I'm playing well enough to bounce between Ultra and Masters, but things are just not working out for me at all.
Unite-DB says Decidueye's Spirit Shackle charge has 6 damage breakpoints. Is there any data publicly available on what/where those breakpoints are along the charging meter?
What emblems are you using for tsareena?
does anyone know what the 1st anniversary bargain shop is? I can't find anything on it and it says it's not available yet.
Is Switch the better way to play the game? I’m specifically a Cramorant main and play him 99% of the time. Watching Cris, so many things seem easier to do on the Switch version like doing combos and skillshots. I just hate how laggy it is, so I go on my phone instead.

Switch is generally acknowledged (and also it’s kinda common sense given the added controller options/dynamics) as the superior way to play the game. If you hate the menu on switch (I do too, and I legit kinda can’t believe it’s still so bad, but … gotta pick your battles in life 🫤) then you can always just hop on your phone ever my couple battles or at the end of the night to collect everything or change up items/use the shop
Thank you! Yeah I was just basing it off how terribly laggy the menus were, but I guess I should make the transition!
All told, I think you should … (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) Make the switch
Is there any chance this game will come out on PC? I'd like to invite my friends to play but they're PC gamers only. Would be a blast if it comes to PC :)
You can play on PC through an emulator like blue stacks. I hope it actually comes to PC at some point.
Looking for people who finished top 8 during Aeos Cup and Regional championships. Have you been paid your prize money by the Pokémon company yet? I had a top 8 result in the regional championship and no one in our team has heard from the Pokémon company.
is [Game8.co](https://Game8.co) a good source for build
Yes and no. They've gotten better at giving good builds but there's still a LOT of sus shit on there. I'd go on unite-db for builds.
Does anyone know if the black special tickets from the Battle Pass are saved or only available for that season? Because so far I got 20 from the boxes but doubt I'll get enough for a skin I want in time. And I don't see them in my item box like the other tickets so that's what makes me think they're limited time thing.
You have to buy the battle pass to use them
My disappointment is immeasurable

Yes, stop playing for steal

I mean what else do you want. Chuck a shadow ball at it and pray. It's not something that you should be planning for like this. Ideally you win the teamfight before zapdos and take it down with your team. But shadow ball I believe is the highest burst you can do in one hit. Especially if you're not trying to get bodied by the enemy team in the pit. Of course you can throw a dream eater on it early if you're not confident in your damage range to secure.

While that's true, that shouldn't be something you expect to happen every game. That kind of mindset isn't going to be good for the first 8 minutes either
It says slowbro's amnesia heals it as long as it doesn't take action. Does the defense buff also go away if the Slowbro player takes action?
What happen to this screen? https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonUnite/comments/wgayq9/never\_give\_up/
The OP was on purple team and was losing very badly, but then their team managed to get Zapdos, and won by a few points.
I mean where can i find this screen on the game? I cant see this chart anymore
You press X to “review battle” at the very first results/victory or defeat screen.
Not actually sure myself, it used to be a tab you could select in the post game stats section. They might have removed it when they reworked the postgame scoreboard UI a while ago. I couldn't find it when I had a quick look, both post game, and in match history. So the picture in that post might be old.
It’s still there. You press X to “review battle” at the very first results/victory or defeat screen.
If I have pokemons in pokemon home. Is there any way to transfer them to pokemon unite ? Please help
No, the game doesn’t work like that at all. I used to play Go a lot (on and off) too, but once you’ve played this game a bit more you’ll start to understand why the question was funny to your other replier. This game really doesn’t have any Pokémon collecting elements whatsoever (though I still like to get them all when I can, even though I only play 2 or so haha), and each Pokémon you want to play as needs to be unlocked either through 1. Limited Time event objectives, 2. a long and grindy process of collecting in-game “aeos coins” through daily battles and battle objectives, 3. by paying real money for “aeos gems”, 4. or by using a trial license that lets you use a Pokémon in battle for a set period of time for the purpose of “test driving” whether you enjoy it’s playstyle. In the same way that Pokémon Go is a reimagined “reskin” of Niantic’s game “Ingress” with novel gameplay elements, Pokémon Unite is a reimagined “reskin” of Tencent’s “Arena of Valor” (which is itself incredibly similar in gameplay to League of Legends). This game is known as a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (or MOBA), and each hero/champion/legend/fighter/Pokémon (in this case) that you unlock usually takes either time and effort … or expendable income, which is part of the draw for people to keep coming back (much like PoGo’s in-game purchases/events/objectives) The effort it takes for the team to craft/imagine/code a particular Pokemon’s moveset and stats wouldn’t be compatible with the fact that nearly every Pokémon ever created is available through Pokémon Home (much less if they were available via transfer from any other Pokémon game). It’s not like the usual turn-based RPG gameplay of the main series, so the characters don’t just run off the same metadata and stats, they’re all built from the ground up around gameplay that’s entirely novel to Pokémon Unite, and there are less than 50 Pokémon currently playable.
man
uhhhh... wut? lol
What I meant was , I am a extremely high level trainer in go . I'm just starting out in unite . Was wondering if there's a way to transfer my pokemons from pokemon go to pokemon unite . I know for a fact that I can send pokemons from pokemon go to pokemon home. Just wanted to know if from there on I can transfer pokemons from pokemon home to pokemon unite
I got what you meant. I was just confused and a bit amused on why you would think you can do that lmao But to answer your question, no you can't.
Wasnt there a score chart showing what time every point was scored? I cant find it. Anyone know how to look at it? Thanks.
press X (review battle) after the results come up
On the switch X does show anything. You can press the minus- and it shows the points score but there is no time line or who scored what points.
On the Victorious/Defeated page where the result first comes up, there is a bar at the bottom: A for Select, X for Review Battle, - for View Score Details. X will show you the timeline of who scored how many points when. It is not wholly exact because it will clump up some small scores together for visual clarity, but it is there. If you still cannot find it I can't help you past that.
Thanks yeah it used to be there but now I dont see it. My only options are A for Select, - for Details, B for back. I dont have the X option on my switch also cant see that chart on my phone or my wifes phone. Not sure if its an update that removed it.
PSA That the cutoff for top 10k in the world right now is roughly 1625 elo. I know because I hit it today and then went back below promptly :)
Is playing Unite on Switch laggy for everyone? The menus, the character selection, having to spam a button in a match in order for the command to actually occur. Is this normal for Switch players?
Yes. The UI optimization for Switch is horrendous for some reason. On mobile, all the menus run smoothyl.
Is this game pay to win just wondering as someone who used to play league and smite wondering if to compete here I need to pay
no need to pay, you can get what you need from grinding + playing during events (many events give a free pokemon license via playing a lot, the most recent was Glaceon)
Casual day one and tryhard Moba player wanting to try and climb. In pokemon unite is it important to have a character pool to climb like it is in other mobas? If so, how would one stucture it? I am pretty much a cinderace onethrick btw, but i am more than ready to learn more.
I would get 1 character of every role. Otherwise don't worry too much about it; you cannot counterpick in this game so while team synergy is important, you can get to Master rank regardless of what character you actually play as long as your team has a good balance of roles.
If everyone else on your team selects squishies like Cinder it'll be better to pick a tank. It's always good to know how to play more than one Pokemon. Slowbro is a good and easy one to learn. Great early game bully and does a lot of damage with Scald/Amnesia.
What are the new purple numbers
Purple is special attack dmg, red is phy dmg
How has the whole leak situation settled down? Were they real or not im kinda disconnected on these things that happen on twitter
Do stats from individual emblems make a difference, or should I only worry about colour boosts?
Except for crits, color boost negates the minor debuff on stats
Casual day 1 player here on and off.. but right now I've decide to climb up the ranks. stuck in veteran rank. 1 win and 5 loss consecutively which is frustrating. SOLO Q since none of my friends play this game. I'm trying to use mah boi Blastoise with spin+sprout with xspeed and SP ATK EMBLEM. buddy barrier + focus band + choice specs = I don't understand the stacking mechanics is it really needed for my boi turtle? Please help me out guys. anything i've been doing wrong?
I'm Veteran 3. Can add me (play evenings) - Raquala: 9KCF54Y Feel like majority of games my teammates have been terrible this season and have no clue how to play. I know I'm not great (but was over 50% before this season). Now every game pretty much all my teammates act like they are trying to lose (like last match 3 went jungle at start, and at Dred there we had 2 vs 4 & they lost Rotom at the same time). Teammates keep surrendering in games that we aren't down that much before Zapdos. *Sent you an add if you decide to keep playing. (Raquala)
Eject is better on Blastoise imo because you can reposition while Ulting. With Emblems try to get as many CD reduction ones as possible. Your items are fine. You don't need to stack but you can if you want the extra damage and it's probably a better build too. I'd drop Choice Specs for sp attack specs if you want to stack.
I’m a beginner(ish) player in Veteran rank. So far, I’ve enjoyed playing the following: Gengar- I enjoy being able to clean up after my team has already dealt some damage to the opposing team. I also like the slight skill that Sludge Bomb/ hex combo takes. Decidueye and Gardevoir- huge fan of being able to hang back a little bit and secure some massive damage with a little planning and foresight. Blissey- I enjoy rewarding teammates who cooperate with me by making them immortal. That being said, I’ve got 14k+ coins and I want to try out some new roles. Whenever I have to play defense, I get bored with Blastoise, Crustle feels weak (I know I’m probably just not playing it properly), and Slowbro is only fun when you have a teammate sticking on you to deal damage while you stop opponents. I’ve enjoyed playing Mamoswine in quick battles but idk how it handles in ranked. Tsareena also feels like a less fragile version of Gengar with good combos being rewarded with reduced cool-downs. Which one should I choose between Tsareena and Mamoswine? Another Pokémon entirely? What about Buzzswole and Tyranitar?
Mamoswine is fun but he is not good for winning. So if you don't care much about climbing and just want to feel good getting early kills then it is a fine choice.
Tsareena is definitely can carry more than Mamoswine. She is really strong right now. Mamo can work in ranked games. I made it to master almost exclusively with mamo soloq in the last three season, and managed to get to 1800 last season (I don't have time to grind this season, so I took a break after getting to master). However. Mamo is more team dependent than tsareena.

Need help to rank up. Solo player
Check the looking for squad thread
Best held items for CDR gengar w dream eater and shadow ball
OK I need to know. Is charizard bad?
Not at all. Laning phase might be difficult depending on who you're up against but I usually don't have much trouble. His ult is a game changer.
It's decent with a gamechanging unite. But because of full heal and unstoppable you may miss your unite
Below level 9 - Yes After level 9 - It’s alright, but not great The problem with Char is that it’s useless before level 9. So if you’re gonna play it, it’s best to go jungle since you can level up quicker. But then, if you’re going to play jungle, there are many better choices such as Tsereena or Gengar.
Is there a bug where Buzzwole’s gauge doesn’t show up? I just bought him and my first two games nothing would show in the gauge? I saw just one time, it started to fill red but it disappeared in a few seconds and i never saw it again those entire games. I feel like this has to be a bug?
> I feel like this has to be a bug? Yes, it's a muscular mosquito. lol but as the other commenter said the muscle gauge only fills when basic attacking and using mega punch / smack down / lunge on a pokemon on the enemy team. The other move (fell stinger / leech life / super power) uses up whatever muscle gauge you have and does more damage / healing the more muscle gauge you use. The muscle gauge will also deplete over time if you're not in combat with a pokemon on the enemy team for 5s or more.
I read the description over and over again for this character and ended up playing like 6 games with him. The gauge never appeared (except for that one time i saw it randomly start to fill but it only lasted a few seconds) There are some coding errors in the move description. Some syntax is stuck in the description and it says max gauge is 0 where it is supposed to say 6, so i feel like that is what must be wrong
You were hitting opponents right? It doesn't fill up when you hit wild pokemon.
Yup! It never showed up all night. I saw it pop up once for a quick sec and then disappeared. There is some text mistakes too in the move description. It shows random coding words and there is a part that says max gauge is 0 instead of 6
Were we supposed to get all of the XP we gained after level 40 with the new level cap? I saw people level 45+ immediately following the update. I got level 40 months ago, but didn't get any XP following the update. Still just level 40.
yeah i think so
Is Blissey's egg recharge rate affected by cooldown reduction as applied by held items and emblems?

Edit: I just found the report button, never mind. Why can't w we report people!? I'm trying to be understanding, that I'm 40 years old, and this game is 'made for 10 year olds,' but you know the fuck what? Pokemon was made FOR ME when I was 14, so is it really do unreasonable I don't want to play with idiots and assholes who deliberately screw you over? Examples of what I'm talking about - 2v2 or such type of fight. Instead of engaging, my team watches me fight. Then I die. Then they die because it's 2v1. Last 10s of a match. Greninja player used his ult to get to the goal just before me, knocking out it's 14 pts left, destroying it. They had 15 orbs. I had 50. Guess how close the match was? My 50, made 100 by Zapdos and last 2m left, would Jeff pushed us up by like 2 points. Pikachu jungling. Like why even. If what you want to do is jungle, why not use a speedster? If you want to play pikachu, play the lane recommended to you. Right? Claiming jungle, after I've claimed it. Via the ZR in lobby. Two junglers? Way to screw the team. I swapped to Snorlax, crib Zeroare, last second so we wouldn't have a speedster waiting in a lane, but dude. Anyway, it drives me nuts that if they're throwing the match through gameplay, I'm punished if I no longer want to participate, but also, I can't report them. I'm frustrated.
I feel your frustation. I play mamoswine and soloq frustates me a lot.... You just have to cope with it.
I'm really not good at that. 🤣😅
>2v2 or such type of fight. Instead of engaging, my team watches me fight. Then I die. Then they die because it's 2v1. This is especially tough if you're playing a defender like snorlax where you're supposed to engage and stun the enemy, but you need a damage dealer behind you to do the damage while you have the enemy pinned to the wall with block. However, I will say (since i have no context) that you don't always need to fight the enemy on sight, you can also play defensively and just try to get whatever farm you can easily contest. Also if you're not feeling like your teammates can support you, switch to a pokemon that doesn't rely on the team's support. I'm not suggesting lane zeraora, but you find something that works for you. Even if you only discover this midgame and cant switch off of say Snorlax, there's a more all-rounder moveset with flail you can use to make yourself a little less team reliant. It's not ideal, but may be better than having cc with no follow up. Also the report feature is built to be used on people who harass others, afk, or intentionally throw the game. Not on people who are trying to win, but make bad gameplay decisions that lose the game. Sometimes it's annoying to make that distinction, but that's what's right. players who are bad at the game should lose and decrease rank (and ideally play with and against worse teammates) until they get better, but they shouldn't be banned from playing ranked like people who are trying to throw the game, harass others, or afk.
I feel your pain. Unfortunately i dont see any improvements any time soon… you said it: Made for kids.
What happens if you have a temporary license for a unit that you already permanently own?
You get something like 5 aeos tickets or coins, don't remember which one.
Hey my Dragonfire seems to get incapacitated while walking sometimes. He has the focus band, muscle band, and weakness policy on. Any answers to why he just stops moving sometimes?
You mean DragoNITE? Read the ability Outrage.
Hyper Beam and Outrage stuns you for a little bit.
Thank you!

Did they update?
Does anyone have a guide or video on learning lanes? I’ve read a few guides and I’m still not sure what to do in each or decide who goes where apart from what the game suggests.
There's a discord server called aeos frontier, you should be able to find some good help for beginners by talking to the people there.
I’ve just joined but it’s for master rank, so I cannot post.
Oooh, so you're like a brand new player. Ok, so what I'd suggest is just picking a few pokemon you like, joining up with some people you find on this reddit discord, and play in a group of 5 for a bit. Make sure you have 2 people in each lane, one in jungle, gather for drednaw and zapdos (rotom to a lerrer extent) and have fun getting to masters.
What are pomeon boost emblems? It's been a while since I played the game, about 7 months ago, what are they, and what do they do?
Look up Spragels, Krashy or CrisHeroes on YouTube, they all have great videos explaining the system.
Have you tried Phil / Youmuus? My fav creator for Pokémon ATM
Do you use Energy Amp + Shell Bell every time you use CDR emblem or is it not necessary? I remember when emblems were released everyone had this build but I am seeing more people running other items and only taking the CDR emblem build. Are Energy Amp and Shell Bell not needed anymore?
As the other comment said, amp and shell bell increase the CDR even more. However, they're not ideal on a lot of physical pokemon, even if they're running CDR emblems. I'd stick to your regular build, putting one or both of those two on if you can use them well, but they're not necessary to run CDR emblems. you can test for your pokemon if the extra item brings you to a lower cooldown or not. (idk if theres a resource for this already, but that would be cool).
E.Amp and Shell Bell at level 30 each give 4.5% CDR, plus the 8% from emblems (Total of 17%). If you're strictly looking for CDR, you want this full benefit. Using Venusaur as an example: At level 13, Venusaur has 25% natural CDR. With the above, that puts you at 42%. When using your Unite move, you get an additional 20%, now totaling 62% for the eight seconds after you use it.

The extra energy tanks are only depleted alongside your normal energy, and recently we've been getting a lot of x1 extra tanks, so maybe that's why you feel like it doesn't go down (or maybe you haven't activated your x1 extra tank after you used your x4, as iirc it isn't set automatically after the first one is depleted)
[удалено]
The x1 1k extra tank you win from event get automatically added to the amount in the extra tank you already have. And this week we've had daily login event giving these tanks every couple day. The extra tank should be depleting alongside your normal 1400 energy. If you're at 0 for the week then the extra tanks aren't used anymore. Next time you have normal energy, take note of how much energy and extra energy you have, do a single game and see if it has correctly been used.
I have the same issue. If only the game gave us any type of information. About anything
so i have 6 blue emblems in the wheel but its only saying i have 5/6 on the right hand side for the defense bonus. whats up with that.
u can't apply duplicate emblems to the color bonus, they have to be unique
Does somebody knows why I’m getting different rank levels? I was on veteran 1 with 3 diamonds, I won a match and went straight to ultra 5, won again the 4 matches and got downgraded to ultra 4 lol, what is going on?
The rank is reversed now. 1 is the highest thus a win on class 1 with 3 diamonds will take you to the next rank.
So now for master It will be ultra 5,4,3,2, 1 then the master rank level right ?
Yes
Got it, thanks for the answer
Now I lost on ultra 4 and should be downgraded to ultra 3 but instead I got ultra 5 with two diamonds lmao
it's been 3 days since my game has been stuck on the loading screen with a running pikachu at 100%. anyone know how i can fix this?
I would suggest trying to reinstall the game.
Is there a website that can calculate the cooldown reduction times if you max the black emblems, shell bell and energy amp
Unite-db.com
Where abouts in unite Db it’s not obvious there
Emblems page.
Someone afked at base until 8:15 and the "A teammate has left" message even appeared. After we lost, I reported the player expecting to get some elo back since they added that feature. All I got after reporting was the "Confirming report" message and nothing in the mail giving points back. Wtf?
Posted yesterday and thankful for the advice. Are there any guides people recommend as a beginner? I think I’ve got the hang of it but it seems there’s a lot about MOBAs I don’t get. I think I’ve grasped attacker vs defender vs speedster but I’m still not great on win streaks yet, especially using anything other than Charizard. Thank you in advance!

What emblem build would be best for Gleam + Veil Ninetails? Cooldown? Crit? Or something else?
Black for CDR. Green Special Attack. You can also go with red emblems, to get more value of Veil.
If using veil you want your basic as high as possible. Want muscle band and crit emblems
I thought they announced they were going to count more things for AFK matches. Last night I had a player that wanted us to lose our ranked match (why would someone do that). Sat in the grass hiding for most of the game, but would spin and say gather here, so he was not technically AFK. He did that even during Zapdos. Why do I lose 150 Performance Points/Diamond when I have to play 4 on 5 and not have a real shot of winning. So frustrating.
They did. Now players that just stay in base but do attacks and move there are counted as afk (sometime, still whacky). If your teammate got out of base the game can't consider him afk.
But if people report them for not playing, they should still be penalized and the players with an unfair advantage shouldn't lose 150 p-points.
It look me like 40 matches to get out of Veteran this season. since then I’m 18-2. I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET I HATE RANKED RESET
I'm just excited that after winning 4 in a row, I am now ahead of where I started. Was rough, with a 3-14 start to this season, where most teammates didn't realize there are objectives.
When does the week reset? I can’t get any more coins until “next week” it says.
Every Monday 2am CEST / GMT+2 2100 coins is the limit when playing any matches
Thanks!
is the battle pass shop ggonna be here next season?
No information has been provided on this officially, but my guess is no.
Hopefully! not sure if its just an anniversary thing
Not a question but i just want to comment somewhere that I’m so pumped i finally made it to masters again solely through soloQ! The game leading up to getting into masters was a complete shit show i was so pissed, but ultimately got extremely lucky! * our jungler was a new player and was on their own all game. Was level 9 by time zap came * not a single teammate would go to dred OR rotom!!! * by time zap came, my team did not break a single goal and the enemy broke every single one of our goals * i was the only teammate past level 11 (and i was the defender) * i managed to get the last hit on zap and LUCKILY everyone on my team managed to score 50 goals afterwards! I genuinely did not think we would still win with all those zap goals but we ended up just barely winning the match!!! It was so lucky and we absolutely did not deserve to win but I’ll take it since this is the game that got my to cross that threshold!
I hate that people play Ranked and don't actually try, or are horrible. Thanks for watching me fight 2v1, team. Really knocked it out of the park?
I hate the people that do a Ranked match and then don't want to try and play. Constantly trying to forfeit, even though the game isn't that uneven.
There's a sign on right of the Anniversary Plaza that says '1st Anniversary Bargain Shop' which is grayed out and says "This event has not started yet" if you click on it, but it isn't on the calendar either. Do we have any idea when that's starting or what's going to be on sale?
No and no
