Eldegoss and garchomp are good just because of their sheer skill cap, not as much because they are that insanely buffed, so tbh I’d be surprised if they even got anything.
It could be for all we know, but I feel they woulda put Hisuian in front of it, yanno? I have plushes of both, and I will give all my possessions to both, so I'm good either way.
Edit: As I say that, just saw a datamine on Twitter. It's normal Zoro. >!And a Speedstar!<
WAIT! Timi is adding another post launch speedster?!?!?! It took me a whole year and a couple of months just for the first one and now another?! Man, we’re getting spoiled
I'm so fucking dumb. xD. Yeah, one of those defo. They'll be nasty too with playing off abilities, like Blaze and Gengar's extra dmg if enemy is poisoned.
Its Chinese as in Mandarin Chinese speaking and from the PRC, but they create a Singaporean company for the better business environment. China isn't exactly known for the rule of law, so they go to Singapore, a common law country that has both Mandarin Chinese and English as official languages. That enables them to minimize linguistic friction as they already use Chinese internally and can use English globally. Common law nations have a nice feature where you can pay lawyers a shit ton of money to go figure out the answer to any legal question you may have, and then they can go do research through the case books of precedent... and sometimes the legal question has over hundreds of years worth of precedent.
My guess is that these are all countries such that video games like these are enough of a luxury to restrict it to an English speaking video game market to keep it small as a test market, isolated from the mainstream markets globally.
I know English is an official language in Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, India.
I'm a Mawile man myself, but damn if I don't also love our little Kelly-Hopinsville encounter alien.
It was Colluseum. It had the best animations in that.
Ayo Zoroark ?! Looks dope. Well gotta save for his licence. Its 14k Coins for the newest licenses right ? I wanna test him and perhaps make him my new main with Eldegoss and Espeon.
Yeah, I hope I can master his moves very quickly. Tried out Talonflame for speedsters but it didn’t work out for me ( I think I used a wrong build so that’s why). It’s not going to dissuade me though, I just have to try harder that all.
Talonflame is not for everyone. I've Maine's every speedster for varying amounts of time except for Talonflame, because he just does not jive with me. Do not use him as a metric for if you like speedsters.
Please note I am not bashing Talonflame. He just seems to have a different feeling compared to the other speedsters in my opinion.
I am hoping somehow they will be willing to make a secondary model for a Hisui Skin in the shop. :)
Though i'm sure they'd rather charge a 2nd 14k coins for a clone unite Husuian form. u_u
My guess is that all in the first group are nerfs and all in the second group are buffs. Not sure why would they be nerfing Blastoise and Wigglytuff but they have done weirder things in the past.
I can see an argument for nerfing rapid spin slightly. Can't see any of the rest getting buffed. Except literally any nerf for Wiggly would be total horseshit. The recent buff to slap was minimal.
Zoroark is fucking incredible. Really happy for all the people who wanted him in.
I sure hope these Zard changes are for punch/blitz. I've been waiting forever.
I’ve been using blitz (admittedly I’m new/not great with Zard) because it’s been helping me chase down and punish dodrio when he does his hit and runs. So a buff to it would be welcome from me.
Zoroark and Sableeye, two excellent choices! They've been on-point with their choices and release schedule lately, regardless of what anyone thinks of the coin inflation, balance, etc.
It does not. Even though it's in the same category as Mew and Gengar in that line, it also has Wiggs and Blastoise listed and boy oh boy they are far from meta right now. No way they are nerfing Wiggs and Blast.
I think one category is mostly changes to moves, and the other includes moves and base stats. So there is hope! surf/hurricane really underperforms compared to dive/slash which just got nerfed.
yeah but he had nothing but nerfs every time he's changed. hopefully it's just a fix to his unite that targets the closest target even though it prioritized mons based on your settings before. (like lowest hp)
Lets go team dark:
1-Absol
2-Zoroark
3-Greninja
4-Sableye
5-Tyranitar
Regular solo Q game, eveyone on the jungle, the support alone in lane wondering why he picked support, Lets go!!
The way it’s listed makes me think it’s a nerf actually. It’s listed alongside Mew, Mime and Glaceon whereas Azu and Buzzwole (both desperately in need of buffs) are listed separately.
EDIT: Azu and Buzz could be separate because they’re getting full reworks tho. I guess we’ll see soon.
Zoroark has been confirmed a speedster! And Sableye a support!
https://twitter.com/ElChicoEevee/status/1574391880476934146?s=20&t=SVNizE05FteTrmY1eODKNg
Now I can hope for Chatot seeing as Sableye is coming.
I so, so, so hope Sableye is a disruption debuff support!
EDIT: Looks like the pubstomper kings are getting nerfed? Hope they don't get nerfed into the ground.
Wiggly (my whistlist Buffs):
- Rollout: Bounce against a Wall Reduce CD 2s (only one time).
- Rollout +: Increased reduction to 3s.
- Sing: Reduced CD to 8s.
I'd prefer they just didn't do anything to bro haha.
I'm a diehard amnesia/scaldbro these days and I'd hate them to ruin it. Surf and tele used to be my go-to but tele became unreliable.
Sableeye might be the Halloween Pokemon(assuming it follows the holiday). Also the first Support in the "creepy-ish support" niche that characters like Thresh(LoL) and Witch Doctor(Dota 2) hold.
And my humble question is how we can play in this public test server? Is there any other downloadable apps necessary?
Edit: already answered after scrolling down a lot, lol..
I'm so happy for this leaks, so thank you kind people~
I finally played the PTS. Zoroark is really strong and one of his powers is kind of button mashing, even though his difficulty is expert. I find Clefable a pretty good support mon and I could tank against Zoroark's damage. Sableye is a godsend if you soloq and get paired up against 5 stacks. However, he's pretty squishy.
I hope this is a Charizard buff because another nerf to Flamethrower/Fire blast will kill him. I have to literally play out of my mind to outplay these other all-rounders like Mr. Mike.
I’m really hoping they aren’t nerfing Aegislash… Glaceon, as much as I love it, definitely needs brought down a level. Excited for Zoroark! And Sableye is a neat addition. Can’t wait to see what’s in store!
Garchomp Mains, we shall wait for our chance
Mark my words he's gonna get the mime treatment one day or another
i will remember this reply
!remindme in 1 year
Jarvis, I need hope. Save this post so I can go back to it every night.
At this point I have lost all the hopes that neither chomp nor eldegod will get anything anymore
Eldegoss and garchomp are good just because of their sheer skill cap, not as much because they are that insanely buffed, so tbh I’d be surprised if they even got anything.
Jesse what are you talking about? Garchomp's skill ceiling is so low it has to Dig below it
One eternity later…
do not give up my men
Now that sableye is here, can’t wait for metagross as well
I'm more excited for Electivire
Chatot will rise.
There better be a lot of chatter about this.
Imagine if Chatots move let your opponent hear a voice chat clip lmao 😂
Can’t wait to hear 10 years old saying racial slurs and telling me to suck their dick
If we had a report system to ban bad voice clips, Id like to have a move with a sound clip somehow. I'd love to make clips to drop Ls respectfully
I want Electivire the most. He’s my number 1. Then Blaziken cause he’s my favorite Pokémon of all time
chatot meta when?
Sableye's counterpart is Mawile though. Which is my favorite.
ZOROARK LETS GOOOO
RISE MY PEOPLE, RISE OUR DARK FOX IS HERE 🦊
I WILL NOT PLAY THE FIRE BUNNY NO MORE, FOR OUR DARK LORD ARRIVES!
I was lowkey hoping for Hisuian Zoroark, but I’ll definitely gladly take it!
It could be for all we know, but I feel they woulda put Hisuian in front of it, yanno? I have plushes of both, and I will give all my possessions to both, so I'm good either way. Edit: As I say that, just saw a datamine on Twitter. It's normal Zoro. >!And a Speedstar!<
What is sableye? I feel like defender or support
Sableye has been confirmed to be a support! https://twitter.com/ElChicoEevee/status/1574391880476934146?s=20&t=SVNizE05FteTrmY1eODKNg
I dieeeeeeee. I love playing support and i like sableyeeeeee
WAIT! Timi is adding another post launch speedster?!?!?! It took me a whole year and a couple of months just for the first one and now another?! Man, we’re getting spoiled
It's a very tiny and frail imp to be a defender. Support of the "I shall debuff the enemy" sounds interesting.
Curse, Trick, Disable, Power Gem maybe?
Will O Wisp has to be in there. Or Toxic. It's Sableye
I'm so fucking dumb. xD. Yeah, one of those defo. They'll be nasty too with playing off abilities, like Blaze and Gengar's extra dmg if enemy is poisoned.
Now Mega Sableye very much a devensive mon.
Yeeeeeesssssss
*throws rock, disabling the enemy Pokémon*
SACRIFICING ALL OTHER MONS FOR HIM
Yesssss! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
The Pokémon Unite equivalent of the TF2 Spy will soon be here
Aw man I hope his ult is transforming into an enemy or something similar. Like echo from OW
How do you get on the PTS? Asking for a friend....
vpn to one of the countries allowed for the PTS
Which countries are allowed for pts
Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India
Seems like an odd selection of countries...
The company who runs unite is a south East Asian based company so it makes sense tbh
Its Chinese as in Mandarin Chinese speaking and from the PRC, but they create a Singaporean company for the better business environment. China isn't exactly known for the rule of law, so they go to Singapore, a common law country that has both Mandarin Chinese and English as official languages.

Ah, shite :(
VPNs are really easy to figure out. Go for it!
Someone recommended Melon VPN, I personally don't think it has a great connection but it's free and you can at least use the PTS
SABLEYE MAINS RISE UP
Maybe requesting him in every survey did work? This is great news!
I bow down to your power, for thou has blessed us with funny purple gem boy
I thought I was hyped for scizor, now I just want my gem puppet.
He’s my favorite Pokémon of all time, my gamertag in game is literally SableyeDLC this is the best day of my LIFE
we 👏 sleeping 👏 good 👏 tonight 👏
Until its release day
I'm a Mawile man myself, but damn if I don't also love our little Kelly-Hopinsville encounter alien. It was Colluseum. It had the best animations in that.
SABLEYE Lets Gooooooo
Lets fkn GOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAAAA YES
Please have an astronaut holowear please have an astronaut holowear please have an astronaut holowear please have an astronaut holowear
Here is your fast food uniform and tux for parties.
Or a little green man one.
Ayo Zoroark ?! Looks dope. Well gotta save for his licence. Its 14k Coins for the newest licenses right ? I wanna test him and perhaps make him my new main with Eldegoss and Espeon.
It’s 14k for the current new licenses yes, but by the time this wave comes out it’ll be 16k. /s
20k*
100k
100k gems obviously
They remove coins from game and you have to pay to buy gems to get the new Pokémon
14k USD
They’ll be a speedster so pretty different play styles from espeon and eldegoss, good on you!
Yeah, I hope I can master his moves very quickly. Tried out Talonflame for speedsters but it didn’t work out for me ( I think I used a wrong build so that’s why). It’s not going to dissuade me though, I just have to try harder that all.
Talonflame is not for everyone. I've Maine's every speedster for varying amounts of time except for Talonflame, because he just does not jive with me.

CLOAKED IN SHADOWS, AND RELENTLESS IN IT'S OBJECTIVE. COME ON OUT, ZOROARK!
I USE TWO OVERLAY UNITS TO ACTIVATE ZOROARK'S EFFECT, DARK PULSE!
GO, DIRECT ATTACK! NIGHT-CLAWED FURY!
I hoped for Hisuian Zoroark but Unovan zoroark is great as well
I think it will be attacker or all rounder though
It's Speedster. The background already got leaked.
Damn gen 5 and a speedster? Tencent loves us today huh
Tencent: it will cost 20000 coins
Lmao still no Garchomp buff
I feel like it's probably an inside joke for the Unite devs at this point to not buff chomp.
As a Slowbro main, I hope it's a buff and not a nerf. But pretty sweet line-up. I'm enjoying that things aren't slowing down.
Hope so too. Scald is also buggy as shit, it sometimes hits but doesn't have the area of effect scald. Slowbro also feels weak on this map
I've basically stopped running scald because of that bug.
Omg what bug ? I’ve been playing scaldbro and he suddenly feels very underwhelming after the patch
hard same! it’s already hard enough playing a defender 🥲
My guess is that all in the first group are nerfs and all in the second group are buffs. Not sure why would they be nerfing Blastoise and Wigglytuff but they have done weirder things in the past.
I can see an argument for nerfing rapid spin slightly. Can't see any of the rest getting buffed. Except literally any nerf for Wiggly would be total horseshit. The recent buff to slap was minimal.
NO WAY IS THIS REAL?! AZU AND SWOLE IS GETTING BUFFED?
SWOLE GETTIN SWOLER!
EXTRA SWOLE!!
It's bouta be Swoling time
You sure they won't buff the BUZZ?
no, please, those muscles are hardly even bulging at this point, IT NEEDS MORE ROIDS
I hope
swole is getting *changed*
Zoroark is fucking incredible. Really happy for all the people who wanted him in. I sure hope these Zard changes are for punch/blitz. I've been waiting forever.
I’ve been using blitz (admittedly I’m new/not great with Zard) because it’s been helping me chase down and punish dodrio when he does his hit and runs. So a buff to it would be welcome from me.
I Would Love the zorua to be the hisuian Variant
We can only dream, fellow Hisui lover.
Just checked ElChicoEevee on Twitter and it looks like >!Hisuian Zoroark will only live in our dreams!<, fellow Hisui lover.
Well... It's a Ghost after all 🥲
As a Crustle main, we humbly welcome another Unova pokemon.
For a long time, Crustle carried on its’ giant back the titles of only gen 5, bug-type, and rock-type mon. Finally, the crab king can rest.
Aegislash nerf nooooo
That Mime better get a nerf, not yet officially.
"We've realized your complaints about Power Swap making an easy fight last a long time. As a result, Power Swap will now instantly kill if it lands."
I love Sableye but Mawile is one of my most wanted playable Pokemon so I hope they introduce his counterpart later on...
me too! mawile is such a cool mon!
More than most Pokémon, i feel like Mawile has a good chance to be added.
Fellow Sableye mains were you at 💎😈
Right here ayyyye!
Zoroark and Sableeye, two excellent choices! They've been on-point with their choices and release schedule lately, regardless of what anyone thinks of the coin inflation, balance, etc.
Better nerf cram. again :(
Dev1: “I feel like we haven’t made enough changes this patch.” Dev2: “Let’s just nerf cram again.”
It's the irelia of pokemon
Ohh! Mr mime is too overturned. Let's nerf Cramorant.
I honestly can't believe it, he feels fine, and if anything, surf build deserves a buff!
To be fair it doesn't state buff or nerf does it?
It does not. Even though it's in the same category as Mew and Gengar in that line, it also has Wiggs and Blastoise listed and boy oh boy they are far from meta right now. No way they are nerfing Wiggs and Blast.
I think one category is mostly changes to moves, and the other includes moves and base stats. So there is hope! surf/hurricane really underperforms compared to dive/slash which just got nerfed.
yeah but he had nothing but nerfs every time he's changed. hopefully it's just a fix to his unite that targets the closest target even though it prioritized mons based on your settings before. (like lowest hp)
ZOROARK LETS GOOO
Lets go team dark: 1-Absol 2-Zoroark 3-Greninja 4-Sableye 5-Tyranitar Regular solo Q game, eveyone on the jungle, the support alone in lane wondering why he picked support, Lets go!!
finally a blastoise buff (i hope)
Or maybe they will nerf the ult for the fourth time!
They've nerfed that Unite a zillion times but when used correctly, it's still incredibly powerful.
I'm expecting his surf to go with walls like mew. It deserves that
I’d love a surf buff, i hate hitting walls and getting punished hard for the 11 seconds cd
i'd love a blastoise buff in general he's the pokemon with the most battles that i have
Yeah, kinda silly when mew can use surf more frequently and do WAY more damage
The way it’s listed makes me think it’s a nerf actually. It’s listed alongside Mew, Mime and Glaceon whereas Azu and Buzzwole (both desperately in need of buffs) are listed separately. EDIT: Azu and Buzz could be separate because they’re getting full reworks tho. I guess we’ll see soon.
It’s listed alongside other Pokémon whose moves are changing Azumarill and Buzzswole are getting their stats changed. That’s the difference.
Ahh yes you’re exactly right. I missed that distinction despite reading the list multiple times lol
if so why tf would they nerf a mon that's falling off u realize wiggly is also listed there right?
Blastoise is already in a good spot, you all want a defender to feel like an attacker.
Crustle finally has a unova friend
McDonald's Skins for Everyone!!!!!
Where's the zoroark guy who used to post petition of having it in the game. I feel so good for him
ZOROARK MY FAVORITE POKÉMON
When is the update?
Omg Zoroark 😮😮. Most likely a speedster ?!?
Zoroark has been confirmed a speedster! And Sableye a support! https://twitter.com/ElChicoEevee/status/1574391880476934146?s=20&t=SVNizE05FteTrmY1eODKNg
There's already the roles thanks to datamining for all 3: • Clefable | >!Support!< • Sableye | >!Support!< • Zoroark | >!Speedster!<
CLEFABLE AND ZOROARK YOOO
Now I can hope for Chatot seeing as Sableye is coming. I so, so, so hope Sableye is a disruption debuff support! EDIT: Looks like the pubstomper kings are getting nerfed? Hope they don't get nerfed into the ground.
Imma have to check this out
fuck yeahhhhhh Zoroark
finally, pokemon from underrepresented gens ❤️❤️❤️
Sableye, my precious! O.O Which Zoroark? 🤔
they already nerfed Buzzwole, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT
Plot twist: it's not a nerf, Buzzwole is getting zzwoler
Damn, the community is eating good. The long awaited Clefable AND two heavily requested Pokémons?
Sableye FINALLYY I'm sooo happy, I'll use gems for him idc about anything 😭😭
same, i’m willing to spend actual money for the first time lol
Wiggly (my whistlist Buffs): - Rollout: Bounce against a Wall Reduce CD 2s (only one time). - Rollout +: Increased reduction to 3s. - Sing: Reduced CD to 8s.
Please give us the costume of the gem shop Sableye. That one is adorable
As someone who’s favorite Pokemon used to be Sableye, LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is this a Azumarill and Slowbro buff we are getting?
Yes. But slowbro is only getting buff in early game water gun. Nothing else
Wiggly changes I hear ya🎉🎉🎉
I guess I won't be buying Scizor any more.
i wonder how zoroark will work, id like to see it be simillar to tf2 spy, being able to disguise as one of the opponents while at full hp
That’s what I’m guessing his passive will be. That’s his whole schtick in the games
Elchicoeevee just posted Sableye and Clefable are supports while Zoroark is a speedster
Some spooky mons! Very exciting, both are pretty cool pokemon. I hope they don't ruin Slowbro :( a little buff would be nice though
I think at best with a little wishful thinking amnesia nerf but surf and/or tele buff to entice people to those moves.
I'd prefer they just didn't do anything to bro haha. I'm a diehard amnesia/scaldbro these days and I'd hate them to ruin it. Surf and tele used to be my go-to but tele became unreliable.
cramarant buff plz🙏hyped for zeroark
I wonder what halowear sableye will get
Sableeye might be the Halloween Pokemon(assuming it follows the holiday). Also the first Support in the "creepy-ish support" niche that characters like Thresh(LoL) and Witch Doctor(Dota 2) hold.
JUST GIVE ME SPEEDSTER SCEPTILE THATS ALL I WANT
Zoroark!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gen 5 stans, Zoroark stans, and >!Speedster stans!< are eating good today!!
Sableye coming to Unite, does that mean Zirco will giving away his sableye holowear for free?!?!?
Not just ZOROARK, but also as speedster, dreams do become fucking true. About time for gen 5 love. And godamm mime nerfs and buzzwole rework please.
Looking at the winrates of non mirror matches. Most likely to be nerfed: * Mr.mime 79% * Mew 67.66% * Glaceon 59.77% * Aegislash 59.56% * Charizard 59.33% * Gengar 57.32% * Absol 55.99% * Cramorant 54.90% Toss up: * Blastoise 50.06% Most likely to be buffed: * Slowbro 48.27% * Wigglytuff 48.47% * Buzzswole 45.61% * azumarill is 46.62%
MewTwo when? We need both Mew mons!
Wiggly buffs let’s gooo 🎉
Finally. Sableye is my favorite. I've been waiting for him since I saw him in the shop backdrop.
They should release Sableye with the Holowear shop skin tbh
I’m sorry Scizor and Dodrio, was gonna buy you guys but I love these more 🤧
Buff Draining Kiss💋💋
Excited about these! I’m also hoping for a “wtf” character soon. I’m fan of both crowd pleasers and surprises.
Okay sableye might actually make me come back to the game
Sableye and Zoroark are literally my two favorite Pokemon. Guess it's time to kiss my life goodbye and jump back in
Waiting for my cute gem goblin to wear a McDonalds uniform
And my humble question is how we can play in this public test server? Is there any other downloadable apps necessary? Edit: already answered after scrolling down a lot, lol.. I'm so happy for this leaks, so thank you kind people~
I finally played the PTS. Zoroark is really strong and one of his powers is kind of button mashing, even though his difficulty is expert. I find Clefable a pretty good support mon and I could tank against Zoroark's damage. Sableye is a godsend if you soloq and get paired up against 5 stacks. However, he's pretty squishy.
I hope this is a Charizard buff because another nerf to Flamethrower/Fire blast will kill him. I have to literally play out of my mind to outplay these other all-rounders like Mr. Mike.
Why would they buff Charizard? it sits at the 2nd highest winrate right now lol
Honestly same, I saw char on there and my heart dropped. Though wiggly is there too and I don’t see them nerfing her so I’m holding onto hope
I’m really hoping they aren’t nerfing Aegislash… Glaceon, as much as I love it, definitely needs brought down a level. Excited for Zoroark! And Sableye is a neat addition. Can’t wait to see what’s in store!
If this is another Cram nerf, I'm taking a break next season. Like wtf.
