Are you into Pokemon Unite? Check out our 8 tips on how to get better. Take your game to the next level and defeat the competition!
Team Composition
Pokémon Unite has in-game tips to help you pick a balanced team comp, but knowing your role goes beyond that. Understanding how to distract players, tank damage, assassinate enemies, score points, and defend comes down to knowing your purpose on a team.
Certain Pokemon in Unite are better at dealing damage, and some are better at CC (aka. crowd control). Some characters are better at tanking (absorbing) damage, and others are better at preventing it.
It’s best to play a variety of characters, learn what options are available, and then choose to specialize in what feels right to you.
Another part of team composition in Pokémon Unite is understanding that you are on a team. Don’t go it alone. Work together to outsmart and outplay opponents.
Advanced Controls
This one seems pretty simple and straight forward, but you might be surprised at how many people do not realize that there are advanced control settings. These settings can change how targeting and aiming works. Setting up advanced controls can also help you easily select specific targets, like npcs or players.
Item Upgrades
Pokemon Unite has a plethora of upgradeable items to equip. Some items increase your critical chance, while others can even teleport you short distances. Be sure to read up on the different items available, and which items might be best for your favorite characters.
Use Jump Pads (and teleport)
Mid to late game unlocks Jump Pads in Pokemon Unite. You can use these pads to quickly jump back into the action.
But did you know that you can also recall to base? Recalling will teleport you back to base, which comes in handy if used at the right times (aka. killing opponents, scoring, and then recalling).
Understand Drednaw, Zapdos, Rotom, and other NPC Pokémon
Knowing what each NPC Pokemon does, and which ones provide buffs makes a huge difference. Knowledge of the game and the map will increase your ability to make decisions and even shot call for your team. Communication is key to winning more challenging matches.
Know your Pokemon character
Knowing your specific character is very important. You should of course understand your characters moves and purpose, but you should also know your match ups. Who can you beat? Who counters you? How much damage can you deal? What can you survive? This sort of game knowledge only comes from playing and experimenting with your chosen Pokémon in Unite.
How to score goals in Pokémon Unite
I’m not talking about which button to press. You need to know when to score, and how to score optimally. Look for opportunities to over-score. Dunk more points than the minimum whenever possible, and don’t break an easy goal for no reason.
Of course scoring and breaking goals can also provide vision, which leads me to our next tip.
Keep an eye on the Mini Map
Watching the map in Pokemon Unite is the single most important tip that everyone should know. The map will inform you of friendly and enemy player positions. It will show you available NPC’s, best paths to take, open lanes to score in, and so much more. Even understanding that no vision can provide information. Understanding where enemies are or are not; where they can be and where they cannot be. The map is a key tool in any MOBA, and especially in Pokemon Unite.
