Discussion Which Pokemon do you never get bored of playing?

33 Upvotes

Meta or not, there’s always that one pick you enjoy every time. It might not be the strongest Pokemon, but somehow it just fits your playstyle. Who's your comfort pick, and why do you keep going back to that?

Discussion Legend rank in under 40 games

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

This was done mostly solo queue. I think I played 3 games with a friend for battle pass missions. The account started ultra 1 and it took 3 games to get to master. So it was 37 games total with 81% wr to get from master's 0 to legend.

I played mostly blaziken and charizard x with a sprinkle of dragapult, lucario, and lapras. My main takeaway is char x, draga, and lapras are free wins right now. So consider playing those if you need to make your final push to legend.

Lmk if anyone needs advice ranking and I'll be happy to help/answer questions.

Guides and Tips Video Guide for Beginners

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

45 Upvotes

I wanted to make this guide for players that are looking to improve. Just to clarify, this is not self promotion. In fact, I'll probably even lose views on my main video because of this.

The reason I am posting my guide series here is because I feel like it's something our community needs. While there's a lot of info out there, some things can only be learned in-game, and sometimes it's just hard to know where to look. All I want in return is for everyone to take what they need and have more fun in their games. That's what's important.

Thank you, and stay awesome out there🔥!

Extra:

Why the Settings I mentioned matter

- Boosted Attack Gauge: Important for certain characters that rely on their boosted attacks to function.
- Advanced Controls: Allows you to target between farm and enemies. Good for securing wild pokemon or farm.
- Automatic Basic Attacks: Reduces the control you have over your character. Plus it feels much better to attack on your own.
- In-Motion Pursuit Mode: Makes you follow people automatically when you basic attack. Once again, it is a hindrance to your controls.
- Scoring from Hold to Press: Although this can be preference, it is definitely much easier to repeatedly attempt a score through tapping rather than holding.

Is assault vest and rocky helmet a viable combo on defenders? It increases special defense, defense, and health pretty significantly, and yet I don’t see very many people using it. Is it useful?

Which is the best support pokemon in the game? Whenever I play a match, I rarely see anyone using a support pokemon, so I'll be using that role. Which one is the most recommended?

I've used Umbreon, but I feel there are better ones

The rules:
1, A Pokemon must be placed in their own designated class.
2, A Pokemon may take up multiple spots, although discouraged.
3, Only one slot at a time.
4, The person suggesting the Pokemon who won will be mentioned.

We're almost there, what's last?

Good luck telling which is which.

Jane! You're early.

Oh this isn't just the usual pleasure of having to farm Tink's passive off of a meat sponge defender or heal bot support. No, this is revenge on the Goodra for bullying me early-midgame. When I get that final evo, it's on sight.

Discussion Is your license journey progress grinded down to a crawl after you complete all the solo challenges? (Image unrelated)

Post image
22 Upvotes

I only have like 20 fights left on the agenda, and it occurred to me that after I get this, there would be no other source of license points other than the battlepass... which gives like 50 points every 2 days. Not exactly a desirable rate. If there another method to get more pokemon?

Discussion What Pokemon got a buff but didn't do anything at all?

Post image
Upvotes

Yes l keep saying this but at this point l starting to understand why people say tinkaton is kinda mid

I feel like every tinkaton buff sucked because ice hammer getting something didn't even change it pickrate, the ability didn't even get a buff it just a late game buff more then a early game buff which It needs, and smack down did have a good buff which made it had some use but l still see more hammer users
The only buff that was good was the unite move but l not really sure if that really changed anything

Basically all l saying is every tinkaton buff timi did wasn't helping at all and to this day still not a great Mon for almost 2 years at this point

What buff was extremely useless and didn't change for your mains?

Welcome to Day 20 of Draft Pick Exercise! This is a series of posts in this sub dedicated to discussing the best picks in specific draft situations. The goal is to hopefully allow community members to help each other understand different matchups and better learn how to pick/ban in draft matches.

You may agree or disagree with each other in the comments. Remember to be civil and respectful.

Discussion EXP SHARE QUESTION

Upvotes

Hi! I came back to Pokemon Unite after a very long break, if I remember right - the last Pokémon they added when I was used to actively play was Rapidash. As I can see, many things have changed and it looks like the game is in a good spot right now.
As a supporter/defender main, I’ve always had EXP Share on any pokémon back then. I know they changed its mechanics, is it still worthy? Which pokemon must have it? I’d be glad if someone could make a list, thanks in advance.

Discussion How many games does it usually take before you stop feeling completely terrible on Dodrio?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I watched a tutorial and tried to follow it, but my games have been pretty miserable. I played Triple Kick + Ability Dodrio. How many games does it usually take before you stop feeling completely terrible on Dodrio?

I understand that I need to focus on squishier targets, but every time I win, it feels like it’s only because the enemy team is distracted by me and not focusing on Kyogre. My damage also feels really low — around 27–36k. I know Dodrio isn’t an attacker, but it still seems lower than it should be.

I know I can’t expect to be good at Dodrio after only a few games, but I’m feeling pretty discouraged. I already have Pokémon that I play well, but they’re starting to feel boring because I keep playing the same ones over and over. I want to learn something new and fun, but right now Dodrio is making me feel miserable.

I made some of these for my Youtube video, but I figured I'd post them here in case anyone might want them. The Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timer, nor the Map Timers are mine, but I figured I'd include them just to spread the info.

I'll be making a lot more for everyone in the future, so please let me know if you appreciate it and what else you'd like to know.

P.S The "Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timers" chart is outdated. I wish I'd looked closer. Do not use the timers for reference. Instead, look at Game8 Guides or ask Google.
