Best Pokémon in Pokémon Unite
While Pokémon Unite boasts a diverse roster, some Pokémon stand out due to their superior performance. Here are the top picks to watch out for:
Blissey

Blissey is widely regarded as the top Support Pokémon in Pokémon Unite. Its ease of use makes it perfect for newcomers. With the Soft-Boiled ability, Blissey can rapidly heal teammates, while its buffs increase ally attack speed and movement. Despite being a healer, Blissey is durable and can absorb significant damage. Even with the Helping Hand cooldown increased from 8 to 9 seconds, it remains a top choice in competitive play.
Darkrai

Darkrai is a prime Speedster in Pokémon Unite, known for its remarkable speed that allows it to swiftly navigate the battlefield. However, its fragility means it can't take much damage. To compensate, Darkrai boasts powerful attack abilities and the Hypnosis skill, which can put foes to sleep. Mastering Darkrai requires constant movement and avoiding prolonged engagements.
Galarian Rapidash

Another Speedster, Galarian Rapidash, shares Darkrai's lower health pool but focuses on burst damage and self-sustain. If Darkrai's playstyle doesn't suit you, Galarian Rapidash's Pastel Veil ability, which grants immunity to hindrances, might be more your speed.
Mimikyu

Mimikyu is a versatile All-Rounder with a balance of offense and defense. Its Disguise passive allows it to negate the first hit taken, shifting into Busted Form to mark attackers with a revenge mark. Approaching marked enemies increases Mimikyu's speed and damage against them. Mastering Disguise is essential for leveraging Mimikyu's counterattack potential.
Miraidon

Miraidon is an exceptional Attacker in Pokémon Unite. Its Hadron Engine passive creates an Electric Terrain that boosts its move damage by 30% and allies' by 10%, while also enhancing ally goals' healing and shielding and reducing enemy goals' by 30%. Though challenging to master, Miraidon's powerful abilities make it a top contender.
Umbreon

For those looking to play as a Defender, Umbreon is an excellent choice. It boasts high defensive stats and can shield allies while maintaining its own survivability. Its passive ability prevents it from being controlled, and the Mean Look ability creates a zone that traps and slows enemies.
Tinkaton

Tinkaton is another outstanding All-Rounder, excelling in both offensive and defensive roles. Its aggressive playstyle suits various team compositions, and its crowd control through the Unite Move can briefly incapacitate foes. Tinkaton is also beginner-friendly, making it an ideal choice for new players.
To excel in Pokémon Unite, it's essential to understand and master the abilities and playstyles of these top Pokémon. Whether you're playing casually or competitively, these selections can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
Pokémon Unite is available now on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch.
