Join the world of Pokemon Unite with these simple Pokemon.
Before you play Pokémon Unite for the first time, you should know that it is a MOBA, which means it takes some time to get good at. You should know some basic things about MOBAs if you’ve never played one before, like how each Pokemon has a different job to do in the game.
Most of the time, Defenders are the easiest Pokemon to play as and Speedsters are the hardest. Being able to make it through battles is very important for your team’s success. On a team, these are the different jobs and what they do.
Zeraora (Speedster)
Many Pokemon that play the Speedster role are hard to get good at, and the part itself can be hard to master. Unite says that Zeraora is “expert” hard, but this Pokemon is really only “intermediate” hard at best. The moves that Zeraora has are very useful, which makes its style of play very forgiving. This makes it great for learning the rules.
Zeraora’s basic attack drains health every third hit, which helps new players handle damage a little better. He has a lot of movement moves that let him get away from enemies and attack them when they’re not in the right place, and his Unite move is easy to hit and does some damage while moving.
Trevenant (Defender)
Because of the way he plays, Trevenant was made to be put to the test by fire. You will probably end up taking damage even if you didn’t mean to. Some of his moves get stronger the more damage you take during them, which hurts your enemies more.
Don’t worry about being told to hurt yourself. All of Trevenant’s moves, like his passive, basic hits, and Horn Leech, heal. In addition, his Unite move gives him a pretty strong shield and heals him faster.
Snorlax (Defender)
When you first start playing, Snorlax is one of the best Pokemon to use because it doesn’t care about taking damage. This big Pokemon even heals faster when it picks up berries on the battlefield, so it’s easy to get your health back even if you get hit.
And that’s not the only way for Snorlax to get better. In the beginning of the game, he can fix himself, and his Unite move hurts and moves enemies around a large area while quickly healing them all. He can heal a lot, and his moves that move foes around make him very useful. With Snorlax, you can start playing right away even if you’ve never done it before and look like a pro. Making enemies mad is all you have to do to beat the game without dying.
Glaceon (Attacker)
With its Ice Shards, Glaceon is the best auto-aim attacker because you can destroy enemies from far away. Icicle Spear and Ice Shard are the best Glaceon builds to start with if you want to use something easy. It does a lot of damage, and Ice Shards will follow your enemies even as they run away.
You can even use Glaceon’s freeze-focused build if you want a more hinderance-focused style that lets your friends use frozen enemies to their advantage. With its Unite Move, Glacieron will make a diamond-shaped ice zone on the ground that will let you move faster and give you more ice crystals. Even if you haven’t learned aiming yet, Glaceon’s high damage and ability to do a lot of different things are great.
Charizard (All-Rounder)
Everywhere Rider Poke-mon like Charizard can do a lot of different things for your team, from being the jungler to fighting in any lane. They do a good job of dealing damage, can move around pretty well, and aren’t afraid to fight strong Attackers.
This is also true for Charizard, which has some strong moves and some useful ones built into some of them. His basic move keeps hurting the enemy and does more damage when they are burned. A lot of Charizard’s moves are also useful, like speeding up your movement, slowing down enemies, moving enemies around, or even healing you. If you’re new to the game, this is a fun and useful first Pokemon to play.
Dragonite (All-Rounder)
With this Dragon-type Pokemon, you can quickly go from “just learning” to “making the enemy give up.” Dragonite is another Pokemon that is great for newbies because it can take a fair amount of damage and still stay alive, plus it does a lot of damage itself.
When you play Dragonite, you should get right up close to the enemy and deal a lot of damage to a wide area. As a bonus, Dragonite’s moves can help you stay alive during the whole thing by lowering damage, stopping enemies, and moving them when you fly in with your Unite move.
Pikachu (Attacker)
People really like Pikachu, which is likely why he was made to be easy to play with when you first start the game. It’s pretty easy to learn how to use the electric mouse Pokemon. Do damage from a safe distance and keep stun-ing your enemies.
Almost all of Pikachu’s powers stun, and the damage it does is pretty severe as well. This makes it a great choice for beginners because you can keep your enemies away by stunning them and causing damage at the same time.
Cinderace (Attacker)
At first, Cinderace is one of a kind because he is very simple to understand. But if you take the time to learn how the pros play him, you can get really good at him. Compare to other Pokemon, Cinderace’s range is pretty long. This makes it good for newbies who want to stay safe while still doing some damage.
Some of this Pokemon’s powers need you to be able to aim well, but its skill shots aren’t too hard to learn. Some of Cinderella’s moves also let him move around a lot, which can help you escape bad scenarios. The best part about Cinderace is that you can attack your enemies with fire from afar once you master his skills.
Eldegoss (Supporter)
When you first start playing Unite, it can be hard to play as a Supporter Pokemon because their job is so different from the others. But Eldegoss can help you do well in your role from the very first game. It’s a great Pokemon to have if you want to be the healer in your group, since many of its skills can heal and buff you and other friendly Pokemon.
Eldegoss can also help your team with his Unite move, which moves enemies out of the way while healing friendly Pokemon. He also has a lot of small moves that slow down and speed up both friends and foes. For those of you who want to be a support for your team, this is a great Supporter Pokemon to start with.
Slowbro (Defender)
Slowbro is a great first character to use because he is hard to kill and has a long range. This way, you can learn how Snow Rider 3D works while helping your team and staying alive.
Being able to stay alive is one of the most important things in MOBAs, so being a long tank makes it hard to die. Slowbro has many moves that can also help your team. Every third basic attack, you slow down an enemy Pokemon. Your self-healing ability in Amnesia is great, and you have useful moves that can move enemy Pokemon around while your team knocks them out.
Blissey (Supporter)
Another Supporter that is a little harder to play is Blissey. But don’t worry—it’s not too hard that you can’t learn how to play her after a few practice matches. As Blissey, you need to learn how to make the best use of your eggs so that they heal your friends, hurt and move your enemies, and give buffs to your allies.
You have to be careful with Blissey’s moves so they work as well as they can, but she is a great Support character to start with if you want to play someone who does more than just heal.
Lapras (Defender)
On top of being very durable, Lapras has a great range of build choices, including options that focus on damage. This Pokemon is one of the most dangerous on the battlefield when its Perish Song and Ice Beam work together. After its third use, Perish Song will instantly kill an enemy whose HP is low enough.
If all you want to do is stay alive, Water Pulse and Bubble Beam together make a great defense build. If an enemy gets hit by Bubble Beam, they will be stuck in a bubble for a short time. Finally, Lapras’ Unite can quickly move partners around the map, so grab a friend and start zooming!
Comfey (Supporter)
If you really need to learn the basics and want to win by following your friends, then Comfey is the best choice. You can attach to a teammate with Comfey and give them different healing and buff benefits.
Each build has a few slightly different utility skills, but both Sweet Kiss and Floral Healing will help your friends stay alive longer. Choose Floral Healing and Magical Leaf if you want to heal, protect, and deal light damage. You can get better at using Sweet Kiss and Grass Knot to slow down enemies and keep them close so that your friends can attack them.
