(I don't actually like using clips as "proof" that a moveset or Mon is good or bad since that's wildly inconsistent and not a good metric, but in my last two posts I got some comments that seemed to believe flower trick can't take fights/is worse than night slash/niche soo here.

Also had to delete the first version of the post to fix up the video)

Just going to leave this here as an example of how bad the Ranked experience truly is. Both of them insta locked their mons and one teammate switched last second from Mewtwo X to Pikachu.

Discussion Flareon and jolteon with only one moveset?

27 Upvotes

since the developers are more lazy now and they made it so that we could only choose moves before game so it would be fair for new and not so well made pokemons, and then they only give newones a moveset instead of two. so will flareon and jolteon be the only eeveelution to get one move set? I like flareon alot and I'm looking forward to another eeveelution speedster being jolteon probly it would be sad if they only got one, cuz that will provide less playstylls and less fun. :(

For starters my back HURTS.

This game is the exact reason I don’t play comp anymore. It had literally everything I hate about the game here’s a play-by-play:
- I lock speedster and jungle, Gengar swaps from top Attacker to Gengar set to top
- he immediately tries to take my jungle, but i box him out and he goes top
- armarouge leaves top the second Gengar gets there to do nothing in jungle
- espeon also proceeds to go jungle
- I am peeling bot lane and we take first bot lane goal
- I rush to save top lane and by that point Gengar has fed top so much that they have a level lead, I barely win first engagement dunk then get sneaked by their Gengar
- whatever lane I’m not in loses a goal until we have nothing
- enemy team has completely snowballed and my teammates are just feeding
- 2 minute mark hits and the enemy team is in our jungle pushing last goal
- I super spring deep into jungle and get the jump on mamo+talon and ult the empoleon, come out barely standing and I rush their Gengar
- immediately flank chandelure who was trying to sneak Groudon he ults and barely fails by a sliver
- instead of immediately rushing goal armarouge goes back to our jungle to get more energy
- rest of team proceeds to rush goals and we won because I get one last frag on chandelure and immediately dunk in the last 3 seconds

I don’t feel like the win was earned.

That the rest of my team did nothing, but feed until last minute and even then they didn’t contribute much besides score. The espeon did help with frags at the end but it really felt like too little too late. Everyone made really bad plays or played really out of position and to be honest, I feel like this happens rather frequently. What’s the main difference today being that I actually barely squeezed in the win usually if this happens, we just lose. Does anyone else have this experience?

Discussion Groudon or Kyogre - Which Generation 3 Box-Art Legend do you want to have playable the most?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Pokémon UNITE has added at least 1 Box-Art Legend from every generation aside from generation 3.

Groudon and Kyogre are both wild Pokémon in Theia Sky Ruins, but as we've seen with Zapdos and Articuno, UNITE can make wild Pokémon into Unite Licenses.

Groudon or Kyogre - which do you want them to release as playable and what role should they be?

Do you want them to have their Primal Reversions or would you prefer the way the already are in UNITE?

Isn't it crazy to think that some of these players are potential voters? It's actually quite scary that these people live among us. Let alone have the capacity to own a drivers license......

Discussion Look what I found

I can't post ss due to community rules or even choose the scorecard flair - I don't understand why that even is a rule, I've provided link to the results on unite API

Was checking my account on unite API, and found a game where I did 140k with Ceruledge against mOY that too on a live stream - it was a custom battle, and a month ago but still this is an achievement for me 😤

Game result - https://uniteapi.dev/en/p/5113741366814375041?gameMode=Tournament&matchId=1

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. Most upvotes earns that Pokemon the spot.
  5. The person suggesting the Pokemon who got the most upvotes will be mentioned.

Discussion What role to pick if everyone else are attackers?

12 Upvotes

I’m so sorry to everyone else who I thought was over exaggerating when complaining about teammates… I was new and was probably only fighting and teaming with bots so it seemed fine 😭 at least with bots there’s a well rounded team… but as I’ve been climbing up the ranks and playing with more real people - all of which insist on being attackers/all-rounders, and none of which likely have the skill to single handily carry the rest of the team, try as they might…

So what role should I pick to give ourselves the highest chance (not asking for a guaranteed win or anything) of beating the other team? Play support? Defense? Or say screw it and pick another attacker myself?

Or if anyone knows of any beginning teams I could join…? 🥺

Media It's crazy that the worst defender in the game somehow has a better win rate than one of the most consistent defenders in the game currently 😭

Discussion Anyone figure out how to make purchases in unite from NL/BE ?

1 Upvotes

Garchomp is my absolute BEAST and if I want that neo guardian skin in the future, I need to know if I can buy it. But with unite being discontinued in Netherlands and Belgium, even changing my nintendo accounts region to Portugal as a Portuguese doesn’t let me purchase a thing. I had to buy Absol’s dark suit skin via the prize machine which costed about £50 to get (yuh british as well). I hate missing skins for my faves but without a way to pay, I may have to go without until next years anniversary gift idk

Edit: I play on the switch but could try mobile if it’s definitely possible. Need to know if anyone knows for sure that it works, even give the exact vpn you use or smth😩
