Top 5 Pro Tips for Pokémon Unite on mobile
Pokémon Unite mobile version is now here and is ready to challenge you to become your best, like no one ever was. Becoming the best requires a lot of effort in learning the game, improving your skills, and mastering the use of your Pokémon.
You may have already enjoyed the fun, but it’s a long road ahead to become a master. Don’t fret, here’s a few basic things that you might want to know first in your journey to becoming a Pokémon Unite master.
1. Learn from the tutorials
Uh, tutorials, who plays them right? Well, you might have to hold on that thought in Pokémon Unite. As the game has its own unique take on the usual MOBA genre, it’s really rewarding to complete the tutorial lessons in order to quickly understand and learn the game’s new mechanics. Want to know how to score points effectively, properly control your Pokémon or even how to win a game? Tutorials will have all the answers that you need.
2. Be sure to enable advanced controls and Lock-On Icons.
As it is a 5-on-5 battle, focusing on a single target can get tricky. That’s where target locking comes into play. Lock-On Icons helps you focus not just your attacks but also skills on priority targets such as enemy Pokémon especially when things get chaotic. UIsing advanced controls, together with lock-on also helps when contesting objectives as you can easily choose the target priorities of your basic attacks, especially when attempting to steal Rotom, Dreadnaw and Zapdos.
3. Be sure to secure the buffs from special wild Pokemon
Wild Pokémon in the jungle not only grant additional points but also special effects to your Pokémon — increasing its attack capabilities. Wild Pokémon Bouffalant provides the Orange Jungle buff which adds a slow effect to your Pokémon’s attacks, while Wild Pokémon Ludicolo gives the Purple Jungle buff which increases your Pokémon’s damage when attacking targets that are low on HP. These buffs work great when attempting to gank or chase enemy Pokémon, making sure that you score the take down and earn those precious points.
4. Watch out for major Wild Pokemon in the map
Bouffalant and Ludicolo aren’t the only wild Pokémon to watch out for in Pokémon in the game as there are also Rotom, Drednaw, and Zapdos. Controlling Rotom makes scoring on a goal much easier, taking down Drednaw provides a shield buff, while defeating Zapdos earns your team 20 points instantly plus makes scoring in goals cast instantly. Taking advantage of these boss Wild Pokémon could easily change the tides of battle.
5. Adjust Your Skill Path
Each Pokémon in the Pokémon Unite roster comes with a specific set of skills unique to each and every one of them. However, you don’t have to stick to just one path all the time. Each unique skill has a different branching path when upgrading, and each effect is also different so be sure to check them out too and adjust your build depending on what your team needs.
Are there a lot of mobile Pokémon on the enemy’s side? Try leveling up your skills for more crowd control. Are you looking to deal damage quickly? Go for the path that gives you more mobility so you can easily go in and out of fights. No skill build has to be the same every single game.
