Pokemon Unite tier list explained
Pokemon in Pokemon Unite are divided into five categories: All-Rounder, Attacker, Defender, Speedster, and Supporter. Despite this, there are still a number of Pokemon that stand out against the rest.
Based on our experience with Pokemon Unite, here are the top tier Pokemon for the game, along with their categories:
- Tsareena - All-Rounder
- Pikachu - Attacker
- Snorlax - Defender
- Absol - Speedster
- Hoopa - Supporter
Below are five Pokemon categories, which includes more information about each other. Also, remember that these are subjective, which means you may have different preferences.
All-Rounder tier list for Pokemon Unite
Pokemon Unite, which includes all-round offense and endurance, has a strong relationship with each other, allowing them to be confident fighters.
Charizard, Machamp, Dragonite, Azumarill, Tyranitar, Garchomp, Aegislash, Tsareena, and Buzzwole are four All-Rounder Pokemon in the game. After completion, Charizard, Machamp, Dragonite, Azumarill, Tyranitar, and Lucario, Garchomp, Aegislash, Tsareena, and Buzzwole have all purchased Charizard. Charizard, Machamp
As of September 2022, here is the tier list for all-Rounder Pokemon in Pokemon Unite:
| Pokemon | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tsareena | Meta changes has caused Tsareena to move about the rankings, but the recent one has ensured its place as the top All-Rounder. This is all down to the changes to Stomp, which helps maintain Tsareena''''s health and provides crowd control. Queenly Majesty - Tsareena''''s ability - continues to reduce any effects inflicted on Tsareena. | |
| Buzzwole | It''''s important to pay attention to the Muscle Gauge mechanic and have the right item setup when playing as Buzzwole. If you do this correctly, you''''ll find yourself with an incredibly powerful All-Rounder who can destory the opposing team''''s forces. | |
| Lucario | Lucario''''s brilliant Mobility allows it to keep the top All-Rounder slot, because this stat, when combined with moves like Extreme Speed, allows it trap opponents in a series of powerful attacks. Don''''t forget about Bone Rush which makes it easier to perform other moves. | |
| Aegislash | While Aegislash is a great All-Rounder, you will mostly need a good amount of practise to unlock its full potential. This is because its moveset and attack mechanics may take you a while to learn, but, once you know what to do, you''''ll find that Aegislash can be true offensive force, which can be played in any lane. | |
| Dragonite | Dragonite''''s main strength is its Unite Move, which can cause a great deal of damage to those caught by it. Dragon Dance is also a great choice for its moveset and can help it avoid attacks if needed. | |
| Tyranitar | Tyranitar remains a powerful All-Rounder despite the recent changes to its meta. This Pokemon has a variety of playstyle, so feel free to experinment with its moves. Just make sure you take advantage of its high defence! | |
| Machamp | While Machamp is weak during the early stages of a match, it gains access to a selection of useful buffs once levelled up. Machamp also has a strong basic attack that allows it to continue dealing good damage while you wait for its main attacks to recharge. | |
| Charizard | Updates have ensured that Charizard has the ability to properly stand alongside the other All-Rounders. This doesn''''t, however, mean that you shouldn''''t evolve it as quickly as possible to unlock moves like Fire Punch. | |
| Azumarill | The saddness of Azumarill is that its perfect for battling one-on-one and for the Jungle Lane, which means it doesn''''t hold much weight in a match''''s endgame. This means, despite its ability to deal critical damage, you might not get the chance to ultise this power. | |
| Garchomp | Once a good contender in the All-Rounder class, Garchomp has slipped down to the bottom spot as new Pokemon, like Buzzwole, have taken the spotlight. If you do want to play as Garchomp, make sure you evolve it as quickly as possible so you can access its full moveset. |
Attacker tier list for Pokemon Unite
Even if they have relatively short endurance, Attacker Pokemon in Pokemon Unite are capable of dosing a lot of damage to their opponents - whether in close combat or at a distance.
At the time of writing, there are six Attacker Pokemon to choose from: Venusaur, Pikachu, Mew, Espeon, Gardevoir, Glaceon, Greninja, Sylveon, DecidueyeCinderace, Cramorant, and Duraludon. Pikachu is one of the Pokemon Unite licenses on offer.
As of September 2022, here is the Attacker tier list for Pokemon Unite, which goes from highest to lowest:
| Pokemon | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pikachu | Despite the newcomers, Pikachu has retained its spot as the best Attacker in Pokemon Unite. This is in part due to Pikachu''''s ability to Stun opponents, before defeating them with its high damage output. Pikachu''''s Unite Move has also been made more powerful thanks to recent meta changes. | |
| Mew | Mew only misses out on the top spot, because, to truly use its power, you need to put a lot of training in. This is because its Move Reset mechanic can be very unpredictable, so you need to be able to adapt to which moves your given. Still, Mystic Mirage makes its a great Attacker for any team. | |
| Alolan Ninetales | Aurora Veil makes Alolan Ninetales can excellent choice for any team, because it brings damage to foes and buffs to allies. Alolan Ninetales can also freeze enemies in their tracks and, in doing so, provides you with the chance to score goals or knock a Pokemon out. | |
| Gardevoir | Gardevoir is an Attacker built for the endgame, so make sure you level this Pokemon up as quickly as possible. Changes to the meta have, thankfully, made this Pokemon early game easier without descreasing its power. If you''''re a fan of AoE attacks, then Gardevoir is the perfect choice. | |
| Glaceon | If you don''''t have Alolan Ninetales, then Glaceon is the next best thing. It has the ability to freeze foes and Snow Cloak allows Glaceon to block crowd control moves. This means you can use Glaceon to keep your team together, while attacking your opponents with ice attacks. | |
| Cinderace | Cinderace''''s power comes from its ability to deal long range attacks to single targets, including burning them. This means you can easily pick apart the opposing team before they even reach you. Just make sure you evolve into Cinderace as quickly as possible, because this Pokemon does have a weak early game. | |
| Venusaur | Giga Drain and Petal Dance give Venusaur the ability to heal itself and, through this power, it can survive many a tough situation. The trick to this Pokemon''''s strength is ensuring you level it up as quickly as possible during the early game by focusing on wild Pokemon. | |
| Greninja | Greninja''''s moves - Double Team and Smokescreen - help it escape dangerous situations. The downside, however, is that this Pokemon only comes into its power during the later stages of a match after you''''ve unlocked its full moveset. Just make sure you pick your targets carefully! | |
| Delphox | With the power to deal a great amount of damage from a distance and a fast charging Unite Move, Delphox is a powerful Pokemon in the right hands. You do need to level it up quickly and ensure you''''re not pinned down by the enemy team, but Delphox can turn the tide of a match as it can easily take on Zapdos thanks to its Unite Move. | |
| Sylveon | Sylveon can easily move between being an attacker to a defender when needs be. It''''s health stealing abilities are well matched if its offensive attacks, so you easily keep yourself alive even in the midst of battle. We do recommend giving this Pokemon an item to increase its movement speed to make Sylveon even more powerful. | |
| Decidueye | Annoyingly, Decidueye''''s chance of being the ultimate sniper in Pokemon Unite is hindered by its low Mobility. If you do choose to play as Decidueye, however, you''''ll find that moves like Spirit Shackle can easily knock out Pokemon from the opposing team. Just make sure you keep your distance! | |
| Espeon | Despite a good moveset, Espeon is the weakest out of the Attacker Eeveelutions. The combined power of Psyshock - which can stun enemies - and Psybeam does cause a heavy amount of damage to the opposing team. Magic Bounce does help Espeon avoid hinderances, but you still need to keep an eye of your surroundings to avoid being trapped. | |
| Duraludon | Changes to Duraludon''''s meta have, sadly, lowered the amount of damage this Pokemon can do. It has retained its ability to deal a good amount of damage over large areas and Stealth Rock can still be used multipule times before its cooldown has been activated. | |
| Cramorant | Here we find the once powerful Cramorant. Various meta changes have seen Cramorant fall to this spot, but, despite this, Surf and Whirlpool can still disable enemies. |
Defender tier list for Pokemon Unite
Defender Pokemon, as the name implies, are designed to protect their fellow teammates from attack in Pokemon Unite.
Three Defender Pokemon on offer - Blastoise, Slowbro, Snorlax, Mamoswine, Crustle, Trevenant, and Greedent - are at the moment of writing, and Snorlax is one of the Pokemon Unite licenses you can choose from after finishing the tutorial.
As of September 2022, here''ll be a Pokemon Unite Defender tier list, and, please remember, this is subjective.
| Pokemon | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Snorlax | Snorlax remains one of the best Defenders since the release of Unite! This is due to its high Endurance stat, along with the moves Block and Yawn, which can be used for both defensive and offensive purposes. | |
| Greedent | Greedent''''s mechanics may take you a while to master, but, once you''''ve learnt the ways of this squirrel, you''''ll have a powerful Defender on your hands. Stuff Cheeks allows you to heal yourself, while Berry Belly Flop and Belch combine for two powerful attacks. | |
| Trevenant | Thanks to meta changes, Trevenant has risen up the ranks! It has an excellnt crowd control move in the form of Horn Leech and, in the hands of the right player, is difficult to defeat. | |
| Blastoise | You need to reach Level 7 as quickly as possible when playing Blastoise or else you''''ll find yourself stuck as a rather weak Pokemon. Upon reaching this level, you''''ll learn Surf and Rapid Spin to control the crowd. Sadly Blastoise has dropped down the rankings due to its Unite move being reworked. | |
| Slowbro | Surf, Slowbeam and Telekinesis all make Slowbro ideal for crowd control, which is an important part of playing the Defender class. The downside of Slowbro, however, is that it has simply been eclipsed by other Defenders since the game''''s launch. | |
| Mamoswine | From freezing enemies to stunning them, Mamoswine is based around causing status effects. While this can be useful in blocking goals, Mamoswine doesn''''t cause that much damage, so it''''s a good idea to team up with a teammate. You also have to wait until Level 10 to unlock its Unite Move. | |
| Crustle | Ah Crustle - once you were the king of Defenders... How the mighty have fallen. Crustle''''s moveset still provides a good amount of variety despite this, which allows it to provide a good amount of damage when defending a goal or teammate. |
Speedster tier list for Pokemon Unite
The speedster Pokemon in Pokemon Unite are known for their high mobility and offence stats, which allows them to both defeat wild Pokemon quickly and reach goals.
At the time of writing, there are four Speedster Pokemon to choose from - Dodrio, Gengar, Absol, Talonflame, and Zeraora. After completeing the tutorial, you have the option to obtain the Talonflame Pokemon Unite license.
It''s important to note that Zeraora is only available for a limited-time after the game''s release, therefore you might not be able to add it to your collection.
As of September 2022, this is our Pokemon Unite Speedster tier ranking, which is going from highest to lowest, and remember - this list is subjective:
| Pokemon | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Absol | Absol is the master of critical hits, with moves like Psycho Cut and Sucker Punch allowing it deal a large amount of damage very quickly. Just make sure you defeat your foe as quickly as possible! | |
| Dodrio | Dodrio is a double threat - both an excellent fighter who can deal a high amount of damage and great at scoring goals! While it can take a while to master, Dodrio is a great Pokemon to have on your Unite team. | |
| Talonflame | Moves like Brave Bird and Fly allow you to travel great distances quickly while also causing a good amount of damage. Talonflame can also heal itself through a well timed Aerial Ace. | |
| Gengar | For Gengar to become a true contender, you need to reach Level 7 and unlock Hex. From this point on, you''''ll be able to start taking control of the map, while also using its healing mechanic to stay alive longer. | |
| Zeraora | Zeraroa may have the speed and damage you''''ll want from a Speedster, but its long cooldowns does make it the weakest Pokemon in this class. Speedsters are all about speed after all and those cooldowns slow it down. |
Supporter tier list for Pokemon Unite
Pokemon unite''s supporter has the ability to heal friends and attack opponents by utilizing status criteria to assist their teammates in defeating their opponents.
Three Supporter Pokemon are available at the time of writing: Wigglytuff, Mr. Mime, Blissey, Hoopa, and Eldegoss, which is one of the Pokemon you may choose after completeing the tutorial.
Below is a list of Pokemon Unite''s Supporter tiers as of September 2022, which is from highest to lowest and subject.
| Pokemon | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hoopa | Hoopa supports its teammates with healing, buffs and, uniquely, creating new ways to traverse the map, which can really surprise the enemy team. Moves like Ring Unbound and Hyperspace Hole not only damage the opposing team, but create warp points for Hoopa''''s team, which are great if you need to make a quick escape. | |
| Blissey | With excellent healing support, the ability to disable enemies, boost damage and both give and take away debuffs - Blissey is a great Supporter. Just remember to stick with your allies to take true advantage of Blissey''''s abilties. | |
| Mr. Mime | Keeping to Pokemon tradition, Mr. Mime is great at creating walls that can divide or push back the opposing team. While Mr. Mime can''''t heal its allies, this Pokemon does have the ability to change the Defence and Special Defence of both friends and foes. | |
| Wigglytuff | It''''s important to stay with your team when playing with Wigglytuff, because this Pokemon''''s speciality is putting enemies to Sleep and Stunning them. Wigglytuff, however, lacks the power to properly defeat these Pokemon, so you''''ll need backup! | |
| Eldegoss | Eldegoss is the perfect Supporter on paper - providing sheilds and being able to heal allies - changes to the meta since the release of Pokemon Unite has led it to become overshadowed by other members of the Supporter class. If you want to play support, we recommend focusing on another Pokemon. |
