Best Pokémon in Pokémon Unite

While *Pokémon Unite* offers a wide array of Pokémon to choose from, some stand out as exceptionally powerful. Here are the top picks you should consider to dominate the game:

Blissey

Blissey in Pokemon Unite Image via TiMi Studio Group Blissey is widely regarded as the premier Support Pokémon in *Pokémon Unite*. Its ease of use makes it an excellent choice for new players. The Soft-Boiled ability allows Blissey to rapidly restore the HP of its teammates, while its buff abilities enhance allies' attack speed and movement. Despite being a healer, Blissey is durable and can absorb significant damage. Although the cooldown for Helping Hand has increased from 8 to 9 seconds, Blissey remains a top-tier pick in any match.

Darkrai

Darkrai Image via TiMi Studio Group Darkrai is one of the best Speedsters in *Pokémon Unite*, known for its high speed that allows it to swiftly navigate the battlefield. However, its fragility means it can't withstand much damage. To compensate, Darkrai boasts powerful attack abilities capable of quickly eliminating opponents. Its Hypnosis ability can also put enemies to sleep temporarily. To play Darkrai effectively, you must stay mobile and avoid extended confrontations.

Galarian Rapidash

Image via TiMi Studio Group Galarian Rapidash is another Speedster to consider in *Pokémon Unite*. Like Darkrai, it has lower health but focuses on burst damage and self-sustain rather than crowd control and sustained damage. If you struggle with Darkrai, Galarian Rapidash's Pastel Veil ability, which grants immunity to hindrances, might be a better fit for you.

Mimikyu

Mimikyu in Pokemon Unite Image via TiMi Studio Group Mimikyu is an All-Rounder in *Pokémon Unite* with a balanced mix of offense and defense. Its Disguise passive ability allows it to start battles in a protected state, negating the first instance of damage. Upon being attacked, Mimikyu shifts to Busted Form, marking the attacker with a revenge mark. Approaching a marked enemy increases Mimikyu's movement speed and damage against them. Mastering Disguise is essential for minimizing damage and maximizing counterattacks, making Mimikyu a formidable opponent.

Miraidon

Image via TiMi Studio Group Miraidon is one of the top Attacker units in *Pokémon Unite*. It delivers high burst damage and features the Hadron Engine passive ability, which creates an Electric Terrain that boosts its move damage by 30% and allies' move damage by 10%. This terrain also enhances ally goals' healing and shielding while reducing enemy goals' healing and shielding by 30%. Though challenging to master, Miraidon's powerful abilities make it a top choice in any match.

Umbreon

Umbreon in Pokemon Unite Image via TiMi Studio Group For those looking to play as a Defender, Umbreon is an excellent choice in *Pokémon Unite*. With high defensive stats, Umbreon can effectively shield allies and maintain high survivability. Its passive ability prevents it from being shoved, thrown, or incapacitated, allowing you to evade crowd control. Additionally, Umbreon's Mean Look ability creates a zone that traps enemies and slows their movement.

Tinkaton

Image via TiMi Studio Group Tinkaton is another outstanding All-Rounder in *Pokémon Unite*. Like Mimikyu, it offers a blend of offensive and defensive capabilities, making it versatile for various team compositions. Unlike many top-tier Pokémon that require careful positioning, Tinkaton excels in aggressive playstyles. Its Unite Move provides crowd control by briefly incapacitating enemies while dealing damage. Tinkaton is also very beginner-friendly, making it an ideal choice for new players.

These are the top Pokémon you should focus on in *Pokémon Unite*. Mastering their abilities and playstyles is key to dominating the battlefield. Whether you're playing casually or aiming to climb the ranks, these Pokémon can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

*Pokémon Unite is available now on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch.*
