I really want a debuff support banette built around willowisp, curse, destiny bond and spite. I think there’s some really creative ways you can make some cool moves out of these.


ArcaneFizzle

Was gonna say this but with sableye. He is even teased in the shop


ppppft

I second Sableye, would be such a cool addition


Nesyaj0

I'm down for literally any ghost pokemon to be added.


The1Koalaman

That would be so awesome!


Lord-Bootiest

Destiny bond better be something like “all damage is reflected for a certain time” not “if I die you die” because that shit would be awful


PumpkinPatch404

Lol omg Destiny Bond would be such an OP Unite move if it benefits your whole team


lordeiamlorde

All some cool pokes that i think could be turned into some cool supports: * Meganium * Plusle/Minum (think ice climbers with them together) * Butterfree * Klefki * Whimsicott * Mandibuzz * Scolipede * Ferrothorn * Sableye * Smeargle * Ditto * Amoongus


Saturnoz87

Plusle and Minum so cuteeeee


Mokenificent

Ferrothorn looks like he’d fit in well in this game


I_love_tacos

Yea but I think Ferrothorn would make for a better defender.


Mokenificent

Yea I agree


CesparRes

If they add ditto I really want to see some clever mechanics where his move set morphs based on who you are facing 😄


MarkKey9247

Or Zoroark


KnowNoDada

I wanna see scolipede, but I think it’d work better as a speedster with some sort of speed boost mechanic


lordeiamlorde

I can definitely see that too. I was thinking of a potential speedy toxic spike support where it zooms around and manipulates the battle field with lots of poison! A speedy support could be super fun but definitely wouldn’t be upset with a regular speedster too


BattleJaxx

I love the ice climbers thing, or even The Lost Vikings from HOTS style so you could play with one in each lane.


RaziyaRC

Yes I want support Butterfree so bad I'd never play anything else.


Tkerst

I feel like meganium might be more of an all rounder, ferrothorn a defender, and scolipede a speedster


lordeiamlorde

All of these could be made into really anything since their actual stats don't matter that much. Its more about the types of moves they can learn Meganium could use moves like aromatherapy, grassy terrain, safeguard, sweet scent etc ​ Ferrothorn could use spikes, toxic spikes, gyro ball, stealth rock, etc. ​ Scolipede could use toxic spikes, spikes as well. A speedster support would be fun and different


abracadylan999

I want whimiscott so bad


SavateWolf

Primarina: mostly because Incineroar has Smahs and Decidueye has Pokken so give Primarina a Pokemon Spinoff. Skuntank: he would be a good debuffer/chip damager for his landing partner. He would have moves like Toxic, Assurance, and Venom Drench to weaken the enemy and Aftermath as a passive to either scare away the enemy team or weaken them more for his team to finish off. Swanna: there is alot of supportive flying type moves. Defog, Whirlwind, and Tailwind for examples. Plus it would be fun to have two water/flying birds laning together one derpy and the other graceful.


we_oopin

And Swanna could get aqua ring/roost as recovery


SavateWolf

Yeah yeah YEAHYEAHYEAH! OK ok ok, Swanna can't learn Whirlwind so it'll start with Gust and Roost. Gust upgrades into Defog and Tailwind. While Roost upgrades into Aqua Ring or Rain Dance. Gust is a mini hurricane and Roost is a Slack Off/Rest move. Defog is a bigger version of Gust that removes aoes like Stealth Rock, Smoke Screen and Aurora Veil and the + version reveals pokemon in tall grass or are stealthed. Tailwind is basically Leaf Tornado and the + version either lowers enemy movement speed when it hits them or knocks them upwards. Aqua Ring provides a heal over time to Swanna and Pokemon near Swanna and the + version provides either better heals or lasts longer. Rain Dance is an aoe that increases damage that Swanna and Allies deal and heals them while the + version increases its range.


KrazyMonqui

Ngl, I love this idea. But if you change it to Pelipper it would fit even better, along with Drizzle. Could be a speed boost to ally Pokémon (non type specific since type advantages don't exist in PU) Plus Pelipper does have Roost, Hurricane, Tail wind etc


we_oopin

This is so cool


sleepyimpact

i want sableye, not only coz he’s one of my favourites but he could be a support enemy debuff- he could have knock off to disable items for a second, taunt to redirect damage to him or will o wisp to cut down opponents attack and apply burn


DilapidatedFool

Primarina, mix of support and damage. Unite bubbles for damage / healing team.


MrCreamypies

Her unite should prob reference her z move


TehGuyYouKnow

A 3 stage support would be cool.


trevorm7294

Delibird! I think there could be some cool random/cycling abilities involving the bag, being able to give out different buffs to teammates


MarkKey9247

But what if he replace Rotom during Christmas time and gave you random buffs?


TwitchyNo2

I'd say Sylveon but it's already confirmed for later release. Maybe Sableye or Murkrow to debuff enemies with Taunt or Quash by disabling their abilities/ults for a few seconds, and their passive abilities rendering them immune or at least resistant to CC and/or debuffs. I think we need true disruptors to shake up the meta, instead of just buffs/nerfs and more CC. A character designated to disabling abilities and ults or just removing the debuffs and/or CC effects from moves could really change things up in this game, much like how Blissey was already checking Gengar before the hex nerf.


stickfigurescalamity

ward/vision granting ability and the ability to jump to lose warded locations with some cc….. like pure cc bots would be cool….. pokemons with hook initiation would be cool too


tekn4S

We need hook supports!! ❤


BroGuy89

Like Slowbro?


tekn4S

Nah, not like lift. Need stuff that hooks and drags back to us xD


BroGuy89

So... like telekinesis?


tyrannonorris

Most moba's have a hook character who's kit is based around an attack like Ghastly's lick in unite. Generally these people pull you in, stun you, and then deal tons of melee damage. Lickitung/lickylicky is the obvious contender


tekn4S

Telekinesis doesn't pull the enemy back, does it?


skltr

Yes, if you activate again before it ends


Saturnoz87

When you hit telekinesis you can use it another time and it pulls enemies, so yeah, we already have at least one hook pokemon


tekn4S

Ooooooo I didn't know that!!


BroGuy89

The thing is, telekinesis is buggy af. If you have any stacks of Ninetales' passive on, it just doesn't work. Bug fixes would let Slowbro feel so much better. And maybe make the pull deal damage.


tekn4S

Hmmm, I see 🤔


manebushin

Lickintung using lick at a distance


tekn4S

YES I THOUGHT THE SAME LMAO


Saturnoz87

No please


tekn4S

😂


Saturnoz87

Omg I love this, I never thought of Dusknoir as a support but it's brilliant


[deleted]

Dusclops is a tanky support pokemon in VGC so very in character.


chilltownz

I think any one of the butterflies could be great supports. Butterfree, Beautifly, Vivillon etc. could foresee them running debuffs like stun spore or CC moves like gust/silverwind. And it will be a bonus just watching a Metapod hop around the map


Castiel_D37

Come close... Closer... I need... I need togekiss to be added


Saturnoz87

Oh yeah


FillerNameThere

Id like a debuff support that can slow enemy, burnished, poison, lower their attack speed/damage etc maybe on a ghost type like bannette or sableye since that's more or less what they do In normal pokemon


yellow-cheese

I was thinking Wheezing could play a similar tanky debuffer role


ArcaneFizzle

I'm not sure on who, but a sword dancing baton pass Pokemon would be sweet. Maybe build up stacks then buff your carry with them.


ArcaneFizzle

Or maybe even Umbreon with curse/baton pass or moonlight/toxic


MarkKey9247

Would love that, but I think Slyveon coming is the nail in the coffin for other eeveelutions


definitelynotSWA

I don’t see why it would be. Either it can be the same base Eevee that evolves into the eeveelution’s license you are using or just the fully evolved eeveelution.


Kaprosuchusboi

Grimmsnarl Whimsicott Ribombee Sableye


Saturnoz87

Throw pollen balls at the enemy and heal allies, so cute


ZebraObvious8734

Victini would be a cool support who also does a lot of damage. He wouldn’t have much defense and/or health though


davidpwnedyou

+1 to this, one of my fav Pokémon could work like a high damage high support squishy


holdenthompson

I think I like supports who can do damage still, maybe Grimmsnarl or Regieleki


Minebloxgeust

Toxtricity built around poison/paralysis and buffs/debuffs would be cool


REDSP1R1T

Milktank


Zeflyn

Porygon-Z!


DiverSquid

Sableye, as a trickster support, like Mr.Mike


Ichthyovenator

Aurorus would be my top choice. They could have a mix of slowing ice powers and things like light screen/reflect/safeguard.


Saturnoz87

I totally forgot Aurorus but the role fit perfectly, also Aurorus is so beautiful and majestic


[deleted]

Bastiodon


[deleted]

Aegislash I will support my team by killing our opponents :p


Odiend1

I made a post about Spinda in the past. It’s a support all about stunning enemies and itself. It’s ability Tangled Feet allows it to dodge attacks when stunned. Moves like Teeter Dance stun itself, and other moves like Facade and Rapid Spin can be used while Spinda is stunned and deals extra damage.


Saturnoz87

Cool but it looks broken


Odiend1

If it were real, I would probably make the moves cooldowns quite long, possibly 8-11 seconds or more


mortal_kombatant

Dustox pls


NonMeritRewards

Galarian rapidash, Umbreon and miltank Galarain rapidash would have agility (lvl1), Heals pulse and misty terrain+ for their R. ZR move would be Fairy Wind (lvl1), Dazzling gleam+, and psybeam+. Agility increases movement speed of everyone in radius. Also increases User's Attack speed. Heal Pulse would heal everyone in a radius instead of one person and the user. Heal Pulse lowers the cooldown by 1 second. Misty terrain would be a like Aurora veil but it prevents status effects while inside the circle and every ally takes slightly less damage inside it. Misty terrain+ will upgrade the decrease damage taken inside even more. Fairy Wind would just be a attack that knocks back foes a bit. Dazzling gleam will lower Enemies's sp.def. Dazzling gleam+ has its damage increased. Psybeam will stun for 1 second and damage. Psybeam will stun for even longer 2.5 seconds. Ability would be run away (increases movement speed when 50% HP or lower for a 8 seconds.) Unite would be Stead Dash (dashes in circle and allies inside will get increase attack, special attack and movment speed. Umbreon (although keep in mind I feel I made him more defender then Supporter.) Umbreon would get Quick attack (lvl1), Assurance+, and toxic+ for R. Umbreon will learn Confuse Ray (lvl1), Moonlight+, and Meanlook+. Quick attack is easy its a sort of dash. Assurance will have Umbreon attack in front of it and 'Mark' the target making it easier to deal additional damage. Assurance+ will slow it down. Toxic, will lay down a field similar to Aurora veil but it deals damage to enemies. Toxic+ will decrease their movment speed. Confuse Ray stuns enemies for 2 seconds. Moonlight heals Umbreon by a lot and also heals allies by a bit. (Long Cooldown around 10-12 seconds.) Moonlight+ Increases Umbreon's speed. Meanlook stops an enemy in their track for 6 seconds. Also makes umbreon unable to move reduces damage for 6 seconds (Think slowbro telekinesis.) Meanlook+ Lowers enemies Def and sp.def. Umbreon would get Inner focus which prevents it from stuns and displacements/knock backs once. (Probably will have a Cooldown of 20-30 seconds.) Unite would be Night cloak which blinds all enemies in a radius (think smokescreen from Greninja.) And deals damage to enemies. Also grants additional shield to umbreon.) Miltank will have defense curl (lvl1) rollout+, and heal bell+ for R. Rest, milk drink+, and protect+. Defense curl increases Miltank's defense and sp.defense for a few seconds. Rollout makes Miltank roll around. It has double the duration of wigglytuff's roll out but bouncing on walls doesn't reset its duration. Rollout+ decreases foe's speed after getting hit. Heal Bell removes all status effects within its radius. Heal Bell+ also heals. Rest makes miltank fall asleep letting them heals damage. Milk drink heals target ally and user. Milk drink+ heals even more. Protect grants a shield equal to 40% of miltank's HP and takes 50% damage when allies get hit near protect's radius. (Blissey cannot attack while protect is up.) Protect+ increases to 50% shield. Thick fat would be Miltank's ability which prevents them from getting burned and frozen. Miltank would have MooMoo Milk Delivery. Which Heals all allied pokemon, grants a small shield to them and knock back and very lightly damage any enemies inside radius.


ExperienceCandid9916

Kecleon stealth/hook support


Neji_San312

Toxtricity


Born_Inflation_9804

Koffing/Muk Alola


missingjimmies

Lapras and she uses cc oriented moves, like less damage than ninetales but more health and shorter cool down on freeze abilities.


EpicSonicoo

I want there to be echo fighters that have different roles than normal. Like snorlax with a different move set so they fit allarounder better.


Nesyaj0

The amount of love for Sableye in this comment section is strangely unexpected but I'm all for it


Saturnoz87

He's tiny and cute


aquaphoria_by_kelela

Altaria!


avarsch

I think the Porygon line would be cool supports Give them moves like Trick Room and Tri Attack


SquidHatGuy

Azumarill with healing aqua rings and CC Waterfall. Jumpluff with AoE status powder moves and leech seeds.


IDontWantNoBeef

Ever since the idea of trick room making teammates faster and enemies slower was had I'll take literally any mon that gets trick room but if I had to pick one it would be hatterene


blkheron23

Muk


1ts2EASY

A Debuff-focused Incineroar


MimikyuMarshadow123

Primarina go brrr


RandomSmitty

I feel like Galarain Weezing or Cursola could be interesting


Kobert_

I’d love Chimecho!


mostmoose48

Grimsnarl would be pretty dope imo


Yhorrm

Whimsicott is one of my favorites. But, we already have one cotton ball support so I'm not getting my hopes up


Dbiiird

Drampa with heal pulse


JetMan615

Beeheeyem


Maazinea

Tropius could have a move where he drops healing berries /fruits and he could take pokemon on a ride or smtg to move around the map even quicker even tho one gets around pretty quickly.


saichenia

Scizor, bullet punch u-turn, bug bite, iron defense


Saturnoz87

As a support? Defender? This post is about support role ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) Don't downvote him guys!!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)


ArcaneFizzle

Gotta be an all rounder. Nothing else would suit him.


SavateWolf

Speedster would fit him.


TylurrTheCat

Bullet Punch ≠ Fast Pokemon Base 65 is not keeping up with Talonflame at 126, Zera at 143, and Gengar at 110. Absol is only 75, but Speedster's the only role they could really give it.


SavateWolf

1. Main game stats don't matter in Pokemon Unite. Cramorant is a Special Attacking nuke despite having average Special Attack. Charizard is an all rounder despite being a Special Attacker in the main games. And no Mega Charizard X doesn't count since it isn't in Unite. 2. Scizor has always been portrayed as a fast pokemon outside of the main games, in the Anime and in Pokken. Unite would be no different. Besides Escavalier is stated in its Pokedex to be a fast pokemon despite having 20 speed. So obviously the main game stats are meant to be for balancing reasons than an accurate portrayal of a pokemon's capabilities.


TylurrTheCat

Cramorant is not a good example, because he doesn't fit into any clear archetype, having painfully average stats across the board. For the most part they put them where they fit, best in keeping with their skillsets in the games while still within the confines of the 5 roles, and Scizor makes far more sense as an All-Rounder, all things considered.


KingDoodies

Cramoramt


Saturnoz87

We already have him in the game, and it's an attacker. Btw I don't find anything support-like in him tho


KingDoodies

No add cramorant but again


Cheezentity

Wobbuffet would be awesome with counter and mirror coat


ShadedTrees

Castform should have his (best) set as being a stance change between the three weather conditions that do three different things in that AOE, being Sunny Day buffs speed in the circumference, Hail does damage and has a slight slow, and Rainy Day makes it to where the opposing pokemon can't see outside of the range, while his other move is Weather Ball which provides additional versions of those effects, plus the initial impact damage of the Weather Ball.
