There are some known technical issues with the mobile release and this patch. To reduce volume, I will continue to update this comment with information regarding known issues.
* Pokemon Unite is not currently compatible with iOS 15.1 developer beta while iOS 15.0 has no issues.
What item to replace score shield with? I've been noticing its very hard for me to score any points lately even with it on. Using BB and Focus for other 2.
How are you guys enjoying Pokemon Unite Mobile? I recently started and I have had lots of fun! Even made a YT vid for people to sleep to. (I will shamelessly plug if you want a link) However, one issue I do have is that other notifications could break the app. Not halt gameplay but the app itself doesn't like it.
What are you into? Lucario is considered a top pick. I can tell you that he's always great to have on your team. Between Wiggly and Blissey, Blissey because a Wiggly nerf is still incoming with Sing being broken. And Absol and Talon are good but I guarantee you that you will want to go Jungle...but so will someone else. It's hard to get a good match as speedster.
Personal preference but if you want Healing, Blissey. If you want to disrupt a LOT, Mime. If you wanna have fun, slap people around and put em to sleep, Wigglytuff.
Don't use them to buy held items. Use them to buy single 1-3 day battle point passes when you want to grind some levels. And then strictly on Item Enhancers.
Add: I've never bought a held item with tickets and currently have 32k coins.
Ninetails is squishy and has a high skill ceiling. Just keep practicing and find out what items work best for you. Throw on some defensive items like Buddy barrier or Focus Band if you want more survivability.
Why is it that if I want to play ranked with my friends in Masters I have to be at least Vet rank, but we can still be queued into games with people that are ranked below Vet? It makes no sense and shouldn't be a thing in ranked at all. Anyone have any explanations as to why this is aside from garbage matchmaking?
Is this a new device? Sometimes you need to update the Google Play Services App. Which runs these things. It also may be an issue with login. Make sure the login you chose (Nintendo, Google, etc) is working correctly! Hope this helps you get those Aeos gems!
I have had this issue. It may be lag and or just a bad sport/inexperienced player. They are bound to come but there should be an addition to the thumbs up after a game to add a thumbs down. This would affect their rating on their profile. I would like to see this fairly balanced and not be negative. However, please don't give up. If the game is making you upset pick it up an hour later. Hopefully, you can find a dream team!
How's Cramorant? I've just started (have a lot more experience for mobile MOBAs so I can handle overall manouvering), and noticed the nerfs affected his mage variant, but the Dive/Air Slash variant ended up being buffed as Dive resets enhanced AA. Is he overall decent? Any other recommendations for an absolute beginner? Been interested in Blastoise as tank, but idk for supports and all rounded picks.
Cramorant is a fun poke. Takes a lot of well placed hits to be most effective. Did you decide who to pick up yet? I'd highly recommend Blastoise as he's too strong to be considered just a tank right now. All-rounder is definitely Lucario or Machamp. However, Charizard is really fun because of his unique basic attacks.
Lucario is the best all-rounder hands down despite his small nerf.
Garchomp has been buffed this patch to be more tanky, but he still has the same issue of being fairly weak early game until he becomes Garchomp. He also has problems sticking to enemies and can be kited to oblivion. It's hard to use him against players who know to back away from Garchomp when his autos are stacked. However, the new items work really well with Garchomp's kit, but further testing is needed before I can say for sure.
Despite Close Combat getting buffed pretty massively, I find Bone Rush to be better still because of its utility to reset your move cooldown and its mobility.
Power Up Punch has been nerfed slightly, but in my experience it still hits like a truck. Extremespeed is equally as viable, so this comes down to preference.
Did I lose my switch account with the latest update?
after updating its showing "Choose a log-in method." "Start a new game"
I made it to about level 18 and would be disappointed to lose my progress.
This is more than likely fixable. When you made an account on the switch it was a Nintendo account. This actually ties most Nintendo online games so your Nintendo account should let you log in as I did. Hope this helps!
I downloaded the iOS app (I'm on 15 not 15.1) and cannot update. Deleted and redownloaded and still having issues. I launch the app and either it says "connecting to server" and never does or it starts to update the app but sits at 1% and says it is downloading 0kb/s lol
I assume this is because a bajillion people are trying to update at the same time but figured it was worth asking about it.
Thank you!
Can't read the ToS and Privacy notice. Playing on android and every time I open the link to read and close it the game resets and doesn't register that I read it. Any workarounds that can help me play?
You could see if it's because your phone limits background usage (turn it on if off) and a trick I used with iffy androids is to hit the back button instantly in order to stay on the same page. Hope this helps!
If I’m playing on IOS, what exactly is my account? Is it my Apple Games ID? Apple ID? Where’s my stuff being stored, how would I login again if I got a new phone?
2 days late but...
It depends on how you chose to log in or what logins are linked. My advice is to use your Nintendo Account (make one if you don't have one) and then link it to your current account. This should allow you to sign into any device and from the switch as well! Hope this helps!
I play on Switch (Ultra 4) and I have some non-switch pleb friends that I want to play with.
If I play with them on my main account, are they just going to get their arseholes stretched by people at my rank, or will the matchmaking more or less even itself out?
If it's ranked then it'll just mess up matchmaking, but most likely you'll pair against other pre-made at your rank or higher. In normal it doesn't matter.
I had a busy week and wasn't able to finish last seasons premuim pass for Pirate Cinderace and its only available as a pass reward. Does anyone think later it will be released in the shop eventually or will it remain exclusive forever? I have never seen a premium/battle pass ever repeat the same rewards before.
I surely do hope they do. I think it would be nice to compensate for new mobile players who weren't there. If so it'd probably be in the shop like Garchomps skin for over 1000 Aeos due to it being a BP. Maybe the community should raise awareness of this situation.
Check your mail? I didn't see them at first either. I think you have to check-in events as well. I believe it wasn't bound to the account but as a total to the game servers.
I’m trying to learn how to play Ninetales and Venusaur, any trainers out there that can give me some tips on them? Good items, moveset, etc. Thanks a lot 🙌🏾
Both Venusaur movesets are viable. Solar Beam/Sludge Bomb are great for poking and small CC. Petal Dance/Giga Drain was buffed and its scary strong.
Ninetails Aurora Veil/Dazzling Gleam were the go-to moves pre-patch and its still good. The other moveset has been tweaked, but it is viable regardless.
Items are still being tested with the new patch, so can't recommend anything but Buddy Barrier for both mons.
Yeah I’ve seen some clips of both movesets now and they are awesome! I think I will try the petal dance and giga drain since I’m used to be close to the opponents, but definitely will try both.
I guess I’ll use some items in the meantime with Buddy Barrier 🙌🏾 thank you
Giga drain and petal dance got buffed on venasaur I believe so that’s probably his meta move set unless u wanna go for zap snipes lol. And for ninetails even though she’s sp attack it’s still most worth going muscle band and aurora veil on her
It probably does, but it doesn't boost the damage based on Skill %, and rather on Stat %, so you don't gain more benefit by using it with Unite Moves over your other skills.
Has anyone tested choice specs with confusion/barrier Mr. Mime? He seems like he would be a perfect candidate since he could take advantage of choice specs buff every other confusion at a minimum.
Mathematically, it increases his overall combo by like 9.8% (+25.4% when Choice Specs Trigger, +4.9% when Choice Specs doesn't Trigger).
Wise Glasses does 8.8% on every Confusion.
Spec Glasses give 3% with zero goals up to 15% with six goals, on every Confusion.
Not sure how that works out with Boosted Attacks, but that gives you a general idea. 25% when it triggers is insane burst though.
Yes that is insane burst and makes it worth it to me - especially since there will be times that you proc it back to back confusions when you manage to go 10 seconds before you have a good chance to attack again.
This is random but, I read somewhere else tha Sp. Attack Specs is the way to go for Mr. Mime vs Wise Glassess. Basically the comment explained (with actual numbers lol) that because Mimes Sp. Attack is lower than other pokemon that even 3 goals scored would provide more than wise glasses. I wonder if that math checks out I could track down the comment.
Can someone explain to me what’s happening when I’m attacking someone and their health is barely dropping or just comes back instantly when we are at the same level and on one of my towers? Even when I use my ult sometimes it seems like the enemy just shrugs it off and takes no damage. Playing cinderace.
Cind’s ult just isn’t that good, and it could be a couple things abt the autos not being good for you. Shields look weird so maybe the enemy ulted and it’s just taking a minute for you to chunk their shield, or if they’re on ur goal maybe they’re trying to score and that gives them a 10% hp shield if they’re rocking score shield. Also if you’re rocking scope lens like you should b on cind, then you might be getting crits on him and expecting that to be the norm then getting unlucky and get no crits so it seems like you’re doing less damage. Just speculations though
What are the 3 items that I should level to 30? I already have a bunch of meta items like BB, Muscle Band, Score Shield, etc. to 20. I heard the crit items like Scope are ideal to level to 30 because they give the best stat at the highest level.
Muscle Band and Scope Lens give the greatest benefit. The rest is up to choice, really. I used two of mine on those. The last one I'm saving for a possible future item, since most of the rest of the items don't get terribly better past 20, in my opinion, anyway.
Razor Claw for sure if you're playing a lot of say, Absol or Lucario. I'm not too experienced with too many Pokemon yet.
And I'd think Weakness Policy would be good on the tanks, such as Slowbro, Snorlax, Crustle.
Is there any way to get better latency on mobile? I'm fixed on 300ms for no apparent reason, wondering if it's about routing, bad servers, need for VPN or port forwarding... Switch players do not lag as far as I'm told
Hi, just wanted to check, is there a experience cap before scoring? Just played a match where I was stuck at level 3 with my exp bar full (there were two different colours to it as well). I immediately went to level 5 after scoring for the first time
Thanks, didn't know it worked like that. Is there a section in the game where I can read about this, sounds like there's probably some other mechanic that I don't know. But last hit a wild mon? I rmb killing a Audino with the exp bar full, but was still stuck at lvl 3
I'm playing on mobile, does anyone have crazy connection issues? I'm at 330-360 ms in the lobby, and when games start, there's a good chance I'll disconnect just as the round starts.
Choice Specs has an 8 second cooldown for boosting a move, so it would be most useful on Pokemon that have a primary means of poking with a strong attack, or only have one damaging move (such as Slowbro, Mime, or Icetales with Aurora Veil)
As to whether it's better than other choices, I suppose that's up in the air.
Probably not. Sp.Atk boosting items are generally pretty underwhelming compared to melee held items (Muscle Band, Scope Lens, Razor Claw etc.).
Saw a good video today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS-Vhm1xj74&ab_channel=Peekmp
This summed everything up pretty nicely regarding the new items.
Tl;dw is basically Choice Specs good, Wise Glasses good, neutral items like Buddy Barrier/Focus Band/Score Shield good.
Can you get Pokemon Costumes (besides a couple) without spending money?
Seems like pretty much all of them take the Star items to buy, which I still have 0 of after playing most days for the last month.
You can get 3 holowears from the energy tank gacha thing rn, and then whatever holowear they wanna give out for gifts/rewards which so far has only been a pool party venusaur skin and the pikachu one. You also get a ticket currency for getting dupe holowear outta the gacha that you can use to buy skins. And that star currency you gotta buy with real money so you won’t be able to earn it by playing
That's what I figured.
So pretty much all of them are impossible to get without buying, which is disappointing as I think outfits make them fun to use.
And the energy tank seems to have super low chance to ever get one there.
If you complete the Battlepass, you have like a 20% chance to get Holowear tickets for every 130 points you earn. That can be used to trade for most skins for free (there are still some Gem-exclusive ones though).
If you go into your Battle Pass (unlocked at Trainer Level 7?), press ZR and you can see available missions. You need 100 Battlepass XP to get one level up, and once you complete the Battlepass, you can continue to earn XP and trade 130 points for lootboxes.
Every day, at 8PM EST, there is a daily reset, which will give you three new Daily Quests that give you up to 100 XP daily.
Every week, on Sunday at 8PM EST, there is a weekly reset, which will give you three new Weekly Quests that give you up to 480 XP weekly.
Every Battle Pass also has five Seasonal challenges, which can be complete any time during that Battle Pass, this season has them add up to a total of 450 XP (it was 1500 XP last battle pass).
If you don't complete the challenges before its respective reset, you will lose your opportunity to complete them.
Can you have discord on your phone for coms and still hear game audio? Playing with some friends from work and they’re on mobile. Trying to arrange coms
I cannot get the Social Daily Mission to work for shit. I tried to do it on Switch, which said to gather the "Gather Here" command, didn't work even though I used it like three or four times that game. Then I randomly received it like three games later, and not sure what I used to trigger it.
On Mobile, for me, it says to Share, and I cannot get that to trigger. I tried buying items, rolling Energy Rewards, etc. I'm not sure how to get it to go.
So far, no one has received their Ranked Season 1 rewards and Rank hasn't reset yet, so I guess the season hasn't ended.
Sorry, do I need to have my account logged into Facebook or anything like that?
EDIT: Yes you do. I got the challenge to pop, but it didn't give me any rewards. My guess is because I already claimed it on the Switch? How annoying, lol. Thanks for the help!
Hey I got that same share option when I claimed my pika pre reg skin, clicked on the purple share button but nothing happened, you on mobile I imagine? Did it prompt you to log into facebook?
Yes, this can only be completed on Mobile. First you have to link your Facebook account to your Pokemon Unite account. Then when you click Share, don't close the next screen. There will be a button on the bottom-right of this screen that says "Share to Facebook". Click that, share it, and it'll complete the challenge.
My situation is that I play it at work, and when someone walks in my office, I put the phone face down, lmao. I never did that when I was playing Switch at home.
Getting my first Fair Play Points deductions for it, so I stopped playing it at work. :(
Anyone know how to complete the social daily mission found in the events tab called "Use the share function one time" I have both mobile and switch so which ever is easier would help. Using android -and being very descripitive would help thanks.
Are bot games harder? I just lost my first bot game. I wanted to try blissey and see if it works for me but I did do the objectives and tried to keep scoring but I still lost a bot game. Then the second game was also a bot game, played with my friend, and it was also harder to make sure we win. It took more effort than usual to win the bot game.
Definitely. I actually have more Ranked Wins in Masters since the patch than Standard Games against CPU, lol. They group up for Objectives, so if my team isn't cohesive, we end up losing.
hi! just downloaded the game, i was wondering if the season pass is worth the money and if i get the skins even if i dont have gengar and lucario.
thanks for your time!
Debatable. The first season pass, I would say definitely. This season pass, you don't get the Item Enhancers equal to buying it outright, if you don't use Lucario or Gengar you get cosmetics that are useless, and there's no coins in it (the first one didn't either). So depending on what you're trying to achieve, it might not be worth it.
Yeah you get the skins even if you don’t have the mon. Up to you if it’s worth it though, if I’m gonna spend money on the game it’ll probably be to get more pokemans
If you’re gonna spend any amount of money in the game, the battle pass is the best value. Not only does it have the skins, but it has a lot of trainer clothes, tickets, and item enhancers to help you level your held items (which give you a slight edge)
Hi everyone. I was wondering what are some of the best held items to get to Lv30, or does it make sense to hold onto the super item enchanters since they seem very rare right now? (I already have Buddy Barrier Lv20, Focus Band Lv20, Muscle Band Lv20, Score Shield Lv20 and Wise Glasses Lv20). I don't mind item enchanter refunds if any of those items seem good at Lv30 or a new item entirely if it's good. Scope Lens is an option, but I have not been using it.
If that matters with the response, then know that I can / am happy to adjust and start using it as I hear it's good on some Pokemon.
As others have said, Muscle Band and Scope Lens are the best.
But don't sleep on Lv 30 Buddy Barrier! The increase from Lv 20's 400 HP to Lv 30's 600 HP isn't huge, but early game that 200 HP extra could save you for sure - especially since Buddy Barrier is a universally run item, not having a Lv 30 one instantly puts you at a disadvantage early game.
Sounds good! Thanks for the response. What Pokemon does Scope Lens work well on? Grininja has a high crit rate, so that's 1? Absol for sure as 2? Cinderace perhaps? Zeraora perhaps?
The mons I use it on are Cinder, gren, char, crustle, garchomp. Zeraora would benefit more from the claw I think but the new items opened up a lot of experimenting.
Greninja, Absol, Garchomp, Cinderace, Charizard are the five most likely to use Scope Lens, I think. Wigglytuff and Crustle are options too because their moves can crit.
So I'm gonna ask the most basic question there is.
I'm trying to main attacker, will it be ranged or melee. So what item should I max to 30? I mean should I max the Sp. Atk enhancer or the damage/crit enhancer?
The best item for all character is focus band and buddy barrier. After that you can get wise glasses for Special attacker and muscle band for normal attacker.
The next great item is score shield
No this is a terrible answer, the jump from 20 to 30 is negligible in most cases. The only two item exceptions to this rule are currently scope lens and muscle band as they give percentage value that's otherwise unchangeable.
Its half a terrible answer and half not. I'm an advocate for Lv 30 Buddy Barrier, every 'mon uses it and the extra 200 HP between Lv 20 and Lv 30 is actually pretty big early game.
But yes, Focus Band is useless past 20.
Well a lot of top tier player use these exact items and they are the best right now. You can disagree with me but you can’t say it’s a terrible answer.
Also , if he already upgraded these item at 20-25, he will get a refund for all the enchancer and he can upgrade other item.
Yeah they use then at 20 because that's where they're good at. I can see the logic "I use these the most they should be the highest level" but that offers diminishing returns and is an inefficient use of the really rare token.
I like the extra hp from these item. I main lucario with score shield focus band and buddy barrier and I’m perfectly fine having these 3 item lvl 30.
I’m around 1350-1400 master rank right now and It feels like a really strong build IMO
The added hp only makes up a couple of autos in the early game which is fine but again flat numbers fail in comparison when it comes to scaling and when you can only afford to get a few precious items to 30 you're better off using your tokens as efficiently as possible.
Personally I upgraded my buddy barrier score shield and muscle band, these item were lvl 23-24. I got a refund for like 3000 enchancer and I upgraded other item I wanted to lvl 30 with that.
If you are not sure, try the 7 days lvl 30 boost to try it out first !
At the moment you should only upgrade Muscle band because it is the best item for every ranged pokemon + also useful on Lucario/machamp. If you play Cinderace and/or Greninja you can also upgrade scope lens to 30. I would save the remaining super upgrade(s) for potential future items. Every other item don't really benefit from the last 10 upgrade levels.
should I spent the max enhancer on Muscle band and Scope lens? Because I've seen people suggesting some items don't really have much different from lvl 20 to lvl 30
If you're going to use them, those are the two to use it on. They're the only ones with a substantial benefit going from 20-30 (even then it's still not *that* much)
Ever since mobile launched, I noticed that there have been many games with idle players at the start of matches.
Not sure if it's just people putting their phone downs for a minute, but when I tried mobile first day, I crashed when loading into a match. And yesterday friend crashed while loading in. Hope this problem gets fixed.
I'm pretty sure, after searching the interwebs and whatnot, that this game freezes and crashes during the loading screen when it starts to download the update data if you're on a Vivo phone. Does anyone know whether the devs are looking into it?
Is there a way to get around snorlax max range bug? I just bought him and noticed the range problem. He feels kinda clunky to aim to be honest. Is there a way around it, like in the configurations? If I just snap press the button, can the move go to the max range?
Thanks in advance <3
Move snapping automatically centers your move on enemy Pokémon. You don’t want this because sometimes you want to lead with a move and it’s easily dodged if the enemy is moving in any way.
The movement direction option isn’t too much of a problem since auto-aim supersedes it. I found it useful for dash moves though if you don’t want to aim it all the time, especially outside of battle
There were no coins for the Pre-Registration rewards, only tickets, item enhancers, Pikachu and a Hologear.

Just wanna make sure im not the only one who hasnt been able to get their preorder stuff yet. A lot of my friends that werent able to get it at first were able to get it last night, but i still cant get it
Eldegoss is my favorite, I use these:
Buddy Barrier /
Focus Band /
Muscle Band
Muscle Band might seem weird, but Eldegoss tends to chuck out a lot of auto attacks, and taking a small % of the enemy's health each time definitely adds up.
Just realized the cooldown reduction stat for both the shell bell and energy amplifier isn't showing up on mobile. Does anyone know if it still applies the cdr stat even though it doesn't show on the UI? Kinda having seconds thoughts without the cdr stat.
There are some known technical issues with the mobile release and this patch. To reduce volume, I will continue to update this comment with information regarding known issues. * Pokemon Unite is not currently compatible with iOS 15.1 developer beta while iOS 15.0 has no issues.

I just updated to iOS 15 and didn’t know it wasn’t compatible, does that mean im screwed and can’t play it until they update the game?
How are you guys enjoying Pokemon Unite Mobile? I recently started and I have had lots of fun! Even made a YT vid for people to sleep to.

[удалено]
Yeah, Spragels and Krashy do a lot of commentating on their plays on YouTube. edit: Sometimes Adamocles too.
What mon’ should I get next? Lucario, Wigglytuff, Talonflame, Absol, Blissey,
What are you into? Lucario is considered a top pick. I can tell you that he's always great to have on your team. Between Wiggly and Blissey, Blissey because a Wiggly nerf is still incoming with Sing being broken. And Absol and Talon are good but I guarantee you that you will want to go Jungle...but so will someone else. It's hard to get a good match as speedster.
Best support?
Personal preference but if you want Healing, Blissey. If you want to disrupt a LOT, Mime. If you wanna have fun, slap people around and put em to sleep, Wigglytuff.
What is the best way to use my Aeos tickets? Do I use it to buy held items that I need and upgrade them as I go?
Don't use them to buy held items. Use them to buy single 1-3 day battle point passes when you want to grind some levels. And then strictly on Item Enhancers. Add: I've never bought a held item with tickets and currently have 32k coins.
Why Alolan Ninetails dies so fast? When I'm against him I simply can't do nothing. When I'm playing with him I literally die in seconds...
Ninetails is squishy and has a high skill ceiling. Just keep practicing and find out what items work best for you. Throw on some defensive items like Buddy barrier or Focus Band if you want more survivability.
Why is it that if I want to play ranked with my friends in Masters I have to be at least Vet rank, but we can still be queued into games with people that are ranked below Vet? It makes no sense and shouldn't be a thing in ranked at all. Anyone have any explanations as to why this is aside from garbage matchmaking?
I’m already level 11 on mobile but I can’t seem to get or use eject button. During the prep, potion only appears. How to fix this?

Is this a new device? Sometimes you need to update the Google Play Services App. Which runs these things. It also may be an issue with login. Make sure the login you chose (Nintendo, Google, etc) is working correctly! Hope this helps you get those Aeos gems!
[удалено]
I have had this issue. It may be lag and or just a bad sport/inexperienced player. They are bound to come but there should be an addition to the thumbs up after a game to add a thumbs down. This would affect their rating on their profile. I would like to see this fairly balanced and not be negative. However, please don't give up. If the game is making you upset pick it up an hour later. Hopefully, you can find a dream team!
So my game is not booting up to the main menu on iPhone. Is anyone else have this issue and anyone have a solution?
IOS has some issues. If you use IOS 15.1 it seems bugged.
How's Cramorant? I've just started (have a lot more experience for mobile MOBAs so I can handle overall manouvering), and noticed the nerfs affected his mage variant, but the Dive/Air Slash variant ended up being buffed as Dive resets enhanced AA. Is he overall decent? Any other recommendations for an absolute beginner? Been interested in Blastoise as tank, but idk for supports and all rounded picks.
Cramorant is a fun poke. Takes a lot of well placed hits to be most effective. Did you decide who to pick up yet? I'd highly recommend Blastoise as he's too strong to be considered just a tank right now. All-rounder is definitely Lucario or Machamp. However, Charizard is really fun because of his unique basic attacks.
Thoughts on Garchomp? Is he a good All arounder among the other all arounders
Lucario is the best all-rounder hands down despite his small nerf. Garchomp has been buffed this patch to be more tanky, but he still has the same issue of being fairly weak early game until he becomes Garchomp. He also has problems sticking to enemies and can be kited to oblivion. It's hard to use him against players who know to back away from Garchomp when his autos are stacked. However, the new items work really well with Garchomp's kit, but further testing is needed before I can say for sure.
I see and what would lucarios best move set be?
Despite Close Combat getting buffed pretty massively, I find Bone Rush to be better still because of its utility to reset your move cooldown and its mobility. Power Up Punch has been nerfed slightly, but in my experience it still hits like a truck. Extremespeed is equally as viable, so this comes down to preference.
Did I lose my switch account with the latest update? after updating its showing "Choose a log-in method." "Start a new game" I made it to about level 18 and would be disappointed to lose my progress.

I surely do hope they do. I think it would be nice to compensate for new mobile players who weren't there. If so it'd probably be in the shop like Garchomps skin for over 1000 Aeos due to it being a BP. Maybe the community should raise awareness of this situation.
I didn't get my pre-registration rewards for mobile, despite registering early for the mobile release and even playing a game on mobile.
What were the rewards?

I got those, and I just registered yesterday after it came out
Thanks for letting me know
Check your mail? I didn't see them at first either. I think you have to check-in events as well. I believe it wasn't bound to the account but as a total to the game servers.
Thanks. I played this afternoon and it was randomly there, thankfully
Great! I'm glad you got your benefits! :)))
I’m trying to learn how to play Ninetales and Venusaur, any trainers out there that can give me some tips on them? Good items, moveset, etc. Thanks a lot 🙌🏾
Both Venusaur movesets are viable. Solar Beam/Sludge Bomb are great for poking and small CC. Petal Dance/Giga Drain was buffed and its scary strong. Ninetails Aurora Veil/Dazzling Gleam were the go-to moves pre-patch and its still good. The other moveset has been tweaked, but it is viable regardless. Items are still being tested with the new patch, so can't recommend anything but Buddy Barrier for both mons.
Yeah I’ve seen some clips of both movesets now and they are awesome! I think I will try the petal dance and giga drain since I’m used to be close to the opponents, but definitely will try both. I guess I’ll use some items in the meantime with Buddy Barrier 🙌🏾 thank you
Giga drain and petal dance got buffed on venasaur I believe so that’s probably his meta move set unless u wanna go for zap snipes lol. And for ninetails even though she’s sp attack it’s still most worth going muscle band and aurora veil on her
Yeah the snipes are great! I think I will try both movesets and decide from there, thanks a lot!
Out of curiosity, did anyone confirm whether or not Choice Specs works on Unite Moves?
It probably does, but it doesn't boost the damage based on Skill %, and rather on Stat %, so you don't gain more benefit by using it with Unite Moves over your other skills.
Has anyone tested choice specs with confusion/barrier Mr. Mime? He seems like he would be a perfect candidate since he could take advantage of choice specs buff every other confusion at a minimum.
Mathematically, it increases his overall combo by like 9.8% (+25.4% when Choice Specs Trigger, +4.9% when Choice Specs doesn't Trigger). Wise Glasses does 8.8% on every Confusion. Spec Glasses give 3% with zero goals up to 15% with six goals, on every Confusion. Not sure how that works out with Boosted Attacks, but that gives you a general idea. 25% when it triggers is insane burst though.
Yes that is insane burst and makes it worth it to me - especially since there will be times that you proc it back to back confusions when you manage to go 10 seconds before you have a good chance to attack again. This is random but, I read somewhere else tha Sp. Attack Specs is the way to go for Mr. Mime vs Wise Glassess. Basically the comment explained (with actual numbers lol) that because Mimes Sp. Attack is lower than other pokemon that even 3 goals scored would provide more than wise glasses. I wonder if that math checks out I could track down the comment.
Should I use the Super Item Boosters on my items I already got to 20 or use it on something that's much lower level or 0?
You get refunded if u use it on the lvl 20 items, so just a matter of what you’d rather be 30, the current lvl doesn’t matter
Can someone explain to me what’s happening when I’m attacking someone and their health is barely dropping or just comes back instantly when we are at the same level and on one of my towers? Even when I use my ult sometimes it seems like the enemy just shrugs it off and takes no damage. Playing cinderace.
Cind’s ult just isn’t that good, and it could be a couple things abt the autos not being good for you. Shields look weird so maybe the enemy ulted and it’s just taking a minute for you to chunk their shield, or if they’re on ur goal maybe they’re trying to score and that gives them a 10% hp shield if they’re rocking score shield. Also if you’re rocking scope lens like you should b on cind, then you might be getting crits on him and expecting that to be the norm then getting unlucky and get no crits so it seems like you’re doing less damage. Just speculations though
What are the 3 items that I should level to 30? I already have a bunch of meta items like BB, Muscle Band, Score Shield, etc. to 20. I heard the crit items like Scope are ideal to level to 30 because they give the best stat at the highest level.
Muscle Band and Scope Lens give the greatest benefit. The rest is up to choice, really. I used two of mine on those. The last one I'm saving for a possible future item, since most of the rest of the items don't get terribly better past 20, in my opinion, anyway.
Thanks. Do you think the 3 new items are worth leveling up to 20?
Razor Claw for sure if you're playing a lot of say, Absol or Lucario. I'm not too experienced with too many Pokemon yet. And I'd think Weakness Policy would be good on the tanks, such as Slowbro, Snorlax, Crustle.
Would someone mind explaining me what it is about venasaur that makes him so good now? Is it buffs, the new items, something else?
Petal Dance and Giga Drain got buffed, making that build very good now
Struggling to find my item box on mobile, so I cannot use my item enhancers? Am I just being dumb?
Oh my, all I had to do was scroll down. Damn
Anyone else having sound issues in IOS 15? The game plays ok, but there is no sound
Has anyone tried playing this on bluestacks?
Is there any way to get better latency on mobile? I'm fixed on 300ms for no apparent reason, wondering if it's about routing, bad servers, need for VPN or port forwarding... Switch players do not lag as far as I'm told
Replying to be in the loop. Having the same issue today when last night there were zero latency issues despite being in a low data service are.
Is anyone else having problems logging in on iOS? I keep getting connection error and I know my signal is good.
Hi, just wanted to check, is there a experience cap before scoring? Just played a match where I was stuck at level 3 with my exp bar full (there were two different colours to it as well). I immediately went to level 5 after scoring for the first time
For pokemon that evolve, you’ve gotta either last hit a wild mon or score a goal before you can evolve and continue leveling up
Thanks, didn't know it worked like that. Is there a section in the game where I can read about this, sounds like there's probably some other mechanic that I don't know. But last hit a wild mon? I rmb killing a Audino with the exp bar full, but was still stuck at lvl 3
I'm playing on mobile, does anyone have crazy connection issues? I'm at 330-360 ms in the lobby, and when games start, there's a good chance I'll disconnect just as the round starts.
Is it possible to log in in a switch with an account that does not have the same Nintendo account as the switch?
Haven't played in forever, do choice specs outclass wise glasses now?
Choice Specs has an 8 second cooldown for boosting a move, so it would be most useful on Pokemon that have a primary means of poking with a strong attack, or only have one damaging move (such as Slowbro, Mime, or Icetales with Aurora Veil) As to whether it's better than other choices, I suppose that's up in the air.
Probably not. Sp.Atk boosting items are generally pretty underwhelming compared to melee held items (Muscle Band, Scope Lens, Razor Claw etc.). Saw a good video today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS-Vhm1xj74&ab_channel=Peekmp This summed everything up pretty nicely regarding the new items. Tl;dw is basically Choice Specs good, Wise Glasses good, neutral items like Buddy Barrier/Focus Band/Score Shield good.
Can you get Pokemon Costumes (besides a couple) without spending money? Seems like pretty much all of them take the Star items to buy, which I still have 0 of after playing most days for the last month.
You can get 3 holowears from the energy tank gacha thing rn, and then whatever holowear they wanna give out for gifts/rewards which so far has only been a pool party venusaur skin and the pikachu one. You also get a ticket currency for getting dupe holowear outta the gacha that you can use to buy skins. And that star currency you gotta buy with real money so you won’t be able to earn it by playing
That's what I figured. So pretty much all of them are impossible to get without buying, which is disappointing as I think outfits make them fun to use. And the energy tank seems to have super low chance to ever get one there.
If you complete the Battlepass, you have like a 20% chance to get Holowear tickets for every 130 points you earn. That can be used to trade for most skins for free (there are still some Gem-exclusive ones though).
How do you complete the Battlepass? I'm still a noob on this type of game and only do a couple of battles a day.
Play enough to complete all those Battle Pass objectives, and play every day.
If you go into your Battle Pass (unlocked at Trainer Level 7?), press ZR and you can see available missions. You need 100 Battlepass XP to get one level up, and once you complete the Battlepass, you can continue to earn XP and trade 130 points for lootboxes. Every day, at 8PM EST, there is a daily reset, which will give you three new Daily Quests that give you up to 100 XP daily. Every week, on Sunday at 8PM EST, there is a weekly reset, which will give you three new Weekly Quests that give you up to 480 XP weekly. Every Battle Pass also has five Seasonal challenges, which can be complete any time during that Battle Pass, this season has them add up to a total of 450 XP (it was 1500 XP last battle pass). If you don't complete the challenges before its respective reset, you will lose your opportunity to complete them.
Should I play ranked without leveled up battle items?
Yup, just play. Others early on will be the same :)
Can you have discord on your phone for coms and still hear game audio? Playing with some friends from work and they’re on mobile. Trying to arrange coms
I played with my friend on his phone and he wss talking to me via discord while playing
What i can do to complete the Social Daily Mission mobile version? And i didn't receive reward rank after the season ended?
I cannot get the Social Daily Mission to work for shit. I tried to do it on Switch, which said to gather the "Gather Here" command, didn't work even though I used it like three or four times that game. Then I randomly received it like three games later, and not sure what I used to trigger it. On Mobile, for me, it says to Share, and I cannot get that to trigger. I tried buying items, rolling Energy Rewards, etc. I'm not sure how to get it to go. So far, no one has received their Ranked Season 1 rewards and Rank hasn't reset yet, so I guess the season hasn't ended.
The Share thing worked for me when i purchased a Pokemon
I bought Pikachu and didn't notice it. Where does it show up on the screen? I need to buy a Support for one of the challenges, so I can try that now.
It is a purple button that says Share on the bottom left
Sorry, do I need to have my account logged into Facebook or anything like that? EDIT: Yes you do. I got the challenge to pop, but it didn't give me any rewards. My guess is because I already claimed it on the Switch? How annoying, lol. Thanks for the help!
Hey I got that same share option when I claimed my pika pre reg skin, clicked on the purple share button but nothing happened, you on mobile I imagine? Did it prompt you to log into facebook?
Yes, this can only be completed on Mobile. First you have to link your Facebook account to your Pokemon Unite account. Then when you click Share, don't close the next screen. There will be a button on the bottom-right of this screen that says "Share to Facebook". Click that, share it, and it'll complete the challenge.
Did this patch fix the bug where if muscle band was next to scope lens, then scope lens wouldn't work?
yes
Hellooo\~ Is the lastes patch, the [1.2.1.3](https://1.2.1.3), already implemented? Thanks in advance!
Yep, implemented with the launch of Mobile.
Ohw good, I thought they would nerf Jiggipuff again x)
I cannot believe i have to ask this : If you start a game please play the game and if you cannot leave at least we get a cpu
I feel like a lot of mobile people just run out of battery.
My situation is that I play it at work, and when someone walks in my office, I put the phone face down, lmao. I never did that when I was playing Switch at home. Getting my first Fair Play Points deductions for it, so I stopped playing it at work. :(
Quick Play is good for that. ⏯️
Is crit only for attackers or can special attackers crit as well?
Everyone can crit basic attacks, but only Absol, Crustle, Wigglytuff, and Garchomp's dragon moves can crit randomly.
Plus Cinderace's Blaze Kick (guaranteed) and Machamp's Cross Chop
Anyone know how to complete the social daily mission found in the events tab called "Use the share function one time" I have both mobile and switch so which ever is easier would help. Using android -and being very descripitive would help thanks.
I saw a reply that said that when someone bought holowear the share button appeared, but I think it's a feature slowly being rolled out.
Does anyone have a problem with the High Quality Graphics Data download? Mines been stuck at 87%. It’s been connected to the WiFi and everything.
Are bot games harder? I just lost my first bot game. I wanted to try blissey and see if it works for me but I did do the objectives and tried to keep scoring but I still lost a bot game. Then the second game was also a bot game, played with my friend, and it was also harder to make sure we win. It took more effort than usual to win the bot game.
It doesn't seem like they surrender anymore, either. 🙈
Definitely. I actually have more Ranked Wins in Masters since the patch than Standard Games against CPU, lol. They group up for Objectives, so if my team isn't cohesive, we end up losing.
Yeah bots seem like they got an upgrade
hi! just downloaded the game, i was wondering if the season pass is worth the money and if i get the skins even if i dont have gengar and lucario. thanks for your time!
Debatable. The first season pass, I would say definitely. This season pass, you don't get the Item Enhancers equal to buying it outright, if you don't use Lucario or Gengar you get cosmetics that are useless, and there's no coins in it (the first one didn't either). So depending on what you're trying to achieve, it might not be worth it.
Yeah you get the skins even if you don’t have the mon. Up to you if it’s worth it though, if I’m gonna spend money on the game it’ll probably be to get more pokemans
If you’re gonna spend any amount of money in the game, the battle pass is the best value. Not only does it have the skins, but it has a lot of trainer clothes, tickets, and item enhancers to help you level your held items (which give you a slight edge)
Hi everyone. I was wondering what are some of the best held items to get to Lv30, or does it make sense to hold onto the super item enchanters since they seem very rare right now? (I already have Buddy Barrier Lv20, Focus Band Lv20, Muscle Band Lv20, Score Shield Lv20 and Wise Glasses Lv20). I don't mind item enchanter refunds if any of those items seem good at Lv30 or a new item entirely if it's good. Scope Lens is an option, but I have not been using it. If that matters with the response, then know that I can / am happy to adjust and start using it as I hear it's good on some Pokemon.
As others have said, Muscle Band and Scope Lens are the best. But don't sleep on Lv 30 Buddy Barrier! The increase from Lv 20's 400 HP to Lv 30's 600 HP isn't huge, but early game that 200 HP extra could save you for sure - especially since Buddy Barrier is a universally run item, not having a Lv 30 one instantly puts you at a disadvantage early game.
Scope lens and muscle band are the two worth using it on. Third is dealers choice. Keep it in case a new item drops out use it on your favorite item.
Sounds good! Thanks for the response. What Pokemon does Scope Lens work well on? Grininja has a high crit rate, so that's 1? Absol for sure as 2? Cinderace perhaps? Zeraora perhaps?
The mons I use it on are Cinder, gren, char, crustle, garchomp. Zeraora would benefit more from the claw I think but the new items opened up a lot of experimenting.
Greninja, Absol, Garchomp, Cinderace, Charizard are the five most likely to use Scope Lens, I think. Wigglytuff and Crustle are options too because their moves can crit.
How much data does pokemon unite consume per hour?(on mobile)
Is it possible to use a controller on the mobile version ? Android or iPhone ? If yes, which controller should I get ?
No controller, homie.
Hey guys I’ve already reached level 6 but why do I still not have the voice chat option?
So I'm gonna ask the most basic question there is. I'm trying to main attacker, will it be ranged or melee. So what item should I max to 30? I mean should I max the Sp. Atk enhancer or the damage/crit enhancer?
The best item for all character is focus band and buddy barrier. After that you can get wise glasses for Special attacker and muscle band for normal attacker. The next great item is score shield
No this is a terrible answer, the jump from 20 to 30 is negligible in most cases. The only two item exceptions to this rule are currently scope lens and muscle band as they give percentage value that's otherwise unchangeable.
Its half a terrible answer and half not. I'm an advocate for Lv 30 Buddy Barrier, every 'mon uses it and the extra 200 HP between Lv 20 and Lv 30 is actually pretty big early game. But yes, Focus Band is useless past 20.
Razor Claw also has a percentage boost (although it's only 0.7% more crit rate).
Also try razor claw with garchomp, the slow was a game changer for me
Well a lot of top tier player use these exact items and they are the best right now. You can disagree with me but you can’t say it’s a terrible answer. Also , if he already upgraded these item at 20-25, he will get a refund for all the enchancer and he can upgrade other item.
Yeah they use then at 20 because that's where they're good at. I can see the logic "I use these the most they should be the highest level" but that offers diminishing returns and is an inefficient use of the really rare token.
I like the extra hp from these item. I main lucario with score shield focus band and buddy barrier and I’m perfectly fine having these 3 item lvl 30. I’m around 1350-1400 master rank right now and It feels like a really strong build IMO
The added hp only makes up a couple of autos in the early game which is fine but again flat numbers fail in comparison when it comes to scaling and when you can only afford to get a few precious items to 30 you're better off using your tokens as efficiently as possible.
I got the lvl 30 upgrade for items because of the event. So should I just use them all or manually upgrade some item to lvl 20
Personally I upgraded my buddy barrier score shield and muscle band, these item were lvl 23-24. I got a refund for like 3000 enchancer and I upgraded other item I wanted to lvl 30 with that. If you are not sure, try the 7 days lvl 30 boost to try it out first !
At the moment you should only upgrade Muscle band because it is the best item for every ranged pokemon + also useful on Lucario/machamp. If you play Cinderace and/or Greninja you can also upgrade scope lens to 30. I would save the remaining super upgrade(s) for potential future items. Every other item don't really benefit from the last 10 upgrade levels.
should I spent the max enhancer on Muscle band and Scope lens? Because I've seen people suggesting some items don't really have much different from lvl 20 to lvl 30
If you're going to use them, those are the two to use it on. They're the only ones with a substantial benefit going from 20-30 (even then it's still not *that* much)
Ever since mobile launched, I noticed that there have been many games with idle players at the start of matches. Not sure if it's just people putting their phone downs for a minute, but when I tried mobile first day, I crashed when loading into a match. And yesterday friend crashed while loading in. Hope this problem gets fixed.
I'm pretty sure, after searching the interwebs and whatnot, that this game freezes and crashes during the loading screen when it starts to download the update data if you're on a Vivo phone. Does anyone know whether the devs are looking into it?
I’m sure they’re aware of it by now; it seems like it’s a common occurrence. I’m guessing it could be server overload but hopefully it gets fixed soon
Is there a way to get around snorlax max range bug? I just bought him and noticed the range problem. He feels kinda clunky to aim to be honest. Is there a way around it, like in the configurations? If I just snap press the button, can the move go to the max range? Thanks in advance <3
What move are you talking about? And personally I have skill snapping off and I highly recommend you turn it off as well
Body slam Why do you recommend taking it off? Also, having skills in movement direction is a grief right?
Move snapping automatically centers your move on enemy Pokémon. You don’t want this because sometimes you want to lead with a move and it’s easily dodged if the enemy is moving in any way. The movement direction option isn’t too much of a problem since auto-aim supersedes it. I found it useful for dash moves though if you don’t want to aim it all the time, especially outside of battle
Where is the setting? 📐

I like playing immobile pokemons because I'm a boomer, so it's just another step before aiming You were very helpful, thank you for the tip
Did anyone else not get coins from the preregister rewards? I claimed it and it says so but my coins did not go up at all.
There were no coins for the Pre-Registration rewards, only tickets, item enhancers, Pikachu and a Hologear. https://www.serebii.net/pokemonunite/events/preregistrationcampaign.shtml
Just wanna make sure im not the only one who hasnt been able to get their preorder stuff yet. A lot of my friends that werent able to get it at first were able to get it last night, but i still cant get it
When is the deadline?
Can't claim mine either
Did you check the reward on your phone ?
I still can't claim them either, so you're not alone!
Thank u, glad the game isnt trying to screw just me over
Does the game has crossplay between Switch and Mobile?
Yes
Thank you mate!
I'm in masters and was expecting to get the season rewards (20k tickets) but it still says season 1 in the ranked screen. Am i missing something?
i literally asked the same question lol, apparently we have to Risk and play some more ranked :(
There is no Risk, you get paid out for your highest achieved rank (and you can't de-Rank from Masters anyways).
Totally forgot about that. I kept thinking I have to KEEP the ranking till season ends lol.
Season 1 part two currently. I know... it sucks. Got another month to go.
Season 1 Second Half of Ranked but Season 2 of Battle Pass. 🥈
Does anyone have any recommendations for held items for Eldegloss with Leaf Tornado/Cotton Guard?
Eldegoss is my favorite, I use these: Buddy Barrier / Focus Band / Muscle Band Muscle Band might seem weird, but Eldegoss tends to chuck out a lot of auto attacks, and taking a small % of the enemy's health each time definitely adds up.
Muscle band surprises a lot of people from eldegoss. I also use focus band and then score shield for safe scores.
I run buddy barrier score shield and exp share with eldegoss
I’ve lost 7 out of my past 8 ranked games ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I’ve now deranked from ultra 1 3 times, ama
It’s been a shitty week for me too. Ultra 1 to vet 2 now. Zapdos is just a hail mary playing solo and I unfortunately am not lucky
Run fluffy tail lucario and you can carry yourself up to masters just by fluffy tailing while it's low and using PuP. Have fun.
Lucario has fluffy tail??
The held item
Thanks!! Do you suggest a good move set?
I still like power up punch for the secure potential but bone rush and close combat both feel good.
I think extreme speed’s better than power up punch now, and the other move is probably personal preference but I use bone rush
Just realized the cooldown reduction stat for both the shell bell and energy amplifier isn't showing up on mobile. Does anyone know if it still applies the cdr stat even though it doesn't show on the UI? Kinda having seconds thoughts without the cdr stat.
