While celebrating its first anniversary, Pokemon Unite is now rolling its new season. With updates bringing us a light patch and some game balance updates and also some interesting new Pokemons, it is time to talk about which Pokemon will surely dominate Aeos Island and help you easily climb to Master Rank!
In the Anniversary Update (Version 1.6.1.2) Pokemon Unite introduced us to the Icy Glaceon Event, featuring indisputably the best and the coldest Eeveelution there is. Along Glaceon comes new exciting game modes, a cool new Battle Pass, and buffed Ranked Season rewards.
With many features to look forward to as the season progress, let's now head on to ranking the best Pokemons at dominating the current Pokemon Unite meta. Let's start the
S Tier
Glaceon
Glaceon enters Aeos Island with a really strong impression. As an attacker with its Icicle Spear and Icy Wind moves, Glaceon can easily hunt down single enemies with the massive damage that these moves cause. Players can partner Glaceon with a bulky Defender like Blastoise or Crustle and secure skirmishes on early to late game. Also with its Snow Cloak, Glaceon can survive Zapdos clashes because of its damage negate and crowd control immunity. But beware, be familliar firsts with Glaceon's ice crystal mechanic before heading to ranked games.
Hoopa
Hoopa is undoubtably the best utility support there is. With its really cool and unique mechanics, teams can easily secure objectives with Hoopa's help. When the game calls for strategic plays, you can always count on Hoopa to help secure victories. Just a reminder, great communication is still key to executing awesome plays.
Cinderace
Cinderace may be an easy opponent to trample on at early game, but its late-game potential has always proved to be lethal. Cinderace has the power to blitz enemy frontlines with its reliable and rapid attack speed, together with a high critical-hit rate. Cinderace is ever-useful at decisive late-game clashes. Just always be mindful about your HP.
Aegislash
If you are adept at initiating teamfights, Aegislash is the best Pokemon for you. With its duelist-like style of fighting mechanics, you can flip any duel to your favor with the help of its sustained healing effects and boosted attacks.
Pikachu
Just like on the TV series, Pikachu can prove to be a really reliable carry. Pikachu almost has a full offensive arsenal with high damage and even stuns. Pikachu is a really tough opponent as its Unite Move almost always readily available, because of fast charging.
Absol
Even though lacking HP to sustain high damage output from enemies, Absol is still one of the heaviest damage dealer in the game. If your playstyle involves hunting down single opponents and lurking at tall grass and jumping on unsuspecting enemies, Absol is the Pokemon to be. Absol deals insane amounts of damage coupled with good mobility.
A Tier
Blissey
Blissey is currently the best healer Pokemon in the game. As Blissey joins the battle, it protects it teammates from burst damage. This Pokemon can really boost anyone's chances of winning by always staying near your team's damage dealer and defenders. Blissey, though cannot do much when it is alone.
Azumarill
With recent HP and skill buffs, Azumarill is a Pokemon that can absorb a considerable amount of damage while also contributing damage.
Zeraora
With its Unite Move ready at level 9, Zeraora now is a much greater threat at midgame. With recent patches granting Zeraora boosted damage on some of its abilities, it boosts its reputation as a heavy damage dealer.
Delphox
Delphox fiery moveset can easily command opponents to keep a distance with its area denial abilities. Its Unite Move also provides quite valuable healing reduction, which can really help any team win at teamfights.
Tsareena
With the past updates, Tsareena proved to be a really tough Pokemon, retaining its high sustain and survivability. Tsareena also boasts heavy area damage, and it even has the best single target move in the game to pin your toughest opponents.
B Tier
Greninja
This Pokemon is considered to be one of the best Attackers in the game. With its projectile attacks, high critical-hit rates, and dash mechanics, it can easily hunt down single enemies. Greninja is also a low-base HP Pokemon which means that it cannot sustain receiving high damage.
Lucario
Lucario is the true definition of an All-Rounder. Even with its tanky characteristics, it can easily win teamfights with its considerable amount of sustained healing and damage.
As the season continues, some changes can still happen. This tier list is just a guide to determine the toughest Pokemons, what wins games is teamwork - Afterall it is Pokemon Unite!
Just a quick PSA, Pokemon Unite changed its ranking system where players seem to be ranking down instead when climbing ranks. For example, players will now be leveling up from a full crystal Veteran 1 to a Ultra 5. These changes in the game are included in the latest patch.
