Takeaways

• 😀 Log into the game for 5 consecutive days to receive a special Holiday Gift, which includes one Pokémon from each role: All-rounder, Attacker, Speedster, Defender, and Supporter.
• 😀 If you already own all the Pokémon in a selection box, you can opt for 2,000 coins instead, up to a total of 10,000 coins if you select all 5 boxes.
• 😀 Always pick the Pokémon you're excited to play, even if it's not the meta choice, as personal enjoyment is key.
• 😀 For All-rounders, top picks include Blaziken, Mimikyu, Urshifu, and Serena, as they are currently powerful in the meta.
• 😀 Avoid Pokémon like Charizard, Machamp, and Tyranitar in the All-rounder role due to recent nerfs or underperformance.
• 😀 Attackers such as Gardevoir, Delphox, Espeon, and Mew are solid choices for strong offensive play, with Intellion and Deui offering sniper-like abilities.
• 😀 For Speedsters, Meowscarada, Leafeon, and Absol provide great burst and mobility, with Gengar and Dodrio being viable for high-skill players.
• 😀 The best Defenders to choose are Umbreon and Trevenant, known for their survivability and team utility. Greedent is a unique pick, but leaves your team without a traditional Defender.
• 😀 Eldegoss and Blissey are the top Supporters due to their powerful healing abilities. Avoid Wigglytuff, Mr. Mime, and Clefable as they have less dynamic playstyles or have been nerfed.
• 😀 Pokémon like Gengar and Dodrio require high skill and aren't for everyone, so pick them only if you're comfortable with more complex gameplay.
• 😀 Many Pokémon have distinct playstyles (e.g., Meowscarada and Gengar), which makes them enjoyable for players who like variety in their builds.

Q & A

What are the Unite Selection Boxes in Pokémon Unite?

The Unite Selection Boxes are a feature in Pokémon Unite where players can select a free Pokémon from various roles (Allrounders, Attackers, Speedsters, Defenders, Supporters) by logging into the game for five consecutive days. If you already own all the Pokémon in one of these boxes, you will receive 2,000 coins as an alternative.

What are the key recommendations for choosing an Allrounder in the Unite Selection Boxes?

Jake recommends picking Pokémon like Blaziken, Mimikyu, Zeraora, and Serena. These Pokémon are considered strong in the current meta, with Blaziken and Mimikyu being powerful recent additions. However, personal preference and playstyle should be a key factor when making a choice.

Which Pokémon from the Attackers role does Jake recommend and why?

Jake recommends Delphox, Gardevoir, Espeon, and Deui as top picks for Attackers. These Pokémon are strong in the meta, with Delphox and Gardevoir being solid mage options. Espeon is an all-rounder in the attacker role, and Deui is noted for its solid sniper role after recent buffs.

Which Attackers should players avoid, according to Jake?

Jake advises players to avoid Sylveon due to its inconsistent performance from frequent nerfs and buffs, and Duraladon, which he considers underwhelming compared to other options.

What makes Meowscarada a standout Speedster in Pokémon Unite?

Meowscarada stands out because of its unique builds and high mobility, offering players distinct playstyles. It’s a versatile and fun pick for players who enjoy speed and burst damage.

Which Speedster Pokémon does Jake recommend for players who want strong burst damage?

Jake recommends Leafeon and Absol as great picks for high burst damage. Both have excellent mobility and damage potential, with Absol being particularly strong if played skillfully.

Why should players avoid Zoroark and Dodrio as Speedsters?

Jake cautions players against picking Zoroark and Dodrio due to their high skill caps, making them more difficult to master. These Pokémon may not be ideal for players who prefer a more straightforward playstyle.

What makes Umbreon the best Defender in the game, according to Jake?

Umbreon is considered the best Defender because of its exceptional defensive capabilities and strong support potential. Jake recommends it as a reliable pick for players looking to fill the Defender role with solid performance.

Which Defenders should players avoid, and why?

Jake advises players to avoid Goodra and Greeden. Goodra is not as effective in defensive situations, while Greeden is unique but lacks strong defensive abilities, leaving your team without a reliable defender.

Which Supporter Pokémon are best for newer players, and why?

For newer players, Jake recommends Blissey and Eldegoss. Both Pokémon are strong in healing and supportive roles, with Blissey being especially user-friendly for players just starting out in Pokémon Unite.

Why should players be cautious about choosing Hoopa as a Supporter?

Jake suggests that Hoopa, while powerful, requires a high level of skill and experience to use effectively. The complexity of Hoopa’s mechanics makes it less ideal for newer players who may struggle with mastering its macro gameplay.

What is Jake's overall advice for picking Pokémon from the Unite Selection Boxes?

Jake advises players to choose Pokémon based on what excites them most, rather than just following the meta. He believes that enjoyment and playstyle should be prioritized, even if the choice isn't necessarily the strongest in the current meta.
