Blissey reigns supreme as the best Support Pokémon in Pokémon Unite. Its user-friendly abilities make it an excellent choice for beginners. With the Soft-Boiled ability, Blissey can rapidly restore the HP of its party members. Beyond healing, Blissey enhances its allies' attack speed and movement with buff abilities. Despite being a healer, Blissey is durable and can handle substantial damage. Even with the Helping Hand cooldown increased from 8 to 9 seconds, Blissey remains a top-tier pick for any match.

Darkrai is a top-tier Speedster in Pokémon Unite thanks to its exceptional speed, allowing it to swiftly navigate the battlefield. However, its fragility means it can't endure much damage. To counter this, Darkrai boasts potent attack abilities capable of taking down multiple foes. Its Hypnosis ability can also put opponents to sleep temporarily. To excel with Darkrai, you'll need to stay on the move and avoid prolonged engagements.

Galarian Rapidash is another Speedster worth considering in Pokémon Unite. Like Darkrai, it has lower health but compensates with a focus on burst damage and self-sustain. If you struggle with Darkrai, Galarian Rapidash's Pastel Veil ability, which grants immunity to hindrances, might be more your style.

Mimikyu excels as an All-Rounder in Pokémon Unite with its blend of offense and defense. Its Disguise passive ability allows it to start battles in a protected state, negating the first hit it takes. Upon taking damage, Mimikyu enters Busted Form and marks the attacker, boosting its own movement speed and damage against them when approaching. Mastering Disguise is crucial for minimizing damage and maximizing counterattacks, making Mimikyu a formidable opponent.

Miraidon stands out as one of the best Attacker units in Pokémon Unite. With high burst damage and the Hadron Engine passive, which generates an Electric Terrain that boosts its move damage by 30% and allies' move damage by 10%, Miraidon is a force to be reckoned with. This terrain also enhances ally goals' healing and shielding while reducing enemy goals' by 30%. While not the easiest to master, Miraidon's powerful abilities make it a top pick for any match.

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, offering protection against crowd control. Additionally, Umbreon's Mean Look ability creates a zone that traps enemies and slows their movement.

Tinkaton is a standout All-Rounder in Pokémon Unite, combining offensive and defensive capabilities to suit various team compositions. Unlike many Pokémon that require careful positioning, Tinkaton thrives on an aggressive playstyle. Its Unite Move offers crowd control by briefly incapacitating enemies while dealing damage. Notably beginner-friendly, Tinkaton is an excellent choice for new players looking to make an impact.
That's all you need to know about the best Pokémon in Pokémon Unite. Mastering each Pokémon's abilities and playstyle is key to dominating the battlefield.
Pokémon Unite is available now on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch.
