The whole "Zapdos fight" is spot on. Idk how many games I've lost cause my team is trying to get Zapdos despite that we are winning!

18:18 I do believe the Eldegoss dunked their points precisely because they already won the team fight, and so, the Rotom would have more than likely gotten to the goal before any of the high-scoring players could dunk themselves. A quick dunk to get rid of the goal, so Rotom could advance, was probably a quick-thinking decision to not risk the Rotom and keep the ball rolling. Whether it was worth it or not, I can't judge, but they did proceed to destroy your other goal regardless

I want the entire Unite community to find this video. I keep falling out of Veteran cause teamates are so obsessed with Zapdos when we're winning 😭

Protip: Scoring with any amount of points gives you 10% Unite move charge.

Pro tip: have a main, but also know how to use one of each type well so you can fill in any teams weakness:)

In terms of scoring there's also a thing you should've mentioned because this is very important specially for supporters. If you have under 10 points to score, you dunk them almost instantly, and scoring makes you invulnerable AND heals you. So if you see yourself pushing or diving under a goal and you dunking that amount won't delete it, it is worth to blow your cds, dunk to dodge theirs and get some health back. Plus if you are equipped with scoring items you get that benefit too. This is only useful for characters that won't be last hitting like defenders and supporters, but it is something to keep in mind. Edit: I also forgot to mention scoring also reduces your unite move cd, so the more you are scoring the faater you get to use it. Playing aggressive in this game lets you snowball super fast, but always try to score the max amount in the goals you can!

My only addition to the scoring 1 point tip: It's highly beneficial if you are using the held items that provide stat boosts each time you score. Whether it's 1 point or 50, you get the same boost each time. Score as many 1 pointers as possible quickly and you eventually start sweeping the enemy team very quickly.

You can't really blame Manscaped for backing out, though. Probably didn't figure most players have any hair on their balls yet.

I like how you stopped the slow motion replay of last hitting right before you take a minion from the charizard.

I would add a personal pet peeve of mine - Not recalling after scoring with a Zapdos advantage to defend the base until the timer runs out. Lost 2-3 games in Expert because of this. Whats the point of fighting on a enemy goal when 2-3 opponents are left wandering around with the potential to score 200 points and fuck you over anyway.

This is amazingly helpful, I am new to MOBAs and while I have a really basic idea of how roles work, this is the first person to explain how to effectively utilize each class. For the longest time I was always stealing kills from my partners as an Eldegoss because I thought that evolving ASAP was the key, but thanks to this video I don't do it anymore. Ya got a sub from me, brother.

Super comprehensive, ngl I never really look at the points available in the goal when I score. From now I will be more mindful, but I play Garchomp so some games I will need to rush level 10 with suboptimal scoring patterns, sorry in advance teammates.

I’m a Garchamp main and my teammates always be stealing my last hits when I’m a just a gible lol

As an Absol main, I kept trying to pick characters in solo to help with synergy (that's how Eldegoss became my second). Then, I realized that just because jungle has been taken and called, I can still play as bottom Absol. Many Pokemon can have a couple different functions of you build and plan right. I can now play Absol as a jungler, attacker, scorer, etc. So as long as your teams synergy isn't complete terrible (at least one defender/support and a jungler) just pick your main. Points don't matter till Zapdos. Remember my score Absol? It was sick. Too bad I never realized that the goals really aren't worth that much experience and I would have been better in center or bottom. Now I have much more consistent wins, all because I stopped worrying about the score until Zapdos. If you are going center, don't touch the first Aipoms. If your top or bottom don't touch the jungle pokemon. ANY OF THEM NOT A SINGLE POINT OF DAMAGE. Drednaw is the first win condition. You get first Drednaw and you get a huge advantage. Know your match ups. As an absol main, I know my match ups really well. When an opponent is out of lane, pushing too hard, if there's a Zeraora, I know to stay away because Absol can't outpace Zeraora in a lot of ways. I know I can literally dance around Snorlax and get KOs if I keep up my attack and watch for Snorlax attacks. This is just an example, but know your match ups. Know them with your play style, etc.

early scores with small numbers are really important if you run the atk, spatk, and hp score scaling items.

So glade I found this video. Thank you. I've never played a MOBA and was having trouble understanding the more specific things I needed to be doing. A lot of other videos were either about one specific character or pretty much everything the tutorial went over. I glad this went over more about just how to play the game like a MOBA.

Last point helped me out. I'd been thinking the excess points were wasted if a goal only needed say 5 points left and I used 30+. And shame on Jack Daniel's for not wanting to sponsor a Pokemon Unite video. Pokemaniacs like to party sometimes too.

Hope your channel explodes, this is great content. It’s a bummer that Blockbuster backed out of the sponsorship.

Solo queue has been devastating for me. I have always had the worst luck. Literally went 5 games where the person I was top laning was feeding-running strait into the enemy while 4 levels under. Went from hard stuck on Veteran Class 1 back down to Expert Class 4. I hope people watch this and learn a bit. Great video by the way 👍👍

Thank you so much for talking about last hitting and how important it is to let the damage scalers get the experience early. I can't count the number of times I've had to fight an eldegross for experience as cinderace

Can't believe taco bell pulled out on the sponsor

I guess this is aimed at noobs to MOBA's. Here's another big mistake people make: 3:30 trying to score when enemy team is about to or has just spawned, they will 100% interrupt you and you'll be at a disadvantage in that fight. And my greatest bother in any moba is people tunneling on their opponents, forgetting to farm and getting behind for no reason.

Let's be honest, Mr mime isn't really a support support. He's like an attack support. Sometimes I get more kills than the junglers and attackers 😂

"For some bizarre reason their Eldegoss turned their points in, which seems like a mistake" Immediately shows your team ready to surrender the game.

Something a lot of people do not know is that Drednaw gives you 50% damage mitigation towards Zapdos for 90s. It may not be wise to take it prior to Zapdos spawning unless you can kill it before 3:30.

The 1st one is 100% true. I main a greninja and there was another greninja on the enemy team. People stole my kills so often that the greninja was fully evolved while i was still a frokie.

I had someone score 8 points after 2 minutes when I was winding up to score 50 and he shattered the goal with only 2 and we lost by 70

Great tips on fighting zaptos. It explains a lot why many times I feel ahead yet lost, it's becuz we fought the zaptos and got ruined by the other team lol.

On the last point it happened so many times to me. When there's about 5-20 points left to cap a goal and I have 50 points banked my teammate will always just cap their 20 points and not let me take it because I take much longer to cap. Then I get killed later on and lose the only opportunity I had to dunk that 50

Thank you for making this video! this is the first game my boyfriend and two of my best friends are playing a game together! and this video helped us to become a great team!

My team engaging in pointless teamfights at the opponents second goal is probably the most annoying thing I have to deal with. The only reason to ever really go for second goal before 2 minutes is if you see 4-5 opponents somewhere else on the map and know you can score for free or you are pushing with at least 3 other people from your team. Everything else is almost guaranteed death.

Thanks for the tips.Found this video really helpful. Also,please. If you see Zeraora,Charizard,Ninetales and Cinderace Composition,and the team needs a tank,please,don't pick Venusaur or Greninja. Balancing your team is key.Sometimes the team doesn't even need an All-Rounder or a Support,not even a speedster,however,it needs Tanks and Attackers.

Okay, hand down the biggest mistake I'd add to the list is stop throwing the game in Champ Select. If your team already has 2 Attackers, 1 All-Rounder, 1 Speedster, then chances are, you locking in Venusaur won't improve your chance of success at all.

One possible reason for goaling with a small amount of points is making use of the goal scoring stat increase items (Aeos Cookie, Sp.Atk Specs, Attack Weight) to take full advantage of those items for their buffs as quickly as possible. They max out at 6 stacks so getting a quick 6 goals near the start of the match by dunking even just 1 point in can get the ball rolling with those items Unfortunately there are still better items but that might just be the reasoning teammates score with so little points sometimes

I consider myself and the group I play with to be pretty good but this video helped all of us. There is some really good info here on rotations for neutral objectives and point scoring.

I think a counterpoint to the final part is if they're using a held item with permanent boosts for scoring goals, especially Snorlax with the health one, more goals can make a big difference. Just a thought.

19:30 People that hold onto 50 or 40 points drive me insane. He was in the right. They probably already started before they saw your points if they saw them at all. I’ve lost too many matches where two teammates sat on 50 or 40 points rather than scoring them when they could

The video is fine but the first point about supps and tanks giving there lane partner all the last hits pre lvl 4 is wrong, because at lvl 4 (snorlax at lvl 6) they get there first move choice and you want to hit this power spike with both laners so you can contest the first vespa spawn. After the first move choice you can happily funnel all that exp to your carry.

*7 Mistakes I commonly See People Making:* 1. Not taking advantage of or participating in any of the important team fights. Or going for the main objectives (even when they're losing.) *When you do this you're allowing the other team to take all of the experience and top you in levels.* 2. Wandering around half/entire match with max points and not attempting to score them. *This is bad cause an opponent on the other team, can just take you out and steal all your points to potentially take out one o f your goals. 3. Farming or fighting the other team at inappropriate times (when really behind), instead of just trying to score or go for an objective. *When you do this you're setting you and your teamates up for even more complete failure.* 4. Idling, constantly surrendering, or just not being a good team player in general. *if this sounds like you, please don't participate in anymore ranked matches until you have some more experience under your belt. You're just sabotaging your teams ability to win.* 5. Not being defensive of your allies or your goal zones. *This allows the enemy team to easily take out your teammates and your goals.* 6. Trying to fight an objective alone. *When you do this you're making it easy for the other team to snipe it from you.* 7. Not letting your lower level allies collect farm. *This makes it hard for them to participate in battle.*

#1 is Venusaur. Not picking him, mind you, but never autoattacking. His 3-hit auto is the best in the game: ranged line hit and stun that does stupid damage.

The issue with these tips is they require a semi-competent team, these are all pretty given stuff I knew but I consistantly get teams in random MM that just don't do these, I often have games where I'm playing a support like Snorlax and both team just Ignore Regirock/ice/steel for 4+ minutes of the game and since I'm snorlax I can't REALLY solo it so I just opt to jsut ignore it, similarly even though I mid a lot I've often found teams just don't rotate to objectives or don't even contest it, like I'll vacate the Jungle to go rotate for Regi and my team just enters the jungle to farm leaving me to either solo, or try to fight 3 enemies solo at Regi, that's just one example but a lot of these games have issues like that (Ultra 4 btw) The most I "break" one of these is the Tier 2 one, often my teamies just braindead walk to the first goal so I'll try to get my team to walk into Regi after the first goal is taken then I'll just go in and zone the enemy back and distract them while my team takes the objective

As far as scoring goes, I’ve noted squeezing in a few lower point dunks early game can really help. With each dunk giving exp and healing. Those early dunks can allow you to have a strong level advantage in your lane and gave a good upper hand on the first dreadnaw.

Could we get a video around fighting opponents, team fights, when to push, how to approach different opponent pokemon team comps?

Excellent tips for both new players to mobas and veterans.

I loved these tips...I was never too into playing LoL but got into this after quiting overwatch...for someone who needed a refresher this was the perfect video. Thank you!!!😁

What this tells me is to have a team with good communication.

Tip 1, and 2, is so useful, i didnt even realise i was doing these, and these were bad, my thought process was were gonna kill zapdos before the other team kills it, so they cant get zapdos, if we get it first, im so dumb, i didnt even think about preventing the other team from getting zapdos.

I feel like the statement "Defenders/Supports always let Attackers take last hits" isn't a good idea. Masters player myself, I'd rather have Slowpoke and Crustles take the last hits so they hit 4 first then they should be letting the attacker take last hits. Same thing with Eldegoss and Wigglytuff to a lesser extent. Obviously not if your Ninetails, her level 4 spike is just as huge if not bigger, same thing Machoke his level 5 spike is so big that you should be rushing it at all costs as a laner. But Cinderace doesn't get much going from 4-5, same thing with Gardevoir or even Greninja. It's way more situation than your making it out to be.

I felt that in the early game, you should be turning in any points bc it becomes much harder to score them in after 8 mins and you just end up stacking a lot and losing a chunk bc youbdie

This was an awesome video I knew most of all of it I actually learned a lot from the comments. The Zapdos thing is huge I have lost so many games that we were winning hands down and I put a lot of work into because someone comes over and starts attacking the dos

Hey man, new to your channel with Pokemon Unite and basically a noob with MOBAs (played a little League years ago and was instantly turned off by the community). Thank you for this video and the humble way you speak about yourself and respectful way you talk about other players in your videos (even when they're messing up).

Take their goals, pressure their audino spawns. Winning is not enough, we need to completely crush their spirit and prevent any chance they have of making a come back

8th mistake Stealing the jungle of your jungler...

I like going for early scores since it gives you some experience which can help snowball the lane

Spragels, have you thought of making a new set of beginner tips videos like this one? I know the new map isn’t necessarily new at this point. A lot of the tips in this video still apply. I have a couple friends that just started playing the game and they’re doing pretty well for beginners. I pointed them to this video and a couple others of your’s highlighting beginner tips and how to push on ranked. I started a new account to play with them on in hopes of me not pulling in higher level opponents. As a team we’ve pushed midway through veteran on ranked but we’re kind of at the point where we win a couple then get paired against a team of level 50 players that haven’t played in a long time and decided to log in in search of blood. Most games I’m pretty much carrying for a lack of better words. 10-20 kills and 70k-120k damage every game. They only have about 150 games worth of experience. They definitely are picking up some stuff. The main mistakes they’re making is that they’re playing Charizard and overextending and trying to push enemies on goals when they shouldn’t. Charizard doesn’t do that much damage especially unevolved when you’re trying to kill enemies especially if the enemy is camping on a goal. Me trying to help them not die will play overaggressive in those moments in hopes of keeping them alive. Sometimes it works but I know that’s not the right way to handle it. I’m not a pro by any means but I’ve watched a lot of pros like yourself and I know that has helped me improve over time and try to only take fights I can win or put my teammates in a position to clean up if I die.

I have something that might be a mistake people make it’s when you are really under level like if you’re lvl 7 and they are 10 then you just keep trying to push them and they keep killing you and getting the XP for that and getting even higher when you could just go to the jungle and farm

Fix all: play with 4 teammates you can't ask for anything from randoms, not even not taking your jungle (all of it) they have the IQ of ...

yessss, we need more players both new and veterans to watch this. The limited communication system in-game makes it so frustrating when something we can clearly avoid costing the game happens.

Tip #1 SHOULD BE SHOUTED OUT! I most of the time play Greninja and for some reason majority of the randos I'm playing with just steal the last hits from me, making me feel like I'm fighting my own teammate and I hate it

I always wait to hit that second goal until after Zapdos appears. Often they're distracted by the temptation of Zapdos and leave it totally open.

I wish my teams would stop sperging out at Zapdos... Been stuck in Expert class 5 for a while.

Thanx Bro in battle in shivre city or in any map the legendary spawn even when I give it the most damage the enemy comes and steals my kill this video Helped me alot I recommend subscribing this guy

Dude....this is a godsend. Thank you for creating this, I'm in desperate need of strats. I'm going straight into battle with these tips in mind. AGAIN THANK YOU!!!

Quick tip from a production perspective - record the voice over, then record the background footage. You've saved a load of time just getting loops of footage from the game, but the audio looping is quite annoying. It doesn't ruin the video, but if you record the voice over first, you'll know how much background footage you need and can record it without 3 second loops. Another option is to just record maybe 20 minutes of each screen, then you can just use that as archive footage for any video you make in future. Little extra effort but saves time in the long run.

Loving the content mate, try to make em under 15mins though or put timestamps 👍

AND THIS VIDEO IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY RAID:SHADOW LEGENDS sorry couldn't help myself but to make the joke

For Pokemon Unite content creators, you are honestly one of the funniest ones, and there aren't that many up there. So keep up the good work my man!

Man, I am a Talonflame main, and for some reason I keep trying to get into that 2nd goal area in enemy lane, then the whole enemy team comes in a flash and bears my and my teammate's (if any teammate is present there) asses, so I 100% agree with you there. The second my spawn timer ends I go to the other lane's 1st goal. Also I do not participate much in the big mon fights, but this video maee me realize Why I should. So thanks for the tips! WARNING: Please ignore the scam bot in the replies and be cautious of any such replies you find. (Put this just in case the reply didn't get deleted)

You’re the best at these guides that I’ve seen so far! Thanks for the help and keep up the good work, I’ll recommend you to new players!

You’ll prolly hit 10k tomorrow dang

I use Snorlax w weakness policy, exp share, and score shield. I use flail and block. It’s the ultimate support build. You get most Xp from enemy(not wild Pokémon) and scoring. Block is so multipurpose it’s insane. Snorlax is basically OP in most situations given these options. Eventually you will start killing wild Pokémon though as enemies WILL start to avoid pushing your lane lol. The point is to support your teammates on your lane until you can be so tanky you use weakness policy and flail together to basically become a berserker.

I was expecting this to be super basic information but it wasn’t this was actually really interesting

Also, you passively generate 1% Unite charge per second. In this way, "ults" have a 100 second cooldown. I think that's universal. Kinda weird balance wise but could work.

Great Stuff!!! I can't believe Nike backed out, just do it you Cowards!!!

As a new player to MOBAs I came here expecting to be taught some harsh but necessary lessons - thankfully though I don't seem to be making these mistakes! I'd extend #4 to be slightly more broad and cover something I've seen through Expert ranks: fighting on the enemy goals in the early game more generally. I see it so often, where one team gets a slight advantage and chases the enemy all the way back to their, only to stand there and pick a fight while the enemy are healing up and respawning. It's so baffling and infuriating, Great vid all round - I hope my future teammates see it!

As someone who started playing week ago, thanks! My really well playing friend has been telling me a lot about this game which is nice, the only painful thing is that when people just don’t group at all :/

They also need more Pokemon of different types of Pokemon. Soooooooo many attackers.

The zapdos one is so annoying, I don't get why people feel the need to solo it when it's jus said you have a huge lead. It should be in the tutorials or something

The only mistake in Pokémon unite is playing with random players, but I did learn something from this video…I didn’t know about last hitting. So thank you

Man I have a feeling you will hit a lot of subs. I'm not surprised if you hit 1M or more. Your channel is binge worthy. Don't say yes to that sponsor.

The sponsor was going to be the enemy team, until they found out you were going to give us all tips to beat them.

Yeeeee haaaaw!!!!! First.

Wow your Pokemon Unite expertise is seriously impressive and I would seriously consider buying anything that you would recommend especially around the 10 minute mark of the video. Keep up the good work! :)

Talonflame main here (Going around 20 matches in a row without losing in) Aerial Ace busted with Brave Bird, you can harass the enemy team and stall with a potion and AA self-heal + the long BB animation which will make enemies wait for you instead of keeping going or returning back to goal while also being a good way to leave in a rush, + being amazing to pick off enemies with it's high mobility and chasing potential, it's a very good pokemon

Also keep in mind that destroying the first goal gives that team a couple of valuable creeps at their side, kill those and get out instead of scoring or else they can use those to catch back up a little

What a perfect video. All great tips. Also nice celes and Locke pictures. Remember Locke being sneaky in all his disguises and saves her?!.. Good times

The way you articulate things is perfect for understanding youll have a great career doing voice overs

I played lots of mobas over the years and I feel like this games low skill cap kind of tickles that sweet spot that dudes have where they just want to goof around and assume they'll always just stomp the enemy because they're better than them I realized after watching this I'm extending a lot more than I need to and taking fights on Zapdos unnecessarily, it's cool to see and I'm glad I could find something I could work on.

Thank you! This was so helpful! For some reason I thought it was better to save 50 points for the later goals and dunk with smaller amounts but now I understand I've been doing it completely wrong 😂

4:55 That is a decision that makes sense, taking the Drednaw right before zapdos for a defense boost. But it turns out that might screw you out. I have seen people reporting that Drednaw's shield actually PENALIZES YOU during the Zapdos fight as it reduces the damage dealt to it (ONLY to Zapdos, not Rotom, wild Pokemon or enemies) by around 55%. This makes it take WAY too long and if you kill the whole enemy team they may be able to come back in time and still steal it. This game is nuts, they have way too many hidden mechanics that screw you around. Why.

This is really helpful for beginners and I hope RANDUMBS will try to get better knowing these tips

Thanks for these. The more people know the better this game will be. I think you were sponsored by BMW.

Zapados is important though, if you don’t get them if you lose it the enemy team can make an insane come back.

What annoys me a lot is when my partner and I are defending a lane pretty well and my other teammates decide to jump to our lane 😒 like why !!!! Then they leave their lane wide open and the whole game goes to shit.

Just found this channel yesterday and I've been binging the playlist. I like the humor

another pro tip mostly concerning cinderace at the team fight if you see him still alive during zap fight and the whole other team is dead but you dont see him check all the grass before attacking zap ive seen lots of games stolen by cinderace hiding in the top left right or bottom grass zeraora absol and delphox also do this as well

I think one of the biggest factors that affect the gameplay is that most people who play this game is not used to playing MOBA games and are used to pokemon games that are adventure type like pokemon emerald or it's other versions

In the last tip the Rotom was too close and would have taken out the goal by itself, Eldegoss did the right thing by quickly dumping 13 and saving the buff for the next goal so everyone could dunk more points.

As an add on for higher tier players, the only time you should care about scoring early is either if you capped at 30 before bosses spawn or you are running an item that boosts your stats when you score. It does count if you slam just 1 point

I really love how he didn't do all his advice in the beginning not last hitting a the audino and last hitting the audino
