Click In Right Analog Stick |
By default, your Pokemon Unite controls will make your Pokemon attack the enemy with the lowest HP within range. However, you can swap this in the game settings to attack enemies with the lowest percentage HP. You can also adjust the aim assist of certain abilities.
The right analog stick is vital in Pokemon Unite, as it allows you to precisely choose the direction of many attacks. This means you can use charging abilities not just to chase enemies, but to run away as well.
Don’t forget that for targeted area-of-effect abilities, you can also adjust the position using the right analog stick. Use this to aim ahead of opponents as they run away when low on health! Practice this often and you’ll be well on your way to outclassing most opponents in Pokemon Unite.
You gain new moves as you level up in Pokemon Unite. At key levels, you'll need to pick between two different abilities to replace one of your current slots. Learning each Pokemon's moves will be vital for success.
That’s all we can teach you for the full Pokemon Unite controls, but we’ll have more guides up for the game before long, so be sure to visit our Pokemon Unite hub page. How are you enjoying your time in the Unite arena? Let us know in the comments below.
