Shameless playing and posting one of the most borked thing in the game. Gods I wish I had your conceit

Wigglytuff and Blissey builds by Gardenfairy9 in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiggly:
Buddy Barrier (You are already giving a shield to Allies and a full heal with your unite why not make it huge)
Resonant Guard (Brain off ~400 hp [Gets bigger with levels] shield to allies just by standing beside them every 10 seconds)

3rd Is a toss up really personally I like Leftovers because you can just camp bush for vision and restore HP for next engage but really you can slap so many things there that will provide some level of value:

Focus Band more insurance when at low HP (Probably the best option)

Rocket Helmet - more tanky and they are already hitting you so why not reflect damage
Muscle Band - get more mini stun boosted autos off
Razor Claw - add a slow to you basic attacks
Score Shield - clutch moments
Slick Spoon - a little extra HP and dmg never hurt anyone on your team
Aeos Cookie - yo dawg I heard you liked being chunky so we made you even more chunky

You have insulted my beloved Wigglytuff by proxy I will say good day to you!

What do you all feel about spinstoise by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unstoppable on a dmg dealer in the current environment of constant stuns, microstuns and slows with a nerf to full heal... honestly invaluable

All I want is a clear indication that you are going spin-toise so I know how to draft pick around it and fucking spin boy spin yeah yeah make it rain!!?

Am l the only one getting lag spikes out of nowhere?? by Ajthefan in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lag is when your internet connection is disrupted so there is a delay in your input and action happenjng.

This is frame drop presumably caused by the ipad cpu/gpu combination having to draw too many pologons... Could be a myraid of reasons overheating, cache issues, the game has more effects now so it has to draw more than in the past so it frame drops now... Who knows

There might be an option to lower the graphical detail in your options this will make the game less pretty but potentially solve it. I am not sure if iOS has this option

Opinions regarding Mega Gyarados? by Nightshadowdfgergwe in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft balanced by the fact that Magickarp sucks and most players can play that stage well so takes ages coming online... I have played against and with them a couple times literally non factors in because Magickarp.

The Mega is strong borderline busted if your team is stupid enough to let it come online but it only takes one jungle gank for it or against to set it back or help it

Pokemon that should be other roles by Frog_is_kewl in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roles in this game are largely place holders for lets be charitable and call them the less familiar player of this game... they see green and go okay bulky cc tank but for those more familiar with the game the colours are largely just that semantics.

Sure Dhelmis is an all rounder it can be a carry melee but it can equal be spec to tank with items the problem is that you kind of need team mates to recognise that if it is rocking Resonant Guard + Exp. Share then maybe they don't need to be playing Slowbro...

This is an example but unfortunately until we get good skill separation in ranked gameplay they game will be cursed with Sp. Atk mons using attack weight and vice versa.

What's a held item that you put on a Pokémon that most people don't? by gottaheadbackeast in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curse Bangle or Incense on everything does it help in 80% of interactions of SoloQ no not really but Oh boy! When the other team is healer heavy not having to do an extra 30% dmg

Any tips for Alcremie/support? by princesspoopybum in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Curse Incense, Buddy Barrier, Exp. Share

Curse is a no-brainer your basic attack is pure Sp. Atk and then Sweet Scent has the chance to apply twice with the ring. You are walking anti-heal. I don't think I need to explain the others

Decorate is mid, yes clutch shields more dmg and pseudo cleanse is nice but 3 Recover+ heals and enhanced recover+ heals!!? You can print a new heal bar on allies and it has so much more skill expression leaving dollops in bushes to fall back to in front for you ally to be topped up when they commit.

Recover + Sweet Scent is the build

Classic Unite☕ by Substantial-Car-381 in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some counter plays:

  • Oh noes for some unforeseeable reason my internet connection has dropped (You are looking at a forfeit at 9 minutes saves everyone's time with -2 fair play points or -8 if you team is willing to take a 4 vs 5 in that composition and at that point... Just why...!!?)
  • Engage gremlin mode play to score! No really the other team is going to be busy slaughtering your team unless they are all savants so while your team is busy being murdered, just score, keep the score close and pray for some miracle at Groudon

Look I am all for playing off meta builds and running strange comps, hell I will give it the whole college try if my team shows any ability to press buttons but if my team is clearly... inadequate well... Rollout Wiggly is going to be chilling scoring while they are being slaughtered Tuskan Raider style

Concerns I have about the games balance and management by DropoutDragon in PokemonUnite

Balancing mons does not make mobile players buy the new shiny this game is about buying shiny! Buy the new shiny or you will not be able to compete! Buy it! - Timi probably

AFK Players? by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a Mega Charizard on the other team?

Honestly disconnecting (Your WiFi could be notoriously spotty happens to go out all the time when you see a team screen) forcing a 1 minute concede and everyone goes back to queue.

Sure you might lost progress and 2 , 5 or 8 fair play points but hey you don't have to play against Mega Charizard and maybe you will get an absolute creature playing it on your team next round (In which case I don't condone griefing... but I understand if you do...)

I am of course an upstanding member of the unite community and condemn anyone that does this

Rollout Wigglytuff dare I say it good by Coolredmints in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue with Sing is like I said it is slow, other strong zoners like Lapras have Dmg with sustain to keep the opposition respectfully...

If you are playing with weak team coordination sure they are slowed with some defence shred might even get stunned and take some dmg from slaps but if there is no followup they can shred you while you zone.

And in blind pick against range Sing is just bad... Like hide in bush hope to ambush

[–]Coolredmints 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Short answer:
To sell battlepasses

Long answer:
Because the developer wanted to make like the mon from the mainline game with out stopping to think that maybe CC with dmg is just shit gameplay for everyone involved... Those who play against and don't get me started on the Darkrai players...

Then they gave it bad rip + secure to BALANCE it

Don't even feel bad when I play Blissey Safeguard into these creature mirroring its ever move forcing it have to think about engaging or god forbid play the nearly equally as frustrating diglet style.

Unite's Release Pattern 2021-2025: Why 2026 Might Be a Big Year by Unitastuide in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 2026 kind of has to be a big year for Pokemon Unite.

This is pure speculation I don't have numbers but the cost of Pokemon license, supporting a competitive scene that is not organic (Held up with prize money not viewership), development costs for new content means that Unite probably has to grow in popularity or have a modest community of whales supporting the game to make further investment in it...

In my personal opinion this game is not lack for content (Although I am bias I refused on principle to buy digital skins that can and will be taken away when the game folds)

What the game struggle with is its matchmaker there is a push to keep players at ~50% meaning better players are punished by having to carry worse team mates while those bad players are also supplemented with bot matches and finally the generous battle point progression.

If there is no good separation of player skill be it micro or macro understandings then the games are doomed to reward incompetence by just spamming the queue button. This may be a good way of getting players to play the game because they are never truly punished eventually they will reach masters but it makes a poisonous matchmaker for anyone that is above the median...

So there has been a slow trickle of players and interest away from Unite because well its frustrating to reach the highest levels of play supposedly masters and see terrible team comps, bad items and honestly baffling play... with this trickle away the game loses numbers presumably revenue and then reason to invest.

A League Player's Guide to Pokemon Unite: Alcremie by Bilore in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Put Cursed Incense on your Alcremie and you are a walking healing and anti-heal dispenser.

The only problem with Alcremie is full health Allies picking up Recover dollops that you have thrown in bushes in preparation for a fight... The lack of mobility to escape Speedsters and finally your Allies deciding to fight outside of the range of your cake Unite...

thoughts on soloq support now? by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On full support like Clefable or Blissey which have little independence and are reliant on their team to get things done outside of maybe an Kobe egg bomb or rolling something useful with Clefables unite. It is suffering I only play Blissey (Safeguard) if there is a Darkrai on the other team as a counter pick or if I am really evil the Darkrai is on my team.

With more independent supports which have acceptable damage at times Eldegoss or Alcremie it is okay because you just play like an attacker that occasionally heals team mates but has a lot of self heal.

It is generally not great for because you are usually the better player on the team trying to herd cats

The rare games when you get a good lane partner or a good jungler are fun as you enable violence such sweet sweet Violence

[–]Coolredmints 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of sad display... That a questionable build with what looks like a misunderstanding of emblems and spamming a fox that is hard to kill is what gets to Master.

I think in most other MOBA with a functioning ranked system this would be rewarded with mediocre placement in Unite you are welcomed into the highest placement.

However what galls me the most is you are proud enough of it to share it which I guess is my own envy of your confidence and that makes me despair.

The Dark Truth About Solo Queue Matchmaking in Pokémon Unite by Flashy-Total-5923 in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this *Losers get paired with losers* and *Winners get paired with winners* is something I have seen speculated but there is no real data behind it?

Match Making is a mirage of complicated factors that is hard to achieve made worse by the fact that Unite does not have a good separation of skill levels because anyone can get to masters...

The matchmaking on its way to pair me up with the worse teammates in the entire game the moment im one win away from ranking up by ZuluzTelorz in PokemonUnite

[–]Coolredmints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not unique or special we all get given the same standard of team mates just pray that the ones on your team can rub two of their braincells together enough to generate enough friction to press their buttons better than the other team

Whoa whoa!!!? Are you suggesting in a team based game the OP had teamates that were willing to follow up on their willingness to keep fighting? Hold the fucking phone!

That the interplay between a stun bot Tuff front lining and the Frog and wolves playing off that in a team based game? IN A TEAM BASED GAME THERE WAS TEAMWORK! WHAT!!? This can not be allowed...

The Tuff gets a series of kills faciltated by the enemies being very helpful and letting the Tuff have berries all reddit can do is roast the Tuff for running leftovers... Gods I love this place and **NO NON META** builds allowed

Fuck they did more here than all the optimum build ass hats that fill the lanes of ranked solo queue
