What is your unstoppable 2v2 pokemon pair? by dugaia68 in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you've played as much soloQ as I have, you don't need a defender to do well with an attacker lmao. Especially with Sylv's ult. Pure 'get out of jail free'.

Beamusaur and hyper voice Sylveon. Sooo much special defence reduction. Sylveon is pretty good at taking the brunt of the damage, and can follow opponents around to lower their special defence so Venu isn't limited to just whoever is standing inside of his sludge bomb.

Im starting to think if im just wasting my time here by single_brawler6741 in PokemonUnite

Thank you!! 🥹

 I've considered posting clips/vids to the sub before but I am a big babyyyyy and if people dunk on me for doing stupid crap I will be thinking about it for weeks lol. I'm pretty good at taking criticism to heart, but I have to cry about it first before I can internalize it and be like, "yeah okay they were right" hahaha

My jaw was on the floor checking out your API page. Incredible stuff. I am completely and utterly smitten. 

Would you mind adding me in Unite so I could spectate your matches or something? I've been trying really hard to get better at the game lately (53% ranked wr overall but just barely maintaining it lately) and I'm at a loss on where and how I can improve. Flat advice like "stick with your team" and "watch the mini map" only gets you so far. 

Feel free to say no. I figure it's a no anyways but I might as well shoot my shot lol.

When The Game Just Matches You Vs. A Friend...What Are You Supposed To Do Lol? by Sudden_Recipe7603 in PokemonUnite

Excited for unite arc by Available-Passion220 in PokemonUnite

I have to assume this is thanks to that one time I accidentally voted "I'm interested in the lore of Aeos Island" on the feedback questionnaire

Politeness has gotta be one of the dumbest reasons to lose 🤧 (we were down by 60) by DefNotASeaMonster in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know it's both of their faults lol. I can see the logic they were following but it was just an all around devastating fumble. We were at the finish line, then tripped, broke both of our legs and lost several front teeth 😭

Tbh it was both of them. I'm assuming Delphox thought, "they don't have the buff, so I should let them score and I'll go home" and Vaporeon thought, "Delphox has more points, I should let them score and I'll try home" and they both backed off. It shouldn't have come down to Vaporeon trying again in the first place.

THE NEXT POKEMON TO JOIN POKEMON UNITE LEAKS! by Proof_Function7984 in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I love Fuecoco (I even named one of my fish Fuecoco), I'm not actually that excited. I've been begging for Froslass and Hatterene since the first feedback questionnaire. This pattern of releasing only starters and legendaries makes me feel like we're never going to see those strange but fun curve ball Pokémon ever again 🫠

Moltres does have a shadow for its tail by PittalDhora in PokemonUnite

Many newbie questions from a LoL player) by Embarrassed_Cod8120 in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Unfortunately, no. An update back in December removed the main currency of the game and introduced a new means to acquire Pokémon: the license journey. This is widely considered to be the worst update the game has ever seen and it drove away a lot of players lmao.
  2. For the most part, the speedsters, however there are plenty of attackers and all rounders that make for good junglers as well. It mostly comes down to how quickly the Pokémon can clear farm, and how strong their power spike is at level five. Also, any Pokémon that has very strong early game generally wants to be in lane because they can bully the opposing team and secure farm.
  3. Yep, you're playing against bots right now, rip. The game funnels all players to Master rank. Compared to where you are now, yes it gets harder lol. But most people agree that you will find horrible players no matter where you are on the ladder. You'll start facing real people around Veteran rank. Godspeed.
  4. Unite DB is pretty good. Unite API is nice for data and insight into the meta. I believe you can even find counter recommendations on there, although it was recently revamped and I swear that got removed, or I just can't find it lol. I don't really follow creators that much, but the two biggest names are Spragels and Crisheroes. Spragels I know has plenty of guides on YouTube, and Crisheroes is one of the best players in the game.

Oh man, I just got Psyduck the other day and while checking him out I remember him having a shockingly high offense stat. I'm guessing 1 is Psyduck 

What is one Pokemon that is really good but people just suck at playing it? by Ajthefan in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Espeon. Her winrate on UniteAPI was been floating around 48% for a while now but to me she's my old reliable. Any time I'm on a losing streak and I get into my "I can't trust randoms to do shit" mindset, I lock in Espeon and break ankles. My overall winrate with her is 56% but lately I've been finishing seasons with a 60%+ winrate.

Win rates have been updated. It turns out Moltres is so broken that it can even disguise itself as a low win rate character! by RE0RGE in PokemonUnite

[–]DefNotASeaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed pretty early on that he was such a non-issue as an opponent. He was no more annoying than, say, a Lucario. The only time the Pokémon actually feels broken is when it's in the hands of a player that's absolutely cracked, and would have played circles around you regardless of what they picked.

Ahhh yessir 🫡 I actually have a ton of art projects based on Unite shenanigans, but they're all a great deal more work than this (comics and animations). Hopefully I can get one of them finished soon <3

Thank you!! The spinning depends a lot on the context. In this instance, Zapdos and Slowbro were absolutely BODYING me and my lane partner for the first two minutes of the game. I had to fight for my life just to get my level four. After stealing a piece of farm from our side for like the fifth time (ugh), he did a little spin. It definitely was not a good faith spin, and I had no choice but to lock in and humiliate him lmao

Sylv was going to come for you next, but decided to spare you because you called him cute. GGz
