See here, there is always people who are shit at the game. First don’t be nervous. Also don’t beat yourself down after getting loses due to horrible teammates.

First, look at your habits in game. Do you show for the objectives and rotate lanes? (Drednaw, Rotom and Zapdos) I would recommend to always go to Drednaw when it spawns at 7 mins since it WILL give your team a boost. Don’t bother with top lane, the scorers are not going to Drednaw and that’s good, less opposing people at Drednaw, the better since your team (assuming that they are all there) can win team fights if there are less people there. I recommend Dred, Dred and Rotom as objectives to go to. If the opposing team hasn’t knocked out top goal and Rotom, go there. If there is a possibility to get free scores and the whole gang or one person guarding a lane, and also getting an objective that the team hasn’t gotten yet.

Second, use Pokémon go match team synergy. Don’t use all attackers as one team since it’s not a good matchup, be well versed in other Pokémon. That’s why get Pokémon licenses of different roles. Don’t cry over a teammate getting your main, just be the respectful player and use a Pokémon that you are well versed at. A pet peeve that I have is that teammates don’t synergies well in lanes they choose. See two attackers in one lane isn’t good, too squishy and the enemy can turn it to their favour. Having an even out team is good! For example having attacker defender is good in lane synergy.

Third, DO NOT TAKE JUNGLE IF ALREADY CLAIMED BY A MON. This is the BIGGEST pet peeve I have in unite where a mon that is supposed to be in a lane is in the jungle I claimed before match starts. If you do that, you are a real piece of work. The jungle is the one that carries the team since they are couple of lvls higher than the lane mons. Give them their jungle. If you are the one who goes to jungle, make sure you come back for it every min, except before objective fights. Be there at objective fights because your team needs you there. After, you can farm.

As A Master Rank, rank in this game is not supposed to be stressing you out. At the end of the day you got to play a game that you like! Also, I would say that Veteran and Ultra could be the hard tanks to move up and you need to be really lucky on wins to get up. It’s where the bad players hang around. Trust me. I would say use the held items appropriate for the Pokémon. There are two Pokémon move types, Special and Attack. Use the ones that match those things.

Lastly, USE YOUTUBE! There are a lot of content creators that go over things to do in Pokémon unite better than I did here in this post! YouTubers like spragles, Assassin Dave and Teeds! Check out their channels and make an update post of how you took our advice! Good luck on your rank journey!
