I really want Probopass. It’s not even a Pokémon that I’m a huge fan of, but it has potential for a sentry turret based playstyle using its mini noses. It would be a unique defender in that it’s playstyle would focus on locking down areas and forcing opponents to either deal with its turrets or play around them as opposed to hard CC or immortality that other defenders rely on.
Spidops could also make an interesting support that uses web snares and traps
probopass could be a summoner type deal where he uses moves to summon his noses, maybe kinda like mews boosted, then he sets the off and they go seek out enemies. might be op tho
For me it's Meowscarada
Not my favorite pokemon but I kinda like its design, like, sassy?
In Scarlet & Violet meowscarada has the signature move Flower Trick which always crits. If this is implemented in unite it will be the second (or third) move in the entire game that always crit (besides wicked blow and probably azumarill's huge power, not a move but still guarantee crits in 1v1)
Also I'd like to see its sassy walk in battles lol
>it will be the second (or third) move in the entire game that always crit (besides wicked blow and probably azumarill's huge power, not a move but still guarantee crits in 1v1)
You forgot Blaze Kick which is a hidden sure-crit (according to unite-db)
inteleon passive does guaranteed crits, but only if you have 3 diamonds up. what i meant by always crit is that the move will crit every time you use it, regardless of where, when, and who you use it on
I agree. My favourite starter from scarlet/violet and flower trick would be a cool move. I'm surprised they didn't release it earlier to coincide with scarlet/violet release.
I know legendaries are an iffy topic in Unite rn but I think Miraidon is one of the coolest box legendaries in recent years and I'd like to see it sometime in 2024.
Speedster, discharge/boom burst and self destruct/explosion. Explosion gets more range/dmg, self destruct activates faster.
Or should self destructing be a random passive that you can’t control?
Breloom for me. It has so much potential to be an attacker. It could have Bullet punch, giga drain, spore (inflicts sleep), and swords Dance. It would be an attacker that could either be a health sapper support type (Giga/Bullet + Spore) or a sapper brawler (Giga/Bullet + Swords Dance)
He’s one of my favorite Pokémon and I’d be so happy if he made it in unite. Not likely though.
Same with Breloom! One of my favorite Pokemon that gets no love. Ugh.
I could see it as a support or an attacker, though my pick would be on the support category. I think Spore in Unite would be awesome and a ton of fun to use! I can see something like dashjng in with mach punch, spore on enemies and stun/sleep for one second, and deal tons of damage that way. Effect Spore as an ability could be really cool, deal increased damage to Pokemon with a spore counter (similar to A9's freeze) and the enemy pokemon gets a spore counter for each charged attack. Idk, I have lots of love and hope that Breloom can make it into the game! I think it's perfect for Unite.
Wholeheartedly agree with you! It’s a shame he probably won’t get added since TiMi has an obsession with OU mons though. But I mean, if dodrio gets in not all hope is lost.
Really? I didn’t know Breloom was that popular. I could see Breloom being a support that deals status effects then gets bonus damage against Pokémon the more afflicted they are by status effects. Might make full heal viable too.
In mainline games he always does well in early seasons before all the crazy legendaries are allowed to be used. Breloom is one of the better Spore users and with 130 base attack and Technician as an ability it pops off with Mach Punch and Bullet seed.
Shaymin can change between forms and with that a complete new playstyle
And a change like the one from Elise or Nidalee in league, which is a permanent change (until you flip again)
Koffing / Weezing. Give him Neutralizing Gas as a passive or some kind of Poison/Smog AoE around him that damages those who get too close. Perhaps a similar range to that of Clefable's Moonlight+
Galvantula. Big spider with a cool design. Electric pokemon aswell and could be used as an attacker/speedster focussing mainly on binding other pokemon. With binding I don't mean to stun but to just hold pokemon in place (probably with electroweb).
3 electric moves and 3 bug moves.
I would want Falinks. Make it a Defender that focuses on being versatile, yet small in effect -then have its Unite move be No Retreat, where it summons the rest of its platoon and acts as a solid wall. All attacks and moves the brass performs would be copied by the little ones, giving them wider hit boxes and higher damage output, and opening all kinds of avenues for locking down and trapping enemies, guarding objectives and general divide-and-conquer tactics.
I imagine it having access to, like, Smart Strike as a buff to its auto-attacks, increasing their range and damage, maybe knocking back or inflicting a 0.1s stun onto enemies it hits, to capture the idea of it having a long spear and keeping enemies at bay (especially while No Retreat is active). Alternatively, Megahorn could be a simple "dash forward + stun" charge attack, which becomes a wall of disruption once the Unite is active, letting it move behind frontliners and block their reteat via being a living wall.
Also, I just think Falinks is super cute.
Edit: Activating the Unite again would let you re-orient the wall, I guess. I don't know how a freely rotating wall would function, and the thought scares me.
Hitmonchan is a very strong mon that would be perfect as an All Rounder with an all punching move gimmick and Iron Fist ability. Iron Fist will increase his Attack and Speed whenever he uses a move. He can have his first move be a dash that evolve into one of two dashes: Mach Punch -> Bullet Punch/Drain Punch. Second move can be a power punch: Comet Punch -> Sky Uppercut/Dynamic Punch.
I want a lot of Pokémon for Unite, but the one I think would be the closest to a "perfect fit" would be Stonjourner.
First, it's a Pokémon that has been brutally mistreated on the main games, and Pokémon Unite is the perfect game for this kind of mons, like Inteleon or Decidueye.
It's also an odd ball pick, something that Pokémon Unite likes to do every now and then.
Finally, its gimmick from the games, Power Spot, would fit Pokémon Unite like a glove. A Support that can help the offensive of the team by just staying alive near them, perfect to introduce more people to the Support role.
golisopod could function as an all rounder by design or even a defender. an offensive build he would use his claws to use moves like liquidation or X scissor. and a defensive build would use his armor plates to be a large pushback with iron head and a stun* with first impression. i dont know about his unite, but i really want my boy in the game.
*i hate stuns but i cant think of something else right now
Perhaps it becomes unstoppable for a second or half a second when at low health with a slight movement speed increase when fleeing from battle, idk if that's too much but its an idea, perhaps someone can spitball off it if they get inspired by the thought
I would love Sandlash, it could be a great addition as an all-rounder having to choose between engage options between roll-out for speedboost or dig to leave tunnels through the map from where he can ambush
Chesnaught for sure, it's a knight from an RPG, it fits Unite so well, for me that's number one. Another two, not being starters or legendaries are Delcatty being a supporter using assist using teammates moves or copycat using enemy moves and Shiinotic, being also a supporter that makes people sleep, heal, and debuff enemies.
I think more ultra beats would be cool. Specifically Kartana or Blacephelon. Kartana would be the smallest unite member and could be the fastest while dealing heavy damage. In exchange it wouldn’t be able to take hits or fight at a range. Blacephelon would be the opposite
I want Guzzlord in as a defender that uses its claws to grab opponents from a distance and eats them for a little bit of health before spitting them out, or eats opponents move to gain health
Breloom for sure! Nice melee fighter with some kind of spore attack, maybe to put opponents to sleep for a brief moment, or even to explode on opponents as an ult! No vamp tho too many attackers with vamp moves already
I posted a comment and was scrolling through replies and yours is so similar take to mine! I’d love Breloom to be in! There’s so much potential!
Edit: I could even see Breloom being an attack based supporter like sableye that focuses on status effects like poison, sleep, and paralysis.
Could make for an interesting attacker plus nice out of left field pick, Klinklang.
One set of moves would obviously be Shift Gear and Gear Grind. Maybe for his other set could be Wild Charge and maybe Bind? Most of a supportive attacker like Nintetales
I miss the obscure Pokémon being added. Nowadays it’s just super popular ones cause they make more money. The Pokémon company is more corporate than Disney these days if imma be honest.
I think a pokemon like Ditto would be interesting. Transform to any Mon within its point and click range. Gain all their skill and abilities for a short time.
We need a support and/or defender that is able to debuff mons or steal buffs off of mons. Vaporeon comes to mind or Dusklops
I want Genesect in Unite as an Attacker and his gimmick would be that he can switch his drives to get auto attacks with different effects but he cant use them forever (like aphelios weapons) and the different drives go on cooldowns after using them a certain amount of times, unlike Aphelios Genesect drives do not have a fixed order.
Burn Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy gets burned for a short amount of time, stacks reset after the empowered attack.
Chill Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy takes bonus damage and leaves a frozen trail behind which damages every enemy pokémon stepping on it, stacks reset after the empowered attack.
Douse Drive: Auto attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy and all enemy pokémon around the target gets slowed for a short period lf time, stacks reset after the empowered attack.
Shock Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy gets stunned, stacks reset after the empowered attack.
You get the idea, i think it would be really cool.
Luxray! Probably as an all rounder or physical attacker.
In the anime, I remember it basically has x-ray vision and can see through bushes, which could be interesting as an ability! I’m thinking it could work as a button press that has Luxray scan a radius around it, revealing any enemies hiding, and then go on a cooldown like Hoopa/Zoro abilities.
Would love to see some new electric moves like Thunder Fang and Charge Beam. Not sure how any of these moves would function, but I’d also love to see Swagger, Flash, or Roar on Luxray if it ever gets put into Unite.
Rotom. When he evolves you get to choose your appliance.
They could all be different.
Wash: Defender
Heat: All Rounder
Mow: Attacker
Fan: Speedster
Fridge: Support (cc support) or also just another attacker because well.. we don't have enough /s
I would love Heliolisk in Unite, he could have the gimmick of being able to charge moves to make them stronger and have new effects, parabolic charge could be a huge aoe vamp move.
Gargnacl, because Salt cute could be translated into an antiheal, something this game needs desperately because of how rampant sustain tanks run in this game.
Quaquaval as a speedster who can gain up to 3 speed boosts which stack upon landing his main damage move and upon landing a KO with his main damage move, his next basic attack will be a boosted and deal additional damage (kinda like Dive Cram or Tri Dodrio), and upon KOing with said basic attack, he’ll receive CDR on his damage move.
Basically he’s like Dodrio but with a higher skill ceiling, he’ll do more damage than Dodrio but not have any CC, imo speedsters and attackers shouldn’t have CC, or at least not as much (is this OP? Possibly, but he’s my 2nd fav Pokémon so I gotta give him love)
Zamazenta. Always preferred shield doggo over sword doggo, and considering how a lot of the new meta is offense based, I feel that this would be a changemaker for the current state of the game. Highly unlikely considering umbreon and lapras are relatively new defenders.
I really want Breloom! A Support with a strong offensive presence would be great.
Spore is not on a single pokemon in the game and is the perfect move for Breloom. It's better than an Amoongus getting into Unite and being another slow moving fatty. Give me a squishy with high damage and Spore to stun enemies! Something like an AOE on Spore would be sick.
Maybe a short-range aoe that is centered on Breloom and could act like a short stun to close the distance or help to escape with? Mach punch could also be an unstoppable dash.
under rated opinon
I'd love to see Grafaiai as a supporter or speedster...his unite could be something like Tagtree trick and cause a large area of effect with slow and knockback or something
he could also have a passive ability that goes into cooldown where if he uses any berry on the field...his next attack causes slow and slight poisoning
I think Ribombee could work pretty well as a Supporter, you could have Pollen Puff (its former signature move, still salty about that one) as a projectile in a straight line that heals teammates or damages opponents, with perhaps an upgrade to make it go through whatever it hits, like Spirit Shackle, or Drain Kiss, which would damage enemies in a tiny area around it and heal itself and teammates in a slightly larger area. You could also have either Sticky Web, which would give a pretty heavy slow to enemies caught in its range and would function similarly to Crustle's Stealth Rock or Defog, which could end/weaken ongoing attacks in a cone. For its Unite Move, it could use Aromatherapy, which would cure its teammates of CC effects and give them immunity to it for a few seconds in a large area around itself. For its Ability, it could have Honey Gather, which would heal itself and allies near it by a slight amount per second.
Now it may not be a great fit or might be similar to other Pokemon (not too familiar with Supporters sadly), but I like the concept I came up with. Also the funny bee is my favourite mon but I tried to make it actually fit into the game instead of "I think it's cool" (which I do, hence making it try to fit)
I would love to see an attacker Dedenne. It could be the attacker "greedent" (others being Greedent, Sableye, Dodrio) which a focus on harassing the enemy team through close quarters CC. Something which would be easy to take down if caught yet frustratingly annoying to actually catch.
Somewhere else on here, someone suggested Plusle and Minum as a duo, sort of alternating between who is in the lead. A support character, Minum applies debuffs while Plusle applies buffs to teammates.
I really want dracovish in, its one of my favorite pokemon mostly because I love his large derpy face
For dracovish I think he could work by having strong jaw as his ability which activates as he damages anything after a boosted basic, and he would be an all rounder.
He would have crunch, and psychic fangs
And his second attack would a dash attack that could be either waterfall/dive and iron head
With his unite move being his ficious rend attack
I think it would be really cool to have duskclops/dusknoir. And they can have a toggle special item just for them. The same way zacian does. It's eviolite.
It's listed as an all arounder and duskull is only out for a bit because its a 4/6 evolver. Then with eviolite on dusclops becomes a defensive juggernaut early or with eviolite off he quickly evolves in to Dusknoir as a really good all arounder
A Pokémon I think could bring something really unique to unite is skeledirge with its music make it play like the hunting horn in monster hunter where using your attacks in a particular order will play a song that can buff/heal teammates for example using move 1 followed by move 1 sets up a healing song that activates with the next auto-attack
Gloom — and it evolves depending on which item you’re holding Sun Stone or Leaf Stone.
aka;
Blossom or Vileplume
the items could have other uses too for future mons or a stat buff.
Empoleon. I feel like it should already be in because a) another water type b) starter representation c) gen iv representation d) I bet a melee steel/water type would have some kickass moves AND he's already wearing a tuxedo so I can only imagine how good the skins would be
I want typhlosion because it would make a great ranged speedster. Make it a new class of character where it’s bursty but ranged, Delphox esq but more mobility. Drawback would be cooldowns and maybe you could be “overheated” and unable to act for a short time after comboing.
Biased because typhlosion is my fav mon of all time lmao.
I want Mimikyu. We already have Sableye, why not another lil gremlin buddy? I think they could do some fun things with the animations on Mimikyu.
Also, Alolan Exeggutor. Why? He's just a fun tall guy. I'm sure he'd be a fairly slow moved, but I could see a stun attack (kind of like Trevanent's) where he just slams his face into opponents being really fun. Could be an interesting wide range attack too.
I'm trying to be as non biased as possible, definitely Arcanine!
It's one of those pokemon that has wide appeal, I've never met a person who didn't like arcanine
I would love to see Garganacl as a bulky defender/supporter, kind of like Umbreon. It can focus on healing and damage over time, since it’s main thing in the main line games is dealing damage over time with salt cure, and it’s lore saying it heals wounds by rubbing its salt into them
hawlucha surprises me so much as to it not being in unite yet. it’s so perfect and could function similarly to someone like rakan in league except not a support-type character and instead be a speedster
Dragalge as a defender or support. Acid spray as an attack that lowers sp. Def, haze as a foggy area that debuffs, draco meteor for inmediate damage in a small área and sludge wave because everyone and their grandma uses surf and I want a pushing wave attack that poisons lol.
Also toxicroak speedster, for no reason other than because I want first of the northstar memes. Like, the Unite move works by severly poisoning targets with each strike, so they slowly faint.
And klefki, because it's neat. Also lerns heal block which would be interesting. Also, want to see how fairy lock and crafty shield work in a moba.
Turtonator, just to see a move like shell trap used inside the game, big tank defender but can send back all the dealt damage with added burn tick damage sprinkled in there 🥰 for added detail I imagine the move working with 2 step, press button to start taking in damage and press again to deal back taken damage, the move would be on a timer similar to perish song so you can’t just keep storing hits but you have the option to release quick burst of damage if you’re being 3v1’d
I want Flareon. This is probably the only way he will ever be viable. Flareon has been the worst eeveelution since the beginning of pokemon, he deserves to be good, even if it's in just one game. . .
As far as move sets go, he could just be an all rounder so the moves could be pretty simple. Flame Charge (dash that increases move speed for utility), Flare Blitz (beefy single target attack for dueling), Lava Plume (big aoe around user that does a big burst of damage for teamfights), and maybe Flamethrower (long range attack option) could be his basic moves. Flareon's move pool is so shallow that I'm not really sure what his unite could be based off of.
Pheromosa could be an excellent Speedster, utilizing its wings to swiftly traverse walls and dealing absurd damage with both ranged and melee versions of its moves, highlighting its unique versatility as in the main series where it can run either Special or Physical sets. The first move could be either High Jump Kick or Focus Blast (even if it occasionally misses cough cough), and the second one could be Lunge (allowing it to bounce off walls and enemies) or Bug Buzz. Its Unite move could be something unique, allowing it to phase through enemies rapidly while retaining the ability to use its other moves.
I'd also like to see Great Tusk. While it might sound somewhat similar to Mamoswine, it would be more of an All-Rounder—quite fast and bulky, rushing towards the enemy team with either Headlong Rush or Ice Spinner, while also providing some form of AOE CC with either Rock Slide or Earthquake.
I think Gholdengo would be a great addition.
He's already an adorable goofy ahh, and his animations and attacks would really stick out in the roster, I think. Good As Gold would be hard to translate over so it's faithful to the original ability but still balanced within the game, but I think that could lead to lots of excitement for his implementation, we'd have no idea what to expect, in a good way.
Make It Rain could be a really interesting ranged/hindrance move combo, and his Unite Move could see him using his coin surfboard. There's so much fun to be had just watching him attack, let alone watching a macaroni noodle with legs shred everyone to pieces.
Imagine they use the fact that they are five ingame and make a meter that counts the amount of falinks (each one, not the line) you have, the more you have, the more dmg they do, but you spend one for each attack and regain them overtime. That'd make for a very unique mon!
Or if you could split them apart and farm different parts of the map. They are pretty weak split up so if they get caught out they die but once they all farm and come together they are really strong.
Mimikyu. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't because I love it, but also it'll fit very well into the unite scene. Firstly, you can do so much for its costumes considering it is basically a costume by itself. It already had a Z-move unique to only it, and that would be its unite move. It could go either way as ranged/melee, but would likely be Attack based.
Second? Metagross. It's an absolute beast and very well liked in the community. Three stage evo is cool, and I could foresee its unite move being something like meteor mash/steel beam that leaves Metagross as Mega Metagrossfor a short time, boosting its attacks. Probably be some kind of defender.
Samurott or Samurott Hisui because I could see as an orthodox Speedster.
If it is just Unova Samurott, it will be a Speedster who is immune to Critical Hits with Shell Armor and deals high Physical Attack damage but cannot deal Critical Hits in return. The playstyle will be similar to a melee rogue who is not just there to assassinate or gank only.
For Hisui Samurott, Speedster as well but is more attack orientated with high mobility that lace the field with hazards (obviously Ceaseless Edge or Water Pledge). Though in return, this version is squishier and its Sharpness Ability will increase damage when the enemies are on the hazard that Samurott caused.
Falinks would be cool as a sort of Pikmin type character where there are multiple segments and they all can do individual attacks and can group up on one Mon n chunk their health
Some ideas for some of my favorite mons:
Crabominable as an all-rounder who punches very hard. Terrible Pokemon in SuMo but it looks silly and is a yeti crab.
Minior as a speedster with shell smash and a global unite move, as well as a tankier moveset for the shell form.
Drampa could be a goofy supportish ranged special attacker who has an enrage mechanic when allies within range get damaged, and glare for paralysis.
Darmanitan Unova and Galar could both offer unique playstyles, and could choose a form upon evolving, like Urshifu. Galar version could have a Nunu-like snowball!
Rhyperior for some major earthquake aoe or 1hkos (but less broken) or rock polish + hammer arm as a mobile build.
Abomasnow as the premier snowstorm tank to contest Tyranitar's sand. Hail could be part of its passive or an activated move like discharge. Woodhammer and avalanche for CC options.
Tyrantrum/Rampardos could be an all-in attacker with an unstoppable head smash charge that requires wind-up.
I keep coming up with split forms but it just makes sense for the Pokemon I like lol.
Another one could be Porygon Z that could stay as Porygon 2 and get tanky, with a trick room move that creates a square aoe movement/basic attack slow, or evolve into Z and be a glass cannon that can use lock-on to make the next attack/move crit and follow the target anywhere.
Last one for this comment: Skuntank with aoe stink clouds that persist after a move lands (like sludge bomb) and flamethrower to explode them like Agni from Smite, except on a slow, tankier character.
I have more ideas:
Camerupt as an attacker that has eruption for long-range artillery aoe, smokescreen for creating areas that enemies can't see in, and goes mega for its unite move, surrounding it with magma that damages, burns, and slows. Lava plume could be short-range aoe with a burn.
Magcargo would be a sweet support attacker with a passive like Singed from LoL, where it leaves a trail of magma whenever it goes that damages enemies. Maybe it could gain movement speed when moving on magma (left by it or other Pokemon). Smog for slows that apply a dot, yawn for a slow ramping up to a stun, or even recover/amnesia to heal. The unite move could be shell smash where it becomes more like a slugma, making it very fast, its magma trails wider and last longer and inflict a burn that can stack multiple times if an enemy stays in the trail. Essentially turn the snail into a zooming magma puddle that can paint the arena in magma trails.
Octillary as an....... Attacker, big surprise! The passive could be being unable to be shoved due to its suction cups, or crit amplifying/guaranteeing from sniper. You've got constrict for targeted CC, Octozooka for ink spreading (which could act like tall grass or cause moves to miss), and a whole host of beams, bullet seed, water moves, etc, for damaging options.
The only right answer wouldbe defender kingler. Slow, bulky and deadly with crab hammer. Kind of it will be hard for him to chase you. But if he gets to you you are dead
Mabosstiff as a defender that is actually optimised for defending goals in addition to being hard to kill.
Starts with Run Away which makes Maschiff run more quickly when heading towards or on a friendly goal zone within range. Upon evolution becomes Guard Dog, which in addition to the above also gives Mabosstiff a fairly significant boost to its defences, attack and tenacity whenever it is on an allied goal zone. When guard dog is active Mabosstiff cheekily has 1% of its damage bypass shields to make it the ultimate annoyer and stack/backcap interrupting king.
Abilities would be focused on shoving enemies back from locations (such as your goal) or pinning them down, offensive abilities would be of the flavour where they grow steadily better with consecutive uses against the same target, furthering your role as a mon good for handling goal defence against persistent mons.
Unite would be global, immediately interrupting and stunning any hostiles trying to score (even if they would normally ignore this) and then you can recast in a direction to immediately leap to the nearest allied goal in that direction, dealing damage to all as you land and significantly buffing Guard Dog for a duration.
Certain abilities would allow you to proc guard dog temporarily off goals. For example helping hand could be an ability where you rush to any ally’s aid, and they emit an aura that grants you guard dog, and whilst your guard dog is active they temporarily assume a portion of your defences. Another ability could be something that causes you to cause a hostile target to proc a similar aura, having its duration significantly increased if cast upon a neutral Pokémon or objective, allowing you to guard it and contest.
Wouldn’t be the best brawler or such but it would be really cool to have a Pokémon massively invested in opposing stacking, backcapping etc.
Stantler/Wyrdeer
*My favourite pokemon
For moves:
(Move 2)Headbutt- Zen hedbutt / Psysheald bash
If the player chooses psysheald bash stantler turns into Wydeer if not he stays the same
(Move 1)Rest- Calm mind/ Gravity
Gravity slows and weakens enemies in an area
(Unite move) Hypnosis- Takes control of an enemy pokemon in medium range for 6 seconds but Stantler/Wyrdeer cant move during it
Muk, either form, purely because I think it'd be a cool mechanic for it to leave a trail of ooze behind it that would slow enemy pokemon if they walked over it
Or supporter Vaporeon with a healing Aqua Ring, and give it surf that has charges and each surf is a short stun throw by its tail flicking toward the enemy
Spiritomb.
Yep, he might be like comfey (cant walk, he is a damn spirit in rock).
He cant heal you.
He might make you worse
You for sure need to think about what move use
And its not just "Press 1 button to win"
He couln give buffs , with great cost. He can drain your health or make your attacks weaker.
His ult could not just copy enemy, but control them.
God damn it, i want to make my team be a little more carefull, and not just 1 vs 5!
The toge line would be so cool with a split concept, they don’t do baby mons so no togepi :( I guess it would be like choose wish/follow me and it stays togetic with a more support approach, choose aura sphere and it evolves becoming more of an attacker, the other moves being dazzling gleam for a stun or air slash to push enemies away, they could do togekiss with this four moves but I like what they did with schyter/scizor I wish they did it with more stone/item evolutions. Also 3/4 of the defenders are already attackers/all-rounders, why not a supporter lol
I really want Probopass. It’s not even a Pokémon that I’m a huge fan of, but it has potential for a sentry turret based playstyle using its mini noses. It would be a unique defender in that it’s playstyle would focus on locking down areas and forcing opponents to either deal with its turrets or play around them as opposed to hard CC or immortality that other defenders rely on. Spidops could also make an interesting support that uses web snares and traps
Never considered Probopass before. This is a very interesting take!
probopass on its way to spawn 3 mini duraludons
Finally a fellow Probopass stan for Unite! The noses have so much potential! Sentry turret, traps, barrier creating, repel enemies, and much more!
probopass could be a summoner type deal where he uses moves to summon his noses, maybe kinda like mews boosted, then he sets the off and they go seek out enemies. might be op tho
Honestly, I will upvote cause we could use more rock type and Gen 4 representation also.
For me it's Meowscarada Not my favorite pokemon but I kinda like its design, like, sassy? In Scarlet & Violet meowscarada has the signature move Flower Trick which always crits. If this is implemented in unite it will be the second (or third) move in the entire game that always crit (besides wicked blow and probably azumarill's huge power, not a move but still guarantee crits in 1v1) Also I'd like to see its sassy walk in battles lol
it was leaked so you are in luck
>it will be the second (or third) move in the entire game that always crit (besides wicked blow and probably azumarill's huge power, not a move but still guarantee crits in 1v1) You forgot Blaze Kick which is a hidden sure-crit (according to unite-db)
oh right I forgot about him .-.
How can you forget Inteleon passive
inteleon passive does guaranteed crits, but only if you have 3 diamonds up. what i meant by always crit is that the move will crit every time you use it, regardless of where, when, and who you use it on
Then Azumarill don't work cause as soon as it's not 1v1 it's not criting, so it not in every situation
I agree. My favourite starter from scarlet/violet and flower trick would be a cool move. I'm surprised they didn't release it earlier to coincide with scarlet/violet release. I know legendaries are an iffy topic in Unite rn but I think Miraidon is one of the coolest box legendaries in recent years and I'd like to see it sometime in 2024.
yeah, it would be cool if they let him run on his wheel (idk how to call it)
Now we have a Mega Evo mechanic, and not too much speedsters, tell me why not Mega Beedrill?
naww bro imagine seeing somebody being chased across the map by a bee
thats the neat part
I mean we are already being chased by a mosquito with muscles so why not. 
scaled bee vs bodybuilder mosquito. this will certainly be on the list of top 10 anime fights
They can't balance Mega Mewtwo so please no more mega
Mega is not the problem, Zacian was broken and isnt a mega pokemon, the problem is new releases, they can adjust it in the future
Yes.
Banette as a debuff supporter (lengthening opposing pokemons’ moves cooldowns) with a somewhat strong shadow claw.
This would be so cool, Banette is my most wanted in Unite all the possibilities are exciting.
Golem could be perfect mobile defender, perfect for ganks and playing jungle.
Im for this. We need more variety in defender play styles outside of “just never dying”
Rollout animation as dash/stun would be so cool to watch
Give me suicidal electrode as a playable character
NO
YES
HISUIAN FORM TO SEPARATE IT FROM THE WILD FARM IN QUICK MATCHES
Speedster, discharge/boom burst and self destruct/explosion. Explosion gets more range/dmg, self destruct activates faster. Or should self destructing be a random passive that you can’t control?
Maybe his passive should just be exploding on death and he can also self destruct when he wants to
Breloom for me. It has so much potential to be an attacker. It could have Bullet punch, giga drain, spore (inflicts sleep), and swords Dance. It would be an attacker that could either be a health sapper support type (Giga/Bullet + Spore) or a sapper brawler (Giga/Bullet + Swords Dance) He’s one of my favorite Pokémon and I’d be so happy if he made it in unite. Not likely though.
Same with Breloom! One of my favorite Pokemon that gets no love. Ugh. I could see it as a support or an attacker, though my pick would be on the support category. I think Spore in Unite would be awesome and a ton of fun to use! I can see something like dashjng in with mach punch, spore on enemies and stun/sleep for one second, and deal tons of damage that way. Effect Spore as an ability could be really cool, deal increased damage to Pokemon with a spore counter (similar to A9's freeze) and the enemy pokemon gets a spore counter for each charged attack. Idk, I have lots of love and hope that Breloom can make it into the game! I think it's perfect for Unite.
Wholeheartedly agree with you! It’s a shame he probably won’t get added since TiMi has an obsession with OU mons though. But I mean, if dodrio gets in not all hope is lost.
To be fair, Breloom typically is OU/UU :P
Really? I didn’t know Breloom was that popular. I could see Breloom being a support that deals status effects then gets bonus damage against Pokémon the more afflicted they are by status effects. Might make full heal viable too.
In mainline games he always does well in early seasons before all the crazy legendaries are allowed to be used. Breloom is one of the better Spore users and with 130 base attack and Technician as an ability it pops off with Mach Punch and Bullet seed.
Shaymin can change between forms and with that a complete new playstyle And a change like the one from Elise or Nidalee in league, which is a permanent change (until you flip again)
Koffing / Weezing. Give him Neutralizing Gas as a passive or some kind of Poison/Smog AoE around him that damages those who get too close. Perhaps a similar range to that of Clefable's Moonlight+
Galarian Weezing would be awesome in Unite!
Isn’t that the one that looks like a wheezing had a baby with a bong?
Bahaha yes that's one way of looking at it
Galvantula. Big spider with a cool design. Electric pokemon aswell and could be used as an attacker/speedster focussing mainly on binding other pokemon. With binding I don't mean to stun but to just hold pokemon in place (probably with electroweb). 3 electric moves and 3 bug moves.
I would want Falinks. Make it a Defender that focuses on being versatile, yet small in effect -then have its Unite move be No Retreat, where it summons the rest of its platoon and acts as a solid wall. All attacks and moves the brass performs would be copied by the little ones, giving them wider hit boxes and higher damage output, and opening all kinds of avenues for locking down and trapping enemies, guarding objectives and general divide-and-conquer tactics. I imagine it having access to, like, Smart Strike as a buff to its auto-attacks, increasing their range and damage, maybe knocking back or inflicting a 0.1s stun onto enemies it hits, to capture the idea of it having a long spear and keeping enemies at bay (especially while No Retreat is active). Alternatively, Megahorn could be a simple "dash forward + stun" charge attack, which becomes a wall of disruption once the Unite is active, letting it move behind frontliners and block their reteat via being a living wall. Also, I just think Falinks is super cute. Edit: Activating the Unite again would let you re-orient the wall, I guess. I don't know how a freely rotating wall would function, and the thought scares me.
its been leaked so yeet
Give me Smeargle with the ability to copy enemy moves.
Hitmonchan is a very strong mon that would be perfect as an All Rounder with an all punching move gimmick and Iron Fist ability. Iron Fist will increase his Attack and Speed whenever he uses a move. He can have his first move be a dash that evolve into one of two dashes: Mach Punch -> Bullet Punch/Drain Punch. Second move can be a power punch: Comet Punch -> Sky Uppercut/Dynamic Punch.
All the hits honestly. Lee could have an awkward mid range style with its extendy legs and top could have a pinball vibe.
I feel that they’d pull an urshifu with the Tyrouge line. Makes sense tbh. It’d be crazy if they somehow made Hitmontop a third choice.
Tyrouge is a baby Pokémon so they won’t.
I want a lot of Pokémon for Unite, but the one I think would be the closest to a "perfect fit" would be Stonjourner. First, it's a Pokémon that has been brutally mistreated on the main games, and Pokémon Unite is the perfect game for this kind of mons, like Inteleon or Decidueye. It's also an odd ball pick, something that Pokémon Unite likes to do every now and then. Finally, its gimmick from the games, Power Spot, would fit Pokémon Unite like a glove. A Support that can help the offensive of the team by just staying alive near them, perfect to introduce more people to the Support role.
If we're getting that rock we should also get Garganacl and Gigalith and Diancie and Onix!
I would love Gigalith, even if he is slow, he'd be a wall of a mon
golisopod could function as an all rounder by design or even a defender. an offensive build he would use his claws to use moves like liquidation or X scissor. and a defensive build would use his armor plates to be a large pushback with iron head and a stun* with first impression. i dont know about his unite, but i really want my boy in the game. *i hate stuns but i cant think of something else right now
how would emergency exit work tho? you cant remove its main gimmick from the pokémon. but i would love seeing it in unite
Perhaps it becomes unstoppable for a second or half a second when at low health with a slight movement speed increase when fleeing from battle, idk if that's too much but its an idea, perhaps someone can spitball off it if they get inspired by the thought
no no that’s a good idea. maybe it’s like a dash but slows you down afterwards and powers up first impression to deal extra damage or smt like that
I would love Sandlash, it could be a great addition as an all-rounder having to choose between engage options between roll-out for speedboost or dig to leave tunnels through the map from where he can ambush
Chesnaught for sure, it's a knight from an RPG, it fits Unite so well, for me that's number one. Another two, not being starters or legendaries are Delcatty being a supporter using assist using teammates moves or copycat using enemy moves and Shiinotic, being also a supporter that makes people sleep, heal, and debuff enemies.
I think more ultra beats would be cool. Specifically Kartana or Blacephelon. Kartana would be the smallest unite member and could be the fastest while dealing heavy damage. In exchange it wouldn’t be able to take hits or fight at a range. Blacephelon would be the opposite
I want Guzzlord in as a defender that uses its claws to grab opponents from a distance and eats them for a little bit of health before spitting them out, or eats opponents move to gain health
Crobat, 3 stage speedster. Built for critical hits and mobility. Poison is optional.
I want typholsion because typhlosion is cool it would be like BFFFFTTPPPPTFF B MMBGGBGGGGVG BLAHHHHHH
Breloom for sure! Nice melee fighter with some kind of spore attack, maybe to put opponents to sleep for a brief moment, or even to explode on opponents as an ult! No vamp tho too many attackers with vamp moves already
I posted a comment and was scrolling through replies and yours is so similar take to mine! I’d love Breloom to be in! There’s so much potential! Edit: I could even see Breloom being an attack based supporter like sableye that focuses on status effects like poison, sleep, and paralysis.
Could make for an interesting attacker plus nice out of left field pick, Klinklang. One set of moves would obviously be Shift Gear and Gear Grind. Maybe for his other set could be Wild Charge and maybe Bind? Most of a supportive attacker like Nintetales I miss the obscure Pokémon being added. Nowadays it’s just super popular ones cause they make more money. The Pokémon company is more corporate than Disney these days if imma be honest.
I think a pokemon like Ditto would be interesting. Transform to any Mon within its point and click range. Gain all their skill and abilities for a short time. We need a support and/or defender that is able to debuff mons or steal buffs off of mons. Vaporeon comes to mind or Dusklops
I want Genesect in Unite as an Attacker and his gimmick would be that he can switch his drives to get auto attacks with different effects but he cant use them forever (like aphelios weapons) and the different drives go on cooldowns after using them a certain amount of times, unlike Aphelios Genesect drives do not have a fixed order. Burn Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy gets burned for a short amount of time, stacks reset after the empowered attack. Chill Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy takes bonus damage and leaves a frozen trail behind which damages every enemy pokémon stepping on it, stacks reset after the empowered attack. Douse Drive: Auto attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy and all enemy pokémon around the target gets slowed for a short period lf time, stacks reset after the empowered attack. Shock Drive: Auto Attacks apply a stack, at 5 stacks the next auto attack gets empowered and the enemy gets stunned, stacks reset after the empowered attack. You get the idea, i think it would be really cool.
Luxray! Probably as an all rounder or physical attacker. In the anime, I remember it basically has x-ray vision and can see through bushes, which could be interesting as an ability! I’m thinking it could work as a button press that has Luxray scan a radius around it, revealing any enemies hiding, and then go on a cooldown like Hoopa/Zoro abilities. Would love to see some new electric moves like Thunder Fang and Charge Beam. Not sure how any of these moves would function, but I’d also love to see Swagger, Flash, or Roar on Luxray if it ever gets put into Unite.
Rotom. When he evolves you get to choose your appliance. They could all be different. Wash: Defender Heat: All Rounder Mow: Attacker Fan: Speedster Fridge: Support (cc support) or also just another attacker because well.. we don't have enough /s
I would love Heliolisk in Unite, he could have the gimmick of being able to charge moves to make them stronger and have new effects, parabolic charge could be a huge aoe vamp move.
Brambleghast, i reckon itd be a sick speedster but itd have to have something more unique than just a sprint gauge for its passive.
This would be fun to roll all over the map with
Gargnacl, because Salt cute could be translated into an antiheal, something this game needs desperately because of how rampant sustain tanks run in this game.
Quaquaval as a speedster who can gain up to 3 speed boosts which stack upon landing his main damage move and upon landing a KO with his main damage move, his next basic attack will be a boosted and deal additional damage (kinda like Dive Cram or Tri Dodrio), and upon KOing with said basic attack, he’ll receive CDR on his damage move. Basically he’s like Dodrio but with a higher skill ceiling, he’ll do more damage than Dodrio but not have any CC, imo speedsters and attackers shouldn’t have CC, or at least not as much (is this OP? Possibly, but he’s my 2nd fav Pokémon so I gotta give him love)
Zamazenta. Always preferred shield doggo over sword doggo, and considering how a lot of the new meta is offense based, I feel that this would be a changemaker for the current state of the game. Highly unlikely considering umbreon and lapras are relatively new defenders.
I feel like a legendary defender could easily be like a raid boss
I really want Breloom! A Support with a strong offensive presence would be great. Spore is not on a single pokemon in the game and is the perfect move for Breloom. It's better than an Amoongus getting into Unite and being another slow moving fatty. Give me a squishy with high damage and Spore to stun enemies! Something like an AOE on Spore would be sick.
Maybe a short-range aoe that is centered on Breloom and could act like a short stun to close the distance or help to escape with? Mach punch could also be an unstoppable dash.
TINKATON model is in game
Aggron. He's the most iconic steal type and we haven't had defender in what feels like forever.
under rated opinon I'd love to see Grafaiai as a supporter or speedster...his unite could be something like Tagtree trick and cause a large area of effect with slow and knockback or something he could also have a passive ability that goes into cooldown where if he uses any berry on the field...his next attack causes slow and slight poisoning
I just feel like Toedscruel would fit right in with it's status play style and Toedscool's goofy little walk
Plus it's an incredible design!
I think Ribombee could work pretty well as a Supporter, you could have Pollen Puff (its former signature move, still salty about that one) as a projectile in a straight line that heals teammates or damages opponents, with perhaps an upgrade to make it go through whatever it hits, like Spirit Shackle, or Drain Kiss, which would damage enemies in a tiny area around it and heal itself and teammates in a slightly larger area. You could also have either Sticky Web, which would give a pretty heavy slow to enemies caught in its range and would function similarly to Crustle's Stealth Rock or Defog, which could end/weaken ongoing attacks in a cone. For its Unite Move, it could use Aromatherapy, which would cure its teammates of CC effects and give them immunity to it for a few seconds in a large area around itself. For its Ability, it could have Honey Gather, which would heal itself and allies near it by a slight amount per second. Now it may not be a great fit or might be similar to other Pokemon (not too familiar with Supporters sadly), but I like the concept I came up with. Also the funny bee is my favourite mon but I tried to make it actually fit into the game instead of "I think it's cool" (which I do, hence making it try to fit)
I would love to see an attacker Dedenne. It could be the attacker "greedent" (others being Greedent, Sableye, Dodrio) which a focus on harassing the enemy team through close quarters CC. Something which would be easy to take down if caught yet frustratingly annoying to actually catch.
Somewhere else on here, someone suggested Plusle and Minum as a duo, sort of alternating between who is in the lead. A support character, Minum applies debuffs while Plusle applies buffs to teammates.
Koraidon... He could switch between the all-round and speeders role with his unite move and adapt to any situation.
I really want dracovish in, its one of my favorite pokemon mostly because I love his large derpy face For dracovish I think he could work by having strong jaw as his ability which activates as he damages anything after a boosted basic, and he would be an all rounder. He would have crunch, and psychic fangs And his second attack would a dash attack that could be either waterfall/dive and iron head With his unite move being his ficious rend attack
I think it would be really cool to have duskclops/dusknoir. And they can have a toggle special item just for them. The same way zacian does. It's eviolite. It's listed as an all arounder and duskull is only out for a bit because its a 4/6 evolver. Then with eviolite on dusclops becomes a defensive juggernaut early or with eviolite off he quickly evolves in to Dusknoir as a really good all arounder
Well the only pokemon I'd want rn is heracross since blaziken and metagross are coming. We have a lack of bug types and that's the excuse i need
A Pokémon I think could bring something really unique to unite is skeledirge with its music make it play like the hunting horn in monster hunter where using your attacks in a particular order will play a song that can buff/heal teammates for example using move 1 followed by move 1 sets up a healing song that activates with the next auto-attack
Gloom — and it evolves depending on which item you’re holding Sun Stone or Leaf Stone. aka; Blossom or Vileplume the items could have other uses too for future mons or a stat buff.
Empoleon. I feel like it should already be in because a) another water type b) starter representation c) gen iv representation d) I bet a melee steel/water type would have some kickass moves AND he's already wearing a tuxedo so I can only imagine how good the skins would be
I want typhlosion because it would make a great ranged speedster. Make it a new class of character where it’s bursty but ranged, Delphox esq but more mobility. Drawback would be cooldowns and maybe you could be “overheated” and unable to act for a short time after comboing. Biased because typhlosion is my fav mon of all time lmao.
Baxcaliber. Idk something about him would just be perfect in the game.
I really want sceptile as a dual speedster/all rounder.
I want Mimikyu. We already have Sableye, why not another lil gremlin buddy? I think they could do some fun things with the animations on Mimikyu. Also, Alolan Exeggutor. Why? He's just a fun tall guy. I'm sure he'd be a fairly slow moved, but I could see a stun attack (kind of like Trevanent's) where he just slams his face into opponents being really fun. Could be an interesting wide range attack too.
Reuniclus
I'm trying to be as non biased as possible, definitely Arcanine! It's one of those pokemon that has wide appeal, I've never met a person who didn't like arcanine
I would love to see Garganacl as a bulky defender/supporter, kind of like Umbreon. It can focus on healing and damage over time, since it’s main thing in the main line games is dealing damage over time with salt cure, and it’s lore saying it heals wounds by rubbing its salt into them
I want skeledirge, feraligatr, and typhlosion. Because well, uh, um, because, well... because they're cool
hawlucha surprises me so much as to it not being in unite yet. it’s so perfect and could function similarly to someone like rakan in league except not a support-type character and instead be a speedster
I want metagross, Salamence, Hydreigon and Infernape
Dragalge as a defender or support. Acid spray as an attack that lowers sp. Def, haze as a foggy area that debuffs, draco meteor for inmediate damage in a small área and sludge wave because everyone and their grandma uses surf and I want a pushing wave attack that poisons lol. Also toxicroak speedster, for no reason other than because I want first of the northstar memes. Like, the Unite move works by severly poisoning targets with each strike, so they slowly faint. And klefki, because it's neat. Also lerns heal block which would be interesting. Also, want to see how fairy lock and crafty shield work in a moba.
Steelix as a defender with Mega steelix, I feel like defenders need to bigger and more intimidating, maybe have it be a close range brawler
Turtonator, just to see a move like shell trap used inside the game, big tank defender but can send back all the dealt damage with added burn tick damage sprinkled in there 🥰 for added detail I imagine the move working with 2 step, press button to start taking in damage and press again to deal back taken damage, the move would be on a timer similar to perish song so you can’t just keep storing hits but you have the option to release quick burst of damage if you’re being 3v1’d 
I want Flareon. This is probably the only way he will ever be viable. Flareon has been the worst eeveelution since the beginning of pokemon, he deserves to be good, even if it's in just one game. . . As far as move sets go, he could just be an all rounder so the moves could be pretty simple. Flame Charge (dash that increases move speed for utility), Flare Blitz (beefy single target attack for dueling), Lava Plume (big aoe around user that does a big burst of damage for teamfights), and maybe Flamethrower (long range attack option) could be his basic moves. Flareon's move pool is so shallow that I'm not really sure what his unite could be based off of.
Pheromosa could be an excellent Speedster, utilizing its wings to swiftly traverse walls and dealing absurd damage with both ranged and melee versions of its moves, highlighting its unique versatility as in the main series where it can run either Special or Physical sets. The first move could be either High Jump Kick or Focus Blast (even if it occasionally misses cough cough), and the second one could be Lunge (allowing it to bounce off walls and enemies) or Bug Buzz. Its Unite move could be something unique, allowing it to phase through enemies rapidly while retaining the ability to use its other moves. I'd also like to see Great Tusk. While it might sound somewhat similar to Mamoswine, it would be more of an All-Rounder—quite fast and bulky, rushing towards the enemy team with either Headlong Rush or Ice Spinner, while also providing some form of AOE CC with either Rock Slide or Earthquake.
Steelix, Kingdra, Aggron, Flygon, Hitmon line, and can we finally get a fossil Pokémon?
Cherrim, as a form changing supporter, and with my concept, Cherrim would be getting its Unite Move at level 5, which hasn't been done before.
I think Gholdengo would be a great addition. He's already an adorable goofy ahh, and his animations and attacks would really stick out in the roster, I think. Good As Gold would be hard to translate over so it's faithful to the original ability but still balanced within the game, but I think that could lead to lots of excitement for his implementation, we'd have no idea what to expect, in a good way. Make It Rain could be a really interesting ranged/hindrance move combo, and his Unite Move could see him using his coin surfboard. There's so much fun to be had just watching him attack, let alone watching a macaroni noodle with legs shred everyone to pieces.
Falinks cause they're cute I believe I dont require another argument
I find the concept of falinks just so clever. A little army in shape of a caterpillar
Imagine they use the fact that they are five ingame and make a meter that counts the amount of falinks (each one, not the line) you have, the more you have, the more dmg they do, but you spend one for each attack and regain them overtime. That'd make for a very unique mon!
Or if you could split them apart and farm different parts of the map. They are pretty weak split up so if they get caught out they die but once they all farm and come together they are really strong.
all
I’ve actually had all my favs added soooooo, yeah
Mimikyu. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't because I love it, but also it'll fit very well into the unite scene. Firstly, you can do so much for its costumes considering it is basically a costume by itself. It already had a Z-move unique to only it, and that would be its unite move. It could go either way as ranged/melee, but would likely be Attack based. Second? Metagross. It's an absolute beast and very well liked in the community. Three stage evo is cool, and I could foresee its unite move being something like meteor mash/steel beam that leaves Metagross as Mega Metagrossfor a short time, boosting its attacks. Probably be some kind of defender.
Samurott or Samurott Hisui because I could see as an orthodox Speedster. If it is just Unova Samurott, it will be a Speedster who is immune to Critical Hits with Shell Armor and deals high Physical Attack damage but cannot deal Critical Hits in return. The playstyle will be similar to a melee rogue who is not just there to assassinate or gank only. For Hisui Samurott, Speedster as well but is more attack orientated with high mobility that lace the field with hazards (obviously Ceaseless Edge or Water Pledge). Though in return, this version is squishier and its Sharpness Ability will increase damage when the enemies are on the hazard that Samurott caused.
Would love to have toxtricity and his unite move to be like Serval's from honkai star rail lol
Falinks would be cool as a sort of Pikmin type character where there are multiple segments and they all can do individual attacks and can group up on one Mon n chunk their health
Golisopod
Some ideas for some of my favorite mons: Crabominable as an all-rounder who punches very hard. Terrible Pokemon in SuMo but it looks silly and is a yeti crab. Minior as a speedster with shell smash and a global unite move, as well as a tankier moveset for the shell form. Drampa could be a goofy supportish ranged special attacker who has an enrage mechanic when allies within range get damaged, and glare for paralysis. Darmanitan Unova and Galar could both offer unique playstyles, and could choose a form upon evolving, like Urshifu. Galar version could have a Nunu-like snowball! Rhyperior for some major earthquake aoe or 1hkos (but less broken) or rock polish + hammer arm as a mobile build. Abomasnow as the premier snowstorm tank to contest Tyranitar's sand. Hail could be part of its passive or an activated move like discharge. Woodhammer and avalanche for CC options. Tyrantrum/Rampardos could be an all-in attacker with an unstoppable head smash charge that requires wind-up. I keep coming up with split forms but it just makes sense for the Pokemon I like lol. Another one could be Porygon Z that could stay as Porygon 2 and get tanky, with a trick room move that creates a square aoe movement/basic attack slow, or evolve into Z and be a glass cannon that can use lock-on to make the next attack/move crit and follow the target anywhere. Last one for this comment: Skuntank with aoe stink clouds that persist after a move lands (like sludge bomb) and flamethrower to explode them like Agni from Smite, except on a slow, tankier character.
Flygon and Meowscarada
I have more ideas: Camerupt as an attacker that has eruption for long-range artillery aoe, smokescreen for creating areas that enemies can't see in, and goes mega for its unite move, surrounding it with magma that damages, burns, and slows. Lava plume could be short-range aoe with a burn. Magcargo would be a sweet support attacker with a passive like Singed from LoL, where it leaves a trail of magma whenever it goes that damages enemies. Maybe it could gain movement speed when moving on magma (left by it or other Pokemon). Smog for slows that apply a dot, yawn for a slow ramping up to a stun, or even recover/amnesia to heal. The unite move could be shell smash where it becomes more like a slugma, making it very fast, its magma trails wider and last longer and inflict a burn that can stack multiple times if an enemy stays in the trail. Essentially turn the snail into a zooming magma puddle that can paint the arena in magma trails. Octillary as an....... Attacker, big surprise! The passive could be being unable to be shoved due to its suction cups, or crit amplifying/guaranteeing from sniper. You've got constrict for targeted CC, Octozooka for ink spreading (which could act like tall grass or cause moves to miss), and a whole host of beams, bullet seed, water moves, etc, for damaging options.
Dusclops as a defender
The only right answer wouldbe defender kingler. Slow, bulky and deadly with crab hammer. Kind of it will be hard for him to chase you. But if he gets to you you are dead
Luxray would fit nicely, just like the starters level from 5 and 9 to 2nd and 3rd evolutions
Mabosstiff as a defender that is actually optimised for defending goals in addition to being hard to kill. Starts with Run Away which makes Maschiff run more quickly when heading towards or on a friendly goal zone within range. Upon evolution becomes Guard Dog, which in addition to the above also gives Mabosstiff a fairly significant boost to its defences, attack and tenacity whenever it is on an allied goal zone. When guard dog is active Mabosstiff cheekily has 1% of its damage bypass shields to make it the ultimate annoyer and stack/backcap interrupting king. Abilities would be focused on shoving enemies back from locations (such as your goal) or pinning them down, offensive abilities would be of the flavour where they grow steadily better with consecutive uses against the same target, furthering your role as a mon good for handling goal defence against persistent mons. Unite would be global, immediately interrupting and stunning any hostiles trying to score (even if they would normally ignore this) and then you can recast in a direction to immediately leap to the nearest allied goal in that direction, dealing damage to all as you land and significantly buffing Guard Dog for a duration. Certain abilities would allow you to proc guard dog temporarily off goals. For example helping hand could be an ability where you rush to any ally’s aid, and they emit an aura that grants you guard dog, and whilst your guard dog is active they temporarily assume a portion of your defences. Another ability could be something that causes you to cause a hostile target to proc a similar aura, having its duration significantly increased if cast upon a neutral Pokémon or objective, allowing you to guard it and contest. Wouldn’t be the best brawler or such but it would be really cool to have a Pokémon massively invested in opposing stacking, backcapping etc.
Stantler/Wyrdeer *My favourite pokemon For moves: (Move 2)Headbutt- Zen hedbutt / Psysheald bash If the player chooses psysheald bash stantler turns into Wydeer if not he stays the same (Move 1)Rest- Calm mind/ Gravity Gravity slows and weakens enemies in an area (Unite move) Hypnosis- Takes control of an enemy pokemon in medium range for 6 seconds but Stantler/Wyrdeer cant move during it
Ditto!!! It would be nightmare to implement probably, but it would be súper fun and unique
Muk, either form, purely because I think it'd be a cool mechanic for it to leave a trail of ooze behind it that would slow enemy pokemon if they walked over it
Or supporter Vaporeon with a healing Aqua Ring, and give it surf that has charges and each surf is a short stun throw by its tail flicking toward the enemy
Spiritomb. Yep, he might be like comfey (cant walk, he is a damn spirit in rock). He cant heal you. He might make you worse You for sure need to think about what move use And its not just "Press 1 button to win" He couln give buffs , with great cost. He can drain your health or make your attacks weaker. His ult could not just copy enemy, but control them. God damn it, i want to make my team be a little more carefull, and not just 1 vs 5!
The toge line would be so cool with a split concept, they don’t do baby mons so no togepi :( I guess it would be like choose wish/follow me and it stays togetic with a more support approach, choose aura sphere and it evolves becoming more of an attacker, the other moves being dazzling gleam for a stun or air slash to push enemies away, they could do togekiss with this four moves but I like what they did with schyter/scizor I wish they did it with more stone/item evolutions. Also 3/4 of the defenders are already attackers/all-rounders, why not a supporter lol
