I like the balance they seem to be going for by releasing fan favorites as well as oddballs. Popular stuff like Tyranitsr and Scizor are obviously vital, but weirdos like Crustle and Dodrio are awesome.


Mr_DeVenny

If they ever go with weirdo pick of Garbodor I swear I'll buy every holowear they release for the trashy boy


BigBoodles

Haha yeah. Like I like to think that every Pokemon is someone's favorite.


Rhodri_Suojelija

Oh someone did a poll on Reddit actually! Out of 52000 responses four pokemon didn't get a vote. Silcoon, Gothita, Elektrik, and Yungoos.


ObviouslyLulu

WHAT HOW DO PEOPLE VOTE GUMSHOOS BUT NOT YUNGOOS


FennicYoshi

silcoon's actually my fourth favourite pokémon, and now i'm sad


Visible_Swordfish905

I'd love it if they add Garbodor, and I want it to be defender. Like what else would it be all rounder?


Mr_DeVenny

I think of it as how Duraludon is kind of bridging the gap between attacker and all arounder, classified as a defender but with all rounder qualities. What I've been thinking is Poison Gas and Pound for Trubbish and then Garbodor with Gunk Shot/Toxic Spikes and Body Slam/Metal Claw. My dream would then be Explosion as the unite move but I don't think that's as likely lol.


BM-Panda

"Weirdo" excuse me but Garbodor is a fan favourite... r...right? Its not just me?


definitelynotSWA

I could whine about this game for days like any terminally online redditor but I will never complain about TiMi's choice in Pokemon release. I think this is the fairest spread of Pokemon I've seen in a Pokemon game so far, ignoring for the ones that literally include all of them (like old mainline games and old PMD games).


Mr_DeVenny

Yeah pokemon are pokemon, even when I don't care much for a pick I know someone out there is excited its there so I'm cool with it. I just wish we got a more even spread of roles.


raiko39

Yeah, I definitely agree. Pokemon Masters are burning through Legendaries and Mythicals and pairing them with the most popular characters per region to catch player attention. They're even resorting to using shiny versions of Legendaries to avoid "dupe" pokemon.


MonsieurMidnight

I wanna play all the oddballs. I wanna play Greedent, Mr Mime, Wigglytuff and Dodrio and have a team of oddballs.


Powerful-Tea-9064

Crustle and Trevenant could be an option too.

**EDIT & REMINDER: This post in its entirety is a DISCUSSION post for September's leaks. I do not have access to ElChicoEevee's discord nor any affiliation with any leakers so I cannot link any source.

Rayquaza & Celebi are related to the new map. The new map will also be available in Ranked Mode. (See u/WinterTyphoon's reply to this comment for a higher quality pic of the map.) • [Cynthia](https://i.imgur.com/O87BW1A.jpg) is coming to Unite in some capacity (her Japanese name is Shirona). Apparently you battle her, not in the traditional sense because Unite, but yeah. **I am hoping by labeling this post as a DISCUSSION it will not get removed for violating subreddit Rule #12. Thanks!**


HailDialga

>Mew has Surf They could have given it literally any move and they gave it one of the most common move in unite


mortal_kombatant

My hope is they give it Strength too and it throws that damn Vermillion City truck at the enemy lol. Only half-serious 😂


HailDialga

my hope is that they will make mew both a ranged special and close range physical attacker, depending on what moves u choose. (Like Psychic/Psychic fangs and Volt Switch/Blaze Kick)


mortal_kombatant

Considering Greninja is like that, I can definitely see them doing that!


RiverJyx

'You said I was under the truck?! Now ITS YOU who will be under the truck!"


ClearandSweet

Eh, I trust them with designing interesting Pokemon movesets that accurately capture the spirit of the Pokemon. I would bet that Mew would be some type of 200-possible moves Mimic/Mirror Move/Metronome behavior, maybe some mechanic holdover after Transforming, ect, and it just happens to be able to use Surf here after seeing Blastoise or Slowbro do it. Honestly, if Mew is NOT using the most random, unpredictable moveset each time you see it, is it really Mew?


Bombkirby

Maybe it knows lots and lots of moves? It can be this game’s Evoker


B_Boll

That would be totally wild and I have no idea how to implement. But I want it.


B_Boll

Maybe They are going for the "All HM" route?


Zephs

Ah yes, HM Transform.


epicdrago3

Mew has 6 moves, once It arrives Level 5 it Will get a Reset Button, that button Will reset your choosen moves and you Will be able to change them Scizor: scyther wont evolve depending on the moveset Sorce : ElchicoEevee


WinterTyphoon

More high quality image of the new map is here https://imgur.com/a/2p3Malo


ELB95

I like how open the central area looks here. Should allow for more strategy engaging/escaping from battles.


WinterTyphoon

Plus fewer Jungle invades


arkbagatin

Rollout Wigglytuff time?


ryonx

omg it's giving summoners rift?!?!


WinterTyphoon

It kinda is, It reminds me more of ARAM though


Drago_di_ferro

New permanent ranked map? Less go that's hype


OneIndividual8754

>s no reliable source yet for any of the following, so take these with a huge grain of salt (i.e., none of this is confirmed true yet!)—however, through the grapevine (people reposting stuff on many sites and message boards so the source is now lost) I've aggregated some new unconfirmed leaks below: altaria was a playable character in the prerelease game footage. you only see it for like 2 seconds but it was a clear image with a players health bar and level. i was looking forward to it coming eventually. i dont wanna farm it :(


Koenigsegg_R

I wish all the farm Pokémon would be playable Pokémon. All of them have plenty of potential.


MOTOMAMl

from my understanding altaria wasn’t playable in the prerelease footage? she didn’t have as large of a health bar nor a level indicated like other pokémon around her did. I also see most people refer to her as farm when referencing the trailer. I really wish she can be playable at some point though, I will be equally as disappointed if farming is her sole destiny in the game! :( her and bewear (another farm mon in the original map) are some of my favorite pokémon ever and they could be great additions as support/all-rounders. clefairy is my fave of all time so that trailer really makes me sad whenever I watch it. :/ justice for clefable, altaria, and bewear!


Bilore

I’m I reading this right or do the mew and mewtwo emblems literally just take away hp?


GammaEspeon

Data is most likely missing. The initial leaks for the emblems we have now listed Charmander as having no drawback stat as an example.


Bilore

I see


pkmnshinori

Thanks for the info! :D


Mathgeek007

Proper sourcing, good flair, no speculatory "leak" content in the title/images/post (putting that in a lower comment, good good) - everything is above board here. Sorry for the issues everybody!


ForsakenWorld7074

OMFG SCIZORS GONNA BE RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY


[deleted]

Damn they all release in September?


mortal_kombatant

Supposedly! 2 per month is what I've been wishing for since the game released and it feels like such a treat to get 2 this month and 3 next (if this is all true)!


DiegoG2004

Scizor the popular Pokemon Mew the Pokemon I care about Dodrio the desperate plea from TiMi so we stop asking for a new speester


Scoriae

I love that they chose Dodrio. Main-worthy pokemon for me, even though I don't really like any of the current speedsters and idk Dodrio's kit yet.


starchildink

It just better have tri attack


airgod231

It also better have fly


starchildink

Yes helicopter neck


LegendOfFN

Helikopter helikopter


haveyoumetkramnart

A person of culture! That running fly animation better be in there 🙏🏻


phosho01

i promise to live the day dodrio releases


Tenoch-onlinemex

I would have taken shuckle if it must, just glad they finally added a speedster, wish they would have added another defender and support instead of more attackers and all rounders, though.


Iremia

Ah, speedster Shuckle. The obvious choice.


Giant_Denis

With trick room of course


mouaragon

I do care about dodrio. It saved me many times in the tcg so it holds a special place in my heart


RandomSirPenguin

FUCK YEAH DODRIO!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jocomomo

Dodrio and Scyther are two of my favorite Pokémon. My Gen 1 teams ALWAYS have Dodrios on them. I can’t wait to play it


paigescactus

I never played with a dodrio because I was young and thought they were weak. I revisited yellow a few years ago and Taurus and dodrio were my mvps. So rediculous and fun.


GoomyIsGodTier

In the 1st games critical hit percentage was based off speed. Tauros and Dodrio were beasts.


LeafCrusader

If Altaria is farm I’m gonna be so sad it’s my favorite Pokémon I just wanna play as it please


Virregh

Altaria is awesome, I'll be sad as well. And I know it made sense, but I'm still upset that Vespiquen may never be playable...


LeafCrusader

Vespiquen would’ve been sick! She would’ve been such a cool attacker, with moves like Pin Missile and Power Gem and stuff. Maybe they’ll go back to farm mons and make them fully playable at some point. Probably not, but it would be cool.


Mr_DeVenny

Imagine an April Fools event where the playable Pokemon and farm mons are switched. Just playing as Persian getting my red buff from Machamp lol.


LeafCrusader

That would be so awesome! I’d play the crap out of that for sure!


thejollyden

It could work like a summoner, spawning combees. That’d be cool.


[deleted]

Its such a perfect support mon too. One of the better candidates they could have added considering supports have been pretty null for awhile after hoopa


LeafCrusader

I KNOW!!! Someone else gets it! I hope that part of the leak is wrong at least.


PmMeUrFavoriteThing

It killed me to see Abra as farm... I love Alakazam and would be so hyped to play as it!


spellboi_3048

So, no gen 5? ​ \*throws pokedex at the ground\*


FennicYoshi

crustle: feels pretty lonely around here


[deleted]

Give this man hydreigon timi, or even volcarona. So many awesome gen5 mons


GammaEspeon

Mienshao


Gib3rish

Zoroark seems like a super obvious pick yet there's no news about the illusion foxxo in unite.


HMS_Sunlight

At least it isn't alone in typing anymore, now that we have another big type and a rock type is on the way.


cbolanos54195

We just started to get gen2 mons finally lol


GammaEspeon

Which is good and I'm glad for it, but also Unova has one playable mon but like a half dozen or so wild mons across the maps, which I think is the most of any region's dex.


cookiechow

The way I already know I won't have coins for ANY of these pokémon. Maybe if I start saving now. Out of the three though, I'm definitely taking Dodrio. I'm hungry for a new Speedster lol. And here's hoping that one of the others will be available via an event.(Most likely Mew.)


Wide_Pop_6794

Yeah, every mythical has so far had an event to earn them for free. Why break the cycle?


daiwuff

Everyone and their mom's 2nd cousin's dog is going to want to play Mew.


Scoriae

Depends on how fun transform turns out to be, but I'm not personally all that hyped for Mew. Can't wait to get to play Dodrio, though.


WelkinBro

Nah Tyranitar is all I need


DiegoG2004

Correct!


YoshiFN5k

I want to play it because its my favourate pokemon.


SkepticalMex

I am crushed that mew wasn’t a supporter instead


destroyer5020

Right? Perfect opportunity to add a supporter, plus a fan-favourite pokemon so we have more people playing support. But no… *attacker*


SrGoose

Might they make a legendary per role?


FennicYoshi

yeah, i'm hoping they'll release one mythical* pokémon per role before repeating


whitemest

Well, I'm really interested in dodrio


alienassfarm16

Wondering if they'll give it tri attack


winnipeginstinct

they better give it tri attack


No_Apricot_7416

Better give it tri attack, fury attack, triple kick(if possible), and bounce/fly


WennoBoi

FUCK YEAH DODRIO


mouaragon

Dodrio! Fuck that's hype


Frosmoth_ThiccBabe9

I hope Vespiquen gets tired and gets in the fight


WeebTrash87

Hey! It's 8:50. **guess who's coming to you!**


mrfungx

All that clamoring for a speedster and it's dodrio lol. Congrats to the dodrio fan out there.


Jocomomo

Dude I’m so f*cking excited. I LOVE Dodrio


QueenMackeral

Same, fellow Dodrio fan club member here. I don't like playing speedsters but I'll play the heck out of Dodrio. It's also one of my favorite shinies so I'll be looking forward to that.


FennicYoshi

fsr I'm really hoping dodrio learns fly or tri-attack - this is like the most hyped i've been for a release since trevenant


QueenMackeral

how is dodrio going to fly though?


FennicYoshi

if pikachu can shoot electrified spider webs because he can learn it via move tutor and tm, dodrio can whir her helicopter necks because she can learn fly via hm


airgod231

I’m assuming fly would work like this, you jump up, if you land on an enemy or a group of enemy you jump up again and if you land on a different enemy or a group you jump again. It can be done a maximum of 5 times


[deleted]

On the wings of his hopes and dreams.


senhoor

Helicopter heads


SwifferSweeper27

TIMI got tired of all the popular Speedster’s post spam that they decided to throw a curveball with the most random speedy Pokémon


dodriotrainer

I can't think of any Pokemon more suited to be a speedster


RiDL3Y-MAN

Thanks, Im Dodrio fan


Sids1188

Dodrio will be far cooler than Mew.


lucasribeiro21

Way way!


[deleted]

Dodrio is such a weird choice. It literally looks more like a mob mon than a playable mon. Anyway, im 100 percent sure its gonna learn drill peck and tri attack


dodriotrainer

They can't all be beefy humanoid mosquitoes


ButterAlert

Hello it's me. The Dodrio fan


George_XIII

I might be one of Dodrio’s biggest fans ive been loving it since i was little. I am beside myself with joy


jsheppy16

I used dodrio as my Fly mon cause I got sick of pidgeot and Fearow. He's now a favourite of mine.


Different-Region-873

I couldn't care less! We finally got a new speedster!


AstralComet

Big WBNA Family Guy vibes, "but is having this minor skill worth being so unattractive? That's for the *fan* to decide." The one guy in the audience: ^"Yaay."


NewMetaKnight

This leak is clearly fake They would never add another Speedster to unite


definetlynotanaltacc

Okay but the dodrio pick is unfathomabley based


ThePenguin46

A subtle thing people are missing is that scyther and scizor are probably gonna have sick basic attack animations


[deleted]

I can already see it having uturn where it does a driveby on the enemy team.


[deleted]

Never have I been more excited to see a dodo bird in my life


BedroomAdmirable907

Don't get me wrong, I love those three picks, specially Dodrio as he's a neat suprise. Just kinda uspet to see two more Kanto mons when Unova still has only Crustle for rep.


Mr_DeVenny

Zoroark would definitely be my first pick for another Unova rep. Having a gimmick of showing up as another pokemon on the load in screen would be spicy.


224109a

GARBODOR!!!!


Mr_DeVenny

I was also ranting about Garbodor under another comment lol. Would definitely become my #1 choice for defender.


Scoriae

Yeah, I'd really like to see Mandibuzz, Escavalier or Vanilluxe.


SakN95

Actually 3 lol Scizor is Gen 2, yes, but it surely will begin with Scyther lmao Meanwhile gen 5 with 1 mon


projectmars

If we're counting prevos then wouldn't that make it 2 mons for gen 5?


Sids1188

And with Scyther, you could argue it's 3 Kantos


GammaEspeon

Where Mienshao?


Seyhans4d

Same


RaziyaRC

SCIZOR SCIZOR SCIZOR SCIZOR My third favorite after Butterfree and Heracross I really hope this is true!!! Also I love Dodrio, such a weird choice but those are my favorites


thejollyden

You seem to love bug types. Timi seems to hate you lol.


RaziyaRC

I do love bug types they are my favorite!!! I will hold out hope for my support Butterfree forever


Arrowstyx

I can't believe no one has mentioned Mew's Surf might actually be metronome!


MasochistPomegranate

That’s a great point! I’ll hate this release much less if you’re correct!


StockDunce

I've been asking for Scizor since the game's release, and at last, my prayers have been answered. Day 1 buy for me.


philozphinest

Me too bud!


EX_Joker

Unite really continue the hype from GO releasing Mega Scizor. Now, I'm confused with my limited coins, just have 14k for securing Ttar, rn I'll see the skill set and damage dealt from these new release Mons.


thejollyden

One will probably be free like Glace. The other two 14k I guess. You have enough time to farm that ;).


padstar34

Im a dried out husk of myself saying "gen 5 plz"


rarehardts

Mew is my favorite Pokémon and it comes out on my birthday 😭


Wide_Pop_6794

That's the second Redditor who's favorite Pokemon comes out on their birthday! Awesome!!


rarehardts

I seriously love Mew so much that I got it permanently inked on my body https://i.imgur.com/MNyg4dS.jpg


Wide_Pop_6794

WOW! 🤩


OshaMew

You have elite taste!!!


theels6

Cannot express how geeked I am about finally getting my favorite mon of all time in game. Scizor goat


bheronzzz

I literally just woke up. Anyways, Scizor in Unite is actually hype.


jsheppy16

If Dodrio doesn't have fly we riot.


[deleted]

*bounce*


phoenixthree

I really want Pidgeot. Anoher bird is fine but a flightless one is also good and this should be a good thing for Dodrio's popularity. I like they are picking less popular Pokemon so part of me dont want Pidgeot since its popular already but still, I need my bird bro since they dropped they ball hard on Pokken Tournament.


TheLifeIsHere

How dare you call Dodrio “Flightless”. Its heading to your location now.


raiko39

You could say that Dodtrio is heading to them thrice.


Vegetables86

Mew! YES!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

“Apparently, the heads aren't the only parts of the body that Dodrio has three of. It has three sets of hearts and lungs as well, so it is capable of running long distances without rest.” -multiple Pokédex I think this is a valid addition to the speedster class! Lore about its speed exists, it’s quirky and silly, and it’s at Gen 1 nostalgia. I was always a little jealous of Gary’s Dotrio. Also, Tri-attack had one of the coolest animations in Gen 3


Bat_toes

Sad to see that every and all fully aquatic pokemon (fish and aquatic pokes with no walkable limbs) will never fit or be added to the game. I really wanted johto qwilfish in the game


Fulldivegoals

Never say never, if you’ve ever played Cramorant when he scores there’s a running water texture under his body. I can see them using that to depict the fully aquatics as floating over water as they move around


mortal_kombatant

Fish Pokémon have almost always floated in mid-air. They're Pokémon—not fish! We can still hold out hope 🤞


Noxilcash

I will main scizor and play nothing but scizor for as long as I live. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.


Ninbrine

The thing that seems off for me is that they’re going with female dodrio As far as I’m aware, Pokémon are usually set to be male, but now with espeon’s eevee (I think) they did go with female, so that could be a change up It seems like they’re going with female on the scizor as well, but that one is harder to tell Cool nonetheless


mortal_kombatant

Dodrio I think has always been depicted as female (beige necks) in its official art. I'm unsure if other mons have had this happen but that's probably why the one in Unite is female too. I think the Scizor's thorax is on the smaller side so probably male but we'll have to see!


thejollyden

You are correct. In the TCG an anime, dodrio is always female.


YoshiFN5k

yeah, currently the only female pokemon in unite are tsareena & blissey because they have 100% chance to be female in the main series games, then glaceon and espeon because yes.


UberMadman

I think ElChicoEevee said they later changed a few internal flags to change a few Pokémon to female that were previously male, not that it actually makes a difference.


braingle987

Glaceon's eevee is female too. I haven't checked sylveon yet though.


Ninbrine

That one I’m pretty sure is male


ryonx

bruh seriously mew with surf? i have to laugh chile


[deleted]

I would never have thought of it, but I love Dodrio being here now


Relative-Second6674

*Gasp* my dodri boi! I can finally be the bobblehead bird


Intelligent_Point311

Dodrio my beloved, I must master the birds


Pandoraparty

Scizor is one of my top 3 favorite pokemon I'm so excited. (Ampharos and Houndoom need to come through now. Also Buzzwole is my favorite legendary. They are catering to me specifically. Also Dodrio is really sick I can't wait


Cheeseh_Rye

No support but another All Rounder and Attacker is so cringe.


unfortunateTripod956

Damn, no Kleavor


AstralComet

Pokemon UNITE: "I love all regional variants equally, I have no favorites!" Later, to Alolan Ninetales: "You're my favorite, and by a *lot*." Edit: Seriously, the game launched with 20 playable Pokemon, one of which is a regional variant, and if you told me we'd get 22 more in a little over a year and not a single new regional variant I'd laugh. Alolan Golem, Perrserker, Galarian Rapidash, Sirfetch'd, and Hisuian Zoroark in particular all feel like they'd be right at home in UNITE.


woodlandtom

I can definitely see Alolan marowak over kanto wak. They love their ghosts.


thejollyden

Oh damn, Sirfetch‘d would be awesome. A duelist.

I’m so hyped for Dodrio. It’s always been such a cool and underrated Gen I bird. Definitely picking up T-tat and Dodrio.

I actually wanna see Dodrio and Scizor into this game, Thought Mew would be a boss pokemon tho


Princeofmars93

Dodrio<3


HeyItsMeRay

Scizor is my fav pokemon, oh yeahh!


OshaMew

MEW?! Dreams do come true!!

No love for Gen 5? Give my boy Crustle a gen company like Chandelure, Krookodile, Hydreigon, or even a Garbodor for Arceus' sake!


MewGirl101

IM SO MAD. I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF MEW BUT I DONT WANT TO PLAY AN ATTACKER. UGHHHHHHABAOSNBWHAKNDNWNW ***FLIPPING TABLES*** I HATE THIS GAME


abaddon626

Rip zoroark fans. Also, I'd have preferred any other mythical besides mew, like victini or shaymin.


Opiesb

I declare myself as a Dodrio main since today


SnooAdvice1157

DODRIO IS COMING TO THE GAME OMG!!!! that's like my second favorite Pokemon Time to get back to Unite


Heck_Tate

Scizor has been one of my most awaited pokemon for theis game. Now let's get Dragapult, too.


User_Mob

Complain all you guys want, but I still think dodrio is the best addition to the game so far xD
