Pokemon Unite beginner’s guide: How to play, strategies

Before we dive into specific queries, let’s first discuss the basics of playing Pokémon Unite. This MOBA-style game is all about teamwork and strategy as you collect Wild Energy (WE) to level up your Pokémon and eventually reach its Unite move.

How do I control my Pokémon? 🕹️
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move your character around the map. The left mouse button is used for basic attacks, while holding down the right mouse button charges up a more powerful attack or ability. You can also use the number keys or Q, W, E, R, and F keys to activate special abilities.

**What’s the goal of the game?

** 🏆
The primary objective in Pokémon Unite is to score points by delivering balls called “Aira Grels” into your opponent’s goals. The more goals are in your team’s possession, the higher the number of points you gain per delivery.

The first team to reach 10 goals wins!

1. *Attackers* focus on delivering goals or dealing high damage to enemies.
