10 Tips To Start Winning More In Pokémon Unite

[@a301i5]

Tip 11: Be aware of your teammate’s level. If you are a level 9 Cinder, it’s NOT a good idea to run around and steal farm from your buddy, level 8 Charmeleon. You really need them to get to Zard and get that Unite. That is way more helpful for the team than you being a level 9 1/2 Cinder in that moment.

[@warmbowski]

[@ayumidoll7034]

Yep. I'll never understand the inter-team competition for xp, all circumstances being equal. It tells the other player, "You'll just waste this xp. Let me have it." Granted, there are times this is true and times where one player will need it more, but I've seen bad players aggressively steal xp from good players.

[@KillaJ2R4D]

I’ll be honest with you, I think a lot of that comes from a few content creators pushing that. Obviously not Spragels, but I’ve heard them say they will not give up farm to an underleveled pokemon because it’s not their fault that Pokémon got crushed in lane and is behind on levels. But I absolutely agree with you.

[@Nathan987651]

Tip 10 is one of the most important. I had a game where one guy kept surrendering constantly, because people weren't following him (as a mid Blastoise). But then we won Zapdos and got 300-400 points. Just because you're personally dying doesn't mean it's your team's fault.

[@ANietoa87]

Most teammates do not know how to play... that's time I can use in another match

[@GiveMeThatCat]

So... a day or two ago, I was playing a match and we were winning but this one guy decided it was an amazing idea to try and surrender when I was only one on the jump pad as an opponent headed towards the goal. I was playing on mobile and accidentally jumped towards the top goal while trying to click the red button and yhe opponent scored 100pts.We lost the game by 80+ points

[@Herik_]

Also there are games that really surrender is just saving time, I have been in games were the other 4 decide to go for first rotom instead of dreadnaw and still lose it to an opponent the 3 times it spawns and the opponent also winning the 3 dreadnaws, got the the zapdos with ball our goalzones destroyed and all of them still up and instead of going for zapdos they decide to start farming and we lose zapdos, so let’s be honest, there is no coming back from that

[@jondoe8014]

I hate when the first goal (especially rotom) gets crushed so they start popping surrender...like bro they just gave us extra xp.....

I play randoms and our team surrenders because they knew the opponents are so much points away that we can't win, even if they stood afk and let us score. In my matches the opponents surrender too when they feel the same, we overpowering them

[@mathiascs7271]

I feel like it is fine to break the first ennemi goals in 2 cases, even with little value : to help you getting the drednaw because you cut their healing and you slow them down, it is especialy useful when you try to brun dred before the enemy team come back. The second case is when you are sure to get rotom, you have an ally with a lot of points but the enemy goal only has less than 20 points left. In that case, it feel better to break the first goal and try to push this rotom ro the second one so your ally can score a lot.

[@durdurdurlerutte2875]

Also, I'm pretty sure the second goal-zone doesn't give any extra catchup exp, so breaking that is usually pretty good, especially because it opens up the last goal. After 5 minutes the jump pads spawn so it also gets really hard to score a lot of points into it, so unless there is a big opportunity to score a lot, I think it's fine to break it with only a few points.

[@4xzx4]

Third case: Enemy Hoopa

[@Dynasteel]

Well the thing is, this might help you win Drednaw for sure, but the amount of bonus XP the enemy team gets from having their T1 broken early will compensate a good amount for that, so you won't get as much value from Dred in this case

The best one for me was "Don't be so hard on yourself". Whenever I've had a bad match, or one where we lost because of some mistake I made, or there was something I should've done but didn't/couldn't, I'd start nagging myself in my head. I've even had a time where I felt like I'm slowly getting worse at the game. But okay, the meta does keep changing, mostly with the release of new mons, and the slow smoke buff brought a pretty significant change to people's playstyles too. Trying to make myself understand that I can control only 1/10th of the match, and one can easily make and repeat mistakes in a game like this.

[@Toutoudles]

For me. It’s idiotic teammates. I usually go as a defender and get up to 5+ assists the beginning of the round. However, we all fall apart because my teammates are excessively switching lanes or dividing unevenly; 1 top, 1 jungler, 3 bottom. And it’s SO irritating.

[@kevinjoyce285]

Surprised as I came back and have been pretty good but I somehow used that too without knowing! It's pretty good to get your Pokémon chose to a high level so you can get others faster. Tip 1 for anyone checking here: always use your two moves as a combo you can just get health down fast Tip 2: never continue hitting someone if they go with a big attack if they run away it is better to go unless they're low and you can just hit. Tip 3: make sure you know the stats of some and not overwork on every Pokémon in it.

[@jondoe8014]

Bro I've had master teammates not show up for zap......I'm there like where is everyone?

[@manuelarocho8131]

1. Other tips I would suggest is knowing lane matchups so players know how they should go about laning. 2. Be aware, there is a mini map on the screen use it so one can understand what is happening in the game and where enemies or allies are. [ I glance over every few seconds. ] maybe hard because focus is shifted but its better so one doesn't get ganked by surprise. 3. If an enemy jungle comes to lane play passive while trying to get exp. Defend because if one or both laners die thats a lot of turn in and exp lost. Again could be hard during matchups but dying is worse. 4. Let those that evolve early, lvl 4-5 evolve first so it can help your lane a ton then funnel as much exp into your lane partner if they take exp to evolve, don't be greedy because lanes will suffer. 5. Don't grief jungle because you died frame one in lane due to incompetence, you are hurting your jungle an in turn the team. 6. If you are losing a lot take a break and comeback later. Judgement is clouded when one is tilted and sometimes its better to know when to take a break to come back stronger. :)

[@janbiel1221]

For tip 6: usually when I lose 2 games one after the another I leave unless I really wanna play more. If I don't say "I really want another game" I'm better off, go watch some series, play another thing, even play other gamemodes outside ranked

[@davidsherman8382]

I'd like to see more videos that discuss this level of strategy. Knowing "lane matchups" sounds very important, but how can we learn about what is effective or not?

[@manuelarocho8131]

​@@davidsherman8382 I can give an example but it's mainly knowing what other characters can do and limits. A Sylveon in lane vs a Cram. Early on cram can cause issues for eevee and the eevee players needs to be careful with positioning and get farm as best they can safely. MAchop and Lucario, Lucario is a bit strong for Machop but can stand toe to toe if playing right and not in each others faces. Snorlax and Ninetails vs Charmander and Elde in lane. The Charmander and elde need to be aware they cannot be extremely aggressive against this for a bit. This is just a few random examples. Of course there are many combinations in lanes with characters that are hard and not. It takes time to learn and read others abilities.

[@dukeriver01]

I really like adding people who played very well during my solo matches so I get to try to invite them for a duo or possibly trio queue. Even without comms it's a bit better than just getting random people every match

[@Sezenian]

I would argue that the amount you score is highly dependent on the role you are playing. Because small and quick scores for a low HP character are better than not scoring because you got killed before you could even enter the goal...

[@redbunn2282]

Another tip that i hope Spragel pinned this. Is Fill the Role that your team lacks. its understandable that you want to play your Favorite pokemon but if your team is consist of 4 Squishy Characters (Wether its Speedsters or Attackers) and it lacks a Tank, be a Bigger player and play Supporter or Defender that fills the role as a Tank of your random team dont act surprised when your team loses to enemy team with more Balanced Team Composition And never steal Jungle/Central it doesn't matter if you switch playing a speedster dont be entitled, if someone calls central FIRST let them have it you'll eventually can able to catch up with the Levels eventually Edit: It doesn't matter, my point is if someone calls central first let them have it, learn how to Lane

Thanks Jake, it’s nice when the entire player base of a game has shared knowledge, just makes it more fun to play, and I’m happy you’re contributing to that with general tip vids like this one.

[@YonRaptail]

As an old lol player, i want to add value to this moba guide :D - don't steal jungle farm, you deny a level to your velocist wich is very important for early ganks and objectives - bushes can make you strike first and win most of the time - camping is good but don't sit too much time - keep look at the minimap to decide the next move - as jungler, slay the pokemon in jungle that gives you the 2 buffs before going to zapdos. - know your pokemon and adapt to the match and teams, changing moves and items depending on your and enemy team. - as jungler f you're bigger than enemy jungler, you can try invade it and steal his farm. This is very effective if done correctly because you deny levels and make the next fight a potentially N vs N -0.5 ~ -1 power - a moba is made with "micro" , pokemon playstyle , and "macro" map strategy playing. Convert kills into objectives like dreadnaught zapdos and goals. - focus on your and not on your teammates mistake, accept your faults and work on them, so that you'll be the one that carry the games. Sometimes you'll be the one carried but you'll minimize the loss. Take what is good for you and have a nice game, ggwp.

I really appreciate you talking about all the ways to come back in the game. So many people give up as soon as things get muddy.

[@pixeldogz]

I tend to be really hard on myself when playing competitive games but my partner who plays league told me to change my mindset. Instead of playing to win, "play to learn" even losing helps you learn. Once I changed my mindset to that, I stopped being so hard on myself for losing games and instead focused on learning on how to deal with different situations properly.

[@t0kie10]

[@Mettie7]

On tip 10, I think there are times where it's smart to surrender like when two of your teammates afk.

[@CollectiveHeights]

Wrong. I’ve won plenty of games with 2 people afk. It’s not easy. But the 3 players that are still playing have to be a good complementary match.

[@littlemysummer]

Maybe knowing your role also contributes to winning. If you are a supporter or defender Pokémon, try to give all the first few experience for your attackers and all-arounders so they can evolve faster. Also, know when your character receives a power spike. If you are an attacker/all-arounder who manage to get the power spike early on, give your supporter/defender a chance to evolve. Don't steal their kills. If you are in the top lane, take the very first Corphish spawn immediately. If you're in the bottom lane, kill the Audino. Both spawn in the middle of their lanes and you get a good headstart experience.

[@Play-Ghost]

Another tip! Dont be the protagonist: if your pokemon doesn't fix the role, then stop trying to use it that way. If you are a defender, dont go out of your way to 1v3 the opponents. That's the job of an all-rounder. If you are a speedster, quit throwing yourself out in the frontlines with no support. Stop acting like a zoroark when you are a sableye LEARN what your pokemon is meant to do and stick to that nature. Snorlaxes don't protect allies They hinder opponents for those said allies to get free hits on em. If you are a spirit shackle, decidueye, you shouldn't be in the direct battleground. You need to stay back and do huge damage to the enemies without them getting the drop on you. If you are a zoroark, USE ILLUSION. Lower your opponents' gaurd for that split second before they realise that you aren't one of them. Use illusion for the invulnerable frames you get (which was added specifically for zoroark being the least bulky pokemon at the time)

[@KillaJ2R4D]

Great video. It seems that less and less players are calling lanes now. Don’t know why that is, but it should be done. Usually the one who doesn’t call a lane is going to steal the central area. If they just called central (Even if it’s a good 10 seconds after you called it) you could adjust and chose something else. On principle I don’t like doing that though.

[@jdmammoth62]

I agree. A thing that couples with this is paying attention to what others call and trying to work around it if you haven’t chosen a lane. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to jungle or lane with a friend, but am interrupted by an extra in the lane. And, don’t afk just because you don’t get your way. It just hurts yourself and your teammates.

[@AdityaSingh-tg3pd]

Yes , calling lanes tells that how you intend to play the Pokemon and also helps people understand that whether you actually know that Pokemon or not

[@AngelLopez-yp7ez]

It's been happening a lot lately it's usually me & 1 or 2 other payers who will call our lane then the rest of the team doesn't 😩 it always ends up starting with too many teammates in one lane that doesn't help anyone - we lose farming & one lane is always struggling - honestly some players are stubborn or don't listen when u send the message for them to go to top lane like we already called bottom lane & it isn't fair to anyone

[@NirYuZy]

I usually do not call lanes since I'd rather let the attackers call it. Since I'm a defender and Idk where they are going most of the time and sometimes I go to the wrong lane.

[@frostymasso6508]

That last tip has to be the best tip I've heard! I had a game where the enemy got Zapdos, but my Charizard and Machamp went to counter-score while the rest of us defend cuz three of the enemies are KOed.

On number 10, yes- you do lose every game you surrender. You also have so, SO many ways to come back. BUT- as someone who has played MOBAs for probably 8000+ hours and played at the top level in different games, I think it's healthy to analyze the situation and accept it when it's not going to be a good time, even if you win it might increase your points but doesn't always increase your motivation (unless it's an epic and exciting comeback, but a lot of times they'll have this unsatisfying result or feeling) Winning more is a marathon, not a sprint so keeping yourself in a positive headspace can help you focus on improving yourself and working on the next game, and the game after.

[@dapukisgoingon]

To expand upon the "it's just a game" tip. Have a break! Play 3-4 games at a time, then chill, listen to some music, have a snack, shoot some hoops, message your crush, or whatever. Personally, this is especially important once you have a losing streak, I can guarantee you'll make bad decisions if you continue pushing it without having a break.

[@KamakazeTaco]

When the guy who called top lane decides to compete with the jungler the whole match, that seems like a good time to surrender. When your jungler is 15, has been carrying 50 points since forever and continues to kill mobs instead of trying to attack a lane or ever score, that's a good time to surrender When your team ignores every dreadmaw and vespiquen and hasn't won a team fight yet, that's a good time to surrender. It's possible to have a bad start and still win. But it's MUCH more likely the teammates who play terribly the first 5 minutes aren't going to suddenly learn the game in the last 5.

On one hand, I agree that people try to surrender when the game is nowhere near over and there is plenty of chance to win. But some people have taken 'never surrender' a bit too far. It is frustrating when you're in a game that has been downhill from the start, you've lost Zap, the other team dunked a ton of points, and sure there is a minute+ remaining but you're down by several hundred points, there is no coming back, but still my random teammates refuse to surrender. I know it's only a minute, but it's still a waste of time that I could be using to move on to the next game that will hopefully go better.

Thanks man, that Tip 8 really helped me a lot, I kinda forgot that this is a game and its supposed to be fun, I kinda struggle sometimes losing 3 matches in a row and I get really mad, but even when I win, I couldnt get the feeling like I used to get when I used to win when I started the game! But now that you remembered me, I bet I can, so, thanks

[@naruto33445566]

#10 don't surrender is super important. And it's not just about not pressing the surrender button, but also having the never give up mentality. The difficult part in solo is that sometimes you encounter people who really just give up and not even try to take zap or defend goals

[@TjKitch]

Tip # 11 - tape your teammates' eyes open and force them to watch this video.

[@anonhiki]

, strap them to a chair too! :)

[@ScrekBrrrr]

0:18 when your teammates steal your pentakill

[@raguna4231]

9:00 - NO JAKE, I PLAY THIS GAME TO SUFFER But jokes aside, these are really helpful cause they're pretty simple to do tips and does indeed help out a lot since there are some that are too game specific, like the score management one, to be intuitively picked up on by some of the players that played that came from different MOBAs

[@flordelizapacifico4022]

Fun fact: I got confused when it said Drednaw gave us EXP at the past, I thought it gave us Aeos Points. Since it didn't give me or my team Aeos Points I considered Drednaw useless. Edit: Also look at the minimap! If your teammate is taking Rotom and they can take it alone, leave it so you can distract the upcoming enemies! Buying time for your teammates to do objectives like at 10:53 is a good practice, you never know if this can help you destroy a goal or get a level or two!

[@PissedGrunty]

Dred is EXP & shields, Rotom gives Aeos and faster scoring one point. Dred gives a big pop-up saying so.

[@charito_349]

I remember I played a game last week We lost all the objective except for the 2nd rotom which destroyed their first goal zone and I got to steal zap and we won by 200 points ahead

[@SnowmanBiggz]

not even supporting the everyone gets a trophy mentality....but I have to say sometimes surrendering is better. The only thing you learn from losing a match is that you lost. It doesn't teach you or your team what you could've done better because unless you are all in discord or something with each other there is no quantifiable communication that doesn't take away time from your game. Even when you are still running while letting the team know which lane you are going to, you cannot use your moves while also trying to communicate. So that van be vital time you squandered over trying to be helpful. There is no replay that shows you mistakes you or your team made, or that explain which mechanics you should be going for at various stages of the game...all that information is what we get by watching videos like yours from someone who has played far more to better understand said mechanics. Surrendering when a game has the opportunity to be turned around shouldn't happen sure. But when there's no possible chance of coming back its better to surrender and take the loss since you are going to lose anyway. You save yourself from embarrassment, you get to the next game faster and or to the practice session where you might want to spend some time. Learning things like catch up mechanics though is something that especially new players to moba games aren't likely to catch on to that. They probably will only truly play casually too which means they aren't likely to catch any of the mechanics that would make them better ranked players. Surrendering really only negatively affects those that are worried about their ratios and that suggests they taking the game more seriously than they really need to afte all it is just a game for fun right? All that being said, if your team is clearly winning or isn't far behind and can easily catch up then surrender shouldn't be an option. It's just never not an option. Those who choose to stay and fight a lost battle are only hindering those who wanted to take the guaranteed loss and move on to the next game.

[@tatsukinomiya]

Idk if Spragels will see this but your video quality has gotten SOOOOO much better! Keep up the great work

[@stephaniebarnes2956]

Honestly, your tips for the game on how to play certain roles, really helped to up my game. I've only started to play Pokémon Unite a couple days ago. By watching just a few of your videos, it really helped me to see what mistakes I have been making. I love to play Boss Rush's if I get too frustrated with the standard matches. xD

[@Nintendilly]

Spot on video! Been waiting for someone to make something like this that will reach people.. Too many people in masters that miss alot of these points and it makes it harder for everyone

[@andrethegoat1994]

Me coming into the video knowing that I will probably know all the tips but have to watch to support Jake

[@emeraldgiss]

The only time I surrender is when every single thing went bad, but that doesn't happen very often. Usually it involves a person going afk right before zap and after.

[@Nobody.thatyouknow]

I'm not finished with the video yet, I actually just started watching off now. But as someone who is in the Veteran class and striving to get to Ultra \ Master class, I hope I see some helpful tips in this video, especially for hard-core players such as myself!

[@Nobody.thatyouknow]

Watching it*

[@captaincriticize8050]

People who call a lane, then go to a different one are monsters and have never felt their mother's love.

[@humourlessjester3584]

That song in the end has changed my outlook in life and has quickly inspired me to never surrender games.

[@tyruku18]

11:20 Whenever I top lane and defend instead of going to Dred. When I tame Rotom and it destroys it, I abuse their catch up Audinos and take down the enemies.

[@hhellinn]

What if instead of doing that you go dred and let the enemy team take your top point so the audinos will be on YOUR side. Please show up to dred and not give them audinos. You won't be able to farm their audinos and bees consistently enough because it's on their side and close to their point.

[@Tailionis]

This video should be mandatory for all new players

[@mathewjhawes]

Came for the tips - stayed for those sweet graphics. Seriously Jake - your knowledge and humor is on point. It's no wonder your channel is exploding! Congrats!

[@newish6675]

The intro is so accurate

[@MariaDenisJ]

Can't choose a particular tip that was best , all was important ones . Good job jake

[@danialhariz619]

Thanks for the tip,now everyone know the basics

[@josssh6634]

Very good tips, definitely keep them in mind playing

[@kandaffar2344]

Tip #4 really speaks to me, one of my biggest flaws is trying to wait for the perfect moment. The others I already do, probably because I'm a subscriber.

[@TheADHDCat]

10/10 content. The song was the cherry on top

[@cobyward2878]

This is awesome! I used to play Smite a lot and I am learning Unite way faster watching your stuff!

[@davidrothman5258]

Its only funny when the other team gives up. Any how here's my tip. Down fight pokemon that run away from you. Its a pain and they are just trying to reach there goal to get limitless heath.

[@Shocari]

Tip 8 is maybe the best tip that everyone needs to hear more than anything

[@jameslittle8086]

I truly do love watching you every morning man

[@spragels]

Thank you!

[@shiny._eevee]

When tip 10 was mentioned it reminded me of this one time I was playing a quick match in Mer Stadium with some new players and THEY LITERALLY SURRENDERED EVEN THO WE WERE FAR AHEAD OF THE ENEMIES. It really pissed me but despite my anger for it its also funny. This was just something random I decided to share.

[@michaelglbrt17]

The thing about surrendering is what if you end up with teammates that legitimately DO NOT know what they're doing and are playing like they downloaded the game just yesterday. You can't necessarily win if you're teammates are playing like complete noobs, which they more than likely are.

[@mlbrandon94]

Tip #11. Don't steal your own team's jungle.

[@grimloxx]

Still the best unite content out here , i dont even play the game anymore and i still watch all your vids , 👏🏽 what a long way you’ve come fam 💪🏽💪🏽

[@alexd740]

All great advice minus the not surrendering. Don’t waste time when you playing with scrubs or let your team know we are destined to lose with the current poor gameplay.

[@MrKrustie]

Great video, love the tips. I think the most important thing to learn the quickest is to be where you are suppose to be when you need to be. And since I said it a confusing and complicated way they should just watch this video a few times. Also, I like the tip about it being a game and to have fun.

[@danha3107]

It's incredibly hard NOT to surrender when we're behind AND teammates have made it clear they don't know what overextending is AND they refuse to listen to "gather here" calls for objectives And by incredibly hard I literally will ff5 if I see that from all my teammates lmao. idc how good you are, you cannot literally 1v9 when teammates aren't even there to soak damage/unites

[@AdityaSingh-tg3pd]

True, sometimes the game is just beyond saving

[@I_love_arbiter]

I like how blastoise turns around like its trying to say smth at 7:30

[@Byky87]

Very helpful tips .. Big thanks to you jake !!!!!!!

[@Lily-xl4hg]

Are there any extra tips that could be useful in competitive tournaments that wasn't covered in this video?
