BIGGEST Winners & Losers! Unison Strike Pokemon Unite Patch

[@Gemini050788]

Winners - Timi Losers - Us

[@coffeebreak454]

Winners: People who left the game or completely ignore it 😅

[@simakonar6196]

All the people commenting the same shi* every vdo- idiots

[@PJMCFC777]

Remember, if any buff seems out of place it just means the pokemon is getting holowear soon!

[@spragels]

So true

[@Prince_Spoopy]

I lowkey feel the devs are scared to make the second part of Acid Spray knock up all marked targets. I feel this would make Goodra really good. CCing the whole team would be way better than one mon at a time for Goodra Sword imho is the biggest winner cause it hasn’t seen any spotlight in such a long time… I’m on the same boat that would like for the devs to do something about Iron Head though

[@maxbale3954]

Darkrai is the biggest winner this patch, how it avoided nerfs I’ll never know… I think you’re spot on with aegislash being the biggest loser, iron head being unplayable is head scratching

[@Brisingr26]

Winners: Darkrai and Mimikyu (pls nerf) Losers: Duraludon...might become the duraludon memorial tier if they keep this up

[@Just_Anup]

As an A button presser hater, I hope they never buff any of those. The last Dura Nerf was kinda weird though

[@devil-zu3bs]

Big looser is match making

[@RyansChannel0203]

Greedent definitely needed that nerf. It was an absolute menace in solo queue whenever you saw it.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Honestly, I'm a little surprised they didn't give the season pokemon a buff. I remember they used to always give pokemon a buff that were in the season pass. But it might be for part 2.

[@spragels]

Yeah maybe in a bit

[@darkchaos0779]

Don’t understand the A9 nerfs when Glaceon and some others remain untouched…

[@KevinPearsall-hj8mt]

I've said since the Sylveon chest that if Timi just put an actual gem price on it more people would buy it vs spending a random amount and I'm happy they are testing that now. I don't plan on buying it because I don't play Waterbear but still happy to see!

[@mr.ethechromeleonpaladin8898]

Yeah there's gonna be a unison strike if the Don't fix the ranked game mode the so graciously "fixed"

[@lloydter]

You are right jake, The patches in unite are just not changing anything. I can't see this patch interesting enough to keep me entertained until the next patch which will be no less than half a month later. The meta hadn't seen much changes since maybe the buzzwole-blastoise nerfs we got like centuries ago or the ttar buff around the same time. The best 18/20 mons has continuously regained their crown while the subsequent buffs is just barely good to get at most 1 mon into the top places while the other buffs just jumbles the mon from C to B+ or if lucky enough to an A tier pick. Not nerfing a op mon to the ground at once is fine but just shakes things a little with the buffs. Let the new people see(which takes a majority of the playerbase) why luca is so feared by a lot of old players and things like that.

[@KevinPearsall-hj8mt]

A9 basically feels the same with the right items and Emblem builds

[@ig_herns]

brooo for a solo wiggly, the way they nerfed her AGAIN is insane. her unite having a buff is nice and all but with no unite cooldown buff like blissey then what's the point? so she's turned entirely irrelevant until she gets her unite? jeez. i guess it's meh if you're a sing player but if you're rollout then this is basically the game saying play sing. lmao

[@spragels]

Wiggly already has a super low cooldown after a buff a while back. It’s one of the shortest unite move cooldowns in the game.

[@Belesprit656]

It's definitely more of a buff than a nerf.

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

You’re throwing playing roll out.

[@jakiru8783]

Would love to see Wiggly share the same lowest unite cooldown with Delphox

[@ayushdubey1960]

for me biggest nerf to roll out was removing remote stadium, the new map have more curvy walls so u can't perform the combo often times

[@Hisuian_zoroark_and_zorua_fan]

I had a game where greedent damage was 100000.

[@Mekwek]

With Sylveon being one of the four poster childs for Unison Strike, it being very recently added to Pokémon Sleep, Eeveelutions being the focus point of the new TCG set, etc. I can't see it not being buffed in the next patch

[@michaelpeterson4604]

Sylveon has been on pokemon sleep for a long, long time? What do you mean

[@Mekwek]

​@@michaelpeterson4604 Oh 💀 I just got a Short of the announcement trailer for Sylveon, so I thought it was new :P

[@YosefRabun]

2:06 you know what else is massive

[@toomayps214]

wailord

[@robolilac]

your mom

[@Just_Anup]

....... You know Gardevoirs can be a male

[@Mekwek]

As someone who took a long break from Unite and is coming back into it, I'm devastated that Aegislash and Goodra got those buffs, since my allies in Veteran class just throw themselves at them without knowing how to actually deal with them :') A Comfey attached itself to an Aegislash in one of my games and it got lvl 15 when there were more than 3 minutes remaining 😭

[@tichieljuspian3458]

Winners - Trio Queue Players (Blissey Buffs) Losers - All solo and duo queue players.

[@cocoa-punite]

Sword definitely got huge buffs, it's gonna be scary to play against now. Goodra too, I've been trying to tell everyone that Muddy Water is better, but nobody listens. Maybe now people finally will

[@Hisuian_zoroark_and_zorua_fan]

Just make Falinks troops so that they wont give full heal/shield and remove counters from the troops.

[@tomasbessa9650]

Actually like the Blissey buffs as it encourages those people who ONLY play attackers to actually play support sometimes

[@Snail_Lord75]

They just need to do more patches like this but with like 2-3 time the Pokemon changed

[@abduraghmaanariefdien4522]

Cram is the biggest winner bc didnt get a random nerf 😂

[@jakiru8783]

-Blissey is definitely gonna need some sort of nerf to its unite like damage perhaps. -Watershifu buffs felt surprisingly good. -Liking the direction they are pulling Umbreon but a rework into just a Supporter for balancing would be amazing. -Need time to play Aegislash but its buffs seem significant! -Don't like seeing all the Zacians lol Overall, okay patch but I agree it needed to be more. A few items could have been changed. Goal Hacker is just completely forgotten. We need to see more reworks and buffing of movesets or pokemon that are just never used. I'd love it if they considered reworking some Pokemon into different roles, especially older more outdated mons, particularly into the Support role.

[@PiantaBroker]

i love Aegislash with the stance change, but I wish they make Iron Head and Shadow Claw more useful with its boosted attack. Iron Head having a low cooldown and neglect damage is kinda fine, but Shadow Claw with slow and increased crit rate seems useless to me. Both sword moves knock up anyways. And Sacred Sword ignores Def. And I'm a very flex person, as i strive to use every move depending on the situations

[@blazie42069]

Muddy Water goodra with resonant guard might see play now even if only the slightest bit

[@melodyreiscott]

Loving how nice Goodra feels again ^^

[@StudiousTome]

Aegis Iron Head is fine. A rework to make it a window of dmg immunity would be nice, but unlike Wide Guard it's more risk more skill. It's fine given the cdr on block, it's just not dealing dmg or cc which is *fine*.

[@caimn7227]

Biggest winner: It's obviously blissey Biggest loser: Cram, didnt get his dive nerfs reverted

[@shaucnore4613]

I think goodra is probably the biggest winner. Thinking about picking it up and finally trying out some defender. Biggest loser is probably psyduck but that was warranted.

[@spragels]

you won a tinkaton! message me on discord for your code

[@shaucnore4613]

@@spragels Thank you so much, I messaged you on discord.

[@echo3569]

Love the Goodra and Blissey buffs

[@Tiredsleepyeven]

Tbh i know at then end you mentioned slightly bigger changes for a season patch, though i would also want that, I prefer they do this where its small nerfs and buffs see how it goes then tweak it accordingly. Also no cram nerf? Weird

[@tonicconverse]

Gardevoir will pass the level lock earlier now

[@rufusdrumknottvgc]

As a Goodra and Blissey player, I am thriving rn lol. Also surprised they buffed Blissey's Unite, its power and success is well documented so, like, why? Not complaining though lol.

[@Hisuian_zoroark_and_zorua_fan]

Union strike.

[@Keegan006]

Changes have been very conservative… looks how they nerfed Charizard into bottom tier again

[@spragels]

Haha

[@Belesprit656]

Falinks might be the biggest loser, it probably still needs a small buff right? Hard to say I never see it. Maybe Blissey Unite got a buff because they're going to change it, hmm, probably not.

[@stomp21]

Has anyone noticed Spragels looks and sounds like Paul Rudd 😆

[@aaap3807]

Missed opportunity to call this patch "Unicorn strike" with G. Rapidash coming next week, smh Timi

[@riversol5125]

Lol that's what I read it as too

[@johnnyray9107]

Darkrai is a big winner for dodging nerfs.

[@GeoffreyForest]

Umbreon def a winner for not getting more nerfs

[@BlightOwl]

Any tips for someone getting back into this with only maybe 100 Games played?

[@djalidjalo]

Any patch that doesn't change all 4 bans is a bad patch

[@Asakedia]

I want to see something positive for mew :(

[@JadenDickson-21]

They still need to work on taranittar my boy is hard to level up 😢

[@simakonar6196]

Thats the point

[@Just_Anup]

I regret buying him, never played after the first two games

[@investor.z]

Remember back when Krashy said everyone who is worse than him should quit the game, and you defended him in fear of having any sort of divisive opinion that may make your child friendly audience uncomfortable?

[@Kinosho_Ichigo]

Poor Falinks has been a patch loser for so long. Hope they get the attention those troopers deserve soon!

[@Rhystic_Buddy]

I hope you like Tinkaton hmm wonder what he’s giving?

[@spragels]

It’s unclear

[@Monkeyfuzz]

I'm the biggest loser of all. In terms of this patch idk, nothing moving that drastically also means stuff that needs buffs is a bigger loser, and as you mention Falinks I can go with that. A Unite buff would help at least.

[@kahunamed]

The big winner is Goodra with the Muddy Water buffs The big loser is me because my teammates will still run Dragon Pulse to stat farm

[@riversol5125]

I think Sword is the big winner and have been seeing him in almost every game. I think the big looser is T-tar because they completely passed him over.

[@leandroacevedo4144]

Who is the best Pokémon now?

[@michaelpeterson4604]

The player base is still the worst in existence an TiMi dropped the ball for the 1,000,000,000th time

[@randomsheep1165]

Poor wigglytuff😢

[@paulyotzuar2788]

It's so unnecessary to nerf wiggly in that way, it doesn't make sense it's not like wiggly was doing insane damage. First they nerf sing and now this

[@amanlodhi1830]

Falinks is an example of loneliness 😶‍🌫️

[@someone999555]

Biggest winner is easily blissey imo. They took one of the best mons in the game, imo top 5-10... gave it a tiny slap on the wrist in an aspect which is barely relevant and buffed the most broken thing about its kit significantly. Ive said it before, ill say it again: buffing blissey unite is a hate crime

[@AniketPokemonUnitePlayer]

Yo I am very happy about Aegislash

[@chiefceez4452]

The losers are all the defenders

[@smoothsinger422]

The biggest losers are the players because they still didn't fix matchmaking

[@unluckyluis]

Is anyone else having a terrible start? I'm at 42wr and there is nothing I can do to win.

[@muhammad_zaman1990]

big - hooh big - hoopa unbound

[@isaacmullins4598]

They did my beautiful baby umbreon dirty

[@nosiop7483]

Haha

[@Gurkan790]

More like deserved lol it was one of the best defenders for the longest time and still is

[@manuelarocho8131]

Good... literally the best defender since launch. Even when it got "over shadowed"

[@MusicComet]

They didn't even nerf it properly, it's still gonna be meta.

[@Shinrius]

Bullshit, still strong

[@iStanu-m6d]

Biggest winners for sure goodra and aegislash although i still dont think they are top tier, but the biggest loser is psyduck imo

[@cartoonmultiverse906]

Finally Goodra

[@Kiiingcesa]

For the love of god give tyranitar a buff please

[@kaihandel9291]

I've been asking for months to have goodra nerfed... And now they buff it! 😭😭😭

[@Borderlines]

Loser: Mew 😤 still no buffs

[@陳朱銘]

Good job ❤❤❤

[@darkling5780]

THE BIGGEST LOSERS ARE the playerbase... matchmaking is just pure garbage

[@paulcampbell8324]

Belch greedent actually had like a 55-56% win rate on unite api so the nerfs felt pretty reasonable tbh

[@sppp]

4 am lurking 😎

[@alexkramer8609]

Winner will the most annoying prop. 💕

[@yummyputty3380]

Secret winner is miraidon

[@Sparky_Pup_Slays]

I think goodra was good even before buffs- don’t hate xd

[@sppp]

To answer your question, I am obsessed with Blisseys buffs. I play supports and that was already not needed. But highly appreciated. Rare timi win from me.

[@Tre37]

My union!!!! 😂

[@ScarletSupernova-m2w]

Can somebody please tell me what does Zacians Intrepid Sword do?

[@Turtlemotivatbe]

They have some personal problem my black cat

[@someone999555]

? Umbreon was by far the best defender. They gave it a minor nerf, which may actually turn out to be a buff in the hands of a skilled player. It has been a top 3 defender ever since its release... they do not have a problem with umbreon whatsoever, they love it way too much and coddle it and give it preferential treatment if anything

[@cloudstrifevii554]

Yuhhhhh

[@sadancorrea6335]

Only way for me to play falinks is if they change how the little soldiers interact with stuff like blazikens passive. Its just too frustrating

[@Rakib-47_]

Goodra emerges as a significant winner due to buffs that enhance its move speed reduction and damage-dealing capabilities, making it a more appealing choice. In contrast, Greedent faces a nerf, specifically a damage reduction to its Belch move, which has been criticized as unnecessary. Zacian also benefits from the patch, requiring less energy for its Intrepid Sword, allowing for improved early and late-game performance. Sylveon receives only minor tweaks, while Gardevoir's change of evolving earlier is seen as not significantly impacting its gameplay. Psyduck and Alolan Ninetales are cited as patch losers despite Psyduck's persistent effectiveness. Wigglytuff is regarded positively thanks to enhanced support features while Ursaluna gains a notable damage boost, which could influence competitive play. Umbreon sees mixed changes, but Aegislash significantly improves with boosted defenses and attack damage, though concerns remain about its Iron Head move. Failings is also noted as a competitive absence, needing buffs to regain relevance. Blissey is highlighted as a major winner, receiving a substantial cooldown reduction on its Unite move, making it a more formidable choice in matches. While some changes are positive, the patch feels conservative and could benefit from more substantial adjustments to shake up the meta and enhance gameplay.

[@ry4N__________________________]

thanks for the generative ai analysis of this...?

​@@ry4N__________________________ ikr lmfao

[@someone999555]

Ah yes, ursaluna, my favourite pokemon in unite

[@KasinoBlack]

Bro wants that Tinkaton bad

[@Just_Anup]

​@@KasinoBlack... 😳

[@morrisless2707]

I'm a sword main, and iron head build is slept on, especially in capable hands. With buffs I feel like us sword boys will dominate even more!

[@raizer21able]

Gj

[@KasinoBlack]

I don’t have Blissey, but I have been playing Goodra and have been tearing it up in casuals 😂 140k damage 3 games in a row with resonant guard build.

[@pnr2736]

Yoooo

[@spragels]

Yeehaw

[@sakaiiyuji7977]

Did spragels realy said "muddy water is the better moveset on goodra"? How many games does he have with goodra? A few? Muddy water was allways the worst on goodra. The only time where it shines, is in NON solo que, where you have support teammates with heal. Otherwise, the dragon pulse is better (dunno the exact english name)

[@spragels]

It’s always been better. It always has a better win rate. Dragon Pulse is a noob stomper.
