The 5 Mistakes YOU Are Making That Cost You The Match In Pokemon Unite - Mobile IOS Android Switch

[@mrmysterycake]

Pro Tip: If you're jungle, call out which lane you're about to gank before heading to that lane. If you have competent players they'll lean back to let the enemy push so you can do a proper 3v2 gank.

[@spragels]

Yeah this is very helpful

[@Kendall21012345]

Also if you jungle: make sure you take the farm in a timely manner. So many people take their jungle farm once a game then fight in lane the entire match lol

Thanks for spreading awareness about mistake number 4. That is also one of my main pet peeves for pokemon unite as well.

[@brunoreis4455]

One play i make when im extreme speed lucario and people just started zap despite the entire enemy team coming, is to get in the middle path going to their base and speeding through everyone and than popping unite to damage everybody and help me escape So i can at least either buy time for my team to take zap and make their health a bit lower Edit: horible idea if their team have a stun god like mr mime, wiggly or pikachu

[@marinko1862]

I've been playing for 10 days now and I'm Veteran 3. Here are some things I learnt playing: -If you are leading and it comes to zapdos don't even fight him because you are risking losing it for nothing. People get greedy and want to absolutely destroy their enemies and that loses you games. -If you are playing support,in the early game don't last hit farm as for other role like attacker it's more crucial to get first to level 5. -Using "gather here" or "heading to top lane" is very important as your team knows how to cordinate better. -After finishing you Drednaw or Rotom,(if possible) go to the other lane and support killing other guy. -If you are jungler learn the best route that works for you and know when will buffs spawn again so you can teleport back to the base and kill them asap. If your farm is sitting there forever,me from other lane will take it as you don't take the advantage that you have. -After killing zapdos and scoring don't get greedy and just teleport to the base, camp at the jump pad,so you have full review where enemies are. When you see them scoring just jump on them as it cancels the scoring animation.(unless they have score shield) -Always look at the minimap and be aware -Drednaw is better early game and Rotom endgame where scoring is more important. XP does not matter

[@Jrssnjr]

Something very important that I feel stays implicit too often (despite you showing it here several times) is that everyone should really train themselves to keep checking the minimap. Example: The other day I was playing a game with good team mates who really all seemed to know what they were doing. It was solo q but everyone played strategically, we won the objectives, took momentum in team fights and steered away from unnecessary exchanges. By Zap our lead in points and xp was rather big. But when Zap started, all 5 enemies were on it, versus only me and one team mate. Three other members of my team were farming for a score on different places of the map. The opponent got zap and won by just a margin, despite all the pinging the game would allow in the span of 15 seconds. These players showed real insight in the game and were all able to work as a team, so I can only conclude that they just assumed they were the only one who had peeled away. With 4v5 our xp lead was big enough to defend Zap for sure, but none of them seemed to even realize it was a 2v5. Keep an eye out for your team mates, your opponents, objectives, xp hotspots and potential team fights, all on that minimap, for all of the game!

[@mrsdragonite]

Map is imperative! I look at it about 50% of the time while playing. While I'm playing in the moment I'm always plotting my next move.

I only hide at zap when my entire team isn't at zap or is dead in hopes to take it, if not I join the fight. I don't make any of the other mistakes really, or as far as I know and can help.

[@patricknguyen4848]

A better suggest that, if you're on a winning lead, you should be defending zapdos and watching your goals instead of staying in the bush waiting for an enemy player to appear. you can see zapdos by tapping the map position where it is. enemy may already know you're in the bush but then as most players do. they just face check regardless.

I quickly learned that scoring while Zap is up is a really bad decision to make. It always bit me in the butt. I do wish that winning at Master rank rewarded more, and that losing penalised you less. You are 1/5 of a team and it really sucks when you end up on a team that just isn't working.

[@eugenealdecoa7717]

It's not. The 4 people have to defend Zapdos while the other one is scoring. If it goes well, you won't need to take Zapdos. If the 4 dies, the other one kills the low health remaining ones.

[@mossthebryophyter]

I agree so much with number 4. 4 vs 5 in a team fight means you're likely gonna lose. Also, I try to take rotom right before zapdos so it can distract enemies but sometimes, 2 teammates are still trying to push it in while zapdos is up

"Stop hiding in the bushes!!" *slowly puts binoculars away*....so funny! Great video!!

[@KaMak719]

I think a good QOL improvement is to add a chat option along the lines of “can I have x role?” And it prompts the other person to sure / sorry no. The amount of times someone tried to jungle with me, but never even called the lane costed us a slow start. I’d happily play another role.

[@mehshutup3041]

Also add "stop attacking zapdos!"

[@NullFX]

Right? I’m ok with playing any role. There’s at least one mon in each that I can enjoy playing. I just didn’t expect the attacker to want to jungle so I grabbed a speedster.

[@MissMoontree]

I barely ever go speedster, but no one did and I called jungle. The other person starts the game with an attacker and starts stealing my jungle despite never having called lane :/ I really like being support so please call jungle if you are going to

[@aquaffinity]

I had multiple matches as Crustle where usually teamfights occur at zapdos and I gotta be honest, I sometimes hide in the bush, not because I like to snipe zapdos, but I like to lure the enemies near so that I could perfectly set up. But if I'm needed in the team fight, then I'll help them. If my whole team is dead before zapdos spawns, my only choice is to quickly hide in the bush near zapdos and hope that none from the enemy team checks the bush, then I could snipe it. (It worked multiple times tbf)

[@nekusakuraba6470]

The biggest mistakes I make is learning when the right time to farm is, literally level 8 and the next thing I know the enemy is level 10 and up somehow

[@thebattlebro3090]

Dred and coordinated score pushes can do that, In the highest Master Rank play, you can see the winner before the 5 Minute mark due to how aggressively a single 3v2 score push changes levels, especially if you can farm the opponent's side of the map in the 10 or so seconds after the push. As far as dred goes, I have had way too many matches where dred is contested for minutes by my team while the enemy carry mons wander the map and get over-leveled just to come back and stomp.

[@justinsaiyan5587]

Out of all of these I definitely chase at times more then I should. Or push too far in lane only to end up in a 1v2/3

[@spragels]

Yeah chasing can be a mess sometimes

[@atgosh]

In the first clip, that absol threw the match the second he attacked zap, and you know he's the one spamming Surrender when it went south.

[@stormnightmare4378]

It’s always the speedsters/junglers who just immediately start attacking Zapdos in my experience (especially Absol, Greninja and Zeraora) ._. I dunno if they wanna flex how much damage they can do to it in 5 seconds (just enough so that the enemy can perfectly steal it and win), but they are throwing the game way too often.

[@XxTriKzR4KiDzxX]

My biggest thing is when your team starts zap even though you have a significant lead. losing zapdos can often be the only way your team loses, but they immediately try and rush it down and risk the coin flip. instead, all you have to do is wait around zap, let the enemy team try and push into you, win the fight, and then take it when there is a 99% chance you get it. even if they miracle steal it in that situation only 1-2 opponents will get a chance to score, and whoever stole is likely just dying just after

Mistake #6: Wasting your Unite move before Zapdos. You should always have your Unite move ready at the most important objective of the game: Zapdos. Unless you can get a teamwipe with your Unite move shortly before Zapdos, always save it for Zapdos/the Zapdos fight. (A general rule of thumb I have is when the timer hits 3:00 and I have my Unite move ready, I will save it for Zapdos no matter what. Otherwise I will farm for it before Zapdos spawns.) The team with the most Unite moves ready at Zapdos has the greatest advantage after all. (Not to talk about Broken Barrier...) I swear most people will just burn their Unite shortly before Zapdos and then not have it for the Zapdos fight, costing them the teamfight/the game.

Pro tip: The mid game alerts are super janky on switch so be safe and try not to use them at all as not to accidentally press the wrong signal and create confusion among your team.

[@DarkFoxKit]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's having trouble with that. I stopped using those simply because I keep accidentally using the wrong message, which likely caused my team to get confused and make a bad play, because I told them to 'gather here' when I meant 'going top lane'. >> To make it worse, I can't immediately correct what I said since the chat actually takes a second or two to recharge.

With the current buff on rotom, some people prioritize rotom over dreadnaw and keep on pushing the top lane early on, while some still prefer dreadnaw. It's hard to sync and communicate sometimes when there's two ideology in one team.

[@simoncharlton3426]

Personally i still prefer going dred first, since it allows for immediate pressure transference towards the topside to secure rotom and escort, whereas going rotom first requires you to force onto the goals to score, after which you are usually forced to back or farm up more points. It just feels better to take the advantage of dred toward rotom 😄

Though that didn't make it any less frustrating when the person who stole jungle ended up making bad plays the entire match and basically being the worst jungler our team could've had.

[@SeanWashPhoto]

Feeding is a lot more complicated than people realize. Obviously, don't die as a general rule is good, but really knowing the values of when and when you SHOULD get KO'd is really essential to succeeding. This is really important if you're playing the Tank. Here are times when it's ok to die: You're the Tank and you're peeling for your Carry. You should sacrifice yourself for your carry, because 1> you're at a lower level and your point value given to the enemy isn't as impactful as your carry's value and 2> You will re-spawn sooner because you aren't as high a level and you're kill count isn't as high. 3> It's kinda the purpose of the tank, be a big bothersome low value target that enemy teams don't really want to fight, but have to. When you're in a fight and you can make a positive value trade. If you're the Tank and you can trade your life for 2 or more of their's it's worth it. MOBA Team fights really take the form of Phalanx, where the weakest point of the Phalanx can be end of your team. Don't be the weak link as the Tank because you're afraid of being KO'd. Addendum: These aren't hard rules, obviously there are various circumstances where these concepts won't apply, Like if you're a Crustle carry. But these general rules will help you overall if you're playing that Tank role.

[@guardiantree8879]

Distraction ko’s can also be worth it, if they’re busy chasing you down (especially if it’s more than one) that leaves more time for your team to take objectives or score

About hiding - lately I've been playing with some people in a team and in a few games, instead of all of us defending goals when we were ahead just before zapdos spawn, we would make sure we're on the healthy side, have our unites, and then hide in the bushes around zapdos, waiting for the enemy team to gather up and then dispose of them before going for zapdos.

My biggest issue is either not farming enough or farming too often. If I’m doing well I tend to let the game roll on without farming only to find myself under leveled late game or I’m doing poorly and spend too much time farming so I’m missing big team fights that aren’t objectives. Finding that balance is rough for sure.

The bush hiding period slays me

[@gamerkev30]

My favorite star wars character is Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is a Jedi according to the order's principles through and through; but even he's not perfect. He's such a boss in the clone wars series so that's why I like him so much.

[@rudrabasu8112]

Sometimes I stay in team fights too much. Yes, it helps in early game. But without any decent farm the levels get very low. This especially happens with Pikachu as his early team fight potential is enormous with his electroweb. Also pushing too early and not focusing on objectives like Rotom and Drednaw hinders the team more. Though the last problem changes from team to team. Some team play it methodical and others just want stomping and gets stomped instead.

[@MandeepSingh-uf4ek]

For mistake no 4 aka hiding in bush there is a correct way to do it. Go to zap at 2:07 mark and hide in the bush. Now if ur team comes and tries to get zap just go for it try to get it quick as possible pop ult if u wanna hurry up. But if enemy comes stay hidden. As soon as u think it's ready go for it and steal it. If u can't and zap has health left. Just tap on wild Pokemon button(u can enable from settings) and just try to get it. If u die after taking it np let ur team chuck in those points. I have done a lot of steals u can practice in standard if u don't wanna risk ur rank

[@xxenoqueenx6433]

It’s either you call your roll and your teammates don’t and they don’t listen to what you called or they do exactly what happened with the last example. I also had teammates call one lane and decide to go to the other lane when the game starts

[@totalitykyle2802]

I’d like to get better at bottom just cause sometimes it feels like you completely have to either sacrifice yourself like a punching bag feeding the other team, or you maneuver around leaving your partner to score

[@TheDemonSkullfire]

I play a lot of league and some of these mistakes are common from new players. Once u learn you should be good. Great vid!

[@OkZer0]

I only do mistake 4 but thats like if my whole team is dead and im just waiting in the bush to try and steal so idk if thats a bad play i think its a good one but other than that i haven't done any of the other mistakes

[@somnathmondal1627]

I often hiding in a Bush at near zapdose but today onwards I have to correct my mistake thank you to show this mistakes .

[@n.lkabilan5838]

I mostly do that scoring mistake @ 2mins which now I realise.Thanks Sparkles.

[@pero13258]

It has to be Anakin skywalker for me. Such a tragic story behind the character. He just wanted to save everybody but in the process destroyed everything, including himself

[@blazeblaz5618]

thank you for making this video, this helped me alot because im in a losing streak in master and i kept making these mistakes

[@glaceon3089]

cant agree more with not fighting over the jungle, i had one solo q match where 2 called it and 3 went to the jungle

[@alexlio5672]

This F is for you

[@eric23walsh]

the humilty used to illustrate the DO NOT FEED rule was really well done. ewoks are almost a cornier answer than HS. I gotta stop dunking at 2m...

[@joshdemarco4308]

You completely breezed over Pokémon choice. So often I get into a game where everyone is an attacker/ all arounder/ speedster. Those games I always lose. Also the games where someone chooses gardevoir and someone chooses garchomp and someone else chooses gengar. Bad Pokémon choice loses games.

[@awesomeperson5150]

Is Gengar still that bad? I understand your point though, my win rate with teammates using Gardevoir/Chomp is quite low

[@DivyeshVartha]

In the lower ranks it doesn't really matter if you're carrying the entire game, there don't need to be any defenders. But yeah, you should be looking to fill in the spots if no one else does

[@thelegend626leagueoflegend3]

Yep I'm making this mistakes starting zapdos early and hiding in bush now I know why I'm stuck in expert 3

[@stephenwhittlesey5254]

From the first video I’ve ever watched of the content cowboy, I knew without a doubt that his favorite Star Wars character would be Han Solo.

[@spragels]

He’s the best

[@Karpnado]

"And YOU are on your team" gdi that was too funny to me idk why

[@danieldelcano3594]

tip #2 i think scoring when its a close match or if ur slightly down right at the 2 min mark is beneficial. it’ll change the tide on who NEEDS zap and who’s just defending zap. as long as ur team follows tip number 1 :P

[@DesBischoff]

75% of all my loses is because the team starts Zapdos too soon or they splitt for no reason.... Insanely furiating. They need to nerf Zapdos or put in better communication to coordinate when to take Zapdos. Most games were winning all game but then they screw up Zapdos and we lose. Zapdos is almost always the only thing that matters in the game

[@joegarcia8938]

Better ways to communicate would be amazing!!

[@thomasr.6669]

I’d say the mistake I end up making at times is dying or using my Unite to try and survive right before Zap. This usually happens during team fights for objectives, but a team spamming CC and I’m dead considering I use GigaDance Venu.

[@Chris02607]

The biggest mistake that I made yesterday was when I koed the entire team with taloflame and try to kill zap while being low

[@spragels]

Yeah that is a tough one

[@JRR31]

U know what? Getting better at this game, I have to be critical of myself. And I am definitely a #1 culprit of going to sneak off right before zap to drop my 50, and plan to get back to center to finish zap. Some times it works, but now I'll be sticking with squad all the way

[@largepinkthing8667]

When I’m hiding it’s usually when most of my teammates are respawning so the best I can do it try to steal, unite, and go to score

[@doopness785]

The character select lobby should only allow one player to pick center. That would solve that last issue mostly.

[@sgpork]

That is not gonna do anything. You can call mid for example. Game start. Some people will still come to mid anyhow. Most people just play their own game and dont care About team. There is no team in this game unless you’re in 5 stack. Then after. They go afk or start to spam surrender. Sigh..

[@gamerdadcoco]

Solid tips Jake. Keep it coming!

[@spragels]

Thank you

[@xxenoqueenx6433]

The fact that all of this (especially the last one) happens in MASTER rank is crazy.

[@rikudouray]

1:55 absol started early coz he was afraid that you might loose the team fight because your lucario is trying to sneak a 50 during zap which is a no no. I'd rather fight zap rather than defend it in this situation. Also no one ult lmao. why? Cinder ult is early btw. and he aim it to greninja instead of zap. lmao. Feeding, man I'm glad you included it. There's this stereotypes players in lane who get all the creeps and exp. early just to feed themselves costing your lane partner to died as well and be under level for the first half of the fight which is really bad in recent update. I mean I have no problem if you get all the creeps early as long as you dunk most out of it. Mistake 5: Fighting over the jungle. Man this was the most important part lol. I had so many experience with this in duo solo que. I had a good jungler and he is very kind to let the other person go for jungle. What's worst base on our exp. The moment we gave up jungle. We loose coz most of the jungle in rando fail. Thanks for this vid. I hope more people watch this and learn from experience.

[@SilveeYT]

6:38; Jake's chance to be a [BIG SHOT]!

[@ijba0913]

I hide of hoping to steal zap where my team mates are coming to the pit one by one

[@ShinigamiNTW]

If you jungle with a character that is still a bit vulnerable after their first jungle rotation, please don't brazenly run into the enemy without an escape plan when you go to your first lane. You've now given them your jungle buffs and a good serving of exp to beat in your lane with. Also if you do end up getting killed at your first gank, please consider going back to the lane after your next jungle clear, odds are that enemy lane is making full use of the exp they just got.

[@aiyinsi8250]

after watching your Nuzlock series I learned my biggest mistake is maining the beast and slowbra

[@blacklab1113]

I know I take bad fights way too often, but I think that ends up happening because I let myself spiral when solo queuing and watching teammates ignore objectives EVERY GODDAMN GAME. I end up in a "carry harder" mindset after losing the first two dreads, and there's no way back.

[@atgosh]

Han is definitely my number two favourite Star Park character, but number one goes to R2D2 hands down. He has some of the best lines in the whole franchise! 'Beep boop, wooooop'− classic.

[@KyeGuard]

Focusing too much on Zapdos and too little on the enemy is the mistake i keep making. Lesson learned.

[@carvajalethandonovanl.4510]

I love the call out in this video with people ranting on social media thinking they're so good for their team just because they got the mvp when they lose. I get that sometimes they're right but other times they are the Lucario who's scoring while the whole team is at Zapdos

[@kiweping5]

The double jungling has gotten to a point where I just don’t even go jungle anymore because my wigglytuff tm thinks it’s a good idea for him to follow me around jungle

[@rong2939]

9:48 "star park" 😂😂

[@shadyshyguy4058]

To be clear, "not starting zaptos early" does not mean "not gathering to zapdos for whatever reason"

[@gerson7366]

Ahhhh the last part. Always gets me. Sometimes I wish I play right there beside them and smack the hell out of both. lol I honestly like playing support, seeing 25+ assist in your stat is quite gratifying.

[@JM_1989]

It's true about jungling. There were gameplays I had where there was a Zeraora chose top lane, then I would go to the central lane but would try to steal central in the beginning of the match.
