The 8 BEST Tips On How To Become Master Rank In Pokémon Unite

[@proxyg4884]

My number one tip, is to always look at what you can control. As an ultra 4 player, i still find holes in my game that I can fix. I can easily blame an incompetent teamate, but sometimes I am that incompetent teamate. Great work as always.

[@adamupson6417]

This is the best advice. Even when a game just goes horribly you can always have an impact. I definitely try to do way too much sometimes especially in that all important final 2 minutes.

[@mikegg4500]

I finally hit Veteran after resigning myself to this concept. In Solo Q it's all about adaptability. I'm pretty much a decent jack of all trades player aside from support role

[@proxyg4884]

@@mikegg4500 ultra gets worse 😔 lost 5 ultra in a row to teammates auto attacking zapdos, only to be stolen every time.

[@mikegg4500]

@@proxyg4884 Sheeeeeeeesh. Yeah for some reason people i get on my teams love starting Zapdos when we're ahead only to get wiped and it being stolen. Also people ahead don't realize oh they got Zapdos soo we might as well all try to score as well while they're busy then send most back to defend while 2 try to farm close mons and get small scores in. Have won games by like 6 points doing this

[@mikegg4500]

Sadly this only works if your team is already ahead by a solid amount and even then you just barely win. Idk just gonna stay stronk and see how high I can get for the first season 😀

[@AshenDust_]

One mistake that I make a lot (because I suck), is trying too hard to retake a lane. If you are getting destroyed in lane by being underlevelled, farm some Pokémon and get some exp. Letting the enemy score for free isn’t great, but you aren’t helping at all by being stomped by the other team, so it’s worth it.

[@gamezillu7148]

I can related to this haha I make the same mistake as well lol getting better with leaving it alone for few and letting the enemy score for free. Once zoned in though I m stuck trying to take out 3 pokemon while my support is no where to be seen lol

[@blowc1612]

What people don’t understand is that it’s ok to let your opponent score. You have 10 minutes to win and your opponent doesn’t win instantly by scoring 50 pts. I don’t even try to score until the end unless I’ve cleared a lane I don’t score.

[@blowc1612]

@@THGMR-ox7sd no, you suck yourr obviously think scoring is a priority when it isn’t. You probably a low ranking player. There’s a reason why your enemies are over leveled because you’re prioritizing scoring. The game is simple, get as much exp as possible. The wild Pokémon is the set amount of exp you can get. You gotta gain a lvl advantage and snow ball it.

[@gamezillu7148]

@@blowc1612 Yup I agree with the lvl advantage...level up before the enemy. I lost multiple times before due to not leveling up enough or before the enemy

[@directorgoopy]

It also isn't necessarily a bad thing if you lose the first base of your lane since it gives you easy access to 2-3 Audinos and the occasional bee crowd closer to your side to farm exp. Just make sure to deny enemy team that access.

[@itriedvquick]

I'm honestly baffled by the amount of players who don't give a f*ck about going for drednaw, I usually just keep spying the enemy to see if I can steal their Drednaw since apparently my team always ignore it.

Salute!

[@pokeness686]

I admit that I used to be this way, since I didn't know Drednaw gave xp to your whole team. I thought it was literally just a small shield for the team, so I'd prioritize Rotom (though Rotom can even be stopped entirely sometimes, which I also learned)

I almost never played it but it is great second to my favorite smite.

[@PicoriElder]

The best tip for almost ANY game ranked is to TAKE BREAKS. Seriously, don’t play for hours on end and take a break ESPECIALLY if you are on a lose streak or are playing super tilted. If you are on a win streak sure keep on keeping on but seriously take breaks. The longer you play, the more burnt out you start getting, and the more mistakes you make. That goes double for playing agrivated

[@delighyt]

Thank you! I've been playing this game since morning to midnight and I'm stuck at veteran class 4. I notice I never take breaks, so this is helpful. Update: I was so close to class 5 but my friend kept wanting to do more battles so I couldnt get a break in between lol. Dropped down to class 4 with 2 diamonds. Still making great progress! Update 2: Currently ultra class 1! I'm gonna take a break from ranked matches, as I always do. Its gonna be a long break, I'm currently trying to get Blissey with standard matches!

[@steve1333]

Yessss. Every time i have a lose streak i get so frustrated so i just step away for a few hours and come back to it and go on a winning streak. Always good to cleanse and clear the mind lol

[@charlesphelps9804]

True. Nothing worse than feeling like you’re losing progress in the rankings after a long gaming session. I get desperate for a win at any cost, and I end up playing worse. But somehow I think it’s my team’s fault. Haha.

Nah friend I live for the bot stomps when I’m loss streak, mellows me out even if I find it condescending.

[@joshuaarnold7886]

Yeah I was Veteran 5 and me and my friend started playing and out of like 7 games we won 1, maybe 2 and I dropped back to Veteran 3. So we both decided to take a break and grab a bite to eat. Now I’m smoking to get my mind right then we gonna give it another go. Breaks are DEFINITELY needed!

[@ToonfieldAnimations]

My biggest problem with the "filling the role" tip, is that when i usually do not pick an attacker and go with defender, it ends up being someone who really doesn't know how to play it, 90 percent of the time. At the point I get stuck with someone who feeds and just goes bot the moment he feels like it. It's not even funny anymore the amount of times that happens.

[@ANGST.ARGENTINA]

Play critsle or eldegod and be the attacker regardless. Also all-rounders exist. PICK THEM BOIIIIIS

I find a lot of these tipps really basic... A good tipp would be to not try to take the second bottom goal of the enemy after you won Drednaw. All enemies will be back super quick and jump on you one after another. This never goes well. After drednaw just clear the enemy jungle and go top to rotom.

I remember i clutched a very badly losing ranked match by stealing zapdos as gengar, i was the only one on my team at zapdos because was on spawn timer, that great feeling when me and my whole team got 50 points each and successfully won was legendary. It just proves how important zapdos is!

[@PaddyRoon7]

Tip that improved my lower rank WRs a lot: Don't pick for team comp. If you're a Cinderace main and the rest of your team picks 4 attackers, don't switch. Your comp sucks regardless and you need to carry, so swapping to a defender is usually a bad idea. Also, if you're getting stomped in every fight, just afk farm to get your level a high as possible (really ideally 15) to make a comeback at rayquaza. The jump in stats only gets larger with each level, with the difference between 14 + 15 being massive compared to the difference between 1+2. Being higher level for rayquaza is a massive factor in making comebacks

[@SuperDS6424]

On 8, you slam Zapdos after winning the fight so they don't retake it with 30 secs and make a mad dash for your towers. Would extend this to Rotom if you're winning top lane first so enemy team is busy while you rotate to bot lane + exp boost.

Ever since Wigglytuff got buffed, I’ve been winning so many times and I’m dying less often, I like playing the characters that mess with people like adding status effects and stuff, honestly I actually find Expert way easier than Beginner and Great because my teammates are actually pretty decent when it comes to skill, I’m slowly getting myself to veteran and I’m getting more invested since games are getting pretty close when it comes to score…….well there was this one time my team managed to get over 1100 points, which ain’t insane but still amazing, we just got really really lucky that round since we managed to snag Zapdos before the opposing team could steal our kill

Having to play roles you're not comfortable with (or worse don't have the held items for) is kin of a bummer, especially when you see the guy that took cinderace or greninja and they play like trash, knowing you play better than them but you can't impact as much if per say you're support or defender and the carry doesn't want to follow or teamfight. Knowing that it's not unusual to see only all rounder, attackers and speedster team.

[@aus10mar10]

When someone takes Snorlax and we get into team fights and I see how awful they are after spamming I'll take the Defender role at the select screen trying to get them to switch off Snorlax. Thank God Cinderace is my backup main but fuck, just give me my damn Snorlax. That's what I get for playing solo though lol getting a five stack going or whatever just sounds like easy mode though which isn't very fun.

[@MrOrzeker]

@@aus10mar10 so true, 5 man must be so easy to reach master even if people are just half decent. Playing solo is heartbreaking, the worse thing is when you manage to pick a role, lets say cinderace and you see someone else trying to pick greninja afterward which fills the same role ( true aswell with ninetales and most special attackers).

[@randz07b.70]

Agree that most of these are basic tips and should be common sense.. some of the better tips are: don’t kill drednaw when zapdos is about to spawn cause it reduces your teams damage to zapdos; the grass is your friend - you can use it to ambush the enemies or hide in when you want to score a goal but see some of the enemies lurking or about to spawn (for the middle goals); also, study the skills of the pokemons as they normally would have combi skills to be more effective like for example with gengar, you need to choose the combi of sludge bomb and hex in order to trigger the passive which brings me to another tip which is to maximize the use of your passive skills which is one thing most players would forget.. lastly, one tip that can be arguable (specially for solo gamers) is when your are paired up in a lane with a very incompetent player, i suggest that you switch to another lane cause it won’t do you or the team any good if the both of you keeps on dying and not able to farm.. just go back to that lane and help when you’ve leveled up and gotten stronger.. hope this helps..

[@Riryz]

Agree on most of them but not completely on the Zapdos one. Sure, dont take Zapdos in front of the entire enemy team. Thats a given. But if you win the teamfight at 1:50 you should probably do Zapdos if you can do it safely because otherwise you will have to have another teamfight which might result in a loss anyways. If the enemy respawns at 1:10 to 1:20 they can still make their way to Zapdos, win a teamfight and take Zapdos and dunk 300ish points. It takes maybe 15 seconds or less to charge towards the enemy goals from the Zapdos pit.

it is funny hearing tip number 8 since its true tho, I was playing couple games and winning but always when I look at the mini map- it is always one person try to take Zapdos instead of trying to check from a bush if the enemy going for it, which breaks a fight making the other players go after the player dies from the enemy and they die behind him at the end of the game and it end up losing a whole lead game because of that.

[@knight5967]

I am a really new player and I got vetern in a few weeks I don't play games like that but still I made it and it feels good keeping up. My grimd

[@gamingbeastlol]

The tactic I use with my friends. We always go: Talonflame, Zeraora, Lucario, Greninja, Charizard. We go Zeraora and Charizard on top and the rest on bottom. We get the dreadnaw, they get rotom, we get a goal zone and then 1 goes up while two stay down and then they get a goalpost. The one stays in middle and 2 on each. During zapdos 4 of us go get zapdos and a 4 people unite move combo while one gets a goal zone, then everyone goes mid and 2 each side 1 center strat. This gives pretty good teamwork 90% win rate and it doesnt have to be our pokemon any is fine depending on the playstyle. We go offensive, for defensive games we use Slowbro, Ninetales, Blastoise, Eldegoss and Zeraora or for all rounded games we just mix. It's not exactly a tactic but it's an easy way to win

Recently just made ultra. The main issue I have with other people jungling? Large majority of the time they do it badly. People taking bottom and top lanes I can trust them to do the bare minimum. But I've noticed jungling requires alot of technical knowledge that many junglers do not demonstrate. As a laner I tend to play umbreon. Thats pretty great and can in fact delay 2 same levels solo long enough for back up to come. And as is often the case, the jungler isn't ganking when you can plainly see a push or a break through Learning from those negative examples. I have indeed found. I can do it better than most people. And all it took was a quick look at the rotations and just following a diagram. Its not hard but people struggle. And I don't get why.

[@gregorymiller7083]

The only issue I find is that since I've learned how important Dreadnaw is, I always abandon whatever I'm doing to go down and fight him but if I pick a character that cannot solo Dreadnaw and literally no one else on my team decides they want to come help, I either just end up dying or losing the objective I was at before I went to go fight Dreadnaw. Its a good tip, but you have to also choose a character that can take matters into their own hands.

[@spragels]

I can see the problem you are having for sure.

[@Orame67]

Every battle I have 6 medals because of this vid thx your a legend dude!

[@TonyOnYourTV]

One thing that sucks in a team game is when you play solo and people push too hard forward so you either have to push and all die or leave them and they die faster then you get ganked by everyone else running down the lane Any advice for this ?

[@Kwansu_Dude]

I been watching your videos and they have helped me out a lot. Thanks for making these because they've been super helpful.

[@ninaveronica7771]

Actually you can count the first one as a tip considering going on solo queue is an absolute hell.

[@qnxiety8357]

played a game with you earlier as cramorant, was a little suprised to see you there considering I was in a party with my friend (absol) who is in expert and I'm only veteran, so playing with and against masters was a little suprising

[@spragels]

I’m guessing people get sorted like that when I’m in solo queue and so is another player of similar rank and they just put one on each team. Not sure.

[@jonjsmithmusic]

What is the thing on the right showing the other team’s members when you’re playing as Ninetails?

[@charlesphelps9804]

I usually end up filling for support which means I’m playing Eldegoss bottom lane. Which means often nobody cares that I’m pinging for dreadnaw. Do you think it’s better to play an attacker on top lane, e.g. Cinderace, and forgo a support character? At least then I can move to bottom to take out dreadnaw with the other bottom laners. Or is having that support character more important? I’m barely scraping 50% because it takes forever to gain a class level.

[@sharktos3218]

Same. Eldegoss bottom all the way, which means I am usually alone with 4 people losing the top lane (somehow)

[@rakaradityaaa]

That "No attackers? That's probably not gonna happen" really got me LOL

[@DC-cp1op]

Thank you soo much for your video. I got to Masters today and your info really helped me out. Ty

[@rohitgajula7495]

I started the game week ago now I'm ultra 3 all coz of your tips mate thanks ❤️ love from India ❤️

[@58-vigneshr55]

I'm a moba player n I can sense while playing pokemon unite that most players won't take lane changes srsly n also ignore objective like zapdos n totem which very crucial n can turn the game tides n I just hope that every new players should know n learn the game mechanics n how it works

[@pokeness686]

What really bothers me is when one or two allies are trying to take Zapdos by themselves, and of course its hp is dropping very slowly, then someone on the enemy team dives onto you while you're alone, making your way over. And your allies keep hitting Zapdos, completely unaware. Then the rest of the enemy team shows up and kills them. This happens a lot with Rotom in the top lane; I'll be getting 1v2'd or poked down to low hp while my lane partner is trying to take Rotom solo right above me as I die, and they're completely oblivious. I'm not even good with map awareness in Mobas, but it's not THAT hard in a game like this where the map is already tiny.

[@siinatro9047]

I’m in ultra 2 (solo only) currently making my way up to masters. I couldn’t agree more about taking top lane, if I’m bottom the top never comes down for Dreadnaw. I wish you could see win rate divided on which lane you called out, I’m sure top would be my highest

[@Doug_MacArthur]

I'm in the same position as you rank wise unless you've gained a few sub ranks or even achieved master since the time you posted this comment. If you still have yet to get to masters though I wish you the best luck and also I can definitely sympathize with your frustration at the lack of team dynamics and coordination as a solo player myself thus far.

[@aidenwalsh4320]

Just installed a little over two weeks ago & The Untra grind is real. Thanks for the tips :]

[@ejazjindran]

7:10 lucario looking too much funny 😂😂

[@marc-andrebenoit5776]

I used Venusaur so far. 90%win/lost rank at beginer (started playing 2weeks ago).. I quite like him!

[@Gshadewolf14]

Favorite Pokémon Unite KZbinr right here 👍 All the best tips and advise! Very fun videos to watch too

[@martindean2636]

I'm struggling to get past great, I'm currently trying on class 3. I play the game exactly how Jake plays but I get silly players who's not a team player and that what causes our team to lose

[@sebastiencote1565]

Awesome video! Really exciting. Thanks a lot!

[@JaceGarrdok]

any tips on winning games where your team locks in 4 attackers with no cc?

[@spragels]

Some games are going to be really tough to win ha ha. All I ever think is that I’d like to support my team as best as possible.

[@alexline4131]

Pray! More useful; try no to lock in right away. The timer speeds up if everyone has locked in. I like to 'camp' on my first choice, but if I see everyone else locking in without a defender I switch. A word of warning, watch the time! Once I got 'stuck' half way to Wigglytuff and the game started me on Cinderace, who we didn't need and I've never played!

[@Driekiann]

I would say pick Snorlax, Slopoke or something that can hard assist and support the better(s) one(s). Not a garanted but just do what's the best with your current situation. The goal to climb in rank is not to always win, it's to lower your chances of losing as much as you are able to.

[@anormalguy8407]

Yeah what Spragels said, all you can do in a team based game is doing whatever will give you a higher winrate, so no sneaky sneaky goaling to make yourself look better when you should be helping at dreadnaw, ect :)

[@JaceGarrdok]

@@anormalguy8407 cute of you to think these type of players know the existence of Dreadnaw. and this is Veteran Class btw.. I really just should take the freebie and grab myself a pre finally..

[@Malaphor2501]

I will heartily agree with needing Cinderace. Was watching a few different streams last night, and every game Cinderace was in they just cleaned house.

[@jeanvictorhajjar]

Ya, I always see Cinderace Greninja or Lucario absolutely stomping games. I'm hard stuck in Expert rank though

[@jpegcrust]

ahhh man i think i’m pretty patient with my teammates solo queueing but i really dislike when both the attackers are dead set on being in the same lane… there is no way to tell them to PLEASE play with a support or at least an attack support because of just how advantageous it is. rant over sorry this just happened to me and i dropped from just getting veteran

[@JP_...__.__.._]

As an cinderace player who is pretty much a pro at using him, this video does put a smile on my face. Question tho i go jungle at the start and get to level 5 pretty much instantly and then instantly go to bot Lane since there is always 1-2 people at top lane, is this good cause this works out well for me 100% of the time

[@ArcViper]

I'm not sure what happened for me. I started playing ranked and was cruising through Beginner and Great easy. I don't play MOBAs so I don't expect to make it to Master, but whatever. A day after moving into Expert I start playing ranked again. Almost every match nobody wants to go for Drednaw, I try to herd people there like cats and it rarely works. My Lucario is busy brawling at the outer goal for no reason and probably dying. Now I'm stuck squirting water at Drednaw as Slowbro and the enemy team comes in and mops up. It's all downhill from there. Each match in Expert has seemed like the other team at least kind of knows what they're doing, while mine is wandering around with no focus or getting afks. I was expecting a gradual increase in difficulty as I climbed, but instead I just hit a brick wall. Maybe it was just a string of bad luck with teammates. Pretty discouraging though.

[@bradthomas7933]

Quick Tip: make sure you have your Unite Move for Zapdos

[@DarthNepster]

This is a big one. Needed for the Zapdos team fight. Especially if you have buddy barrier.

[@sharktos3218]

What is a good strategy to get out of the lower ranks? I'm so low that my teammates completely ignore objectives or go 4 top and leave me (Eldegoose) go bottom alone. I don't say I play perfectly, but it's so frustrating to get teammates that are so damn incompetent

[@cookirox]

Carry jungle

[@DarthNepster]

Jungle your way out of lower ranks.

[@sharktos3218]

I mean, if nobody instalocks Zeraora, i can try...

[@cookirox]

@@sharktos3218 go cinderace or greninja let him have the first jungle the when he picks a lane to stay in rotate and farm the jungle you’ll end up being able to carry your team in the late game.

[@50sand]

The go down bot as toplaner hurts. I usually end up play Lax since every1 goes carry. I go down, ping the drednaw, make or try to make a play aaaand.. team just won’t go objective 😂

[@itsmebenkenobi741]

Your tutorials really helps me alot compare to other tutorials I watched

[@leachy_]

How much damage are you looking to get per match if you are playing attacker.

[@ayush69op]

Is Snorlax good?

[@SlashBurner]

Hey Jake its been a year and I think you can just voice over a few of the parts on drednaw and zapdos to update it to the skyrunes map and the tips still work well.

[@mannybar88]

Do buddy barriers stack.. like if everyone has it does it give you 5x buddy barrier??

[@Crusader050]

I found myself saying yeehaw out loud at the same time as you do in your videos, and it was very satisfying to do so.

[@rikenroll]

Great content, great tips, and you're funny as heck, dude. Keep it up!

[@peregrine9745]

The one thing I can't manage to do is go top lane. I've played Eldegoss since I started and she "belongs" in bot. I want to keep ranking with her, although everyone giving advice says go attacker to climb = /

[@Virus-rd4dq]

keep playing eldegoss. This advice ( playing attackers ) is good only if you know what you doing. Most carries in this game suck so hard.

[@peregrine9745]

@@Virus-rd4dq Yeah, it's more I'm considering practicing another mon to use. Every game I play with nobody rotating down (3/5 today) makes me want to swap more. Darn shame too, since support is what I'm best at. I did try going top with Elde, but then I'm trying to last-hit against a Snorlax. It isn't fun.

[@Virus-rd4dq]

@@peregrine9745 We can play together if you want. I play attackers and snorlax if we need a defender.

[@LeonahMagalona]

I'm learning a lot! Thanks!
