Pokemon Unite: Top tips for new gamers on how to keep winning

After months of waiting, gamers were finally able to play Pokemon Unite on their Nintendo Switch consoles last week. Unlike most of the other Pokemon games, the newly released Pokemon Unite game falls in the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre, similar to games like Arena of Valor, League of Legends and Dota 2. It is widely acknowledged that the key to winning MOBA games is using the right strategy, something that can be gained with practice.

If you’re looking for the right strategy to pick while playing Pokemon Unite, or just want to get better in the game, there are a few tricks you can use to keep yourself ahead of the competition. Just like other multiplayer games, keeping a few pointers in mind can come in very handy when facing tough opponents or making optimum use of your resources in the game.

Here are some of the ways to up your game and win more matches in the newly released Pokemon Unite.

Make sure you stay alive: Pokemon Unite games last for only 10 minutes, so dying in the game can prove to be very costly, especially when you want to try and get a few extra points over your opponents. Even if you are out of the game for a quarter of a minute, that is valuable time for the enemy to make the best out of your absence. This means you should make sure that you are always attacking in a manner that does not risk you getting shut out and losing precious time.

Always watch your surroundings: Just like Dota 2, keeping an eye on the mini-map in the game can come in very handy if you want to make the right decisions while playing Pokemon Unite. You still won’t be able to see enemies unless they’re directly within range of your team’s areas, but monitoring the opponent’s movements can help you make the right decisions. The minimap is also capable of showing you wild Pokemon as well, so you can take appropriate steps to protect yourself in the game.

Stick with your team during the match: While playing MOBA games, its easy to get carried away in the action and attempt to go after a weaker opponent that is running away. However, as many gamers have experienced in the past, a weaker opponent that can outrun you will only lead to you losing, as they can quickly reach their team and turn around to attack you. It is best to stick to your team and stay alive to get even more points before the 10 minute timer is up.
