Just like any other MOBA game, teamwork makes the dream work in Pokémon Unite. To make the team work, all trainers must play a critical role in a team, like pieces that fit together to form a puzzle, to efficiently secure points, take objectives, and of course win the game.

Each trainer has their own playstyle, and with Pokémon Unite’s diverse pool of roles, there’s surely one that fits what you do best, so here’s a handy-dandy guide for you to know them all.

ATTACKER

Attackers are the heaviest of hitters in Pokémon Unite. Not only do their attacks deal tremendous damage, but also are their abilities. Attackers are commonly tasked not just with defeating the enemy team’s Pokémon but to also quickly deal with wild Pokémon in the map, gathering points as they go and taking down crucial targets in a teamfight with ease. To be an attacker does not only mean being aggressive but also being strategic, minding your positioning, and skill cooldowns to effectively deal damage and win the fight for your team.

DEFENDER

Defenders are the frontliners of each team. While their attacks don’t deal much damage, they are built to be durable, not just for team fights but also for defending your team’s goal areas. Trainers who choose to become defenders must prepare to soak up as much damage as they can, while at the same time disrupt enemy positioning with their Area of Effect abilities. Defenders might not earn a lot when it comes to points, but a great defender can quickly turn the tides of battle.

SUPPORTERS

At the core of each Pokémon Unite team is the Supporter. They provide heals, give out buffs, and even help control enemy Pokémon with their abilities. Supporters never leave their allies alone. Just like Attackers, positioning is a huge key to a successful Supporter, and as well as timing their ability cooldowns to efficiently help allies during fights.

ALL-ROUNDERS

When it comes to a fight, nothing beats a good All-Rounder. A well-balanced Pokémon Unite role, All-Rounders are built to be durable enough to survive fights, and deal sustain damage to help their attackers. As the name suggests, an all-rounder playstyle can switch between dealing damage or soaking up damage depending on what your team needs.Compared to the other roles in Pokémon Unite, All-Rounders might take longer to master, but once you do, then you become a force to be reckoned with in the arena.
