Season Two of Pokemon Unite has seen its fair share of excitement so far. Already three weeks into the new season, players have been grinding the ranked ladder. For those struggling to rank up, it might come down to character selection. Not to worry, this list contains the top Pokemon Unite meta characters as of the end of November 2021. Consider playing the following characters to help see better results.
Lucario
Lucario has been extremely powerful ever since Pokemon Unite’s release. Even after recent nerfs, top players continue to use it. Lucario is a well-balanced pokemon and a great choice in any lane.
Its steadfast ability gives a shield for increased bulk at low hp and increased movement speed. On top of that, Lucario has great damage potential. Power Up Punch can easily take out squishy targets. At the same time, Extreme Speed has a cooldown reset which allows for spamming and high mobility.
Lucario can fly through the map with Extreme Speed and/or Bone Rush. This pokemon has escape options, good damage combos and reliable bulk. The versatility is endless.
Venusaur
The Pokemon Unite developers have tried their best to balance Venusaur, but to no avail. Once fully evolved, Venusaur is a menace. Since the Petal Dance buff, it has become a walking tank.
Petal Dance does insane area damage which makes it a great move for team fights and EXP farming. It also grants Venusaur a movement speed buff. This increased speed makes it easy to catch up to enemies or make an escape. Additionally, Petal Dance decreases the cooldown of its other move by 1 second for each enemy caught by the area effect.
Snorlax
Snorlax has always been one of the Pokemon Unite Meta Characters. It is such a tough target to kill and makes for a general annoyance. Snorlax is effective in all aspects of the game. During the early game, it has the best sustain due to Rest and the Gluttony ability which doubles the healing of berries.
Once Snorlax levels up, it gains all sorts of disruptive abilities. Heavy Slam deals fair damage and has a knock-up effect. Additionally, Snorlax can either push enemies back with Block or stun them with Yawn. All of Snorlax’s abilities are great. It is impossible to go wrong with this Pokemon in ranked once learned properly.
Eldegoss
This cuddly puffball may same weak, but it is actually one of the top Pokemon Unite Meta Characters. Eldegoss is currently the best Supporter in the game. It has good sustain, strong healing and decent damage.
Eldegoss evolves early on and gets access to its first new move at level four. Leaf Tornado offers strong damage but also increased movement speed for teammates. Meanwhile, Pollen Puff deals damage and heals teammates in its radius.
Afterward, Eldegoss can learn either Cotton Spore or Cotton Guard at level 6. Both moves offer the player strong sustain and healing for their teammates. Every Eldegoss move has its use. This character is the ultimate teammate enabler.
Zeraora
Zeraora is the most commonly used Speedster amongst top players. This character who anyone can get for free is capable of some of the highest burst damage in the game. Add in top-notch mobility and Zeraora has arguably the best carry potential among all Speedsters.
Discharge deals massive damage over an area, making it strong in group situations. It also gives Zeroara shields when an enemy is hit by it. Additionally, Zeroara has multiple dash moves which makes it easy to close the gap and pick off individual targets. Alternatively, they can be used as escape options. The destructive capability of Zeraora in 1v1 and group settings makes it one of the most versatile damage dealers in the game.
