A '''jump pad''' is a [[:Category:Pokémon UNITE stages|stage]] element in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. Jump pads can launch {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} standing on them across sections of the stadium, allowing for quick travel. A {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}} pushes the board from underneath, giving it this effect. While jumping, Pokémon gain the {{UNITE|status condition|Unstoppable condition}}.

== Types ==
=== Regular jump pads ===
Four regular jump pads can be found in the central area of the stages [[Remoat Stadium]] and [[Theia Sky Ruins]] from the start of the match, and can be identified by {{p|Diglett}} underneath. When standing on one, a Pokémon will be automatically sprung across the wall separating friendly territory to the tall grass of neutral territory. This effect follows after a set amount of time and is not overridden by most {{UNITE|status condition}}s. Only one Pokémon can jump at a time.

=== Superjump springboards ===
At the midway point of a battle (5:00 in [[Remoat Stadium]] and [[Theia Sky Ruins]], 2:30 in [[Mer Stadium]]), enhanced jump pads called '''superjump springboards''', propelled by {{p|Dugtrio}}, appear right before each {{UNITE|base}}'s border. This jump pad variant does not propel automatically; instead, the player can choose to use the springboard and aim the trajectory up, down, or to the center, each short or medium-distance. The medium distance in Ranked/Casual Battle maps coincides with [[goal zone]]s: when a Pokémon lands via superjump, it knocks up all opponents standing in the landing radius (unless they are protected by a specific {{UNITE|shield}} while scoring). This specific mechanic prevents an enemy from scoring.

Prior to version 1.9.2.8, it was possible to see the opponents' springboard activate from a distance, which let players know when an opposing Pokémon might land on a goal zone. This was since removed, thus limiting vision.
