Pokémon UNITE: Difference between revisions

Each team has a [[Base (UNITE)|base]], where each member of the team starts a Unite Battle from and reappears at after being [[Faint|knocked out]]. One action that players can perform is Returning, also known as To Base. After a certain amount of time is spent standing in place, the Pokémon will be warped to its team's base. However, moving or taking damage will cancel the charge. On certain stages, To Base is not usable.

Participating in Unite Battles will earn the player Battle Points, [[Aeos Coins|Aeos coins]], and (after reaching [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] Level 6) Aeos energy. By spending coins, energy, and other currencies, the player can [[Unite License|unlock Pokemon]] and customization options.

The player takes on the role of a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] who’s come to Aeos Island to take part in these battles.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/2021/new-information-revealed-for-pokemon-unite/ Pokémon UNITE press release]</ref>

The playable Pokémon are split into five different [[Role (UNITE)|roles]] (sometimes referred to as Battle Types):

Special wild Pokémon will give the Pokémon that knocked them out buffs. These buffs include reducing the cooldown time of [[move]]s, increased damage against wild Pokémon with low HP, and decreasing the movement speed of enemies hit by the buffed Pokémon. These Pokémon are more durable than normal wild Pokémon, and have one or more [[move]]s they can use to defend themselves. The range of the move is indicated by a red shape on the ground as the move is being charged. Even stronger wild Pokémon are "objective" Pokémon. When defeated, they provide a benefit to the team that dealt the last hit in some manner. Some of them will assist the Pokémon that knocked them out by lowering the opposing team's [[goal zone|goal]]'s defenses, while others provide [[Shield (UNITE)| shields]] to all members of the team or boost the stats of all members of the team. (However, effects that apply to all team members exclude members that are currently [[faint|knocked out]].)  

Players may also obtain Battle Points for the Pokémon they were playing as, with the player being able to obtain three different [[Battle Ribbon (UNITE)|Battle Ribbons]] for each Pokémon when reaching certain Battle Point milestones, a green ribbon for 30,000 points, a blue ribbon for 85,000, and a gold ribbon for 165,000. The total amount of Battle Points from each Pokémon put together are referred to as Trainer points, which will increase the player's Trainer level when reaching certain amounts of Trainer points, with the maximum Trainer level being level 50. The rewards recieved for reaching different Trainer levels are shown in the table below.

The [[Prize Machine (UNITE)|Prize Machine]] is a menu which serves as an alternative way of obtaining Holowear, Boost Emblems, Unite Snapshot features and clothing. Every day, six prizes are made available. Players can throw Unite Balls at one of the items on display, which fills the prize gauge for that item by a varying amount. By filling the prize gauge of an item, the item is obtained. However, different items can have larger or smaller prize gauges, depending on their type. A single Unite Ball has a 66% chance to add 1 unit to the prize gauge, a 30% chance to add 2 units to the prize gauge, a 3.3% chance to add 3 units, a 0.6% chance to add 5 units, and a 0.1% chance to add 10 units. Players can hold a maximum of 2 Unite Balls in this mode. After being used, the Unite Ball goes on cooldown for 12 hours, during which it cannot be used. Aeos gems can be spent to skip the cooldown, and the cost of doing so gets shorter as the remaining cooldown time decreases. When the day rolls over and a new set of prizes are displayed, all prize gauges are reset.
