How to Use Plasma Gale

Combo with Volt Switch or Spark

Late Game Plasma Gale

After learning your Unite Move, Zeraora gains a massive burst that can switch the fight to your favor. Plasma Gale deals a high amount of damage in a small area in front of you. It will be hard to use alone but comboing it with Volt Switch or Spark can allow you to easily position yourself in a way that you'll be able to hit multiple enemies with it.

Target Grouped Enemies

Pokemon UNITE - Zeraora Activating Plasma Gale to Hit Multiple Opponents

Plasma Gale has a wide area-of-effect, meaning it can hit multiple targets if they are near the explosion. Though the move is great for single targets, the extra area damage means that it can be set off at grouped enemies to get the most out of the damage. It also stuns enemies who are within the radius.

Attack While Inside the Electric Zone

Pokemon UNITE - Attack Inside the Electric Zone

When Plasma Gale hits its target, it leaves a circular electric zone at the target's position. Staying inside this zone increases your basic attack range and damage. You should take advantage of this effect and attack enemies who are inside the zone.
