Submission Effect

Submission In-Game.jpg

Increases the user's movement speed and makes it immune to hindrances. When the user's next basic attack hits, the attack deals increased damage and slams the opposing Pokemon onto the ground, leaving it unable to act. Once this move ends, the user's critical-hit rate and basic attack speed are increased for a short time.

How to Use Submission

Displace Opponent's Position

Pokemon UNITE - Machamp Displacing Greninja with Submission

Submission is a move that roots the target in place. Use it to put opponents in a disadvantageous position so you and your allies can finish them off. It is best used in sync with Machamp's Cross Chop and then follow it up with your Standard Attack.

Get out of Danger

Pokemon UNITE - Machamp Retreating with Submission

Activating Submission does not require you to use it on an enemy. You can use the move defensively by taking advantage of the increased movement speed to reposition Machamp or disengage from a losing fight.

Do not Use on Objectives

Pokemon UNITE - Machamp Cant Use Submission on Drednaw

Using Submisssion on a Boss Pokemon will immediately cancel the move and will not damage the target. It is best to save it for other Wild Pokemon or opponents.
