Dream Eater Effect

Dream Eater In-Game.jpg

Puts opposing Pokemon to sleep when it hits. If used again while the opposing Pokemon is asleep, the user appears behind the sleeping Pokemon and attacks, restoring the user's HP and reducing the cooldown of Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Ball or Sludge Bomb. The user's next basic attack after this move becomes a boosted attack. If this move knocks out a Pokemon from the opposing team, its cooldown is reset.

How to Use Dream Eater

Initiate Fights

Pokemon UNITE - Gengar Ganking Lucario with Dream Eater

Dream Eater applies Sleep on its target, allowing you and your teammates to close in with ease. You can also activate this particular move a second time to teleport behind the sleeping target for massive damage. Doing this will reduce both Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb's cooldown, so it is best to start with that before bursting down an opponent.
