Pokemon UNITE - Can Players Use the Same Pokemon Banner

Players having the same Pokemon in a match is a feature of Pokemon UNITE. This page is about whether players can use the same Pokemon during battles, and the things players can do in this situation.

Can Players Use the Same Pokemon?

Not Allowed on the Same Team

Pokemon UNITE - Not Allowed in the Same Team

Players cannot use the same Pokemon if they are on the same team. However, players from opposite teams can have the same Pokemon.

Use Quick Chat

Pokemon UNITE - Quick Chat

Players should use the quick chat during the picking phase of a match to inform their team what Pokemon they want to use. They should also inform the team which lane they want to play in.

Lane Indicators

Pokemon UNITE - Lane Indicators

Although each Pokemon have a recommended lane, there are some Pokemon that can be played in a different lane. Aside from using quick chat, players can indicate which lane they prefer using the Map Path option in the battle prep menu.

There will be a checkmark on the player's portrait indicating that they are ready to play. However, players can still cancel their pick by pressing the B button should they decide to play as a different Pokemon. This is useful if players want to adjust their pick for a better team composition

Try Out Different Pokemon

Familiarize at Least One Pokemon for Each Role

Pokemon UNITE - Familiarize One of Each Role

As a rule of thumb, players should familiarize themselves with one Pokemon for each role to have a larger pool of Pokemon to choose from. Having at least one Pokemon of a specific role that players know how to use is a good way to get better at the game.

Use Practice Area

Play Standard Matches

Pokemon UNITE - Lobby

If players are hesitant in playing Ranked Matches with a Pokemon they are still familiarizing themselves with, playing Standard Matches is the best alternative. Players still get to experience playing with other people without the fear of getting demoted if they lose.

Match Types

Pokemon UNITE - Match Types

Players can choose the match type they want to play, each giving a unique experience for players to practice different Pokemon.
