Tips for Playing Legacy Trainer Showdown

Battle With Friends

Pokemon UNITE - Legacy Trainer Showdown Invite Friend.png

For a better chance of winning the challenges, it is best to team up with your Friends or Squad. Not only will this make the challenge easier, but it will also make progress the mission faster!

Friend Request Board

Use Score-Stacking Items

Pokemon UNITE - Legacy Trainer Showdown Score Stacking.png

For higher difficulties, it is best to run equip score-stacking Held Items like Attack Weight and Sp. Atk. Specs to get ahead in stats. Since the enemy AI is not aware of this mechanic, you will have an easier time reaching the full stacks, even during the early game!

Surrenders When Lead in Points is High

Pokemon UNITE - Legacy Trainer Showdown Surrender.png

When the match time reaches the 5-minute (5:00) mark, the opposing team will automatically surrender if your team is leading by 300+ points. However, if the number is not met at that time, the opposing team will surrender when the lead reaches 500+ points.
