Pokemon UNITE - Ranked Season 10 Recap MVP.png

It comes as no surprise that Zacian is Season 10's MVP. The Pokemon shook the meta to its core from the moment it was released. It has virtually all mechanics in the game baked into its kit, from disables to buffs. It's notorious for making quick work of its opponents and single-handedly carrying its team every game. Despite getting nerfs, it's still more powerful than virtually all Pokemon in the roster, making it argubly the most broken Pokemon to ever be released!

Espeon takes the crown as Season 10's MIP! The Pokemon was overshadowed by the other Eeveelution for quite a long time.

As a result, it went from being an alternative, A-Tier pick to a solid S-Tier Pokemon. Morever, it has become one of the go-to picks for teams in the tournaments succeeding its buff.

Notable Meta Changes

Zacian and Comfey Duo

The Zacian and Comfey team comp is the most broken Pokemon duo ever. Although Zacian itself is terrifying enough, having Comfey attach to the Pokemon makes Zacian nearly invincible. However, it's only seen in non-competitive games and have yet to make their debut in tournaments.

Eeveelution Meta

Pokemon UNITE - Eeveelution Meta.png

Sp. Atk. Attackers have played a significant role in shifting the meta. But the Eeveelutions have been in the forefront among these Attackers, particularly Glaceon and Espeon. These two Pokemon have become the go-to picks for casual and competitive games with considerable pick rates and win rates. While fragile, their damage output can surely make up for it.
