Blissey is widely regarded as the premier Support Pokémon in *Pokémon Unite*. Its ease of use makes it ideal for new players, and its Soft-Boiled ability allows for quick party HP restoration. Blissey also boosts allies' attack speed and movement, proving that even as a healer, it's far from a glass cannon. While the cooldown for Helping Hand has increased from 8 to 9 seconds, Blissey remains a top choice for any match.
Darkrai

Darkrai is one of the best Speedsters in *Pokémon Unite*, boasting high speed for swift battlefield maneuvers. Though fragile, its potent attack abilities can swiftly take down foes. Darkrai's Hypnosis ability can also put opponents to sleep temporarily. To use Darkrai effectively, constant movement and avoiding prolonged engagements are key.
Galarian Rapidash

Another Speedster to consider is Galarian Rapidash. Like Darkrai, it has lower health but focuses on burst damage and self-sustain. Its Pastel Veil ability grants immunity to hindrances, making it a good alternative for those struggling with Darkrai.
Mimikyu

Mimikyu is an All-Rounder with a balanced mix of offense and defense. Its Disguise passive ability allows it to negate the first instance of damage and then transition into Busted Form, marking the attacker for revenge. Mastering Disguise is crucial for maximizing counterattacks, making Mimikyu a formidable opponent.
Miraidon

Miraidon stands out as one of the top Attacker units. Its Hadron Engine passive creates an Electric Terrain that boosts its move damage by 30% and allies' by 10%. This terrain also enhances ally goals' healing and shielding while reducing enemy goals' by 30%. Though challenging to master, Miraidon's powerful abilities make it a top pick.
Umbreon

For those looking to play a Defender, Umbreon is an excellent choice. With high defensive stats, it can shield allies and maintain high survivability. Its passive ability prevents being shoved or immobilized, while Mean Look creates a zone that traps enemies and slows them down.
Tinkaton
