- Moveset: Surf and Hydro Pump
- Held Items: Slick Spoon, Energy Amplifier, and Focus Band
- Emblems: White x6 and Green x6
This Pokemon stands out with its robust HP and defensive capabilities, paired with ranged standard attacks that add to its versatility. Blastoise's toolkit includes powerful crowd control options like Surf and Hydro Pump, which not only inflict considerable damage but also disrupt opponents effectively. This disruption is crucial as it allows Blastoise’s teammates to capitalize on the chaos and launch their attacks.
For those favoring an aggressive approach, combining Water Spout with Rapid Spin transforms Blastoise into a formidable frontline presence, blurring the lines between All-Rounder and Defender roles. This combination allows deep penetration into enemy lines, disrupting their formation and control.
Additionally, delivering constant regular attacks is vital as each boosted attack slightly reduces skill cooldowns, facilitating more frequent use of abilities. Blastoise’s Unite Move is also a pivotal for crucial objectives of the game or clashes.
Each of these Pokemon brings something unique to the table, but when equipped with their respective broken builds, they become forces to be reckoned with.
Whether it's Blissey's unparalleled support, Dragapult's stealthy takedowns, Inteleon's precise strikes, Mimikyu's disruptive prowess, or Umbreon's balanced defense and offense, mastering these Pokemon and their builds can elevate your Unite gameplay to new heights.
As the meta continues to evolve, staying ahead of the curve with these powerhouse picks could be your ticket to dominating the competition.
