Pokmon Unite the hit new Pokmon spin-off game is out now on smartphones and Nintendo Switch consoles, having launched on iOS and Android a couple of months after its Switch debut.

This new MOBA title is unlike pretty much anything we've seen from the Pokmon franchise before, offering plenty for both old and new fans to enjoy.

We've rounded up everything you need to know about Pokmon Unite, including what it is, how to download it and which Pokmon are the best ones for your team.

Pokmon Unite is a new MOBA starring many of your favorite monsters from the main series games. If youre used to playing games like League of Legends or DOTA 2 youll be familiar with how MOBAs work; if not, heres a quick rundown
of Pokmon Unite.

Unite is a 5v5 multiplayer match thats all about battling. By defeating wild and opposing Pokmon you gain points that can be scored by dunking them into your opponents goal. Whichever team has scored the most points by the end of the match wins. (Image credit: Pokmon)

While this is a change from the traditional gameplay of the franchise, familiar moves and evolutions make a return (but in a slightly new way). For one, all those type matchups youve spent years memorising mean nothing Charizard is just as hurt by grass type moves as they are water.

Additionally evolution is not permanent, meaning every match youll have to level up you Gabite, Charmander and Fletchling to get them back to their strongest forms. How to download Pokmon Unite

Pokmon Unite is now available on iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch. To
download the game youll need an internet connection and access to the App Store, Google Play Store or Nintendo eShop respectively.

The download comes in at just under 1GB (928MB according to the games
official website). That isnt too much space at all, so you almost certainly have space for it on your device.

Its completely free to download too, so if youre interested in giving it a
try theres really no reason not to. How to unlock new Pokmon in Pokmon Unite

Much like other MOBAs, Pokmon Unite will have a weekly rotating pool of six free Pokmon you can play with in matches, but if you want to be the very best like no one ever was you might want to unlock some permanently so you learn all of their strategies.

When you start Pokmon Unite you can earn one Pokmon for free out of
Charizard, Pikachu, Eldergoss, Snorlax or Talonflame. After that youll have
to buy Pokmon using in-game currency or through free unlock challenges.

By levelling up you can unlock two new buddies. At level two you get Slowbro and at level five you get Venusaur. Beginners can take part in a series of daily quests to unlock Crustle (but only within your first 30 days of
starting the game).

If youre on mobile you can also take part in an event right now to play 32 battles and unlock Zeraora.

Finally, theres a 14-day Welcome gift event which rewards you for playing everyday for two weeks. If you get all the rewards youll also unlock Alolan Ninetails, Cinderace and Greninja. (Image credit: TechRadar) Pokmon Unite
tier lists

Pokmon Unite wont just give you every Pokmon for free as explained above, so before you spend your hard-earned credits you might want to know which Pokmon are worth it. Heres our breakdown of tier lists for each category

Attacker tier list Pikachu Cramorant Gardevoir Alolan Ninetales Cinderace Greninja Venusaur

Unsurprisingly, Pokmons mascot would appear at the top of its tier list. Its range lets you deal damage from afar and its variety of attacks make it perfect for crowd control. Cramorant is decent too, you just have to be accurate with your moves and know when to use them.

Venusaur and Greninja sit near the bottom due to their limited usefulness -Venusaur is great near the matchs start and Greninja by the end. Both come with some increased risk, but if you can coordinate with your team, you might have a winning strategy on your side.

Defender tier list Crustle Blastoise Snorlax Slowbro

Crustle, Blastoise, and Snorlax are all fairly decent picks that are hard to choose between. Crustle can slow attackers down, Blastoise can pack a punch back and Snorlax can heal up without having to retreat.

Slowbro, while still decent, ends up on the bottom by virtue of not being the other three, but its abilities are still good. If you arent interested in playing defender often this free mon is the only one you need.

Speedster tier list Gengar Zeraora Absol Talonflame

Gengar can take a little time to power up, but once it has Levitate, Dream Eater and Hex, your opponent is in for a fright. It truly puts the speed in speedster.

Zeraora and Absol are fairly good choices too with good offensive
capabilities that make them forces to be reckoned with, especially when they show up to aid an ally. (Image credit: TechRadar)

Supporter tier list Blissey Mr Mime Eldegoss Wigglytuff

Blissey and Mr Mime offer great support and can stick around for the long
haul thanks to their great endurance stats. Mr Mime can be tricky to master, and Blissey wont be able to fight back on its own, but as long as you stick with an ally you should be fine.

Eldegoss is very well-rounded and a great choice if youre only playing
support because no one else is. Youll be able to lend a hand in more ways
than one if you use its abilities correctly.

All-rounder tier list Machamp Lucario Garchomp Charizard

For All-rounders, Machamps powerful fists make it an ally youd rather have on your team than against you. Even at lower evolution stages its fairly strong and once its unite move unlocks youll be able to boosts its stats right up to make it an absolute tank.

Lucario is a close second, aided by the fact they dont need to evolve, but Garchomp and Charizard are lower because they can take a little longer to reach their full potential - limiting their early match usefulness. Check out our list of the best Pokmon games to play
