If there is any Pokémon that to know exactly how 7 attack speed emblems (+ Muscle Band [MB]) effect it, it's Cinderace. At level 15 you get a 14.3% DPS boost (excluding possible crits*), without even having to risk blaze kicking in (it's like having half of Blaze Kick+'s attack speed effects all the time), for a DPS'er like Cinder, that's actually a lot, and after testing, we get around 20%-30% less Time to Faint (TTF) on a lvl 15 test Lucario with his passive (7.5 to 7 seconds TTF with only MB @ lvl 15 vs 5 to 5.5 sec TTF with MB + 7 red @ lvl 15). Additionally, at level 15 (yes level 15 before Zap becomes even more important with this build) it is now possible to unlock Cinder's lowest frame attack time (16 frames) without a Blissey HH (could be useful in SoloQ), and with that you only need 3 red emblems + MB, X-attack, Blaze Kick+, and your unite move buff. Pulling off this combo, with just MB you can only reach 20 frame attack times, when compared to the 16 frame attack times of same combo but on 3 or 7 red + MB Cinder, you end up with a *20% DPS boost excluding possible crits!* I haven't tested TTF with this combo, but based on the above results, I hypothesize a 27% to 40% reduction in Time to Faint (TTF) for the duration of Blaze Kick+'s attack speed boost (3-4 seconds), which when it runs out first, you lose the 16f attack speed. *(which have more chances to activate sooner with faster attack speeds!) Since attack speed, is a very complex and weird topic, maybe for video idea, you could discuss the niche benefits it gives to specific characters at specific power spikes (like the large hidden benefits it gives to people that can reach level 15 Cinder)?

There was a Google Sheets table recently released on attack speed that could help with visualization as well.

Ofc there is a cap for each character, where that cap is can tell you the maximum effectiveness attack speed can have on that characters DPS, as you know CInder's has the lowest cap at 16 frame attack times, which lies right before the steep part of the curve (which, if obtainable, would quickly cause insanity levels of DPS boosts).

It’s nice to be able to have so many varying builds in the game so you can customize your Pokémon to your play styles. I just wish Pokémon Unite would let me play more than 3 Pokémon specifically how I want to. Or even just let me assign a dang page to a Mon.
Going on the theory of White being generally better than Blue and Purple, you can make a Black Green build splashing 2 White. 4 Black Green - Victreebel, Vileplume, Beedrill, Venomoth 1 Green White - Butterfree 1 Green - Whatever you like, I prefer Venonat for the HP boost 3 Black - Whatever you like, I prefer Grimer, Muk, and something else for the HP boost 1 White - Whatever you like, I like Pidgey for the HP boost So you end up with 7 Black, 6 Green, and 2 White.

Balance wise I pity the balance team but gameplay wise this made the game more interesting for me as now I can further min max my choice of stats for a specific mon. Before emblems I didn't have a reason to play the game anymore after hitting 1800 but now the thought of experimenting different emblem synergies to different pokemons just made the game more enjoyable for me to theorycraft and play
Because there's only 3 slots you can have, I made each have Attack, Special Attack and Defense/Special Defense/HP respectively. It works for most of the pokemon.
i liked that you mentioned the crit set is not good for Azumarill. It's easy to see why it isnt, but some people could confuse the %crit chance with the %crit damage thinking that "well, yes, scope lens is being used for Azu, so why not crit emblems too"
Thank you!, It’s always good to hear valueable information for gameplay. Unlike online players, “aekaco”, who complain in game thinking they play best. Despite their continue dislike for our team - we win zapdos and keep 5 goals intact. What a troll
for those who have problem in understanding emblems here's a great tip just don't use copy medals or two medals in same layout like if u are using 2 emblems of same pokemon just switch one of them with different pokemon to enhance emblems so this way u can have 7 black 6 green and others of ur choice btw great video Jake Thanks for this informative video 💪👍

Hi Spragels, I think you didn't talk about a pretty solid build in my opinion. It's a 6 Brown/ 4 white build, with also critical hit rate. it's not that much critical hit (just 3-5% depending on bronze or gold emblems). But it give the atk and hp bonus. pretty solid if you're running pokémons like Machamp with close combat (if Cross chomp then full crit is better). such a build is good on tsareena, on azumaril, and probably also on pokémons like Buzzwhole or Tyranitar (there seems not that much Crit oriented) I hope you will read my comment. I love your content, thank you for all this vidéos
@@mymarshlands It really depends on what you play. Like, Machamp with close combat is probably better with brown and white Machamp with cross chomp is better full Crit. Aegislash sacred sword is better Brown/white while Aegislash shadow claw is better full crit And pokémons like Lucario or probably always better with Brown/white Azumaril also, because Crit is garantied, so he don't need crit rate
For the Sp. Atk Emblem, I did some testing and 1% HP > 2% of both Defense and Sp. Defense especially on special attackers. So I'd switch Tentacruel, Ivysaur and Slowbro for Butterfree, Grimer + any white emblem.
A build i use specifically for zard thats really good is 7 Red (any reds they are all solo color) 2 Brown (a nido and poliwrath) and 2 Purple and Blue (slowbro). Gets you a lot of attack speed with some dmg and defensives. Can also swap the 3 emblems that give you the Brown Purple and Blue for 3 blacks to get CDR.
Honestly, for the first emblem build I am questioning which is more valuable: The Blue and Purple 1%or just a White 1% passive. Since it still seems like Def and Sp. Def are not as important as HP when it comes to tankiness. Been hoping someone will figure that out cuz it seems hard to test for.
Full crit dive Cram with scope and razor claw is actually a monster. Yeah, it's a bit of a meme build but it makes for some really fun games in my experience
@@Ehzgnimeh Every pokemon can crit with basic attacks if you raise the crit rate with items/medals, even if they have 0% base crit rate. And dive Cram uses a lot of strong boosted basics that do insane damage on a crit.
0:15 oh okay awesome thanks ive been searching for a zeraora one. I know there are some out there but I think you'd be able to figure out a REALLY good one.
we have almost the exact same emblem pages! small world! it definitely feels like some emblems are strictly better than others and that certain builds are just what they have to be in order to work, with very little variation. i hope the cooldown bonus gets some kind of rework so it's not as insanely good as it is currently, or that the other bonuses can get buffs to compensate so players actually have to make a choice, maybe even rework some of the green/black emblems into different color configurations so that there aren't 4 of them to make the build easy to do.
don't forget to refer to that attack speed chart that I think the mathcord made that shows how effective attack speed emblems actually are. (some people made videos on it but I still didn't quite get it, besides that only a few pokemon really benefit)
I would love to see you min max into a full speed build on a greedent or talonflame (for jungle invading) using three yellow emblems and as many silver and gold + movement speed emblems for the flat stat and a floatstone and focus band with a speed (and if you want to make this build even worse I would recommend expshare for the flat stat and to catch up on xp while jungle invading) the flat stats not that good but thats what makes it a fun build for a video now.
I'm actually playing this with Talon since emblem release, i got 3 Yellow First day. I combine that with 7 black and other 2 of a defensive color (don't remember lol). I play float Stone,score shield and one between coockie and energy amp, with fluffy tail. It's tough to pull off cleanly in solo q tho
Hi, Spragels, I coded a emblem calculate to calculate the best combo for targeting color combination, want to share some results with you if this could give people more advice. for example, here are 5 best combo with quality for 7 black + 6 green for sp.attack, there are less purple or blue 2 color combo due to it not provide as more benefit as HP in game Set 1 Emblems Combo： Beedrill(bronze) Zubat(gold) Vileplume(gold) Paras(gold) Venomoth(gold) Victreebel(bronze) Tentacruel(gold) Grimer(gold) Venusaur(gold) Blastoise(gold) Colors Combo： Blue:2 Black:7 Green:6 Effects Combo: HP:120.0 Attack:-7.0 Sp.Attack:6.0 Defense:5.0 Sp.Defense:5.0 Critical-Hit_Rate:-4.0 Speed:35.0 Set 2 Emblems Combo： Beedrill(bronze) Vileplume(gold) Paras(gold) Venomoth(gold) Victreebel(bronze) Tentacruel(gold) Grimer(gold) Gengar(gold) Venusaur(gold) Blastoise(gold) Colors Combo： Blue:2 Black:7 Purple:1 Green:6 Effects Combo: HP:120.0 Attack:-7.0 Sp.Attack:6.0 Defense:5.0 Sp.Defense:5.0 Critical-Hit_Rate:-4.0 Speed:35.0 Set 3 Emblems Combo： Victreebel(bronze) Tentacruel(gold) Grimer(gold) Gengar(gold) Venusaur(gold) Beedrill(bronze) Vileplume(gold) Paras(gold) Venomoth(gold) Kadabra(gold) Colors Combo： Blue:1 Black:7 Purple:2 Green:6 Effects Combo: HP:120.0 Attack:-7.0 Sp.Attack:6.0 Defense:5.0 Sp.Defense:5.0 Critical-Hit_Rate:-4.0 Speed:35.0 Set 4 Emblems Combo： Victreebel(bronze) Tentacruel(gold) Grimer(gold) Venusaur(gold) Beedrill(bronze) Zubat(gold) Vileplume(gold) Paras(gold) Venomoth(gold) Kadabra(gold) Colors Combo： Blue:1 Black:7 Purple:1 Green:6 Effects Combo: HP:120.0 Attack:-7.0 Sp.Attack:6.0 Defense:5.0 Sp.Defense:5.0 Critical-Hit_Rate:-4.0 Speed:35.0 Set 5 Emblems Combo： Butterfree(gold) Beedrill(bronze) Zubat(gold) Vileplume(gold) Paras(gold) Venomoth(gold) Victreebel(bronze) Tentacruel(gold) Grimer(gold) Blastoise(gold) Colors Combo： Blue:2 White:1 Black:7 Green:6 Effects Combo: HP:120.0 Attack:-8.0 Sp.Attack:3.0 Defense:10.0 Sp.Defense:5.0 Critical-Hit_Rate:-4.0 Speed:35.0
because he was using multiples of the same pokemon (since there are few currently that boost critical hit rate) when you have multiples of the same pokemon, it counts for the small stat changes but not for the color count
Best Video, Best Explanation, Best Emblem Builds, Just Wanted To Say That This Video Have All About Emblems That You Want To See On RUclips. Big Thanks Cowboy🍻
Don't have all the black emblems yet to be efficient so I've just been basically ignoring the emblem system. I did however slap some random ones together to get +300 extra HP just to see how it will fly.
They should really add more slots, at least 2 more or make it by pokémon like held items, i sometimes forget that i need to switch the emblem set when i pick a different mon
One pokemon that I rather not use black emblems is extreme speed lucario since you get instant resets as long as you dont miss, so for him I rather have attack and HP :P
You got so many emblems from having saved all those spins before. I was always spending them in hopes of getting coins since I am a f2p player. It paid off in the sense that right now I only lack 2 characters in the game and have currently 11k coins saving up for Tyranitar, but I feel that I'm struggling getting emblems since I'm only able to spin like 4 or 5 a day
Have you run all movespeed on Mons that you have run effects on? You can float stone into popping the lane run effect just running around normal without speed boosts.
Hey, I'm having a problem with repeated emblems, the game's not registering them in the required number of repeated emblems to merge and I got a reply of pokemon support asking for me to send them a video showing the problem happening(thankfully I have the conditions to do so). However I play the game in an Android phone and I don't know how to make the video recording there, what app can I use in order to do so?
Hey Spragels! Could you pls make an aurora veil Ninetails build guide with the emblems? I've been really wanting to play this build on this pokemon, but I don't know whether to run crit, or attack speed, or special attack, or cooldown. PS- (I really love your content and the fact that you have a clean mouth.)
I believe emblem stat boosts are being underrated by every streamer right now. If you have 10 gold HP boosting emblems it is ALWAYS better to go for the HP boost than to stack 6 whites as Blissey at level 15 with the highest HP in the game at 10,000 will only get 400 HP from a full 6 stack of whites whereas it would get 500 HP AT THE START of the match with 10 gold HP boosters. A full green stack gives 4% increase to sp. atk, which is only better than 30 straight sp. atk that you can get with 10 gold sp. atk items IF the pokemons sp. atk stat is 750 or higher. For reference, no supporter, or defender has a sp. atk higher than 750 even at lvl 15 and neither do cramorant or sylveon so those pokemon would be better stacking sp. Atk than going green. You can do the calculations for the other stats as well but the biggest takeaways are: 1. Getting 10 gold items of the same stat is going to take a LONG time and therefore is ideal not practical. 2. In ideal situations, 10 gold items of a stat is going to better in nearly every scenario since you get the bonus throughout the entire match where the color percentage bonuses won't usually outweigh the stat bonuses until the end of the game and for many pokemon will never outweigh the stat bonus. 3. We will have to calculate the breakpoints inbetween for a more practical sense. 8 bronze HPs and 2 silver HPs is a lot more likely than 10 gold but it's probably still going to be better than 6 white in many cases.
Jake, the Pokémon I most want to know about, boost emblem wise, is Aegislash. I currently run a “brown” and white build but I don’t know if that’s as optimized as it can be.
It usually is much much better to have +1% HP rather than +2% in both defenses. So I think for your first build, you'd have better to go with Butterfree + another White instead of your two pure Green + Slowbro. In my opinion, the perfect Green-Black build is : 073 - Tentacruel 023 - Ekans 088 - Grimer 017 - Pidgeotto 012 - Butterfree 071 - Victreebel 045 - Vileplume 015 - Beedrill 049 - Venomoth 043 - Oddish
Question! So getting a specific set for each Pokémon is only possible if you’re buying extra loadout? Cause they only give three for free right? So someone with all the licenses has to get more loadouts in order to get a set for each Pokémon :S
Anyone know if cooldown bonus affects things like the charge rate for egg bomb, etc.? Because the move itself has a 2 second cooldown so you wouldn’t want this, unless it affects recharge as well
should i run CDR or crit on dragonite/cinderace/greninja? i have one CDR build (7 black emblems) and one 5% crit rate increase build respectively. (i usually run scope lens/muscle band/buddy barrier/razor claw.)
Dragonite with full cdr let’s you keep dragon dance up without hitting basics so that is pretty amazing. I’d run full crit on cinder and greninja probably
Please make a video about Aurora vale build ninetails and outrage build dragonite in attack speed boost. I can only do 5 red boost and i feel a large increase on atk speed when they are using Aurora and outrage
Spragels! Long time fan, love your content! Just want your opinion on what would happen if they introduce a few emblems that give critical hit damage% like how the scope lens gives you 12% crit hit damage? I think for pokemon like azu who doesn't benefit from crit rate would love something like this. I think since scope gives the ratio of 6% rate to 12% damage we can keep that ratio for emblems and give a gold emblem 2% crit damage since they give 1% rate. Or should it be part of the colors and give crit damage that way?
IMPORTANT QUESTION! XD the movement speed that emblems give you as a stat boost (not as a boost for matching colors that specifically reads movement speed when out of combat) is it general movement speed in and out of combat or just out of combat?? Please let me know!
No they wouldn't. I forget the math, but I'm pretty sure only like 20% or so of it's lost defense gets added to attack. You'd be better off giving it all orange.
I'm currently using a +hp medal on my cd build instead of the blue and purple bonus, if i knew how well the def boosts work I would know which benefits me more:'D
When do you think they add more emblems? Also which of the all round one do you keep on? The cool down one or the very balanced one? Assuming I want a crit only and a CD SpAt one at all times
I play mostly physical attackers do I have to run a shell bell and energy amplifier in order for 7 black emblems to be useful or I can I just run 7 black by itself?
Hey Jake, for Pokemon like Glaceon that can crit, would it be more efficient to use a Black/Green build, all crit, or some combination? Seems like Black/Green builds also tend to lean into negative crit, which sadly makes a SpAttack/crit build tough
In my own opinion, I think they should make both def 4%, atk 3%, health 4% or 3%. Cuz I don't really see much of a change. And I feel when I merge tokens, I should get something better then just .5 added to the increase.. that's just me tho. Who knows. Atleast 1.5 each merge.
I played Pokémon Unite Actively since the release up to somewhere around hoopas release, and when I logged on today after a long time I was speechless! what in hells name happened to the menu screen!? xD
Hello I wanted to share that I’ve been focusing more on the current effects rather the colors and has been a way better game play for me you and many other RUclips focus on the colors yes they play a part but it literally says the effects in percent and the current effects are in decimals which you can actually see added up in the game play in attack, or am I wrong
Thx to the CD reduction emblems Psyshock Gardevoir can spam so much to the point that it can use psychic 3 times in less than 5 seconds. Oh yeah and CRAMORANT'S FINALLY VIABLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but I'm still waiting for Garchomp buffs...
What moves and held items were you using? I want to find a good build for Glaceon, but it seems like I can't avoid ending up with negative crit from the emblems, which makes me unsure of the best held items as well
Imo. I think they need to hold off on releasing things that are not fully finished. Interact with their community base more. To get more feedback on things before they release them. Also claimed events and missions should be moved to the bottom of the list to make things quicker, easier, and convenient to find. Or just create a Help & Support Page where people can submit forums about complaints of the game.
I hate the way they handle attack speed. The numbers meant next nothing on Muscle and I was weary on the red emblem numbers too. It’s a tiered system.They have 0 transparency on that and it hasn’t changed.
Having only 3 slots for all of these pokemon to share is extremely annoying. Why they didn't give each mon their own personal emblem slot like they did with held items and battle items is beyond me
i feel this is some sort of nerf that you have to choose what you want to strenghten, and not have every pokemon all set and ready.

*(which have more chances to activate sooner with faster attack speeds!)
Since attack speed, is a very complex and weird topic, maybe for video idea, you could discuss the niche benefits it gives to specific characters at specific power spikes (like the large hidden benefits it gives to people that can reach level 15 Cinder)?

Going on the theory of White being generally better than Blue and Purple, you can make a Black Green build splashing 2 White.
4 Black Green - Victreebel, Vileplume, Beedrill, Venomoth
1 Green White - Butterfree
1 Green - Whatever you like, I prefer Venonat for the HP boost
3 Black - Whatever you like, I prefer Grimer, Muk, and something else for the HP boost

Because there's only 3 slots you can have, I made each have Attack, Special Attack and Defense/Special Defense/HP respectively. It works for most of the pokemon.
i liked that you mentioned the crit set is not good for Azumarill. It's easy to see why it isnt, but some people could confuse the %crit chance with the %crit damage thinking that "well, yes, scope lens is being used for Azu, so why not crit emblems too"
Thank you!, It’s always good to hear valueable information for gameplay. Unlike online players, “aekaco”, who complain in game thinking they play best. Despite their continue dislike for our team - we win zapdos and keep 5 goals intact. What a troll
for those who have problem in understanding emblems here's a great tip
just don't use copy medals or two medals in same layout like if u are using 2 emblems of same pokemon just switch one of them with different pokemon to enhance emblems
so this way u can have 7 black 6 green and others of ur choice
btw great video Jake
Thanks for this informative video 💪👍
You can't have 7 black and 6 green at the same time, only 10 at a time, and 7+6=13.....
Your able to get the 7 black and 6 green by using emblems with dual colors

Hi Spragels, I think you didn't talk about a pretty solid build in my opinion.
It's a 6 Brown/ 4 white build, with also critical hit rate.
it's not that much critical hit (just 3-5% depending on bronze or gold emblems).
But it give the atk and hp bonus.
pretty solid if you're running pokémons like Machamp with close combat (if Cross chomp then full crit is better).
such a build is good on tsareena, on azumaril, and probably also on pokémons like Buzzwhole or Tyranitar (there seems not that much Crit oriented)
I hope you will read my comment.
I love your content, thank you for all this vidéos
ok yes!! i was really curious about that. i want to know if its best to run a bunch of repeats for crit or if its better to pick a white + brown build
@@mymarshlands It really depends on what you play.
Like, Machamp with close combat is probably better with brown and white
Machamp with cross chomp is better full Crit.
Aegislash sacred sword is better Brown/white while Aegislash shadow claw is better full crit
And pokémons like Lucario or probably always better with Brown/white
Azumaril also, because Crit is garantied, so he don't need crit rate
For the Sp. Atk Emblem, I did some testing and 1% HP > 2% of both Defense and Sp. Defense especially on special attackers. So I'd switch Tentacruel, Ivysaur and Slowbro for Butterfree, Grimer + any white emblem.
The problem with going for the 1st hp buff means giving up max special attack or cooldown
@@bridgettediaz8954 You dont actually. Since Butterfree is Green+White, Grimer is Black. So you dont sacrifice the CDR and Sp. Atk in this one.
I'm running Trev with Full Hp boost and Cooldown reduction. Absolutely loving it
Could you please share the emblems
A build i use specifically for zard thats really good is 7 Red (any reds they are all solo color) 2 Brown (a nido and poliwrath) and 2 Purple and Blue (slowbro). Gets you a lot of attack speed with some dmg and defensives. Can also swap the 3 emblems that give you the Brown Purple and Blue for 3 blacks to get CDR.
Honestly, for the first emblem build I am questioning which is more valuable: The Blue and Purple 1%or just a White 1% passive. Since it still seems like Def and Sp. Def are not as important as HP when it comes to tankiness.
Been hoping someone will figure that out cuz it seems hard to test for.
Full Cooldown Sylveon is great. YEEHAW😎
Full crit dive Cram with scope and razor claw is actually a monster. Yeah, it's a bit of a meme build but it makes for some really fun games in my experience
I don’t think cram can crit…
@@Ehzgnimeh Every pokemon can crit with basic attacks if you raise the crit rate with items/medals, even if they have 0% base crit rate. And dive Cram uses a lot of strong boosted basics that do insane damage on a crit.
0:15 oh okay awesome thanks ive been searching for a zeraora one. I know there are some out there but I think you'd be able to figure out a REALLY good one.
we have almost the exact same emblem pages! small world! it definitely feels like some emblems are strictly better than others and that certain builds are just what they have to be in order to work, with very little variation. i hope the cooldown bonus gets some kind of rework so it's not as insanely good as it is currently, or that the other bonuses can get buffs to compensate so players actually have to make a choice, maybe even rework some of the green/black emblems into different color configurations so that there aren't 4 of them to make the build easy to do.
I use attack speed on water shurk ninja, and if your also running aeos cookie and attack weight with potion it kinda slaps.
don't forget to refer to that attack speed chart that I think the mathcord made that shows how effective attack speed emblems actually are. (some people made videos on it but I still didn't quite get it, besides that only a few pokemon really benefit)
I would love to see you min max into a full speed build on a greedent or talonflame (for jungle invading) using three yellow emblems and as many silver and gold + movement speed emblems for the flat stat and a floatstone and focus band with a speed (and if you want to make this build even worse I would recommend expshare for the flat stat and to catch up on xp while jungle invading) the flat stats not that good but thats what makes it a fun build for a video now.
I'm actually playing this with Talon since emblem release, i got 3 Yellow First day. I combine that with 7 black and other 2 of a defensive color (don't remember lol). I play float Stone,score shield and one between coockie and energy amp, with fluffy tail. It's tough to pull off cleanly in solo q tho

What counts to the color? For exemple... On your crit build you have 5 white emblems and 5 orange, but it counts only as 2 of each. Why?
because he was using multiples of the same pokemon (since there are few currently that boost critical hit rate)
when you have multiples of the same pokemon, it counts for the small stat changes but not for the color count
@@mymarshlands Oh, thanks for the explanation.
Best Video, Best Explanation, Best Emblem Builds, Just Wanted To Say That This Video Have All About Emblems That You Want To See On RUclips. Big Thanks Cowboy🍻
Don't have all the black emblems yet to be efficient so I've just been basically ignoring the emblem system. I did however slap some random ones together to get +300 extra HP just to see how it will fly.
They should really add more slots, at least 2 more
or make it by pokémon like held items, i sometimes forget that i need to switch the emblem set when i pick a different mon
One pokemon that I rather not use black emblems is extreme speed lucario since you get instant resets as long as you dont miss, so for him I rather have attack and HP :P
You got so many emblems from having saved all those spins before. I was always spending them in hopes of getting coins since I am a f2p player. It paid off in the sense that right now I only lack 2 characters in the game and have currently 11k coins saving up for Tyranitar, but I feel that I'm struggling getting emblems since I'm only able to spin like 4 or 5 a day
Very helpful! Thanks for the overview :)
I can see what you were saying about black but I prefer blue purple build over this on snorlax
good video
I've been seeing Black Emblems on every boost emblems video across all Unite Channels 👌
Have you run all movespeed on Mons that you have run effects on? You can float stone into popping the lane run effect just running around normal without speed boosts.
I'm literally upgrading my shell bell and energy amp until lvl 30 for full maximum CD kinda hurt if they nerf the black emblem
i have one special and one attack cdr set. The third is a attack crit set but i still miss sandslash
Hey, I'm having a problem with repeated emblems, the game's not registering them in the required number of repeated emblems to merge and I got a reply of pokemon support asking for me to send them a video showing the problem happening(thankfully I have the conditions to do so). However I play the game in an Android phone and I don't know how to make the video recording there, what app can I use in order to do so?
Hey Spragels! Could you pls make an aurora veil Ninetails build guide with the emblems? I've been really wanting to play this build on this pokemon, but I don't know whether to run crit, or attack speed, or special attack, or cooldown. PS- (I really love your content and the fact that you have a clean mouth.)
I believe emblem stat boosts are being underrated by every streamer right now.
If you have 10 gold HP boosting emblems it is ALWAYS better to go for the HP boost than to stack 6 whites as Blissey at level 15 with the highest HP in the game at 10,000 will only get 400 HP from a full 6 stack of whites whereas it would get 500 HP AT THE START of the match with 10 gold HP boosters.
A full green stack gives 4% increase to sp. atk, which is only better than 30 straight sp. atk that you can get with 10 gold sp. atk items IF the pokemons sp. atk stat is 750 or higher. For reference, no supporter, or defender has a sp. atk higher than 750 even at lvl 15 and neither do cramorant or sylveon so those pokemon would be better stacking sp. Atk than going green.
You can do the calculations for the other stats as well but the biggest takeaways are:
1. Getting 10 gold items of the same stat is going to take a LONG time and therefore is ideal not practical.
2. In ideal situations, 10 gold items of a stat is going to better in nearly every scenario since you get the bonus throughout the entire match where the color percentage bonuses won't usually outweigh the stat bonuses until the end of the game and for many pokemon will never outweigh the stat bonus.
3. We will have to calculate the breakpoints inbetween for a more practical sense. 8 bronze HPs and 2 silver HPs is a lot more likely than 10 gold but it's probably still going to be better than 6 white in many cases.
How come I can't exchange for 5 anymore? I was only able to do it the first day the emblems released.
Jake, the Pokémon I most want to know about, boost emblem wise, is Aegislash. I currently run a “brown” and white build but I don’t know if that’s as optimized as it can be.
Most people say orange, and yeah that's probably the better build. Black isn't bad on it either.
It usually is much much better to have +1% HP rather than +2% in both defenses. So I think for your first build, you'd have better to go with Butterfree + another White instead of your two pure Green + Slowbro.
In my opinion, the perfect Green-Black build is :
073 - Tentacruel
023 - Ekans
088 - Grimer
017 - Pidgeotto
012 - Butterfree
071 - Victreebel
045 - Vileplume
015 - Beedrill
049 - Venomoth
043 - Oddish
To find great Boost emblems, i should use 1 at a time or multiple ( energy boost roll)??
No clue if it changes anything
Question! So getting a specific set for each Pokémon is only possible if you’re buying extra loadout? Cause they only give three for free right? So someone with all the licenses has to get more loadouts in order to get a set for each Pokémon :S
I'm having trouble what to focus on Mamoswine if HP emblems or Attack emblems
Anyone know if cooldown bonus affects things like the charge rate for egg bomb, etc.? Because the move itself has a 2 second cooldown so you wouldn’t want this, unless it affects recharge as well
Im going to upgrade all the crit emblems to gold and have like 10 of them. That will be the most op build.
Yuuup
Why having a slowbro over a second zubat or anything that boost movement speed? yes purple and blue buffs, but are they that worth it?
should i run CDR or crit on dragonite/cinderace/greninja? i have one CDR build (7 black emblems) and one 5% crit rate increase build respectively. (i usually run scope lens/muscle band/buddy barrier/razor claw.)
Dragonite with full cdr let’s you keep dragon dance up without hitting basics so that is pretty amazing. I’d run full crit on cinder and greninja probably
Wishing I could use my golden Machamp but I love most of these build! I could replace the Mankey on the third one
Just hoping I can get a my 7th black emblem soon 😥
Please make a video about Aurora vale build ninetails and outrage build dragonite in attack speed boost. I can only do 5 red boost and i feel a large increase on atk speed when they are using Aurora and outrage
We need more builds too, 3 isn't enough
Spragels! Long time fan, love your content! Just want your opinion on what would happen if they introduce a few emblems that give critical hit damage% like how the scope lens gives you 12% crit hit damage? I think for pokemon like azu who doesn't benefit from crit rate would love something like this. I think since scope gives the ratio of 6% rate to 12% damage we can keep that ratio for emblems and give a gold emblem 2% crit damage since they give 1% rate. Or should it be part of the colors and give crit damage that way?
Hey bro what a great video. Could you do a venasaur video? I am using it with black color and +7.5 atk sp.
I got all of the Boost emblems now just got to work on getting them to gold
IMPORTANT QUESTION! XD the movement speed that emblems give you as a stat boost (not as a boost for matching colors that specifically reads movement speed when out of combat) is it general movement speed in and out of combat or just out of combat?? Please let me know!
Just out of combat
But wont it be better to stack sp atk instead of stacking for green colour?
I personally do the cooldown/sp. Atk. one with Arbok instead of Zubat and Bulbasaur instead of Venusaur
Do I use setup 2 or 3 on cinderace?
Am I being dumb or we cant have more than 3 saved builds? Having only 3 build slots is bad.
Only 3 saved that is correct
You should try cooldown on Wigglytuff. Sing goes from 10 to 7.3 and dazzling gleam is 3.3. Well that’s my preferred build on Wigglytuff
With Crustle, would improving both Def stats benefit when using shell smash?
On to testing!!!
No they wouldn't. I forget the math, but I'm pretty sure only like 20% or so of it's lost defense gets added to attack. You'd be better off giving it all orange.
I'm currently using a +hp medal on my cd build instead of the blue and purple bonus, if i knew how well the def boosts work I would know which benefits me more:'D
1% HP > 2% of both defenses especially for special attackers
@@BINI_BIDI_BICI yes, but it was a single +hp (gold), not the white set bonus, though I fiddled around a little and fixed that
When do you think they add more emblems? Also which of the all round one do you keep on? The cool down one or the very balanced one? Assuming I want a crit only and a CD SpAt one at all times
Hey! Are you planning on making an updated video too? Would love to see it.
Yeah once I get more emblems I will for sure
what you tink is better for greedent??
What is movement speed do? I know this sounds like a dumb question. But auntie does a bunch of strange things
I play mostly physical attackers do I have to run a shell bell and energy amplifier in order for 7 black emblems to be useful or I can I just run 7 black by itself?
Shell and Amp add 9%, which is a little over what max black boost gives. 17% is 1 second off of 5, and 2 off of 10.
Hey Jake, for Pokemon like Glaceon that can crit, would it be more efficient to use a Black/Green build, all crit, or some combination? Seems like Black/Green builds also tend to lean into negative crit, which sadly makes a SpAttack/crit build tough
Did you know that now zeraora has unite move in level 9 😍😍
In my own opinion, I think they should make both def 4%, atk 3%, health 4% or 3%. Cuz I don't really see much of a change. And I feel when I merge tokens, I should get something better then just .5 added to the increase.. that's just me tho. Who knows. Atleast 1.5 each merge.
What’s the big idea with only letting us get 3 pink emblems?
I played Pokémon Unite Actively since the release up to somewhere around hoopas release, and when I logged on today after a long time I was speechless! what in hells name happened to the menu screen!? xD
Can someone explain why he didn't want us to use crit emblem build on azumaril
Thnx for information idol cuz I really don't know what emblems does..
Hello I wanted to share that I’ve been focusing more on the current effects rather the colors and has been a way better game play for me you and many other RUclips focus on the colors yes they play a part but it literally says the effects in percent and the current effects are in decimals which you can actually see added up in the game play in attack, or am I wrong
Thx to the CD reduction emblems Psyshock Gardevoir can spam so much to the point that it can use psychic 3 times in less than 5 seconds. Oh yeah and CRAMORANT'S FINALLY VIABLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
but I'm still waiting for Garchomp buffs...
Can somebody tell me which emblem set is best for aegislash ?
Is boost emblems only for boss rush or for it and pvp?
Running a Green black build on Glaceon. got a 137k damage game and like 16 kills. was amazing
What moves and held items were you using? I want to find a good build for Glaceon, but it seems like I can't avoid ending up with negative crit from the emblems, which makes me unsure of the best held items as well

Emblems are turning out to be pretty interesting. Lots of customization and I like that
Does lucario espeed crits?
How do you get all gold emblems?
You were streets ahead with cooldown reduction, Jake.
Imo. I think they need to hold off on releasing things that are not fully finished. Interact with their community base more. To get more feedback on things before they release them. Also claimed events and missions should be moved to the bottom of the list to make things quicker, easier, and convenient to find. Or just create a Help & Support Page where people can submit forums about complaints of the game.
I like running attack speed with the extra attack
I hate the way they handle attack speed. The numbers meant next nothing on Muscle and I was weary on the red emblem numbers too. It’s a tiered system.They have 0 transparency on that and it hasn’t changed.
I'm curious about how Attack Speed could work with eldegoss given it actually gets the boost at all level from muscle band.
Do the Egg counters for Blisseys Egg Bomb and Softboiled also come up faster with cooldown reduction?
Yes they do! If you run 7 black, shell, and amp you get 1 second off your eggs!
The movement speed bonus from the emblems, is it only out of combat? (Not the colour bonus)
It's for all time. You can get an extra 15% movement speed in and out of combat.
@@barleyoats9323 nice, thanks!
