There were 2 occasion since i pllayed unite where i really feel proud being a defender. 1. As a snorlax. Our team was loosing and its almost 2 minute mark. Reggi elecky was going to our home base and the enemy was half pushing it. Our jungler char was forced to use unite and it kinda help reliefing our team, and knowing he needs his unite, i help him farm and his unite turn out to be the deciding factor for a team battle win at ray 2. As a blastoise (i recorded the video). We were crushed so bad that at half time the point was was 300 something to 4. But we manage to push ourself to 200 point and defend the base so hard that the enemy didnt score for 2 minutes. At ray, we were so lucky to push the enemy away while deci rip ray. Unfortunately, When deci got ray, 4 of my teamates died leaving deci alone. He waited for us to come back and as a defender, having a quick chat of lets wait for our allies, i spam it hard. And walk towards deci. I open my mic, i told deci to hold and let me eat all the enemy's attack at tier two. And as a rapid spinner blasty boy, i aint afraid of their CC. Still opening my mic to let deci know when to engage to score and we manage to kill the enemies. The best part is while me deci and cram are doing it at bot tier 2 goal, mimikyu and hoopa also went top. AND OFCOURSE I ATE THE ENEMY GARDE UNITE MOVE AND SURVIVE WHILE DECI HELP ON ATTACKING FROM AFFAR. DAMN. We won by a hundred. 😂 Thats my story. Hope someone read my comment and prob leave a like. I love sharing this to you guys cause im proud of being a defender
What really helped me was realizing if you're soloQ then it doesn't really matter what you do. You can study up and be the best in the world and still lose 4 games in a row if the game decides to exclusively put the afk/troll on your team. So screw em, play the mons you enjoy and live your best life. EVERYONE gets into masters anyway.
i find it impossible to get to master. for some reason im always team up with trolls/idiots in rank. casual battle is where every decent to good players are. at least from my experience
yeah I shouldn't be getting masters 1600+ whilst i'm literally playing on a train with lag or playing in the toilet before work. Once you get basic mechanics down you beat like 80% of players. But i guess it's a mobile game where the skill level is always going to be low compared to pc/console. An average LoL player in gold will get masters 1400+.
@@Dave_of_MordorIt's kinda funny, good players either play ranked early in the season and give up when they get stuck in veteran 2/1 forever, or they start playing very late to avoid the demoted master ranks
Oh thank the lord, my winrate has been steadily declining because I have no friends who play this game, and I’m stuck with solo queue. I’m starting to think I’m doing something wrong.
as a support main, I want to tell everyone: please, please, PLEASE, pick your pokemon and SPECIFY YOUR LANE, I wait to see who I am paired with in order to pick the best support pokemon for synergy. It helps SO much when I know who is the lane with me.
they should have that a mandatory thing in the game. no one can play until everyone pick a lane. if not then the time runs out and everyone gets back to their lobby
Especially when it comes to CC. if your team has no cc, you gotta try pick someone to fill in with a lot of cc. Simple stuff like that will make your win rate sky rocket.
The thing that helped me the most is learning how to work with bad teammates. They only want to fight? Make sure you get all your sides farm and keep your level up. Wait for a chance to turn their bad fights into one where you can steal a KO. They're off wandering the map? Use it to keep track of the enemies when they pop up on the mini map. Not showing up to team fights? Yeah I don't have much for this one, but just figure out who on your team you can rely on and stick with them. 2 or 3 good players working together will have a much better chance than if everyone just does their own thing cause they think the game is lost.
My number 1 tip is not to be a surrender monkey, game has a ridiculous amount of comeback mechanics and games last only 10 minutes. If you keep playing, you MIGHT win, if you surrender, you WILL lose. Your winrate will automatically go up if you stop voluntarily losing games. Edit: And this tip was just mentioned in the video just as I posted this, woops.
no...i'm not falling for this bs. players in unite have gotten way worse than ever before, and the first 30 second of the game will literally determine whether i stop the game and spam the surrender button or not. i have given so many chances and have played all the way to the end just so the incompetent players who got to master 5+ times and should've known better to fked up TIME AND TIME AGAIN. i would just spend the whole game in the jungle while surrendering and not help out if i see any kill stealing from my own team, any sign of incompetency like running all the way to the end of the goal by yourself to score while the enemies are still there only to leave me to defend the goal by myself because you got knocked out, or if the jungler not leaving the jungle within 30 seconds. it should not take that long to get to lv 5 if your role is the jungler
have 3k games and i didnt know walking on the goal when your ally is scoring makes the scoring faster, and i didnt know how the exp share actually worked! that helped me both a lot from your earlier videos!
another thing, is just to have good game awareness. if you are behind n your tier 2 goal and all of a sudden you kill 2 or 3 of them, and you see that one of them already respawned don't go to score. it happens alot where you or your teammates wanna ride the momentum and score but then immediately get decimated. because the remaining 2 were ready and expecting you, however its best to take the little victories and use the enemies overconfidence to level up from their mistakes.
My favorite tip was one from you! During your tier list video you mentioned how it's better for you to play a pokemon that's bad that your good with then a pokemon that's good that your bad with. Thank you for that tip it's helped me a lot! I also love watching your video so I can learn how some mons work! (Dang I talked)
I was new at first but I have learned a lot from you, Inder and some other great players on terms of how to play and which Pokémon suits your play style. I learned when to engage, when to back out, when to farm and all the small details. I have seen big differences as to how I play and been mostly winning now.
My biggest gripe is when people don't fill what the team needs, whether going to a lane fighting over center or taking a defender or 2 when we need peel and CC.
YES I play competitive constantly and idk how ppl don't understand that even 3 attackers is risky and way to squishy as a team 😭 theres a lack of team balance understanding. A looot of it
In soloq People are too egotistical wanting to be the carry of the team and that’s why every other game has that one toxic player. Just be humble and fill that role or do some people a favor by just playing with friends
my biggest gripe is when people actually think rayquaza will give them the power to come back from 10 out of 5 goals behind and will somehow turn your incompetent team into professional players. JUST SURRENDER! STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND SURRENDER! YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER OF YOUR STORY!
never surrender, there was a game I was playing where there was an afk on our team and we were down to our last goal at the 5:00 mark. Through some cosmic miracle, we ko’d all five of their pokemon at the rayquaza fight and came back to win. The game is not over til it’s over.
this is terrible advice. learn to gauge your team competency. if they can't share the "food", pay attention to the countdown of regieleki, leave you to defend the goal by yourself while they go off to level up and pretend to be useful, then surrender. from experience, there is no comeback from this. if your team can't play from the beginning, they won't get to rayquaza at the end. in fact, you'll be the only one there, fighting rayquaza and the other team by yourself. LEARN WHEN TO SURRENDER AND STOP WASTING TIME
Top 3 ways to get better: 1. Play the game 2. Learn the mechanics 3. Learn comps This got me to top 500(GM) in Overwatch, Master/GM in LoL, Masters in Pokemon unite. Really, just play the game, the more you put into it the better of an understanding you will have of what comps work well together and what mechanics/skill set get you from point A to B in each situation. Number 1 and I will keep reiterating this and can't stress enough, keep playing the game. You can't play once a week and wonder why you are not climbing. You cant just pick a 'meta OP' character/build and expect to climb to the top because others did. Those 'others', learned that class and already had game awareness. You got this!
I'll be honest, I really don't wanna play Defenders sometimes cause I wanna have fun with All arounders and attackers as a break. But those times when my solo que team reminds me why it's fun being a defender, it brightens my day. Win rates be darned
Something I’ve found is that, if you really want to play an attacker/all rounder but your team comp needs defender/support, there are “hybrid roles” you can take. For example, I’ll run a tank/exp share build on Mewtwo X if I want that all-rounder experience but they need some bulk. XP share pikachu can be a great stand-in for a support. There are probably a couple other examples but those are my go-tos
I had a huge Hoopa tip from asking akeelo on how to up my Hoopa gameplay. My Hoopa win-rate has gotten higher after asking akeelo on how to play him. Thank you akeelo Edit: there’s a useful Hoopa guide in the replies
Firstly make sure you have energy amplifier on your build. (It won’t be that useful but it helps when finally having the unite move because that extra charge speed saves your teammates by teleporting them out of fights.) Second item is exp share. (You need this because your goal is to make sure your teammate gets to level nine. This is important because hoopa is a very VERY slow farmer and mostly relies on this.) Third item is resonant guard. (It’s to help teammates that want to stack and they are trying to run away after scoring. It’s to give them that extra shield power.) First tip (which I feel like every Hoopa knows) is to place a portal leading to the top or bottom objective. (Preferably place a goal portal as soon as your team is done finishing an objective so that they have a direct portal to the top or bottom.) If your first top and bottom goal zones are gone then you need to go to the side where your team isn’t then use Hoopa’s unite move in a safe spot they can portal in. (Always and I mean ALWAYS place a portal near the top or bottom objectives. NEVER place it on a random spot on the map.) If your team is knocked out by the enemys right at ray then make sure you get to behind ray to safely make a portal there when your team is just spawning in. (Make sure there at 6 seconds left or lower, never higher then 7 seconds because then the timer to take the hoopa portal ends. This is to make sure your team has invincibility when entering the fight for the first three seconds or to have them help take rayquaza while the enemy is attacking rayquaza for a sneaky takedown.) And this next tip is one every hoopa needs to know. Use hoopas portal as a last hit move for getting low hp enemys. (Thing is hoopa spawns the portal instantly so getting last hits is a guarantee because it does damage when using the move on top of them.) Playing hoopa means to look at the map constantly and to look at your teammates hp and to think ahead for any huge damage your teammates might sustain. (Always place a portal near them when there are several opponents on them so that they have a guaranteed escape.) Don’t always take hoopas portal back and just use phantom force. (When you take the portal back to base heal yourself, remember that taking it back is gonna increase the cooldown for taking it back to the battlefield. Phantom force I think if you take it then it won’t increase the timer and enemy’s are gonna camp the portal to attack when you return. So use phantom force as an instant portal back.) Use hoopas phantom force as a bush checker and to go forward and see if there are enemy’s. (Take it back as soon as you see an enemy because you don’t wanna attack, you wanna scout for your team. Also stuns exist and if you stay near a big cc enemy then they’re gonna stun you and take you down.) Last one If your teammates just are being troll players then Don’t give up on them. (What I mean is if they aren’t teammates you want, just remember everyone has different play styles and different builds. Even shell bell exp share machamps probably Don’t know how to play. (Unless they go afk after taking lots of farm then they probably aren’t worth helping. But it means they don’t know how to play yet even in masters and that they probably had something to do that was important so they had to go afk.) Just remember, “every game is throwable” - Spragels
Oh my lord.. 11:00 this is the one I struggle with. If I’m on a losing streak I often play until I turn it around but man it’s so miserable doing that sometimes. I really need to take a take when that happens. I probably get a lot of unneeded losses because I continue to play and the game might think “hey, this must be the type of matches he wants because he keeps playing” I swear it feels like thst sometimes. I know I’m not playing my best in those times too.
The role fill one is so true! I don't really play supportive roles, but sometimes I'm in the mood enough to fill. Sometimes it ends up being so fun that you're just like "Go, my boy! Tear them APART" and you win the match.
One of the bigger things for me was anticipating what the opponents are going to do. Just because they aren’t on the mini map doesn’t mean they stop existing. The most common example is opponents counter pushing after they stop a regieleki at their tier 2. They often will push towards our tier 1BI it’s intact, so we can’t just take regieleki and head down bottom with the entire team. We need to prevent giving up goals and KOs for nothing.
Hey Jake-- I recently started playing Unite again after ~1 year off. I saw your video about the ~80% winrate you had climbing the ladder with support characters, and have been employing that strategy while climbing from the dumpster in Expert 5 this season. As of today, I'm about 5 away from Master rank playing exclusively Eldegoss with a 74% win rate. Turns out that communication, map awareness, and a commitment to playing your role the way it was meant to be played are more effective catalysts for success than tearing down strangers on the internet. EDIT: EXP SHARE IS SOOOO GOOD!!
Ive been branching out and learning how to play a ton of new pokemon outside of my mains and I have been having SO SO SO much fun (in casuals)... I am also now understanding how other pokemon work which will help me when I have to face them in matches
Honestly as a tip, playing trios myself, I think trio is the core of a team, so form a strategy like a supp and two allrounders, something like tht, so basically if the other two players are bad, we can carry them, my gang tried this, we are gettin good games and risin winrates😁👍
A big thing for me was breaking habits and really looking at what an individual match's wincon is. Figuring out what decisions both teams are making, good or bad, and adjusting gameplay on the fly to work around that
none of this matter if your team is crap. this is a team game so no amount of self improvement or planning is going to do anything if your teammates play as thought they have never played any game in their life before
Jungle rotations and knowing spawn timings is defo the big one for me. My micro is pretty decent for a casual mobile player, but whenever I take a break and feel rusty again it's always cause I'm late to ad's and the enemy snowballs. Be ready at 8:50 my double stacking brothers an sister's! 😂😂😂
The other day I was playing and got into Drafting, my team was chosing only offensive pokemon, and the other team too, I didn't knew what to do because I scared thinking "should I go defensive or support?", so I chose at the last 10 seconds eldegoss, I got us to the win.
I've played MOBA's for almost half of my life (started my main game league in early season 2 in 2011 and still play in 2024 and im 29 so you do the math) and the longer i've played league and other MOBAs along the way those being Smite Dota 2 HotS Battlerite Unite etc. the more i've noticed how much your mental and mindset matter in terms of approaching the game in the long run, MOBAs are a challenging game format and always have a learning curve and eventually you have to learn the ins and outs of the game if you want improve - you have to learn to take the bad with the good - you aren't always gonna be the MVP and you aren't the main character
That members only match was fun! Lots of good things happened, but yeah that ray steal was nasty. The games at the end of the stream though... phew it's hard to find a silver lining when your teammates were that disruptive.
For me it was a small thing that seems kind of obvious now that I think about it, but the first time I played Gardevoir I was getting farmed by the enemy jungle since I was standing too close, but when I eventually evolved and got psyshock I realized how much range I had and after that they never killed me again. In the next match I played I tried my best to stay at my maximum effective range and saw how the game became surprisingly easier.
Something I’ve found is that, if you really want to play an attacker/all rounder but your team comp needs defender/support, there are “hybrid roles” you can take. For example, I’ll run a tank/exp share build on Mewtwo X if I want that all-rounder experience but they need some bulk. XP share pikachu can be a great stand-in for a support. There are probably a couple other examples but those are my go-tos
Honestly, what helped me is learning defenders and supports. Actually adjusting and understanding that everyone in soloq wants to be MVP and play attackers. It became my job to make that easier for them. Blastoise was my first master 1600 run and since then, I've always just filled the role required
8:00ish thank you someone says it finally. People back at timers of things off cooldown. Meanwhile little Timmy dies over and over in land pinging check it out! To the jungler who’s actually doing objectives right and on time.
My best piece of advice is to grind out losers que and not tilt. Sometimes, match making Is going to give you absurdly uneven teams. I've had games where we scored a hundred points and the enemy scored a thousand. The next piece is to play what the team needs. It's not always fun, but if you want to climb, sacrifices need to be made.
doing this won't work. no amount of strategy works unless your team is at least decent (and i understand that this is subjective). it's better to just make friends with the good players and invite them every time you want to rank up. players are now worse than ever before so playing with friends is the ONLY way to play rank now
As the old phrase says: Know yourself, and know your enemy. Learn not just what your Pokemon can or could do, but also your opponent. One of the best ways to counter a play involves knowing what plays can be made in the first place. Easy example: rip Fire Spin Ho-Oh from farther away if they are level 13+ because Fire Spin+ automatically explodes after the shield breaks.
Having watched Jake for the past 3 years, I've learnt so much yet always had a feeling there was something he wasn't telling. I analysed every video, even bought a replica Chair but to no avail. Then realised his secret, it was as plain as the nose on his face - or rather the moustache under the nose on his face. I stopped shaving my upper lip and since then, my skills have skyrocketed. Wanna get better? Get a mo', yo!
Tip: don't worry bout losing your lane, sometimes certain Pokemon are just better in the early game and fall of like crazy in the late game (Absol). Just go get your free respawning experience to catch back up and stop taking fights that are almost guaranteed losses
I am half way through the video and saw the comment about playing pokemon ur good at vs meta that you are bad at. Wich I agree with 100% but that made me realise that I struggle with picking up new pokemon myself although i do want to learn new pokemon. I tend to take them for a few practice match / solo challenge to learn the move sets. But when it comes to the actual games I keep going to the pokemon I am confident in. (These are mostly attackers or supports) Does anyone have any tips? Do I just try with them in games or what should I do? Because If I don't play them I will never get better with them.
If you're good, the best way to win more is to jungle. Never let the clowns that are your teammates into the jungle. Jungle difference is almost impossible to overcome.
This is accurate. I'm new to mobas and I tend to play defenders and was going based on the lane recommendations. Learning how to jungle has been helpful.
Team synergy doesn’t matter but I do think having good team comps can play a crucial role in weather you win or not even though it’s still luck have a good team comp could help your gameplay
Here is an advice I think it takes everyone to win if you see yourself out on distance not doing anything get yourself self back into the game and win if one person fails the entire team fails
okay so here's the real take on how to stop actually losing - get a 5 stack. In the last 5 games I crushed, killed, scored and got MVP every time, though we still lost to afks, not showing up for the objectives, inting, back-capping during Ray... I mean... people have some idea in general, they just hate to brain in the heat of fight, and they never react to comms
The main thing: make sure you enjoy it. I do not enjoy Unite most of the time which is probably why I’m not doing well. I just still play it because I have nothing better to do
One of the most frustrating things is your teammates not understanding farming. I show up to Ray at lv 13+ in 90% of my games unless I’m playing exp share support (even then sometimes I make 13) and my team is constantly pinging me while I’m farming and they are taking bad fights spread all over the map.. like I WISH the devs did a better job of explaining the fact that you don’t need to be fighting for 80% of the match lol. If you lose a fight or an objective, just back off and go clear your side of the map before trying to engage again, doesn’t matter if it comes at the cost of some points in your goal or *even* losing a T2, if jungle and audinos are up I’m gonna be farming them instead of fighting the enemy team’s push because I’d rather be at 13 or 14 for Ray
being a really good ceruledge main (Not as good as other players prob) it really hurts our team when it gets taken cause when it get's taken its by a expert or great rank player I am veteran rank but I am good with ceruledge it fits my play style but when my other teammates use it its like the opssosite luckily I am thinking of getting blaziken not good with it but I am thinking about it to be my secondary pokemon incase the draft takes it or my team does plus if I practice with blaziken I can be amazing with it I found what works and blaziken is similar so soon I won't have o worry
I'm no pro at this game but as a fellow veteran rank ceruledge main when somebody picks it first and i see that theirs has leftovers and/or exp share my soul receives permanent damage And this happens more often than i am comfortable with
I appreciate your suggestions The reality is different I face players so dumb and such pain in the bum... I get frustrated... For instance I mostly play defender and my teammates jus lvl by eating farm and wont f help 😭
I have had 45.7% WR for a while 😭 But boy do i love duruladon, i try to pick what helps though. Your tips have helped i went up from 44% I also stream. Not as much. But i do lol
I would like to see a video where you teach us how not to dive. It feels like I either dive and feed the enemy or try to stay alive and farm only to have the enemy come as a pair and wipe me anyway
can we stop this crap and just surrender? it's not that hard to gauge the competency of your team. if they're crap in the beginning of the game, they'll be crap at the end of the game. you will most likely do all the work, face rayquaza alone and ends up losing the game anyway. LEARN WHEN TO SURRENDER AND STOP WASTING OTHER PEOPLE TIME
i'm sorry to say this but Sableye is the one pokemon in this game I hate the most. it's almost a guaranteed that we will lose whenever it's on my team. also the "never surrender" advice is not a good one, especially now that players have gotten worse. if your team show incompetency in the beginning of the game, there is no chance for a comeback. they won't magically just become professional players by the time rayquaza comes out. you'll most likely do most of the work yourself and face rayquaza alone and loses, while your teammates pretend to look busy and away from the center. i think it's better to see how good your teammates are compare to the other team in the first 30 seconds. if you have a terrible team, leave for the jungle or just stop helping (it's better to do this in front of your team so they would want to quit when you click on the surrender button) and wait for the 5 minute mark to surrender
I slightly disagree with 10:08. Not because it isn't true, I just think the team still has a shot to take back the control of the game if everyone are still fairly healthy and/or still got their unite moves. There were many cases where the team can burst the enemies' shields down and ko them, then still have more than enough time to out score the opponent and there's nothing that they can do about it when their team is stuck in respawn jail
For me the whole if you're a supporter you support if you're a defender they want you to stand in a goal and if your speedster people believe you always have to take the middle and that you can't share. I'm a pretty relaxed person but when people will sit there hold energy full and try not to score. If two people go to jungle one gos up and the other go down and the can swap sides.
Yeah entirely true, watching educational content or high level content, taking notes and applying it to your gameplay works wonders. Watched spragels, teeds (at the very start when she made educational videos), chrisheroes, oceanic product teams like balance and applied it to my blastoise. Went straight to masters with 90% winrate back in season 3, season 4 maintained 80% winrate at 1800 mastwrs, by season 5 I maintained a 70% winrate experimenting with different pokemon and just having fun instead of only caring about wins. Now about comfort picks, yes they work even if they aren't meta, I took a break and came back after a year, and maintained a 70% winrate on blastoise last season even tho it was considered the worst tank in the game. To sum up just play what you want and if your struggling watch people who are good and giving advice then apply it to your ganeplay. (BTW everything I stated was 1tricking blastoise in soloQ, except season 5 where i experimented with different mon and had fun, so yes solo warriors and 1trick warriors can do it too)
Shorter answer get practice do your job learn the pokemon, find teammates if possible watch and learn from people better than you lastly don’t be shy to try new strats or builds lots of resources out there do the best you can you can’t control everyone or everything else things happened accept it move on
I just play carry Pokemon, have a mindset that I need to farm so hard so I can carry. On Rayquaza, I always attempt to pick-off enemies one by one, if my teammates doesn't want to play then we lose, if luckily they did then it's a win. Lastly don't get tilt easily.
Hey Spragels, can u like make a video abt sableye, and the way you should play, I was planning on buying it, I play mons based on your vids lol thx for tht😁👍
Jake, please start doing videos for Dragonball Project Multi. The game is a lot of fun and it brought in a lot of fans of the IP that aren't familiar with MOBA and could use your guidance!
I'm actually enjoying Urshifu surging strike but atm i'm using left overs, razor claw and muscle band. I know i need a better item over left overs but i lack survivability atm. I also havent used my only potion [because its all i have and idr how to]. I'm actually enjoying Urshifu alot. Same with sylveon. I hope they have a silvally sometime but i doubt they will due to how he is and it'll be difficult to balance without overpowering or over nerfing.
Learn which pokemon are good in lane and which ones are good in center. When I started playing the game I played lane greninja because I don’t like center and didn’t know any better. Now because I like lane I started learning defenders and all rounders thar are good in lane.
Iam better at this game, because im learning a lot from your Videos. Sadly my winrate isnt so high. I get too often stupid teammates, even if i give my best its often not enough to win the game. Its frustrating
Sir the maine problem is "Trust" playing with random team players... 1. I was playing with slowbro and used "Telekenesis move" and I am catching thr enemy pokemon but they are not attacking it.. They just ran away or they waiting to release oppo pokemon.. 2. They playing their own game no unity with team members.. Game name is pokemon unite but they are not supporting teammates.. 😭
Just wondering, how do you ping “thanks” on phone for unite? I’d like to thank my teammates but idk where the button is, it’s not with the “let’s split up” “now’s the time to score” ping options or at least I don’t see it there
What's the best way to find consistent people to play with? I've been a part of a few teams, but they fall apart sooner than later. I really want to be on a determined team so we can learn each other's play styles and fill in the gaps.
One time I was playing tsareena, my team was really demotivated, I was able to steal zapados but my team didn't even dare to try. We could have won since it was 446 - 586 and my team had 30+ energy saved up😢
Idk that’s around where I’m at so I’m gonna assume it’s solid since almost every team I get in solo q is an inch away from stress induced heart failure
@@Rich_Unhinged I always consider my team as a bots so need for me I have to carry, I still have mime jungler, ppl with 10K damge but I ended up wins it's all about how to get ray but yeah I agree with u for me I won't to hit 1600 again is reallly an agoney it's like hitting master is enough.

There were 2 occasion since i pllayed unite where i really feel proud being a defender.
1. As a snorlax. Our team was loosing and its almost 2 minute mark. Reggi elecky was going to our home base and the enemy was half pushing it. Our jungler char was forced to use unite and it kinda help reliefing our team, and knowing he needs his unite, i help him farm and his unite turn out to be the deciding factor for a team battle win at ray
2. As a blastoise (i recorded the video). We were crushed so bad that at half time the point was was 300 something to 4. But we manage to push ourself to 200 point and defend the base so hard that the enemy didnt score for 2 minutes. At ray, we were so lucky to push the enemy away while deci rip ray. Unfortunately, When deci got ray, 4 of my teamates died leaving deci alone. He waited for us to come back and as a defender, having a quick chat of lets wait for our allies, i spam it hard. And walk towards deci. I open my mic, i told deci to hold and let me eat all the enemy's attack at tier two. And as a rapid spinner blasty boy, i aint afraid of their CC. Still opening my mic to let deci know when to engage to score and we manage to kill the enemies. The best part is while me deci and cram are doing it at bot tier 2 goal, mimikyu and hoopa also went top. AND OFCOURSE I ATE THE ENEMY GARDE UNITE MOVE AND SURVIVE WHILE DECI HELP ON ATTACKING FROM AFFAR. DAMN. We won by a hundred. 😂
Thats my story. Hope someone read my comment and prob leave a like. I love sharing this to you guys cause im proud of being a defender
It's rare to queue with a player who uses the mic to lead and not to cuss out the team in spanish
God those types of comebaxks in games are awesome to witness but even better to experience.
And then you got a 10 year perma for using VC
What really helped me was realizing if you're soloQ then it doesn't really matter what you do. You can study up and be the best in the world and still lose 4 games in a row if the game decides to exclusively put the afk/troll on your team. So screw em, play the mons you enjoy and live your best life. EVERYONE gets into masters anyway.
i find it impossible to get to master. for some reason im always team up with trolls/idiots in rank. casual battle is where every decent to good players are. at least from my experience

yeah I shouldn't be getting masters 1600+ whilst i'm literally playing on a train with lag or playing in the toilet before work. Once you get basic mechanics down you beat like 80% of players. But i guess it's a mobile game where the skill level is always going to be low compared to pc/console. An average LoL player in gold will get masters 1400+.
@@Dave_of_MordorIt's kinda funny, good players either play ranked early in the season and give up when they get stuck in veteran 2/1 forever, or they start playing very late to avoid the demoted master ranks
Solid advice. Most people don’t realize solo Q win rate outside of you doing your job is completely out of your control
I don't have friends 😞😭 last two soloQ matches I got matched with couple of new players against a full team of masters
However... if your solo q win rate is constantly below 48% per season then you need to reflect on why you are losing so much
Currently on my second season as solo q Eldegoss at 54%wr. Sometimes you just have to try your hardest and hope for the best
hmmm... thats too specific. even 42wr as supporter main is still passable. Yup eldegoss can be everything and that 50+wr is craazzy good gameplay
Oh thank the lord, my winrate has been steadily declining because I have no friends who play this game, and I’m stuck with solo queue. I’m starting to think I’m doing something wrong.
as a support main, I want to tell everyone: please, please, PLEASE, pick your pokemon and SPECIFY YOUR LANE, I wait to see who I am paired with in order to pick the best support pokemon for synergy. It helps SO much when I know who is the lane with me.
they should have that a mandatory thing in the game. no one can play until everyone pick a lane. if not then the time runs out and everyone gets back to their lobby
Especially when it comes to CC. if your team has no cc, you gotta try pick someone to fill in with a lot of cc. Simple stuff like that will make your win rate sky rocket.
The thing that helped me the most is learning how to work with bad teammates.
They only want to fight? Make sure you get all your sides farm and keep your level up. Wait for a chance to turn their bad fights into one where you can steal a KO.
They're off wandering the map? Use it to keep track of the enemies when they pop up on the mini map.
Not showing up to team fights? Yeah I don't have much for this one, but just figure out who on your team you can rely on and stick with them. 2 or 3 good players working together will have a much better chance than if everyone just does their own thing cause they think the game is lost.
My number 1 tip is not to be a surrender monkey, game has a ridiculous amount of comeback mechanics and games last only 10 minutes. If you keep playing, you MIGHT win, if you surrender, you WILL lose.
Your winrate will automatically go up if you stop voluntarily losing games.
Edit: And this tip was just mentioned in the video just as I posted this, woops.
no...i'm not falling for this bs. players in unite have gotten way worse than ever before, and the first 30 second of the game will literally determine whether i stop the game and spam the surrender button or not. i have given so many chances and have played all the way to the end just so the incompetent players who got to master 5+ times and should've known better to fked up TIME AND TIME AGAIN. i would just spend the whole game in the jungle while surrendering and not help out if i see any kill stealing from my own team, any sign of incompetency like running all the way to the end of the goal by yourself to score while the enemies are still there only to leave me to defend the goal by myself because you got knocked out, or if the jungler not leaving the jungle within 30 seconds. it should not take that long to get to lv 5 if your role is the jungler
have 3k games and i didnt know walking on the goal when your ally is scoring makes the scoring faster, and i didnt know how the exp share actually worked! that helped me both a lot from your earlier videos!
another thing, is just to have good game awareness. if you are behind n your tier 2 goal and all of a sudden you kill 2 or 3 of them, and you see that one of them already respawned don't go to score. it happens alot where you or your teammates wanna ride the momentum and score but then immediately get decimated. because the remaining 2 were ready and expecting you, however its best to take the little victories and use the enemies overconfidence to level up from their mistakes.
What tip was your favorite?
My favorite tip was one from you! During your tier list video you mentioned how it's better for you to play a pokemon that's bad that your good with then a pokemon that's good that your bad with. Thank you for that tip it's helped me a lot! I also love watching your video so I can learn how some mons work! (Dang I talked)
Hey is ttar still good for solo rank push?
@@rpdtv12 I don't know I haven't seen any Ttar this season, if your good as him then go ahead and try!
@@rpdtv12yes very just play stone edge and sand tomb and try to level up as fast as possible
My favorite tip was to stay positive!
Also ping ‘check it out and thanks’ so your allies get encouraged to work with you like a good teammate
I was new at first but I have learned a lot from you, Inder and some other great players on terms of how to play and which Pokémon suits your play style. I learned when to engage, when to back out, when to farm and all the small details. I have seen big differences as to how I play and been mostly winning now.
1 view on 12 seconds now people can stop saying he fell off
The only way Spragels could possibly fall off is if that magnificent mustache somehow falls off too..
No bro his audience is employed not like you free to watch just he uploads video
@@dpMosaic his moustache looks like something my therapist would point at and ask me, what do you see here?
I hate that everyone says he’s falling off
You, and your cat, need to find something better to do.
My biggest gripe is when people don't fill what the team needs, whether going to a lane fighting over center or taking a defender or 2 when we need peel and CC.
Or 4 attackers and 1 Deffender (How did that team won? No idea)
YES I play competitive constantly and idk how ppl don't understand that even 3 attackers is risky and way to squishy as a team 😭 theres a lack of team balance understanding. A looot of it
In soloq People are too egotistical wanting to be the carry of the team and that’s why every other game has that one toxic player. Just be humble and fill that role or do some people a favor by just playing with friends
my biggest gripe is when people actually think rayquaza will give them the power to come back from 10 out of 5 goals behind and will somehow turn your incompetent team into professional players. JUST SURRENDER! STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND SURRENDER! YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER OF YOUR STORY!
@@Dave_of_Mordor its actually works in some Situations.
never surrender, there was a game I was playing where there was an afk on our team and we were down to our last goal at the 5:00 mark. Through some cosmic miracle, we ko’d all five of their pokemon at the rayquaza fight and came back to win. The game is not over til it’s over.
this is terrible advice. learn to gauge your team competency. if they can't share the "food", pay attention to the countdown of regieleki, leave you to defend the goal by yourself while they go off to level up and pretend to be useful, then surrender. from experience, there is no comeback from this. if your team can't play from the beginning, they won't get to rayquaza at the end. in fact, you'll be the only one there, fighting rayquaza and the other team by yourself. LEARN WHEN TO SURRENDER AND STOP WASTING TIME
Top 3 ways to get better: 1. Play the game 2. Learn the mechanics 3. Learn comps This got me to top 500(GM) in Overwatch, Master/GM in LoL, Masters in Pokemon unite. Really, just play the game, the more you put into it the better of an understanding you will have of what comps work well together and what mechanics/skill set get you from point A to B in each situation. Number 1 and I will keep reiterating this and can't stress enough, keep playing the game. You can't play once a week and wonder why you are not climbing. You cant just pick a 'meta OP' character/build and expect to climb to the top because others did. Those 'others', learned that class and already had game awareness. You got this!
I'll be honest, I really don't wanna play Defenders sometimes cause I wanna have fun with All arounders and attackers as a break. But those times when my solo que team reminds me why it's fun being a defender, it brightens my day. Win rates be darned
Something I’ve found is that, if you really want to play an attacker/all rounder but your team comp needs defender/support, there are “hybrid roles” you can take. For example, I’ll run a tank/exp share build on Mewtwo X if I want that all-rounder experience but they need some bulk. XP share pikachu can be a great stand-in for a support. There are probably a couple other examples but those are my go-tos
@@nickg5341 I hate pikachu but thank you for the advice
I had a huge Hoopa tip from asking akeelo on how to up my Hoopa gameplay. My Hoopa win-rate has gotten higher after asking akeelo on how to play him. Thank you akeelo
Edit: there’s a useful Hoopa guide in the replies
I love hoopa! Please share what you learned
Yes please share it . I am also a hoopa main with blue badge 😊.
Brother you can't just say that and not share the tip 💀
@@endgalaxy1321I’ll be real with you Iam trying to type everything up 😂
Firstly make sure you have energy amplifier on your build. (It won’t be that useful but it helps when finally having the unite move because that extra charge speed saves your teammates by teleporting them out of fights.)
Second item is exp share. (You need this because your goal is to make sure your teammate gets to level nine. This is important because hoopa is a very VERY slow farmer and mostly relies on this.)
Third item is resonant guard. (It’s to help teammates that want to stack and they are trying to run away after scoring. It’s to give them that extra shield power.)
First tip (which I feel like every Hoopa knows) is to place a portal leading to the top or bottom objective. (Preferably place a goal portal as soon as your team is done finishing an objective so that they have a direct portal to the top or bottom.)
If your first top and bottom goal zones are gone then you need to go to the side where your team isn’t then use Hoopa’s unite move in a safe spot they can portal in. (Always and I mean ALWAYS place a portal near the top or bottom objectives. NEVER place it on a random spot on the map.)
If your team is knocked out by the enemys right at ray then make sure you get to behind ray to safely make a portal there when your team is just spawning in. (Make sure there at 6 seconds left or lower, never higher then 7 seconds because then the timer to take the hoopa portal ends. This is to make sure your team has invincibility when entering the fight for the first three seconds or to have them help take rayquaza while the enemy is attacking rayquaza for a sneaky takedown.)
And this next tip is one every hoopa needs to know.
Use hoopas portal as a last hit move for getting low hp enemys. (Thing is hoopa spawns the portal instantly so getting last hits is a guarantee because it does damage when using the move on top of them.)
Playing hoopa means to look at the map constantly and to look at your teammates hp and to think ahead for any huge damage your teammates might sustain. (Always place a portal near them when there are several opponents on them so that they have a guaranteed escape.)
Don’t always take hoopas portal back and just use phantom force. (When you take the portal back to base heal yourself, remember that taking it back is gonna increase the cooldown for taking it back to the battlefield. Phantom force I think if you take it then it won’t increase the timer and enemy’s are gonna camp the portal to attack when you return. So use phantom force as an instant portal back.)
Use hoopas phantom force as a bush checker and to go forward and see if there are enemy’s. (Take it back as soon as you see an enemy because you don’t wanna attack, you wanna scout for your team. Also stuns exist and if you stay near a big cc enemy then they’re gonna stun you and take you down.)
Last one
If your teammates just are being troll players then Don’t give up on them. (What I mean is if they aren’t teammates you want, just remember everyone has different play styles and different builds. Even shell bell exp share machamps probably Don’t know how to play. (Unless they go afk after taking lots of farm then they probably aren’t worth helping. But it means they don’t know how to play yet even in masters and that they probably had something to do that was important so they had to go afk.)
Just remember, “every game is throwable” - Spragels
Oh my lord.. 11:00 this is the one I struggle with. If I’m on a losing streak I often play until I turn it around but man it’s so miserable doing that sometimes. I really need to take a take when that happens. I probably get a lot of unneeded losses because I continue to play and the game might think “hey, this must be the type of matches he wants because he keeps playing” I swear it feels like thst sometimes. I know I’m not playing my best in those times too.
then why not surrender?
The biggest advice everyone who seen this video should take is that all of this is universal 😁 I hope you'll continue to win at unite and at life
Always farm, go to objectives, be at 2 at Ray. That's it, it's as simple as that.
The role fill one is so true! I don't really play supportive roles, but sometimes I'm in the mood enough to fill. Sometimes it ends up being so fun that you're just like "Go, my boy! Tear them APART" and you win the match.
One of the bigger things for me was anticipating what the opponents are going to do. Just because they aren’t on the mini map doesn’t mean they stop existing. The most common example is opponents counter pushing after they stop a regieleki at their tier 2. They often will push towards our tier 1BI it’s intact, so we can’t just take regieleki and head down bottom with the entire team. We need to prevent giving up goals and KOs for nothing.
Hey Jake--
I recently started playing Unite again after ~1 year off.
I saw your video about the ~80% winrate you had climbing the ladder with support characters, and have been employing that strategy while climbing from the dumpster in Expert 5 this season.
As of today, I'm about 5 away from Master rank playing exclusively Eldegoss with a 74% win rate.
Turns out that communication, map awareness, and a commitment to playing your role the way it was meant to be played are more effective catalysts for success than tearing down strangers on the internet.
EDIT: EXP SHARE IS SOOOO GOOD!!
Ive been branching out and learning how to play a ton of new pokemon outside of my mains and I have been having SO SO SO much fun (in casuals)... I am also now understanding how other pokemon work which will help me when I have to face them in matches
Now i just need my allies to watch this
I usually play charizard but when opponent team is really strong I switch to my mamoswine I love mamo I Defend with my life
Hope you're doing good,, thanks for the advices
💙❤️💙
Honestly as a tip, playing trios myself, I think trio is the core of a team, so form a strategy like a supp and two allrounders, something like tht, so basically if the other two players are bad, we can carry them, my gang tried this, we are gettin good games and risin winrates😁👍
Focus on staying alive was the best advice I got for pokemon unite.
Simple, but yeah it helped a lot!
A big thing for me was breaking habits and really looking at what an individual match's wincon is. Figuring out what decisions both teams are making, good or bad, and adjusting gameplay on the fly to work around that
none of this matter if your team is crap. this is a team game so no amount of self improvement or planning is going to do anything if your teammates play as thought they have never played any game in their life before
Jungle rotations and knowing spawn timings is defo the big one for me. My micro is pretty decent for a casual mobile player, but whenever I take a break and feel rusty again it's always cause I'm late to ad's and the enemy snowballs. Be ready at 8:50 my double stacking brothers an sister's! 😂😂😂
The other day I was playing and got into Drafting, my team was chosing only offensive pokemon, and the other team too, I didn't knew what to do because I scared thinking "should I go defensive or support?", so I chose at the last 10 seconds eldegoss, I got us to the win.
I've played MOBA's for almost half of my life (started my main game league in early season 2 in 2011 and still play in 2024 and im 29 so you do the math) and the longer i've played league and other MOBAs along the way those being Smite Dota 2 HotS Battlerite Unite etc. the more i've noticed how much your mental and mindset matter in terms of approaching the game in the long run, MOBAs are a challenging game format and always have a learning curve and eventually you have to learn the ins and outs of the game if you want improve - you have to learn to take the bad with the good - you aren't always gonna be the MVP and you aren't the main character
That members only match was fun! Lots of good things happened, but yeah that ray steal was nasty. The games at the end of the stream though... phew it's hard to find a silver lining when your teammates were that disruptive.
My winrate improved since I watch your Videos. The only thing left for me is learning when to score
I am only learning from you! And thanks to you and your guidance, I am playing well and much better! 🎉❤❤❤
For me it was a small thing that seems kind of obvious now that I think about it, but the first time I played Gardevoir I was getting farmed by the enemy jungle since I was standing too close, but when I eventually evolved and got psyshock I realized how much range I had and after that they never killed me again. In the next match I played I tried my best to stay at my maximum effective range and saw how the game became surprisingly easier.
Something I’ve found is that, if you really want to play an attacker/all rounder but your team comp needs defender/support, there are “hybrid roles” you can take. For example, I’ll run a tank/exp share build on Mewtwo X if I want that all-rounder experience but they need some bulk. XP share pikachu can be a great stand-in for a support. There are probably a couple other examples but those are my go-tos
Honestly, what helped me is learning defenders and supports. Actually adjusting and understanding that everyone in soloq wants to be MVP and play attackers. It became my job to make that easier for them. Blastoise was my first master 1600 run and since then, I've always just filled the role required
8:00ish thank you someone says it finally. People back at timers of things off cooldown. Meanwhile little Timmy dies over and over in land pinging check it out! To the jungler who’s actually doing objectives right and on time.
10:35 🎵"we're taking a little bit of a tilt break"🎶
Remember You Can't Win Every Game, But You Can Have Fun Every Game! 😄👍💜🧡
The biggest turning point for me was understanding map rotation
Needed this, just broke into the Veteran class yesterday 😤
i hope you make good friends along the way because it's impossible to get to master without them.
My best piece of advice is to grind out losers que and not tilt. Sometimes, match making Is going to give you absurdly uneven teams. I've had games where we scored a hundred points and the enemy scored a thousand.
The next piece is to play what the team needs. It's not always fun, but if you want to climb, sacrifices need to be made.
doing this won't work. no amount of strategy works unless your team is at least decent (and i understand that this is subjective). it's better to just make friends with the good players and invite them every time you want to rank up. players are now worse than ever before so playing with friends is the ONLY way to play rank now
@@Dave_of_Mordor
I've reached master 1600 twice in solo que. It can happen. It just takes a really long time and is super tedious.
65% winrate 👍🙏
As the old phrase says: Know yourself, and know your enemy.
Learn not just what your Pokemon can or could do, but also your opponent. One of the best ways to counter a play involves knowing what plays can be made in the first place. Easy example: rip Fire Spin Ho-Oh from farther away if they are level 13+ because Fire Spin+ automatically explodes after the shield breaks.
Having watched Jake for the past 3 years, I've learnt so much yet always had a feeling there was something he wasn't telling. I analysed every video, even bought a replica Chair but to no avail.
Then realised his secret, it was as plain as the nose on his face - or rather the moustache under the nose on his face.
I stopped shaving my upper lip and since then, my skills have skyrocketed.
Wanna get better? Get a mo', yo!
Tip: don't worry bout losing your lane, sometimes certain Pokemon are just better in the early game and fall of like crazy in the late game (Absol).
Just go get your free respawning experience to catch back up and stop taking fights that are almost guaranteed losses
im doing pretty well with sableye
I am half way through the video and saw the comment about playing pokemon ur good at vs meta that you are bad at. Wich I agree with 100% but that made me realise that I struggle with picking up new pokemon myself although i do want to learn new pokemon.
I tend to take them for a few practice match / solo challenge to learn the move sets. But when it comes to the actual games I keep going to the pokemon I am confident in. (These are mostly attackers or supports)
Does anyone have any tips? Do I just try with them in games or what should I do? Because If I don't play them I will never get better with them.
I love watching my kid play their cracked Tsareena. The opponents never see the KOs coming.
If you're good, the best way to win more is to jungle. Never let the clowns that are your teammates into the jungle. Jungle difference is almost impossible to overcome.
This is accurate. I'm new to mobas and I tend to play defenders and was going based on the lane recommendations. Learning how to jungle has been helpful.
Team synergy doesn’t matter but I do think having good team comps can play a crucial role in weather you win or not even though it’s still luck have a good team comp could help your gameplay
11:22 HEY, my gar is beast. I don't know what you're talking about.😡lol
honestly I have so much fun as a Wiggly main
Here is an advice I think it takes everyone to win if you see yourself out on distance not doing anything get yourself self back into the game and win if one person fails the entire team fails
okay so here's the real take on how to stop actually losing - get a 5 stack. In the last 5 games I crushed, killed, scored and got MVP every time, though we still lost to afks, not showing up for the objectives, inting, back-capping during Ray... I mean... people have some idea in general, they just hate to brain in the heat of fight, and they never react to comms
5 stack huh. I mean if that is what it takes to win sure..
Appreciate the effort 97% of pokemon unite players will never watch this video or any Pokemon unite guide video
The main thing: make sure you enjoy it. I do not enjoy Unite most of the time which is probably why I’m not doing well. I just still play it because I have nothing better to do
Also kudos to you for uploading so much. Just asking in case you respond, is Garchomp any good?
Yeah Garchomp is solid
@@spragels nice! My mains are Garchomp, lucario, and absol, but I’ve found I’m winning with Garchomp the most.
One of the most frustrating things is your teammates not understanding farming. I show up to Ray at lv 13+ in 90% of my games unless I’m playing exp share support (even then sometimes I make 13) and my team is constantly pinging me while I’m farming and they are taking bad fights spread all over the map.. like I WISH the devs did a better job of explaining the fact that you don’t need to be fighting for 80% of the match lol. If you lose a fight or an objective, just back off and go clear your side of the map before trying to engage again, doesn’t matter if it comes at the cost of some points in your goal or *even* losing a T2, if jungle and audinos are up I’m gonna be farming them instead of fighting the enemy team’s push because I’d rather be at 13 or 14 for Ray
being a really good ceruledge main (Not as good as other players prob) it really hurts our team when it gets taken cause when it get's taken its by a expert or great rank player I am veteran rank but I am good with ceruledge it fits my play style but when my other teammates use it its like the opssosite luckily I am thinking of getting blaziken not good with it but I am thinking about it to be my secondary pokemon incase the draft takes it or my team does plus if I practice with blaziken I can be amazing with it I found what works and blaziken is similar so soon I won't have o worry
I'm no pro at this game but as a fellow veteran rank ceruledge main when somebody picks it first and i see that theirs has leftovers and/or exp share my soul receives permanent damage
And this happens more often than i am comfortable with
I appreciate your suggestions
The reality is different I face players so dumb and such pain in the bum...
I get frustrated...
For instance I mostly play defender and my teammates jus lvl by eating farm and wont f help 😭
I have had 45.7% WR for a while 😭
But boy do i love duruladon, i try to pick what helps though. Your tips have helped i went up from 44%
I also stream. Not as much. But i do lol
I would like to see a video where you teach us how not to dive.
It feels like I either dive and feed the enemy or try to stay alive and farm only to have the enemy come as a pair and wipe me anyway
I'm on like a 25 lose streak and if it weren't for losing points being less than winning I would be down to veteran rank. I always get bad teammates
Ive played mobas and the main thing to keep in mind is picking fights you can win
It ain’t over until the Rayquaza sings.
can we stop this crap and just surrender? it's not that hard to gauge the competency of your team. if they're crap in the beginning of the game, they'll be crap at the end of the game. you will most likely do all the work, face rayquaza alone and ends up losing the game anyway. LEARN WHEN TO SURRENDER AND STOP WASTING OTHER PEOPLE TIME
As a Sableye. Never surrender. Play your best and take smart risky chances. You never know the score until the end.
i'm sorry to say this but Sableye is the one pokemon in this game I hate the most. it's almost a guaranteed that we will lose whenever it's on my team. also the "never surrender" advice is not a good one, especially now that players have gotten worse. if your team show incompetency in the beginning of the game, there is no chance for a comeback. they won't magically just become professional players by the time rayquaza comes out. you'll most likely do most of the work yourself and face rayquaza alone and loses, while your teammates pretend to look busy and away from the center. i think it's better to see how good your teammates are compare to the other team in the first 30 seconds. if you have a terrible team, leave for the jungle or just stop helping (it's better to do this in front of your team so they would want to quit when you click on the surrender button) and wait for the 5 minute mark to surrender
Im a returning player after spending 3 straight seasons in masters. Ive been struggling doing damage this season even when im active in so many fights
I slightly disagree with 10:08. Not because it isn't true, I just think the team still has a shot to take back the control of the game if everyone are still fairly healthy and/or still got their unite moves. There were many cases where the team can burst the enemies' shields down and ko them, then still have more than enough time to out score the opponent and there's nothing that they can do about it when their team is stuck in respawn jail
For me the whole if you're a supporter you support if you're a defender they want you to stand in a goal and if your speedster people believe you always have to take the middle and that you can't share. I'm a pretty relaxed person but when people will sit there hold energy full and try not to score. If two people go to jungle one gos up and the other go down and the can swap sides.
Yeah entirely true, watching educational content or high level content, taking notes and applying it to your gameplay works wonders. Watched spragels, teeds (at the very start when she made educational videos), chrisheroes, oceanic product teams like balance and applied it to my blastoise. Went straight to masters with 90% winrate back in season 3, season 4 maintained 80% winrate at 1800 mastwrs, by season 5 I maintained a 70% winrate experimenting with different pokemon and just having fun instead of only caring about wins. Now about comfort picks, yes they work even if they aren't meta, I took a break and came back after a year, and maintained a 70% winrate on blastoise last season even tho it was considered the worst tank in the game. To sum up just play what you want and if your struggling watch people who are good and giving advice then apply it to your ganeplay. (BTW everything I stated was 1tricking blastoise in soloQ, except season 5 where i experimented with different mon and had fun, so yes solo warriors and 1trick warriors can do it too)
Shorter answer get practice do your job learn the pokemon, find teammates if possible watch and learn from people better than you lastly don’t be shy to try new strats or builds lots of resources out there do the best you can you can’t control everyone or everything else things happened accept it move on
Anytime I see a heavy carry all rounder on my team, I’m going Blissey and pocketing them all match…I am typically a defender but willing to fill roles
@spragels do u have a vid on the macro aspects of the game im still struggling a bit with it
I just play carry Pokemon, have a mindset that I need to farm so hard so I can carry. On Rayquaza, I always attempt to pick-off enemies one by one, if my teammates doesn't want to play then we lose, if luckily they did then it's a win. Lastly don't get tilt easily.
Hey Spragels, can u like make a video abt sableye, and the way you should play, I was planning on buying it, I play mons based on your vids lol thx for tht😁👍
Advice. Know when to rush in , be patient
Jake, please start doing videos for Dragonball Project Multi. The game is a lot of fun and it brought in a lot of fans of the IP that aren't familiar with MOBA and could use your guidance!
I'm actually enjoying Urshifu surging strike but atm i'm using left overs, razor claw and muscle band. I know i need a better item over left overs but i lack survivability atm. I also havent used my only potion [because its all i have and idr how to]. I'm actually enjoying Urshifu alot. Same with sylveon. I hope they have a silvally sometime but i doubt they will due to how he is and it'll be difficult to balance without overpowering or over nerfing.
Play lapras and you win every single game 👍 (just don't use perish song)
Learn which pokemon are good in lane and which ones are good in center. When I started playing the game I played lane greninja because I don’t like center and didn’t know any better. Now because I like lane I started learning defenders and all rounders thar are good in lane.
We need thus to be shown to my goal getter talonflame
Iam better at this game, because im learning a lot from your Videos. Sadly my winrate isnt so high. I get too often stupid teammates, even if i give my best its often not enough to win the game. Its frustrating
ngl I when I first started the game I kinda saw it as Capture the Flag, so ALL I DID WAS GUARD THE GOALZONE. I also mostly played Gren and Chomp 💀
What is better for competitive play switch or mobile?
Much love Spragels!
Sir the maine problem is "Trust" playing with random team players...
1. I was playing with slowbro and used "Telekenesis move" and I am catching thr enemy pokemon but they are not attacking it..
They just ran away or they waiting to release oppo pokemon..
2. They playing their own game no unity with team members..
Game name is pokemon unite but they are not supporting teammates.. 😭
this vid helped thx :D
Just wondering, how do you ping “thanks” on phone for unite? I’d like to thank my teammates but idk where the button is, it’s not with the “let’s split up” “now’s the time to score” ping options or at least I don’t see it there
How do I get teammates that aren’t potatoes
You play jungle because you want the exp for yourself I play jungle because I don't trust anyone to do the role correctly. We are not the same.
Using choice specs, wise glasses on greninja, 😂 good old days.
What's the best way to find consistent people to play with? I've been a part of a few teams, but they fall apart sooner than later. I really want to be on a determined team so we can learn each other's play styles and fill in the gaps.

One time I was playing tsareena, my team was really demotivated, I was able to steal zapados but my team didn't even dare to try. We could have won since it was 446 - 586 and my team had 30+ energy saved up😢
Somehow I didn't even get mvp
Is reaching 1600 with 63% win rate is great in solo q or I overrated my self?
Idk that’s around where I’m at so I’m gonna assume it’s solid since almost every team I get in solo q is an inch away from stress induced heart failure
@@Rich_Unhinged I always consider my team as a bots so need for me I have to carry, I still have mime jungler, ppl with 10K damge but I ended up wins it's all about how to get ray but yeah I agree with u for me I won't to hit 1600 again is reallly an agoney it's like hitting master is enough.
