After completing the tutorial of Pokemon Unite, players unlock the ability to use Battle Items. The first of these is the potion, and while it is certainly useful, there are tons of other options available to players as well. Each of these Battle Items is useful in its own right, and knowing what they all do and how to get them will be key to players' success in the game, especially in high level ranked Unite Battles. Including the potion, there are eight different Battle Items for players to choose between. It's important to choose one that supports each Pokemon's skills and abilities, as this will greatly improve the player's chances of helping their team.
Unlocking Battle Items in Pokemon Unite is actually quite easy, although it can be a bit time consuming. Every single one of these items is earned from simply increasing trainer level, so players can focus on grinding Battle Points if they want to unlock them faster. Players can find what each Battle Item does and at what level they unlock below.
Pokemon Unite - Potion
The simplest Battle Item of all is the Potion, and as one might expect, it restores a portion of the Pokemon's HP when used (12.5% Max Health). This item can be used once every 30 seconds. Although this is the first Battle Item unlocked at Trainer Level 4, it is always a solid choice.
Pokemon Unite - X Attack
The X Attack item boosts both the Pokemon's Attack and Special Attack Stat for 5 seconds, allowing for great burst damage. This item can be used once every 40 seconds, and is typically best for Attackers or Speedsters. X Attack is unlocked at Trainer Level 7.
Pokemon Unite - X Speed
Next, players will unlock the X Speed Battle Item at Trainer Level 8, and can use it to boost their Pokemon's movement speed for a short time once every 50 seconds. What's more, it's impossible to slow a Pokemon that is under the effects of X Speed, making it great as a getaway tool.
Pokemon Unite - Fluffy Tail
The Fluffy Tail Battle Item stuns wild Pokemon in its area of effect, increasing the player's damage against them by 1.5x. It can be used once every 25 seconds. This item is unlocked at Trainer Level 10.
Pokemon Unite - Eject Button
One of the best Battle Items in the game is Eject Button, as it allows the player's Pokemon to teleport to a nearby spot once every 55 seconds. This item is unlocked at Trainer Level 11.
Pokemon Unite - Slow Smoke
Slow Smoke is great for support builds, as it slows down enemy Pokemon in the range. This item can be used once every 40 seconds and is unlocked at Trainer Level 13.
Pokemon Unite - Full Heal
Players unlock the Full Heal Battle Item at Trainer Level 14, allowing them to remove status effects from their Pokemon and render them immune to status effects for a time. This can be used once every 40 seconds.
Pokemon Unite - Goal Getter
The final Battle Item in Pokemon Unite is the Goal Getter, unlocked at Trainer Level 16. This doubles the speed in which the player can score goals, and can be used once every 120 seconds. Scoring goals in Pokemon Unite is always important, so this is a solid item choice.
Pokemon Unite is available now on Switch and releases in September on Mobile.
