Given that it is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), each of the game’s fighters will fit into a designated role, whether they are attackers, defenders, speedsters, supporters, or even all-rounders.
For the best chance at winning a match, teams will need to ensure that they have diverse representation from across each of these groups. For example, it is not advisable to have a lineup comprised solely of heavy hitters, as this would leave no one left to provide healing or to take on more agile opponents.
To help you balance your teams properly, and select the right fighter for each situation, Newsweek has compiled a list of all playable characters that have been confirmed for Pokemon Unite so far.
This roster breakdown includes a description of each fighter’s respective attributes, their special “Unite Moves” and (where applicable) their evolution path. It is worth noting that the list is not necessarily exhaustive—as additional pokemon will be added to the game at a later date—but, at the time of writing, this is everybody that has been confirmed.
Incidentally, if you start Pokemon Unite on the Nintendo Switch this Wednesday, any fighters that you unlock can be transferred over to the mobile version when that launches in September. To find out more about the game’s cross-progression functionality, read our in-depth explanation here.
