reviews
I decided to install this despite the numerous bad reviews. The main complaint others have is bad match ups. So far I have yet to experience this, but will update if I do. The visuals are lovely, there's always something to do, more rewards to claim. You aren't limited to energy timers like a lot of mobiles. I have a bug that makes my screen black out after matches sometimes, making me restart, but that's it. And I'm on a real dinky phone lol. Fun game, will keep it around for a while

I find the game a much more simple type of MOBA. And i play it as such. It offers some customization for your build, but doesn't even compare to normal MOBA's. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't force you to go by the meta, or look up builds of certain Pokemons (though you can). I don't feel pressured to keep playing so i don't miss out on any drastic balance changes. Its what i want for a MOBA. Simple, yet challenging.

Really disappointed! The matchmaking is bad (teammates are mostly non-cooperative) and the game slows down so much during the match that it gets ruined, even though I have a stable and strong internet connection! Additionally, I can't play the offline mode because the screen freezes upon pressing the option. I have lost several matches consecutively already, thanks to these problems.

Overall, it's a good game. Although, there is one problem that I found and it's about your Surrender System. In short, if your enemy surrenders, that should mean you win right? Actually, no. Because even if your enemy surrenders, as long as they have more points than your team, they still win in the end. It's rather aggravating and cheating because the enemy can just surrender any time they want as long as they know they're on the lead. You guys should really fix as it's cheating and unfair.

It's very fun! There annoying is things about the game. when you reach expert, it gets hard to the point where everyone on the other team teams while your team does nothing to help. Also, when your doing an match and then you want to exit out of it it immediately gets you onto an team. Overall, it's very fun. What makes it even better is the way it's an work in progress!

The game is very good and I really enjoy it. But there are a few problems; It takes way to long for it to start a match, it shows estimated time alot less but ends up taking 1 or 2 minutes. Another problem is that you get very less coins from matches and most of the untie licensees are very expensive.

Huge fan of this game and find the various systems brilliant. However, as some other players have mentioned, the ranking system is not well thought-out: you can be MVP on the winning team with nearly 300 points scored and gain just 20 ranking points, but be the top player on the losing team and lose 85 ranking points. There is little consideration for how well individual players do on either team, making it incredibly frustrating for ranked matches.

I don't enjoy MOBA much. There is no sense of team-play among players. I end up defending the goalpost all by myself while 4 of the opponents destroy me along with the goalpost. Could you add 'quit/exit game' option for single player? Also, there should be a way to strategize with the team players before the match starts. Apart from that, the game is good and enjoyable most of the time. Good Job!

I think the recent update has a bug, specifically to the Hoopa event where everytime I clicked on the Ingredients, I can't click the Claim nor the exit button. So I was forced to click the home and restart the game, again and again. On the other side, I like how the new update on events became organized and eye-pleasing. I just hope the bugs will be fixed soon.

Took me a while to get into this game but I've really enjoyed it so far. The two things I want improved in the game is the quick chat in the pre game lobby and during the match to have more options more consistent balance patches. Definitely a stricter penalty system for people who go idle or leave during the match as this can literally mean you lose entirely

Fun overall. It's like a quick league of legends. Ranked needs fixing. Lanes need to be assigned. Before the match begins, players should be required to lock something in. Anything at all would help. At least there'd be an idea of what others are going to do. I can't stand having 4 teammates not declare a role and then find 3 people choose top and no centers. It's painfully frustrating. Also, death timers should be reworked. There's no reason you should miss the last minute of the game.
noname346661, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
After a rough start, the game is getting more and more exciting. The match ups are a bit of a problem, but it's part of playing with randoms, to a certain degree. 4/5 rn is because, not only a few bugs and connection errors that take too long to reestablish, but also the lack of pokemons as Speedsters and Supports, besides the still rough reporting system and fair play point reduction. That being said, it's becoming quite addictive again and I'm glad it is. Keep improving!

Terrible experience if you want to play solo. A player 41% win rate can get to "masters" the highest rank, and no matter how high your mmr/elo, you can get matched with teammates that play like absolute beginners. Also, the ui is poorly designed; it is so easy to choose the wrong move in the heat of the moment because of how the buttons overlap, and doing so can basically ruin an entire match.

Pokemon are unbalanced. Some are OP, some are simply not enough. Matchmaking takes longer than it did in the beginning, I guess many stopped playing this. The social aspect of the game is really weak. It's hard to find friends and communicate in game with teammates. Gameplay gets repetitive after a while and there are no incentives to keep playing because the game doesn't feel competitive /serious enough. I reached top rank very easily very fast and then didn't have motivation to do it again.

Graphics are great! Controls are easy if you are a MOBA player. Its like a tower defense but more of a basketball themed like tower. Fun to play. One thing that I like is the character customization. Of course there is a skin system which they called holowear for pokemons. Theres a lot of events. Item upgrades was a kind of bias especially when you are a new player and your enemies are pros and has a lot of upgrades than yours, but its fine. Strategy is the key. Overall, its an awesome game! ;)
noname626955, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
This game is enjoyable and frustrating at the same time. The one thing is that knocks it down is that the matchmaking is still terrible in rank matches. Half of the time with it is the pairing with my or opponents side are not in the same skill level, some are worse and some are better. It doesn't make it better when you fight a team of 5 in a solo, duo, or trio queue or the mixture of both. That is the main frustrating thing about it, but overall, the game is great and balanced for most part.
noname302669, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The game is impossible to solo carry by nature. It heavily punishes solo players, the system of scoring points and defending goals makes it impossible to win by yourself. If you try to score a goal and your team don't know how to defend you'll never win. And if you defend you'll still lose because there's 2 lanes to score and you can't be at both. There's no itemisation unlike other mobas so you can never capitalize on any lead. Only thing it has going for it is that it's a Pokemon game.
noname159694, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The game is great really, it just has a ton of annoying bugs that keep it from getting any better than it is right now. One of which would be the update bug I am facing right now. Whenever I update the game, I always have to reinstall it because it won't start after the update. I am just left with a quick black screen and then the game crashes. Please fix this bug and I will give my rating another star.
noname857389, the 07/04/2022

Players need alot of push to their ranks. We need fixed player Vs player who have same experience, I feel like im playing with bots who literally lag or something. Rewards, graphics, controls, everything amazing except for the things I was talking about up above. Season pass should literally be free even if FTP has loads because we work hard to reach lvl 60 and end up getting the trash rewards. You should keep the recent quick battle mode, it's amazing.
noname372812, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The game idea and everything is great, however my issue is at the start of the battle the game asks to sign in with my Google account and for permissions. It takes 2-5 minutes to do this since the pages take forever to load then I'm super far behind in fights which is just unfair. Also after a fight and I try to go to the main menu it just makes my whole screen go black, but I can still hear the music and press around.
noname563440, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
A suggestion for the developers. Please raise the penalty cost for those who afk. It would be really helpfull. 10 points deduction won't help anything with the already bad match up the system had. I don't think the classic mode match up are based on ranks. I'm at veteran, yet still matched up with low leveled players, who does not even know their roles. It gets frustrating the more i play plus the trolls. This game is supposed to release stress, yet it only adding stress while playing it.

First, I have a network problem when I want to open the game. the app just stops at the first loading screen, never finishes. Even though my internet network has no problems. I have to restart the phone first to solve this problem. So when I finished playing this game and then closed it, did something else, then wanted to open the game again, I had the same problem over and over. This is very inconvenient. Second, can you add a chat system while playing, not just a quick chat. It would be

________________________________________________
This is a wonderful game, I play it every day and maybe a little too much, honestly. I am excited for when they add many more characters later, because right now it's a weird group. To name a few, there's Mr. Mime, Garchop, Cinderace, and Absol. Very strange and seemingly random, but still good. The game rarely glitches unless there's bad internet, and the graphics are very good and clean. Sure it sucks when you get a bad team, but that's not the games fault.
noname4473, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
Matchmaking kills this game. In ranked your team doesn't know what it's doing and if you play against one that does then you might as well forfeit if your team even votes to. In standard battles at least 1 teammate goes idle. It's not bad to lose but it's frustrating when your teams not even trying. They go to the opponent at their goal zone and try to fight a 2 v 1 with a major disadvantage. This is in mid to high ranked. Matchmaking needs an overhaul.
noname114147, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The game is very detailed. The pokemon models are beautiful and perfect. The effects of lights, shadows, powers are very well done. I only have one complaint: The offline mode doesn't work. For me the screen freezes and it doesn't go back to normal anymore. Please, fix this error.
noname84435, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
This game needs a lot of work to do. First of all, all the stats are purely qualitative. I haven't read a single quantitative value written in the stats description. Not for the moves, the passives, the base stats, the held items, nothing. Second, the in game interface is terrible. There is no fixed joystick so the accuracy of movement is abysmal. The upgrade move button overlaps with the battle item button. Third, this is a subjective one. The colors are so tacky, even toddlers hate it.
noname983549, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
I have a full connection and yet when I play ranked match, everything is going well until the choosing of Pokémon but then after the game is about to start, it freezes and sometimes glitches as well due to which it looks like I became afk and we lose most of the times. This happens sometimes and I cannot play it properly so plz fix this. Also I cleared the cache but it still happens.
noname999370, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The voice chat is an improvement in the communication part, but is rarely used. A chat function would be much better, just add some censor to prevent cursing. The matchmaking had gotten worse though. I used to get matches within seconds but now it takes at least a minute, and even then I get matched with AIs despite being ranked 'Master'. It's a big inconvenience and a dampener to the fun of the game, please fix this.

Edit: Game crashes again with the new update! :/ EDIT: The game now doesn't open after the newest update... It was working then after a few hours, it can't be opened... ORIGINAL: The developers made a right choice with the 10 hour maintenance! The release was smooth and no crashing happened. The gameplay is wonderful and controls are simple to use. I think they transitioned the controls well. A good game for Pokémon fans and people who want to pass the time.

Addictive game. But usually lag at ranked matches. Character keeps freezing and very slow response from moves. Quick matches are great, haven't faced any issue so far. Everything else is fantastic, just utterly disappointed with how I'm losing ranked matches due to lag issues.
noname773951, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
The game is exciting and fun, but the player match-making really sucks. You've got to hustle your way up the ranking system or get dragged down by your lower-ranked teammates (most likely). Also, sometimes the controls become unresponsive or delayed. Such a waste of a game with great potentials. Update: The game got worse. It suck!
noname94155, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
I would like to talk about the fair play points. So with some players on this game when they play they are on a bad device and sometimes it will close the app and you cant get back in until it's too late then we get a penalty, which I don't believe is fair to players with bad quality devices. Like with my device I am on currently, when I go to get on it's a bit laggy and slow but I play anyways except for when I play and it decides to close the game.
noname721179, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
PROS - The game has really good potential. Probably one one the best games to introduce new players to MOBA games. CONS - 8/10 games suffer disconnection issues. - UI is clunky and has very low response time (like 1-1.5 seconds after a button press) even when on non-arena screens. - Really frustrating to come back to play after an experience of game freeze at pivotal moment in the game. Hope the dev team would bring it back in good shape.
noname942146, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
Great game overall but please do something about the characters. They're not balanced at all, for exemple Lucario is just broken while some others like Cramorant and Trevenant (witch is sad because I love them) are garbage. And please improve the switch version and the interface. Just checking the skins of a character can cause the game to crash. I love this game but please do something.
noname456431, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
I wish there were a leave the match option after which the necessary points would be deducted along with the surrender option. It's a bit irritating to just close the game and then reopen because the teammates aren't doing anything of value..... Other than that, game's good, no major flaws I that can see it point out. Good game

I gave this game a 5 but since the last update I can't use it (I have updated it and uninstalled and installed it 2 times thinking that could fix the error but it didn't). It says "network error" anytime I try to play it, it doesn't matter if I'm using my WiFi, my data or someone's else WiFi, it won't charge. Even if it says it's 100% charged, it never reaches to the "START" screen
noname197814, the 07/04/2022
________________________________________________
-The UI post battle when calculating points seems a bit err, not pleasing to the eyes. Always more room for improvement. Not really much to say about the unique mechanics if the game. Theres also nothing more complex about it at the same time, which makes it a really simple game and you really have to rely on your pokemons skills and held item and not your own player skills since you cant do complex builds cause there is no item build feature in game. Overall its a great game.

A great game and it's improving with every update. There have been many fun, seasonal events and there's a good variety of characters to play with. Some characters seem more powerful than others and some roles also could use new additions. Many people in these reviews complaining about ranked matches/"unfair" matchmaking need to understand that you can't expect to win every game. You just need to learn to play better and adapt to different situations in match.

So far I'm loving this game on my android phone. However on my iPad it keeps crashing and I can figure out why. I've tried all sorts of "fixes" from a quick Google search and nothing it working. Really annoying because I'd like to be able to play with my kids but they keep getting "fair play penalties" because they go after mid battle when the game crashes! It's super annoying!

Date: 9/6/2025 I have been experiencing sudden drop rates in all of my games, it wasnt like this in previous season. Sometimes the game is unresponsive and it wasn't even a connectivity issue. These issues had been causing me losing games because the game doesn't recognise my inputs. I'm talking about my character moving on its own even when my fingers are off the screen, while my wifi/mobile internet is in full health. Items not activating despite not stunned. I am at lost.

I'm not really into these types of Games but this one is Really Addictive other than needing more Character customization options like skin colors and hairstyles. It plays really well, and the progress is set nicely for beginners. I've been playing for a week, and I've liked Charizard's play style. I'm keeping this Game i really Enjoy passing time with it.

Even though I am not the hugest fan of Pokémon, I love this game! It is very addicting, and it is very different from a traditional Pokémon game. There are only a few downsides. 1 is that some Pokémon I feel can be too overpowered, or I'm just bad at the game. 2 it sometimes can connect back to the wifi when my wifi is good, and this causes me to automatically die or choose an ability automatically. And 3, idling it's so annoying when your teammates just leave a match or just stand doing nothing

Pokemon unite is one my most fav games but there's a problem, which is the game laggs for no reason. Especially after the entering a game mode , ranked or casual. Even after I went out used airplane mode and entering the game again, it's still lagging. The attack moves, changing moving direction, everything is delayed Even when having good internet connection.
noname92834, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
The game used to be good, back when it first released. But over time, they filled it with bloat and extra features that make it overwhelming. I want to spend all my time in battles, not spending 50% of it scrolling through endless menus to claim rewards. The new emblem system adds unnecessary complexity to a game which had simplicity (compared to other MOBAs) as one of its strengths. Sadly, I am no longer interested in this game. But at least I was able to make a really cool looking Trainer!
noname708376, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
albeit. The game itself is fun and the gameplay is very similar to LOL Wildrift. But other than that. Zero customization without purchases with real-world money. Zero incentive for free-to-play players. The game has so many different systems in place it is hard to figure out what's good or not without going into a match and getting slammed or slamming. If you can that is. Games take years to find whichever the game mode. the game seems rather dead unless big updates get shipped. not worth.
noname645325, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
The game is very good!! Fun and nice graphics!! But the waiting is sooo much. Waiting for matchmaking and then too much waiting for choosing pokemon and extra waiting to load. It takes around two minutes to start the game and you feel you just wasting your time without playing. Also too much features, gifts and using things in different tabs. It would be nice if it was a little more simple with these inventories and achievements
noname73462, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
game is near perfect. the gameplay feels smooth and not many pokemon are super overpowered. the items are good and building held item combos for pokemon is fun. my only criticisms are that the microtransactions are annoying, pretty much every good cosmetic is locked behind a paywall. but there isn't any pay to win aspects. I also don't like how there isn't a solo queue mode for ranked. I constantly lose games because teammates can't play as a team and I get slammed by a 3 stack on the enemyteam
noname950268, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
It's ok for the iconic characters they have added so far, other pokemon are missing, geodude, onyx etcetera. The game is botted as well and has the exact same issues as l.o.l. when it died off, bot accounts and the toxic players, join your team and do nothing so you lose no matter how well you play. Nice idea, but ruined really quick by not dealing with the issues. Edit, the offline mode saved the day, it's easy, but allows you to play if network disc, also kids can enjoy that mode.
noname297281, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
It's a fun game, but the servers are TERRIBLE, I've tried multiple different wifis and my mobile data, but it continues to have issues just collecting rewards on the home screen, it's worse when in a game. "Reconnecting to server..." then I switch to mobile data, it works for 30 seconds, then I switch to Wifi, it works for 2 minutes and repeat. Offline play is good, but it's too easy, so I just wish there was atleast a difficulty adjustment for the AI. Definitely a 5 star if servers were good.
noname505670, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
The game is so good, but at the same time, the new modes/stadiums are way too unbalanced, when you're a starter, then suddenly the "first to 500" stadium is so unbalanced that it's a higher chance you would face a lot of buffed up players, having much better than you, even your team is jacked by obviously telling through their appearances. You'd die too easily, and the other players in the unite battle are literally bombarding the whole area, a chance to be spawn knocked out, ultra unbalanced.
noname158854, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
Love this game, though I play it on the switch. It's my first moba and Ive played it daily since I first started almost a year ago. And in case anyone is worried- it is NOT a pay to win game. Yes you can purchase things with real money, but it's all cosmetics. Everything else that effects your actual ability to play the game well has to be won by playing (like the tickets you use to purchase item enhancers). If you like Pokémon and haven't tried this out yet I definitely encourage you to!

I'm a returning player. the game hasn't gotten any better or worse gameplay wise I think. There's is annoying out of game unlockable medals to boost stats which are dumb but there's more variety in Pokemon. The UI is even worse than before. It's borderline unusable. I had (I think) 14 pop ups today before I was given control of the menu. There's tons and tons of new menus, most of them do the same: clutter up the UI and introduce some type of new currency for an event. play wild rift instead

Great game. 5 star for the last few months. But whatever update the did has been messing with the game play (at least for me, a samsung). At first I though it was my signal but this is happening every single game after the new content release, even at full bars. It starts off great but I begin to lag after a min or two and then my pokemon is just going and doing whatever after a while. Very fustrating. Will update if this ever gets fixed.

from the first impressions i wasnt impressed, as the game isnt as polished as wild rift graphics and movement feeling wise. but gameplay wise its fairly fun due to its simplicity and fast paced action, also allows for a decent amount of customization item wise, stat wise and movepool/gameplay wise. ill have to play this game for longer to see if it has any major glaring issues. if i see anything bad ill update my review. for now a 5/5.

The game is no doubt good but the matchmaking isn't good at all. Why only best players come in the matches. Match with the same skill players. Also everything is just paid. Nothing is free at all. And whenever I play with random. Only low skill players and bots will come. I am playing this game for 4 years and seriously you guys have to work on matchmaking.
noname810788, the 18/09/2025
________________________________________________
My honest review of Pokemon unite- Pokémon Unite is a fun and engaging MOBA with a strong player base and exciting matches. But the UI feels slow, delays in every task. Loading times are long, matchmaking also takes time, and lag affects the experience. Animations and effects outside matches could be more polished. With improvements in UI speed, stability, and visuals, this game can become one of the best MOBAs.

Unplayable trash. Extremely buggy. I can't even join matches 99% of the time. I tried rebooting my phone/game and clearing the cache in the game (which then required me to redownload the 5GB resource package AGAIN). Support only ever replied with an automated message about reducing lag (which is NOT THE ISSUE). I've managed to join 10 matches in 8 hours. Unplayable trash with no support.

It improved a lot. I no longer lose connection, I like how voice chat can be disabled so I don't hear the crybabies insulting me instead of having fun, and there are interesting events constantly. It still has way too many paid only content such as holowear, trainer clothes, etc. I also wish coins were easier to get, but I just got my Ho Oh today so I probably won't need to buy more pokemon anytime soon.
