As we move into August, we’ve got a new Pokemon Unite tier list to help you pick the right ‘mon for the job!
Pokemon Unite has been out for a couple of weeks now and the game is really coming into its own. Despite major concerns that Pokemon Unite might be Pay to Win, the MOBA is a breath of fresh air for the genre.
But as balanced as Pokemon Unite is, there are always going to be a few Pokemon that rise to the head of the pack.
And despite it being early in the game’s lifespan, we have a tier list to help you decide who is worth unlocking early in the game.
Make sure to choose the best Pokemon Unite starter accordingly!

And it’s definitely worth unlocking Zeraora for free in Pokemon Unite while you still can to help bolster your roster with a top-tier pick!
