Best Supporter builds
Your duty as a Supporter is to help keep your teammates alive and assist with critical KO setups. Whether you're administering much-needed heals to a wounded ally or hitting an enemy with a clutch crowd control effect, Supporters can make or break a matchup. Assist your allies when it counts and share in the glorious victory.
Mr. Mime (Special Melee Attacks)
Mr. Mime is one of the most unique characters in Pokémon Unite. This Supporter has some small potential for ally healing, but truly shines by barricading and blocking enemy forces with Barrier walls — an excellent balance of high HP and impressive damage.
| Mr. Mime | Best build |
|---|---|
| Moves | ○ Confusion (Lv 4): A strong psychic blast that damages enemies while knocking them back. Pushing a Pokémon into a wall with this move adds huge damage and stuns them. ○ Barrier (Lv 6): Create a translucent wall that enemy Pokémon cannot pass through. Use this as an escape tool or to set up devastating attacks with Confusion. |
| Held Items | ○ Wise Glasses: This item has the potential to greatly boost Mr. Mime's Sp. Atk. ○ Shell Bell: Increases Mr. Mime's Sp. Atk and also reduces ability cooldowns. ○ Scope Lens: Boosts Critical-Hit Rate and Critical-Hit Damage. |
| Battle Item | Potion: Mr. Mime has a great deal of HP, and Potion helps take advantage of that. |
| Path | Bottom: Pair with a good All-Rounder or Attacker on the bottom path. |
Wigglytuff (Special Melee Attacks)
This fairy Pokémon is a fantastic Supporter due to its unique and impressive kit of abilities. Sing your foes to sleep and watch your allies take advantage of their slumber. Wigglytuff's Unite Move Star Recital is also an incredible way to clear status conditions and shield teammates.
| Wigglytuff | Best build |
|---|---|
| Moves | ○ Double Slap (Lv 6): A powerful slap attack that deals damage and decreases the enemy's movement speed. ○ Sing (Lv 4): Sing not only decreases the enemy's movement speed, but eventually puts opposing Pokémon to sleep, which leaves them unable to move as well as decreasing their Defense and Sp. Defense. |
| Held Items | ○ Leftovers: Leftovers slowly restore HP over time when outside of combat. ○ Rocky Helmet: This item increases the Pokemon's HP and Defense while also returning damage to enemy's who attack the wearer. ○ Shell Bell: Increases Sp. Atk damage, decreases cooldowns, and recovers health when damaged. |
| Battle Item | X Speed: A great chase item that allows Wigglytuff to set up combos with Sing. |
| Path | Bottom: Pair with a good Attacker on the bottom path. |
