I understand that Leftovers heals... I understand that Rocky Helm hurts an enemy that hits me... I understand that Assault Vest gives me a Sp. Attack shield.... I am Sableye... - Every Teammate on Solo Queue

People still don't know the difference between Attack and Sp. Attack😢

Once you learn how all items work the game actually gets more fun as you can try to make your own builds that can work (and not troll)

[BlazeStar]

Switching items around to get an Energy Amp for Meowscarada was what changed my rank going from Ultra to Master. When you stop caring about what the community considers to be "optimal" for a pokémon and focus on making a build that's optimal with the way YOU use your pokémon, it'll make everything easier.

Just don't use Special Attack held items on pokémon who is Attack and vice versa. You'll be like if you went in with no held items.

They hated him, for he spoke the truth

[idunnowhatimdoin]

Yeah it's kinda sad to see that even in the math cord, where the rules explicitly state not to do this, people still share opinions as facts without actual number analysis to support them, and act like one item or set or items *_HAS_* to be run because it's the meta and anything else is sub-optimal.

[arielbessler]

I've been getting a lot of laughs from my friends by playing support Pikachu. It seems dumb at first, but its actually super fun. I can help my lane partner level and do damage? Yes please!
Energy Amp, curse incense, and exp share.
Its fun, i promise.

[brooklynnbailes]

I know if I’m gonna win or lose a match in solos due to items if we lose and everyone has the right items then it was just simply no one was working together or the other team was just better! Happy to see you trying to help others learn these things it still helps me!

[RamzaBeoulves]

I think it's a major design flaw that the game doesn't make it clearer which Pokemon use ATK vs SP.ATK and doesn't group items based on those stats
A first time player shouldn't even have to wonder if Pikachu benefit from Scope Lens or how many pairs of sunglasses Garchomps wants to rock (none)
They should also give new players Focus Band, Resonant Guard and Buddy Barrier instead of Leftover and Assault Vest

[Moster]

If you ran for president or started a cult and this video was your campaign, I would follow you with blind loyalty. This needed to be said!

[Belesprit]

Now we just need the devs to acknowledge the problem and tell the community. Maybe they could make a guide that was required?

[vazpo]

Somehow, switching items didn't stop me from dying at minute 2:10 while trying to score 10 points in the enemy second base.

[FalcnPWNCH]

Sometimes you gotta say it out loud because your average multiplayer-players fragile ego wouldn't handle it and it's easy to reflect the blame outwards, at some point you have to reflect on things and *_realize sometimes it's simply a skill-issue and you need to learn the game_* - Mega Mewtwo-brainrot was basically two perfect examples of this, because the characters were so ridiculous that they simply abolished the need for skill as you could literally the play the character with one hand and dominate the game, post the havoc of Mega Mewtwo X & Y meta's most if not all pokemon released were at some point condemned for being bad or underpowered, because they actually required more skill and active input than the Mewtwo duo

[Memington]

I posted on the Unite subreddit recently about using Rocky Helmet and people absolutely crucified me. They wouldn't accept that against a team of 5 physical attackers, it actually provided a sizable defense boost (esp early game)

[eddyGuerrero]

Now please get together with all the other Pokemon unite creators and make a complete in depth college course level video on the EXP. Share item so people stop pinging me when I’m trying to help them level up.

[nizar]

i agree, bad item is indicator that those players gonna do some maniac things in the game, it's perfectly okay to play "sub-optimal" build, but i also wouldn't expect much from a decidueye using glasses, or more like, i expect them to do some crazy things in the match

[ellyjockey]

I ran curse bangle on umbreon snarl and crustle stealth rock. Most would say this is... not optimal... but I definitely thought I was cooking.

[aleczanderlane]

You know what Jake? You're so right. I'm gonna go play my tank Decidueye build now.

[berserk]

I run razor claw on Machamp, because of Machop’s bulk up. In early game, using bulk up will give you the extra damage from razor claw, it’s a way to be hyper offensive and punish the enemy team. If you can start stacking, because you won the first lane skirmish that can be huge. I also once saw a razor claw Pikachu and he slayed the whole game. Idk if he was using the razor claw to perma-slow them in-between attacks, but it definitely worked.
