In Pokémon UNITE, you don’t win by knocking out the most opponents, but by scoring the most points. Understanding how Aeos energy circulates and how goal zones work is the first step to winning.
Preparation
Before each battle, a one-minute phase lets you choose your Pokémon, your held items and your battle item. Only one player per team can pick a given Pokémon. This is the time to check that the team mixes roles: Attackers, Defenders, Supporters.Aeos energy and the Unite Ball
Knocking out a wild or opposing Pokémon earns Aeos energy, stored in your Unite Ball. Its capacity depends on your level:
- levels 1 to 8: up to 30 points;
- levels 9 to 11: up to 40 points;
- levels 12 to 15: up to 50 points.
If your Unite Ball is full, the energy falls to the ground as yellow orbs that anyone can pick up. If you are knocked out, you lose part of your energy.
Scoring a goal
To score, you must stay in an opposing goal zone long enough for the goal to register. The more points you carry, the longer it takes. Any attack you receive or action you take during this time interrupts the goal: you keep your points, but have to start over.Defense
Your team's zones
They continuously restore your Pokémon’s HP: this is where to fall back.
Offense
Opposing zones
Each goal weakens them; once a zone has received enough points, it is destroyed and you have to aim for the next one.
Healing

Along with your team’s zones, they are the main way to recover HP during the match.
Wild Pokémon and the legendary
Wild Pokémon regularly appear on the map. Others, more powerful, show up at specific spots and give big advantages to the team that knocks them out. Near the end of the match, depending on the stage, a legendary Pokémon appears: defeating it can turn around a match that was going badly.The end of the battle
