Pokémon Unite Pawmot Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Pawmot Guide will now discuss how to play and achieve a perfect game plan for the Pokémon across the game. The following division has two sections of the early and late game, which players must make sure to read till the end.
Early Game
Prioritize farming up in the early game so Pawmot could evolve to be much stronger in the arena. In terms of laning, players could go to the Top/Bottom Lane, or they can even opt to use Pawmot in the Jungle lane. Start with Nuzzle for strong lane paralysis or Scratch to clear wild apioms much faster.
Use boosted basics between skills to trigger your passive ability’s healing and damage. Prioritize securing the farm and scoring goals alongside teammates. Time Nuzzle to peel or set up kills, then rotate quickly to support side lanes. Maintain presence around key wild Pokémon and deny enemy farm to build an early game advantage.
Prioritise helping your team’s attacker to farm efficiently and take down early epic Pokémon like the Rotom as soon as possible. This would help them level up as fast as possible, take down enemy Pokémon, and score the goals needed to seal the win for your team.
Late Game
To excel more in the arena while using Pawmot, it is advisable to understand the strengths of some of your abilities. Choose Thunder for reliable ranged poke and slows, or Supercell Spam for aggressive dives. At level 7, Volt Switch provides excellent engagement and disengagement, while Mach Punch enhances dueling potential.
Chain abilities with boosted basics to maximize Iron Fist stacks. Unlock Zip Zap Full-Charge Spark to dive directly onto enemy carries, unleashing AoE damage and forcing team repositioning. Fighter Mode activates afterward, so weave boosted basics with Mach Punch or Supercell Spam for maximum burst.
While moving Volt Switch, it can be used to chase weakened targets or escape after a Unite engage. So, do choose according to your preferred game plan. Pawmot’s Unite move can also be very useful during the Groudon fight to kill and steal, as it can help him burst down the enemy target around him.
Positioning of Pawmot
The best path for Pawmot would be the top or bottom Lane. Players should prioritise farming Aipoms and Audinos to level up efficiently. The cluster of Combees and Vespiqueen should be hunted down as much as possible to allow for increased exp and easy level-up.
