Pokémon Unite Zeraora Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Zeraora guide includes the perfect game plan for the early and late game during the Unite battles.
Early Game
Zeraora has an amazing attack power. In the course of the early game, players should focus on heading to the Central Area and farm as much as they can to level up faster, so they can get an edge over the opponents. The more a player farms, the more edge you will get in 1v1 and 1v2 fights. One should use Zeraora’s speed to gank and pick on enemies in the bottom and top lane and finish them off.
This would help the team in scoring points and leaving the opponents behind, in the early game. One must remember to farm as much as one can in the early game. This is the best time to start dominating. One must not over commit himself. Therefore, items like eject and full health are useful, to avoid dying.
Late Game
Zeraora’s late game is beast-like. If one has perfected the early game, it’s gonna be really easy from here on. One must pick their opponents, and finish them off. This will leave the scoring to your team, get all the objectives done and outdo your opponents. Zerora will participate in team fights and finish opponents one by one, as his every third basic attack lets him heal himself.
Thus, it can help him to stay in battle for a longer duration, dominating the battle. Items like eject and full health must be used at an appropriate time, as dying in late-game can turn the tide and the result may tilt in a negative direction.
Positioning of Zeraora
Zeraora is to be played in the central area like a jungler. This will let them unleash his maximum potential.

Pokémon Unite Zeraora tips and tricks
This guide will also discuss some tips and tricks for playing the Zeraora in Pokémon Unite.
- Zeraora’s Move Agility is basically a speed buff, while Slash is a power move that allows him to deal significant damage. In the early game, this is basically needed to level up faster and gain an upper-hand on your enemies. We will suggest our readers to choose Slash over Agility in the Early game.
- Zeraora’s Both Mid Game abilities are power moves. Volt Tackle has a lower cooldown as well, as it gives boost to the basic attack speed. Zeraora, being a speedster, benefits him a lot from it. As for Spark, it would be a good move for teamfights. This will help the teammates, which is is not a bad choice!
- Wild charge is a super fast move. It’s hard to hit with Auto aim. Unless, one is doing it manually, it’s super effective and proper execution of this ability will deal a lot of damage. On the other hand, Discharge paralyzes enemies and leaves them vulnerable. Therefore, it is possible to do combo-attacks with teammates. The choice is yours, if one wants to be a solo or a team player.
- Plasma gale is Zeraora’s Unite move. One must use it when the opponent is low on health, therefore, one can finish them off.
