Characters from Pokémon Unite.
Multi-Role
Pokémon with multiple Unite Licenses under different roles. Because these Unite Licenses represent the same Pokémon, only one of them can be on a team at any given time.
Mewtwo
Mewtwo (ミュウツー, Mewtwo)
Mewtwo is a Legendary Psychic-type Pokémon from Kanto. The player who selects Mewtwo can choose from two licenses for Mewtwo, one that allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X as an All-Rounder and other to allow it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y as an Attacker. Both forms of Mewtwo share the same moves, with slight adjustments to suit its roles.
- Mewtwo's ability Pressure causes attacks against opposing (but not wild) Pokémon to fill up a Mega Gauge. As the Mega Gauge fills, Mewtwo gains a stacking stat bonus (Attack, Defense, and Sp. Defense for Mega Mewtwo X, Sp. Attack and attack speed for Mega Mewtwo Y). When the Mega Gauge is maxed out and Mewtwo is at least level 5, it will Mega Evolve for 15 seconds, gaining further bonuses to the stats increased by the Mega Meter as well as a boost to health and movement speed.
- Mewtwo's first move, Confusion, is a Sure Hit move damages a target and makes it briefly unable to act. It upgrades at level 5:
- Future Sight is a Sure Hit move that shoves the target (toward Mewtwo for Mega Mewtwo X, away from it for Mega Mewtwo Y) and makes it briefly unable to act. The target takes more damage from Mewtwo and is slowed. When the debuff's duration runs out, the target takes damage a second time, boosted by a percentage of the damage it took during that time.
- Psystrike is a Sure Hit move that channels psychic energy onto the target, damaging and slowing it over time, before unleashing a blast that deals damage and launches enemies in an area of effect into the air. While channeling, Mewtwo is unstoppable and takes reduced damage.
- Mewtwo's second move, Barrier, is a Buff move that grants it a shield and increases its movement speed. It upgrades at level 7:
- Recover is a Buff move that grants Mewtwo a shield and increases its movement speed. If used by Mega Mewtwo X, it heals each time the shield absorbs damage, and if the shield is depleted by enemy damage, Mewtwo's Mega Gauge increases and its move cooldowns are reduced. If used by Mega Mewtwo Y, it instead heals based on damage dealt by Mewtwo, and reduces cooldowns and increases Mega Gauge if the shield lasts to the end of its duration.
- Teleport is a Dash move that teleports Mewtwo a short distance and grants it a buff that increases movement speed and damage dealt, and causes its Mega Gauge to increase faster. If used by Mega Mewtwo Y, it can teleport a second time within a short period.
- Its Unite Move, Infinite Psyburn, unlocks at level 9. Mewtwo channels a psychic blast on the current location of all enemies which strikes after 1 second, damaging and stunning enemies hit while reducing their Defense/Sp. Defense.
- Barrier Warrior: One of its basic moves is Barrier, which gives Mewtwo a shield for a short time. Upgrading it to Recover causes it to heal each time the shield takes damage (for Mega Mewtwo X) or when Mewtwo deals damage (as Mega Mewtwo Y).
- Damage-Increasing Debuff: Future Sight causes the target to take increased damage from Mewtwo for a short duration. At the end of the duration, it causes a Delayed Explosion whose damage is increased by a percentage of the total damage taken by the target.
- Elemental Punch: Mega Mewtwo X's basic attack is a punch shrouded by psychic energy.
- Healing Factor: Mewtwo can learn Recover which surrounds it with a shield for a short time, granting it increased speed. It is healed based on the amount of damage Mega Mewtwo X takes from enemy attacks or Mega Mewtwo Y deals to enemies and at level 13, will restore more health.
- Hour of Power: Without its Mega Evolution, Mewtwo is a run-of-the-mill damage dealer. However, survive for long enough to Mega Evolve, and it will rip through nearly any opponent in its path until the Mega Evolution runs out.
- Limit Break:
- Infinite Psybeam where Mewtwo calls down a powerful psychic blast on each opposing Pokémon and when struck, they not only take damage but are also stunned and have their defense decreased for a short time.
- Mewtwo's Mega Gauge fills up when it attacks enemy players or through its secondary move upgrades, and when full, it Mega Evolves for a short time starting from level 5.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Starts with Barrier and Recover also grants Mewtwo a shield with the latter decreasing Mewtwo's move cooldown and increasing its Mega Gauge.
- Mage Marksman: Mega Mewtwo Y's basic attacks are pretty wimpy in its base form, in which most of its damage is dealt by either Psystrike or Future Sight. However, upon Mega Evolving, its attacks become much more powerful and deal area-of-effect damage, allowing it to mow things down indiscriminately, and it still has its moves to supplement that damage.
- Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Mewtwo is so far the only Pokémon who can Mega Evolve and as such has two licenses, one for Mega Mewtwo X and one for Mega Mewtwo Y.
- Moveset Clone: Both forms of Mewtwo have the same moves, but with slightly different mechanics.
- Nerf: Mega Mewtwo X got hit by an emergency patch after dominating at launch that reduces the stat increase for Defense with Mega Gauge, reduces the stat increases given by Mega Evolution and increases cooldown on Psystrike, Recover and Teleport. Further, both of them got an additional nerf (as seen in Patch 1.14.1.2 on unite-db.com
but not in the in-game patch notes) that made their super mode consume the Aeos Energy they are holding, a huge nerf in everything but Panic Parade since the energy you are trying to score with now will vanish completely if you accidentally Mega Evolve. - Psychic Powers: Psychic-type and most of its moves are Psychic-type.
- Short Range Guy, Long Range Guy: Mega Mewtwo X is built for brawling with enemies up close, while Mega Mewtwo Y is a long-ranged Mage Marksman.
- Status Effects: Confusion prevents an enemy Pokémon from moving and Future Sight inflicts a slow.
- Super Mode: Mewtwo has a Mega Gauge that fills up via either dealing damage with basic attacks or using Recover or Teleport. When the Mega Gauge is full when Mewtwo is at least level 5, the Genetic Pokémon Mega Evolves getting increased Attack, Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense, moves faster and recovers health with each basic attack. In addition, Mega Mewtwo X changes difficulty from Novice to Intermediate and the Style from Melee to Ranged.
- You Will Not Evade Me: Future Sight, one of the upgrades for Confusion, allows Mega Mewtwo X to reel enemies in from a distance. Additionally, one of its upgrades for Barrier is Teleport, which not only lets Mewtwo teleport a short distance to stay on top of enemies but also increases Mewtwo's damage output. Combine either (or both) with its Mega Evolution, which not only has a faster than average movement speed but also dashes a short distance with its basic attacks, and Mega Mewtwo X is very hard to run away from.
Aeos Island Researchers
Chief Researcher Phorus
The scientist who discovered Aeos Energy.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is short for "phosphorus". It vaguely follows the tree Theme Naming from other Pokémon Professors.
- Perpetual Frowner: Her in-game model shows her with a frowny face, though the manga shows that it may not be the case.
- Signature Mon: Metagross. It's now available as a playable character, having been added in December 2023.
Chief of Operations Erbie
Assistant to Phorus. He oversees and plans all UNITE battles.
- Beleaguered Assistant: Mostly averted, given his ready smile at all times; though as the manga shows, as Chief of Operations for the UNITE battles, he isn't above letting out the occasional sigh for having to be the one to do the actual planning for Phorus' research and ideas.
- Meaningful Name: His name sounds close to "herbs". It vaguely follows the tree Theme Naming from other Pokémon Professors.
- Perpetual Smiler: Mirroring Phorus, he looks more upbeat in-game.
- Signature Mon: Elekid. Ironically, it is not playable.
Zirco
A shady-looking colleague who enjoys dressing up Pokémon in his Holowear inventions.
- Call-Back: He drew inspiration in creating Holowear from Pokémon Contests in Hoenn and Sinnoh, alongside Pokémon Musicals and Pokéstar Studios in Unova.
- Meaningful Name: Short for "zirconium", a material best known for being able to be made into crucibles for creating tools like knives and scissors that withstand several hazards. Fittingly, Holowear cannot be damaged in any way.
- Signature Mon: Sableye. Unlike the other researcher's signature Pokémon, it is playable, having been added in November 2022.
