Pokemon Unite: What’s the Best Emblem For Me to Choose?

Pokemon Boost Emblems have made it into Pokemon Unite as part of the July 2022 First Year Anniversary celebrations. This mechanic has proven to be pretty confusing for casual fans and pros alike, with no clear example of what the optimum loadout should look like. 

If you’re a complete newbie to the world of Boost Emblems in Pokemon Unite, I’d recommend reading through THIS guide before carrying out with this one. It explains the basics of what these Emblems do, and how to equip them before battle.

Assuming that the player equips all Bronze Emblems, below are some examples of optimum loadouts.

Recommended Loadout – Best Emblem To Boost Physical Attack:

Full list of physical attackers in Pokemon Unite, as of the First Anniversary update:

  • Absol
  • Aegislash
  • Azumarill
  • Charizard
  • Cinderace
  • Crustle
  • Decidueye
  • Dragonite
  • Duraludon
  • Garchomp
  • Greedent
  • Greninja
  • Lucario
  • Machamp
  • Mamoswine
  • Snorlax
  • Talonflame
  • Trevenant
  • Tsareena
  • Zeraora

If you play one of these Mons, you may want to increase your damage output. As you don’t make use of a Special Attack stat, you can decrease this with no consequences. If you’re familiar with EV and IV training, this won’t be new news. We recommend the following Emblems:

  • Clefairy (-3.0 DEF / +30 HP)
  • Clefable (-21 SPE / +30 HP)
  • Jigglypuff (-3.0 SPD / +30 HP) // Pink synergy activated
  • Diglett (-30 HP / +21 SPE)
  • Poliwrath (-1.5 SPA / +3.0 SPD)
  • Primeape (-1.5 SPA / +30 HP)
  • Golem (-1.5 SPA / +3.0 DEF) // Brown synergy activate
  • Ponyta (-30 HP / +1 ATK)
  • Charmander (-1 ATK / +30 HP)
  • Vulpix (-30 HP / +3 SPD) // Red synergy activated

The stats for this loadout would be:

  • HP +60 HP
  • DEF 0
  • ATK 0
  • SPD +3.0
  • SPA -3.0
  • SPE 0
  • BONUS (Pink) -4% Hindrance Duration (Tenacity)
  • BONUS (Brown) +2% Attack
  • BONUS (Red) +2% Basic-Attack Speed
