Raise Level To Evolve
Just like in the core Pokemon games, raising up your level is the only way to evolve your Pokemon. Note that the actual level required to evolve will vary for each Pokemon.
Start At Lv 1 In Each Match
All players will be at level 1 at the start of the match. They will need to defeat both wild and enemy Pokemon to gain EXP to level up and evolve.
Required Level For Evolution
1st Evo. | Evolves at Lv 4-6 |
---|---|
2nd Evo. | Evolves at Lv 7-10 |

At certain levels, Pokemon will learn new moves to replace the default ones they get at the start of the match. These moves form a different build per Pokemon, creating a unique gameplay for each of them.
All Pokemon Moves ListStats Increase As They Evolve

As Pokemon level up and evolve, their health and stats also increase. Since there are no items to purchase mid-match in Unite, leveling and evolving are the main ways to gain more character power!
Invulnerable During Evolution
During evolution, your Pokemon will be granted a 1-2 second immunity that will ignore any damage against them. Avoid using abilities or attacking your opponent's Pokemon when they are about to evolve! Memorizing the level that each Pokemon evolves will also help you in landing perfect timing attacks/skills against your opponents.
How To Evolve Your Pokemon
1 | Deal the last hit |

2 | Get partial exp from assists |
3 | Exp gains from Drednaw |
4 | Passive exp gain with Exp. Share |
Deal The Last Hit
One of the fastest ways to get exp is to deal the last hit before a Pokemon is KO'd. Doing so will reward you with the most exp among all the teammates who have assisted in the battle.

You'll often find yourself aiding teammates in defeating both opponents and wild Pokemon. Note that in doing so, the experience will be partial as it was a team effort. However, as mentioned above, you'll get majority of the gain if you deal the last hit.
Exp Gains From Drednaw

EXP Gained | A full level (TBD) |
---|---|
Points Gained | 20 |
Dreadnaw can be a good source of EXP as it provides a chunk of it when it's defeated. We're not sure the exact amount given, but it does seem like defeating it will almost always give your team an entire level's worth of experience. This can be huge in getting your team their Unite moves before the enemy!

If you find that defeating enemy Pokemon by yourself or dealing the last hit is quite difficult, you may opt to bring Exp. Share with you in battle. Exp. Share is a Held Item that grants 2 exp every second to the Pokemon with the least exp in the team. This item is particularly useful for Supporters and Defenders.
Items | Effect | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | When you have the least exp of all Pokemon on your team, gain 2 exp every second. However, you'll no longer get exp from assisting a teammate when they defeat a Wild Pokemon. | ・HP +16 |
List Of Pokemon That Evolve (Evolution) & Levels
Not All Pokemon Can Evolve

Not all Pokemon have evolutions in Pokemon Unite and will stay the way they are throughout a match. There are also Pokemon whose evolutions have been removed, like Snorlax & Pikachu.
Pokemon Have Different Evolution Levels
Not all Pokemon evolve at the same level. Some may require a higher level to reach the next evolution stage. Do check each one as a Pokemon's utility and stats increase when evolving.
