Pokemon with less complicated gameplay is recommended for players who are new to Pokemon Unite or MOBAs in general. Instead of learning hard combos, you can focus on learning about the map & overall gameplay aspects first.
2. Easy To Land Attacks
Beginners will get a lot of benefit from using Pokemon with easy to land attacks. There are moves that have a wider range and could easily hit enemies without too much preparation.
3. Role Is Easy To Play
All roles have their purpose, but there are some that are less taxing than others. For example, since supports do not need to be in the middle of battle most of the time, they're ideal for beginners.
