Summary

Panic Parade is a PvE game mode introduced duringPokemon Unite’s second-anniversary celebrations. You and four teammates are tasked with protecting a Tinkaton from increasingly difficult oncoming waves of attackers.

to repel the attacks, you’ll need some incredibly powerful attackers of your own. The key to this mode is having enough damage output and sustain/recovery to stay engaged in the fight. Strong ranged attackers are superb here and will make your experience far more manageable in the Extreme difficulty stage.

10Glaceon

Glaceon is an easy-to-use option if you’re interested in dealing incredible damage without the pressures of skill shots. AnIcicle Shard and Icicle Spear combinationshould provide plenty of power via the auto-tracking projectiles that decimate foes.

Glaceon’s Unite Move also provides quite an important boon for dishing out as many icicles as possible while reducing the speed of the enemies marching toward Tinkaton. Slowing down and defeating your foes is the name of the game here, and Glaceon can do both well.

9Cramorant

Cramorant fills the need for a Pokemon that can deal with multiple targets at once, especially using its Unite Move to engage in turret mode.

Cramorant is built to handle multiple enemies in a spaced-out arena given access to its multiple AoE (area-of-effect) moves.

You can make use of any moveset here depending on your team and level of coordination. If you’re alone then Dive and Hurricane should prove to be excellent for holding your own lane down.

The flexibility to hone in on either movement or damage is a major mark in favor of this fish-flinging bird.

8Alolan Ninetales

Much like Glaceon, Alolan Ninetales shares a few similar abilities with its Ice-type friend. Avalanche and Blizzard pair immensely well together and are a deadly combination when paired with a Glaceon.

Avalance should be key to stopping the momentum of Pokemon you haven’t defeated yet. Ninetales is the closest thing to a support Pokemon for this mode, as you should be prioritizing damage. While other Pokemon offer superior damage, there are few choices with as much utility as Alolan Ninetales.

7Chandelure

Chandelure’s flexibility andsuperbly strong damage buildcatapult it up the ranks for the best Panic Parade Pokemon in Unite. Overheat provides an AoE option that should help clear out Pokemon that spawn in groups of three or more.

Poltergeist is a great option for slowing down the oncoming waves making a B-line for your poor Tinkaton. Whether you choose to push up or linger close to Tinkaton in order to dispatch any stragglers, Chandelure should provide excellent crowd control for any team composition.

6Mew

Mew is the premier option if flexibility is your main concern as you can build Mew’s moveset to your liking. While certain move options can be skipped over, you can always choose Solar Beam to guarantee that you’re able to control a lane.

Given that Mew can respond to multiple scenarios and team compositions, there may not be a better option out there if you want to solo queue.

Mew is typically not the first selection as its introductory event was limited, and its current cost is high, so you shouldn’t have to worry about switching your choice.

5Mewtwo X

Mewtwo is one of the major reasons why Panic Parade is worth playing, as you can acquire dice to advance in the Mewtwo event by exchanging the currency in the event shop. If you’ve already acquired Mewtwo or want to test out your limited license, then you’ll be extremely satisfied.

Mewtwo is an offensive powerhouse and can actually withstand a decent amount of damage, especially when given a Potion and Focus Band to maintain itself. Enough good cannot be said about Mewtwo’s powerful Future Sight attack, with Recover helping to keep you in the battle for as long as possible.

The only negative is that Mewtwo X is a melee character, but the dangers of close-range shouldn’t prove too great.

4Inteleon

Inteleon is a powerful ranged attacker who makes incredible use of spacing and the long lanes your foes will be forced to approach from.

Snipe Shot is a perfect choice here as you’ll be able to keep your distance and activate the maximum damage tier by keeping far enough away. Activating the ‘far’ damage should eviscerate common enemies while contributing heavy damage to bosses like Hoopa and Zapdos.

While your Unite isn’t used to its fullest effect, the bonus shields, movement speed, and attack speed are all integral to doing the most DPS (damage per second) possible.

3Dragonite

Dragonite is a fantastic burst-oriented option that’s essential to any team looking to beat Panic Parade fast. Hyper Beam is the premier option for your Dragonite moveset as bosses will sustain heavy damage from it.

If you struggle with staying healthy, go witha Focus Band for your Held Itemto help improve your recovery when you drop to low health.

Dragonite’s biggest weakness is surviving against direct attacks, but you can stay at a decent range with Hyper Beam to mitigate this. Overall, this Pokemon deals damage in a flash and shouldn’t be underestimated.

2Cinderace

Cinderace is a Fire-type friend for Inteleon to pair up with as these two starters fill a similar niche. Luckily, in Panic Parade, having multiple ranged attackers is ideal, so there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing here.

Cinderace’s range is slightly limited in comparison to Inteleon, but your auto-attacks should rip through HP bars without much need to maintain range for very long. Pyro Ball is the safer damage option, though Blaze Kick is a sure-hit move if you’re feeling a bit lazy or are struggling with aiming.

Flame Charge will help you slow down oncoming threats while Feint is a better option for restoring HP if you find that you’re too frail.

1Decidueye

Decidueye is the undisputed champion of Pokemon Unite’s Panic Parade, given itselite combination of range and damage. Similar to Inteleon, Decidueye can fire sniper-like arrows from a massive distance, activating the Long Reach Passive ability.

Long Reach deals 20 percent increased damage to distant enemies.

Leaf Storm is preferred here for its damage capabilities and slowing effects. you may arguably make Razor Leaf or Spirit Shackle work, but the latter comes with an extra utility to the tune of 80 percent reduced movement speed when foes try to escape.

Decidueye’s Unite Move is sheer perfection, as you’re able to maintain damage over a large distance, allowing you to pick off even boss-tier enemies from your safe perch.
