How to play Legendary Zeraora in Pokemon Unite

Pokemon Unite has gotten its first Legendary fighter, Zeraora. Here is how to play the Alolan Mythical in its Speedster role and leave opponents paralyzed in fear. 

To celebrate the launch of Pokemon Unite on Nintendo Switch, TiMi Studios has added Sun & Moon Legendary Zeraora to the roster. The Electric feline is in the Speedster class.

This guide will detail how to best play the Gen VIII Mythical in the team-based 5v5 MOBA, as well as list and break down the character’s entire moveset and special abilities.

Alolan Mythical Zeraora is easily one of the most powerful characters in the Speedster class. The beloved ‘mon lives up to its Electric-type as it’s able to zip around the map with speed while also unleashing a flurry of strikes on opponents. 

We recommend upgrading Agility at level 6 and swapping it for Volt Switch. The upgraded ability will allow you to harass opponents by teleporting to them for a devastating attack, before spamming the move a second time to dash back to your previous location.

At level 8, players should trade in their second ability Slash for Wild Charge. The new dash move pairs off with Volt Switch, making Zeraora an absolute menace on the map with insane mobility. Using Volt Switch first before triggering Wild Charge will increase the number of hits thrown in the latter attack, making for a deadly combo.

The Legendary has a devastating nuke attack with its Unite Special, Plasma Gale. If landed on a group of enemies, it not only leaves them paralyzed but also locks them inside the ring of electricity surrounding them. The move is a good way to box in opponents and interrupt group attacks.

This Electric-type Mythical Pokémon is fast as lightning, catching opponents and dealing massive damage in the blink of an eye.

Zeraora was a last-minute surprise as Pokemon Unite was originally set to launch with 19 characters. Incredibly, the Alolan Legendary is being given out for free by TiMi Studios. For the steps on how to unlock the ‘mon right now, check out our guide here.

Unfortunately, the Electric feline will only be available for a limited time. So those planning on playing as the fighter will need to claim the gift before Tuesday, August 31, 2021.
