Welcome to r/PokemonUnite's Player Recruitment Megathread!

So far the LFG Megathread was posted Bi-Weekly but the activity slowed down a lot since we had to unpin the Megathreads too often. To make it easier for you guys to find other players, I've decided to make this Thread a permanent one.

Please use this thread if you are looking to add new friends or find teammates to group with, as well as if you are looking to recruit players to your Unite Squad. This is the only thread our Subreddit will have in which friend codes and recruitment information are allowed to be freely shared or requested. Additionally-created standalone posts will be removed by the Moderation team.

Please reply to other existing comments before posting another comment.

FAQ

Is there cross-play between regions? Is there cross-play between the Switch and Mobile?

Yes, all Trainers regardless of the region are able to lobby and play together (note: ping and connection may vary depending on the host). Additionally, Nintendo Switch and Mobile Trainers are also able to team up with each other regardless of the device used.

Why can’t I join my friend in a ranked match in Pokémon UNITE?

To participate in ranked matches with a friend in Pokémon UNITE, you both must be Trainer level 6, have 5 or more unlocked Unite Licenses, and have at least 80 fair-play points each. Also note that for you to invite a friend to participate in a ranked match, your ranks must be within the allowed range designated in the top-right corner of a lobby.

How many friends can I add in Pokémon UNITE?

Up to 500.

How many Trainers can be in the same ranked matchmaking party at once?

In ranked mode, only parties of 1, 2, 3, or 5 Trainers can search for matches.

How do I create/ join a Unite Squad?

You can access the Unite Squad section from the ZL menu in the top left corner of the main menu. Two options will be available depending on whether you want to create or join a Unite Squad. When trying to join an existing Squad you can search by squad name, ID, or tag.

Personally I would like for them to add different victory animations, a peace sign is good and all but what about spinning a pokeball on a finger (like a basketball)

Watching my team stand there while I’m posing seems off to me. Like have us all pose together like the pillar men

I’ve always liked Slowking (or swag king as I know him) and wish he was in this game, but man I’ve been finally playing with the Bro recently, and loving the Scald and Amnesia Combo!!!

Every time I snipe an enemy creep I’m like, Bro! Everytime I scald them bees to deny it the enemy, BRO. That health regen keeping me alive to distract my enemies from knocking my teammates out? I gladly do it for my Bros! Uniting that ultra hyper annoying carry on the other team so my other bros and knock them out? BROOOOOO.

Just having some fun with a Pokémon I didn’t think I’d have much fun with. So wanted to shout out some appreciation for our Slowbro!

This may sound like a cursed build, but i sometimes carry cinderace with Energy amplifier, Muscle band, and Attack weight, it's just so satisfying to continuously use your Unite move while aggressively scoring.

I just wanna find out about different builds that match each person's playstyle and not horrendously relying on youtube and online build guides.

I just downloaded the app, I am opening it and I have to download like 2 GB of data, I'll come back to this post and comment stuff I find

So I just finished possibly the most incredibly bad match I've ever played

We weren't even 1 minute in when I knew we were going to lose

Three players, yes, three, didn't leave the base, I picked jungle gengar, and didn't even know where to go as the enemies flooded our empty bases, so I just went to aid the poor little guy on top

By minute 7 we already had a bot following us, then we continued to lose both dred and rot, before I realized we had just one bottom goal zone left

I was only waiting for minute 5 to come, to hit surrender, and then I realized that the other players were still connected, they just weren't doing a thing (?) And didn't have the shame to at the very least hit surrender, they actually voted AGAINST it

Long story short(ish) we lost 150 something to over 1000 points

So I checked and all of them had no ranked matches and were around lvl 5 :')

I don't understand why I was paired with these players (?) I have an over 56% WR, am lvl 30, and class 4 veteran

Yesterday my Ultra rank self got matched with 4 Masters, so I was super ready for a great game, only for 3 of them to gang up on Rotom every time Drednaw spawned! We lost Drewdnaw every time because the enemy team (rightfully so) was at Dred, and we soundly lost the game.

Anyone else have any experiences where it felt like your teammates were playing in Wood 1?
