Pokémon Unite: Defender Tier List - From Worst to Best!
This video presents an updated ranking of defensive Pokémon in Pokémon Unite, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses in the current meta. Pokémon are categorized into 'Troll', 'Complicated', 'Good' and 'God', offering a guide to choosing the best defender according to play style and team needs.
1. 📉 The Worst Defenders: Gudra and Greedent
- Gurdurr: Its reliance on healing makes it vulnerable to items like Curse Bangle and Incense Condemnation, common in the meta. Also, it lacks the control tools of other defenders.
- Greedent: It is considered more of a character for trolling than a real defender, as it does not offer enough support to its allies in terms of control or protection.

3. ⚖️ Defenders with Potential: Jellicent

06:37 - 09:33
4. 👍 Very Good Defenders: Crustle, Umbreon and Trevenant

- Umbreon: It is an excellent Pokémon with the ability to adapt to different builds. It can heal, trap enemies and steal shields with its Unite move, being key in team fights.
- Trevenant: Very good in the current meta, especially after the rework of its Curse ability, which can now stun. Combines Curse well with Drain to reset the cooldown time and maintain control.
09:34 - 10:56

14:02 - 17:46
