From the best moves to use, through to the Battle and Held items you need to take into the fray, we’ve put together everything you need to know to support your teammates to the best of Eldegoss’ ability.

Eldegoss moveset

Move		Unlocked At	Upgrade Level
	Leafage	Level 1	Level 4: Upgrades this move into Pollen Puff or Leaf Tornado.
	Pollen Puff	Level 4	Level 11: Makes foes stay asleep for longer.
	Cotton Guard	Level 6	Level 13: Slows enemies’ movement speed.
	Cotton Cloud Crash (Unite Move)	Level 9	–

Once the match starts, Eldegoss should initially choose Leafage, which throws leaves at opponents and slows them down temporarily, perfect for when you need to flee a fight or run for the goal.

Then, at Level 3, learn Synthesis: an AOE move that heals you and your nearby teammates. It’s incredibly useful during those early brawls, especially when the opposing team is trying to score for the first time.

Best Eldegoss Held Items in Pokemon Unite

Held Item		What it Does	Max Stat Boost
	Assault Vest	Out of battle, your Pokemon gets a shield that increases Sp. Def.	HP +270 Sp. Def. +42
	Buddy Barrier	When using your Unite move, you and a teammate with the lowest HP get a shield.	HP +600
	Rocky Helmet	After taking enough damage, surrounding opponents take damage.	HP +270 Defense +42

• Assault Vest: This item is imperative to use, as it shields you from Special Attacks. When out of battle, you get a shield that boosts your Special Defense substantially and is perfect when you’re trying to sneak your way to the goal.
• Buddy Barrier: This is essential due to Eldegoss’ Supporter role. Upon using your Unite move, the item gives you, and the member of your team with the lowest health, a shield. This is ideal when trying to take down Zapdos or when stuck in a cluster fight.
• Rocky Helmet: It is very useful when cornered by opponents as it releases an AOE attack that hurts foes once you’ve taken a chunk of damage, and could be the sole factor between life and death.

Best Eldegoss Battle Item in Pokemon Unite

Battle Item		What it Does	Unlocked At
	Eject Button	Quickly moves your Pokemon in the designated direction.	Trainer Level 11

• Eject Button: Equipping this as your Battle Item is the best choice for Eldegoss. As a Supporter, the ‘mon is typically quite slow, and so utilizing this will quickly shoot the Pokemon in any direction of your choosing, allowing you to get you away from any immediate danger.
