Pokemon Unite Scoreboard Explained

Pokemon Unite Scoreboard Explained

As a seasoned Pokémon Unite player with countless battles under my belt, I can confidently say that understanding the scoreboard is as essential as knowing which Pokémon to choose for a match. The scoreboard might seem simple at first glance, but it holds secrets that can make or break a game.


As a passionate gamer immersed in the world of Pokémon, I’ve found myself captivated by the unique twist on Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games known as Pokémon Unite. Instead of the traditional destruction of towers or creeps, the goal here is to score points against an opposing team in a stadium that resembles a sporting arena. The action-packed gameplay allows for intense battles and KO’s, but ultimately, it’s the team that manages to rack up the most points by scoring in the opposing goals that emerges victorious.

In a game with wild Pokemon, players can engage in battles as much as they wish, but if their team scores less than their opponent, they will ultimately lose. To prevent the opponent from amassing too many points, it’s essential to master the skill of blocking goals. Keeping track of the current scoreboard may not always be straightforward, so maintaining a strong defensive strategy is advisable throughout the game.

Understanding The Scoreboard During A Match

No Immediate Information, But Useful For Basic Stats

During the game, players have the flexibility to view the scoreboard whenever they wish. On the Nintendo Switch version, this is accomplished by pressing the Plus button, while on the mobile version, look for the hamburger icon situated next to the settings in the upper-right corner of the screen. In case a player gets knocked out, the Review button located under the countdown will display the overall score.

Regrettably, it’s impossible to check the score during the game itself. Nonetheless, the game presents some intriguing statistics at its start.

  • Knockdowns: The enclosed fist icon shows how many Pokemon each player on either side of the team has knocked down during the match.
  • Assists: This reveals how many times a Pokemon has assisted in taking down an opposing side Pokemon.
  • Movelist: A more interesting part of the in-match Scoreboard is the revelation of what current Moves every Pokemon possesses. Players aware of

Score Check Mid-Match: Analyze The Goal Zones

Keep track of the points subtracted from every goal scored throughout the match.

  • Outer Goal: 80
  • Inner Goal: 100
  • Base Goal: Infinite

This method proves less dependable whenever Rayquaza or Zapdos show up. Yet, during the final stages, it offers flexibility for either player to surpass the set points, which might violate the objectives.

Score Check Mid-Match: Analyze The In-Game Text

During a game, players may not be able to see their exact point count while playing, but scoring actively will cause the game to send a message indicating how close they are to the opponent’s score. This is particularly relevant when players succeed in destroying a Goal Zone or amassing numerous points.

Understanding The Scoreboard After A Match

Shows More Definitive Stats Throughout The Match

After the game wraps up, the post-match scoreboard unveils an in-depth breakdown of the action that transpired throughout the match. Now I can see not only my Killstreaks and assists but also the number of points I scored during the game. This new rating system encompasses:

  • Team Score: This is the final score the team managed to have when the match ended.
  • Level: This is the final Level your Pokemon had when the match ended.
  • Score: This indicates how many points the player scored throughout the match in the enemy goal zone.
  • Rating: This is the final rating of the player based on their overall performance.

I’m sorry to say, but the number of knockdowns or assists a player makes doesn’t affect the total team score directly. Yet, these stats can shape the medals players receive at the end of the game.

How Is The Player Rating Calculated?

As a dedicated Pokémon Unite enthusiast, I’ve noticed that although the game doesn’t explicitly explain how the final player ranking is determined, some aspects of each match seem to influence this score significantly. Here are some factors that I believe play a role in the calculation:

  • Damage Interactions: Depending on the type of Pokemon players have, it seems damage dealt by Attackers or damage taken by Defenders are factors in determining their potential for MVP – basically, their commitment to their role.
  • Knockdowns, Assists: Pokemon interactions in fights seem to be taken into account, particularly if a Pokemon focuses too much on acting alone or is cooperative with the rest of the pack. Team-based fights are incentivized, as it seems high-Assist/low-Knockdown Pokemons have an edge compared to the contrary.
  • Points Scored: Low-scoring Pokemon rank lower compared to their high-scoring counterparts. Likewise, it seems interrupting enemies while scoring can also increase one’s odds of being MVP.
  • Killing Bosses: Taking out Zapdos and Rayquaza seem to have an effect on how players earn their MVP badge.
