Pokemon Unite: Guide to Using Held Items for Physical and Special Attack Damage Dealing Pokemon

Held Items can massively improve a player’s roster in Pokemon Unite. Fans have a lot of choice with these items and each of them provides a specific bonus to Pokemon in the game. However, it is vital for players to select the correct item depending on the Pokemon they have. This requires them to know if their character deals Physical or Special Attack damage.

In the game, Pokemon doesn’t have to be a Melee type to deal Physical damage because characters like Gengar give Special Attack damage. Similarly, they don’t have to be a Ranged type to deal Special Attack damage because characters like Cinderace give Physical damage. So here are some tips to know about all the Pokemon dealing in Physical and Special Attack damage.

Held Items for Physical and Special Attack damage dealers in Pokemon Unite

In Pokemon Unite, characters like Charizard, Machomp, Snorlax, Cinderace, Lucario, Talonflame, and many more deal in Physical damage. To boost the Physical damage output of these Pokemon, players can use Held Items like Muscle Band, Attack Weight, Float Stone, and sometimes Scope Lens as well. Scope Lens can only help Pokemon which can do critical hits on their Physical attack along with the normal ones as well.

In Pokemon Unite, characters like Venusaur, Pikachu, Gengar, Slowpoke, Ninetales, Wigglytuff and many more deal in Special Attack damage. To boost the damage output, players should try Held Items like Special Attack Glasses, Wise Glasses or Shell Bell. Special Moves do not deal critical hits so players should definitely stray away from Scope Lens.

Other Held Items that players should use

Pokemon that deal Physical or Special Attack damage can use items like Energy Amplifier. With it, the character gains a damage buff after using their Unite move. Items like Buddy Barrier, Float Stone and Exp Share should be used for support Pokemon like Eldegoss, Wigglypuff and Mr. Mime. Aeos Cookie also creates a good synergy for players using Buddy Barrier as well. Defensive Pokemon like Snorlax, Slowbro and Crustle can also have Focus Band, Assault Vest, Rocky Helmet or the Aeos Cookie and Buddy Barrier combination as well.

With these items players will gain some great boosts for their Pokemon. They can try out unique item combinations that would help certain characters in Pokemon Unite. So players should head to the arena and start experimenting right away.
