Pawmot Pokemon Unite Guide, Abilities, Skill and More Explains!

Pawmot is finally making its way into Pokémon Unite, and it’s shaping up to be a very unique melee all-rounder. With its evolution path, high-risk mechanics, and a special Unite Move system, Pawmot could either dominate battles or be a tricky pick to handle. If you plan on playing as (or against) it, here’s everything you need to know about its kit and playstyle.

Evolution Path

• Starts as Pawmi, evolves into Pawmo at Level 5, and finally Pawmot at Level 7.
• Designed as a melee all-rounder, meaning you’ll need to dive in and fight up close to maximize its potential.

Passive Ability: Iron Fist

• After using a move, Pawmot’s next basic attack is empowered.
• The empowered attack deals bonus damage and restores HP.
• This mechanic makes weaving in basic attacks essential for both survival and damage output.

Fighter Mode (Unite Move Buff)

When Pawmot activates its Unite Move, it enters Fighter Mode:

• Basic attack damage and attack speed increase.
• Many moves lose their crowd control effects in exchange for higher damage.
• Fighter Mode lasts about 8 seconds, so you’ll want to maximize aggression during this window.

Moveset Breakdown

Thunder Punch

• Normal: A charged punch that deals damage and slows enemies.
• Fighter Mode: Shorter range, no slow effect, but deals much more damage.

Volt Switch

• Normal: Dash into a target, deal damage, and reposition behind them. Can be used twice.
• Fighter Mode: Can only be used once, but grants a speed boost afterward.

Super Sai Slam

• Normal: Leap into an area to deal damage and slow. If you miss, Pawmot damages itself. Hitting allows a follow-up punch.
• Fighter Mode: Deals more damage but no longer slows.

Mach Punch

• Normal: A fast punch that damages and stuns the target. Cooldown reduces with each basic attack hit.
• Fighter Mode: Removes the stun but adds extra punches for more burst damage.

Unite Move: Electric Charge

• Dash at a chosen enemy Pokémon, dealing AoE damage.
• Consumes all stored electricity and activates Fighter Mode.
• Unique Mechanic: Unite gauge only recharges through damaging enemies (not farming, scoring, or passive gain). This rewards constant fighting and aggressive play.

Playstyle Tips

• Weave attacks: Always alternate between moves and basics to keep healing and lowering cooldowns.
• Timing is key: Fighter Mode is short, so use it in critical teamfights, not skirmishes.
• High risk, high reward: Missing Super Sai Slam punishes you, so aim carefully.
• Build choices: Thunder Punch pairs well with either Volt Switch for mobility or Mach Punch for pressure.

How to Play Against Pawmot

• Deny its Unite Move gauge by disengaging—if it can’t fight, it can’t recharge.
• Save crowd control for when it activates Fighter Mode; cutting its momentum is crucial.
• Bait out risky moves like Super Sai Slam, since a miss damages Pawmot itself.

Pawmot introduces a fresh mechanic to Pokémon Unite with its damage-based Unite recharge and high-risk abilities. While its moves may look straightforward, the balance between damage, healing, and Fighter Mode timing makes it a Pokémon that rewards smart play. Whether you’re planning to main it or counter it, knowing how Pawmot works will give you a big edge when it arrives.
