Pokemon Uniteis a MOBA based on the idea of Pokemon scoring goals against an enemy team in a sport-like game stadium. Players can battle it out and rack up KOs, but victory inPokemon Uniteis ultimately determined by which team scored the most points in the opposing goals. The scoreboards during a match and afterward don’t exactly make it clear where a team stands, though. This guide will explain exactlyhow the scoreboard works inPokemon Unite.
Players can level up against wild Pokemon and battle the opponent to their heart’s content, but they will inevitably lose if they let the other team score more than they do. The only way to ensure that the opponent doesn’t accumulate a high score is by learninghow to block a goal. It’s hard to determine the current score during a match using the scoreboard alone, so the safest bet is to always make sure a solid defense is in place.

Its high damage, high mobility, and decent crowd control can transform team fights into a breeze provided players can find a workaround for Darkrai’s frail nature. However, before players go all-in for their Pokemon Unite experience, they may want a quick recap on how exactly the Scoreboard functions in the game - especially when the Scoreboard shows different things during and after the match. Just how can players maximize the Scoreboard for their experience?
Understanding The Scoreboard During A Match
No Immediate Information, But Useful For Basic Stats
Players can check the scoreboard at any timeduring gameplay. This is done with the Plus button on the Nintendo Switch version of the game or through the hamburger icon beside the settings on the upper-right part of the screen on mobile. When knocked out, the Review button below the countdown also indicates the total score.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to look at the point countduring the match. However, the game does reveal some interesting stats at the onset:
Score Check Mid-Match: Analyze The Goal Zones
The best way to get an estimate of the score during the match is to analyze how many scores were depleted from each goal as of the moment. To recap, these are:
This method becomes unreliable when Rayquaza orZapdos appear, however, as this part in the endgame allows for either side to exceed points that the goals allow.
Score Check Mid-Match: Analyze The In-Game Text
Players who want to have an inkling on their current point count might not be able to do so during the match, but actively scoring can make the game trigger a text that implies how far their score is compared to the enemy’s. This is especially the case when the players manage to destroy a Goal Zone or plug in a lot of points.
Understanding The Scoreboard After A Match
Shows More Definitive Stats Throughout The Match
When the match ends, the post-game Scoreboard reveals a more detailed perspective on what happened throughout the match. This now reveals how many points the player scored throughout the match aside fromtheir Knockdowns and Assists. This rating now includes:
Unfortunately, the number of Knockdowns or Assists that players have don’t have an impact on the overall Team Score. However, they may influence the kind of Medals that players earn.
How Is The Player Rating Calculated?
