Jumping intoPokemon Uniteis easier than ever with Panic Parade, offering you a chance to get used to Pokemon and mechanics in a co-op (Player vs Environment) setting, rather than jumping straight into the cold, hard world of online matches (Player vs Player).
While the event is technically limited, it occasionally returns during special events. If you didn’t get a chance to catch it the first time it came aroundwith the release of Mewtwo, then now is your second chance to try this distinct mode. With all the fun of Unite and (almost) none of the stress of playing online, Panic Parade is a great way to introduce your friends to the game.
What Is Panic Parade?
Panic Parade is afive-player Player vs Environment (PvE) co-op modewhere you and your team must protect a Tinkaton in the center of the map from losing all of its HP.
You canrestore the Tinkaton’s HPby a tiny amount using aRecovery Bomb.
While it’s technically meant to heal you, it will also heal Tinktaon if you use it nearby.
No other healing movesor passives will heal Tinkaton.
As youincrease the difficulty, the totalnumber of wavesyou must repelincreases, up to a maximum of15 totalrounds at the Extreme level.

How To Play Panic Parade
Panic Parade is only available for a limited time frame and can be accessed by following these steps:
Once you’re in the game, your objective is simple:protect Tinkaton at all costs.
Follow one of the three lanes to the end, whereenemieswillspawn.
Complete each wave until abossspawns, at which time you have to deal with each one’sspecial mechanic.
For example, Hoopa summons Pokemon to fight for it, while Zapdos can eviscerate Tinkaton’s HP if you don’t know how to fight it.
It’s exceptionally important tobe careful when you attack the Zapdos boss.
If you attack the Zapdos when it is using Shock Wave, Tinkaton will be massively hurt by the attack;stay away from Zapdos when it uses that attack.
The ultimate goal is to clear every enemy out before they can harm Tinkaton, sokeep an eye on your mapand rush over to the nearest enemies before they can do damage.
Follow these essential tips,and you’ll be a Panic Parade expert after a bit of practice:
The Best Pure Damage Options
This mode is primarily focused on clearing out enemies, so when selecting a Pokemon, you should be biased toward Pokemon who can clear waves in seconds.
Some of the best damage options offer little in the way of sustained healing, so be aware of your HP bar.
Zoroark
Zoroark is the quintessential glass cannon, but its kit is perfect for slicing through tons of low-level grunts in a flash.
Good ability Cooldown on kill
Punishing if you miss a combo
Snowballs late-game
Decidueye & Inteleon
Decidueye & Inteleon both operate in the same sniper niche and are interchangeable. Either one works, but they are functionally almost identical.
Great mobility
Requires slow or no movement for snipes
Exceptional range
Must use Unite Move to control crowds
Incredible single-target damage
Glaceon
If you despise aiming skill shots with a passion and just want to spam and win, then Glaceon was built for you.
Automatic lock-on for moves
Can only target one enemy at a time
Unlimited range on Ice Shard if you walk away
Helpful Unite Move for the team
Mewtwo Y
IfMewtwo Y still haunts your dreams, then this is the perfect time to take it out for a cathartic spin against some literal bots in Panic Parade.
High charge rate with Charging Charm
Average mobility
Easy to farm energy
Average against groups
Excellent against bosses
The Most Powerful Brawler Pokemon
Zacian
Zacian is such a strong choice, there are almost no downsides to using it in your Panic Parade team composition.
Must slow down to charge its sword attack
Solid mobility
Needs Aeos charging to reach its DPS peak
Strong against single-targets and groups
Solid HP
Mewtwo X
Of course, we cannot forget how good Mewtwo X is at getting in close and demolishing HP bars in an instant.
Have to close down space to attack
Moderately low HP for a brawler
Deadly pull combos on small enemies
Cannot bully bosses alone
Easy to play
Umbreon
Umbreon represents the pinnacle of a Brawlerthat can take a hit and survive. Despite being a defender, you can equip a Muscle Band and Focus Band to help Umbreon hit a bit harder without losing out on survivability.
Incredibly easy to play
Needs a partner to help against tougher waves
Needs higher levels to bring its damage to life
Traps enemies from reaching Tinkaton
Azumarill
Azumarill is an excellent blend between damage dealer and defender, though it leans way more into damage than Umbreon. Luckily, it also keeps itself alive through that damage.
High sustainability
Damage caps out below some of the best choices
Doesn’t offer elite single-target clearing
Good against groups
Blaziken
Blaziken is a fantastic choice as an alternative or additional melee attacker alongside Mewtwo X, though it requires a bit more precise play.
Forced to be immobile when clearing
Great single-target damage
Requires accurate enemy predictions and good timing
Can clear areas and groups with Overheat
High skill ceiling
