What Is The Boss Rush Mode In Pokemon UNITE?
The latest patch to Pokemon UNITE sees the fan-favorite Boss Rush mode make a return.
But what exactly is Boss Rush mode, and how can you be the very best, finally earning the love and respect of your parents in Pokemon UNITE?
Keep reading this guide for Pokemon UNITE Boss Rush tips and tricks.
Pokemon UNITE Boss Rush: What Is It?
Click to enlargeFirst of all, we’re going to have to figure out what exactly this mode is all about.
Unlike the more-traditional 5v5 PvP (Player vs Player) gameplay of Pokemon UNITE we’ve all come to love (in a sort of Stockholm syndrome way), Boss Rush is actually PvE (Player vs. Enemy).
That’s right, you and 5 of your rag-tag bunch of besties (if you have 5, show-off) will be taking down waves of powerful Pokemon against the clock for some sweet rewards.
Pokemon UNITE Boss Rush: How To Get Good

Ideal Team Composition
Yes, Ranked-Match-cels will be seething, but you’ll need to bin off your All-Rounders if you want the best chance of succeeding in Boss Rush.
The best team I’ve played with consisted of two ranged Attackers, like Espeon or Decidueye, two Defenders like Slowbro or Snorlax, and one HP restoring Support like Comfey or Blissey.
Another tip - use your Defenders to absorb blows whilst the Attackers gather on the other side to dish out damage.
Talk To Each Other!

You’ll need to work together to surround the enemy. If you all rush into the same place, there’s a good chance you’ll all get wiped out in one blow.
For the love of Arceus, please don’t take this to mean you should spam ‘Thanks!’ or ‘Check it Out’ every time you face one minor issue. Tilted, much?
Get Your 5 A Day
If you’re low on health, don’t be afraid to retreat from the battle. Sitrus berries pop up along the edges of the battlefield, which can be crucial in late-stage boss fights.
On a similar note, you can use the environment to hide behind obstacles. Ranged Attackers should pay attention - you don’t have to touch the boss with the tip of your nose to deal out damage. Use these obstacles to avoid their ranging attacks.
Make sure you use these tips to your advantage, and you’ll be a Pokemon UNITE Boss Rush pro in no time!
