When it comes to making builds for different Pokemon inPokemon Unite, the process is actually quite simple. Players only really have three choices to make: which moves to select upon level up, what held items to bring into the fight, and which battle item will support this build the most.Eldegoss is a Supporter type Pokemon, so players are going to want to equip it with items that improve its ability to help its teammates. That said, there is more than one way to build an Eldegoss, so here are two ideas to get players started.
The builds below break down into the three parts mentioned above. The first recommendation is which moves to select as the player levels up inPokemon Unite. These will determine what happens when the player presses the right shoulder buttons. Next, held items provide passive stat boosts to the Pokemon, and can be upgraded outside of battle to increase their effectiveness. Finally, battle items are reusable items on a cooldown that give players a temporary boost when used.

Pokemon Unite - Healer Eldegoss Build
One of the simplest ways to play Eldegoss is as a dedicated healer. In this case, players should choose Pollen Puff when they reach level 4, as this allows them to restore HP to their allies frequently. At level 6, it’s best to select Cotton Guard, as this furthers Eldegoss' healing abilities and provides a shield for allies. For held items, the priority is simply staying alive long enough to keep supporting allies, so items like the Shell Bell or Focus Band that heal are great. On the other hand,Exp Share will allow Eldegoss to keep upwith its allies in level despite not getting many captures for itself, and the Buddy Barrier will add even more healing ability to Eldegoss. Finally, players should choose either the Potion for improved survivability or the Eject Button for an escape method as their battle item.
Pokemon Unite - Crowd Control Eldegoss Build
Support doesn’t always have to come in the form of healing, andEldegoss has a surprisingly good kitfor keeping the battlefield under control and providing an advantage for its teammates, especially since its passive causes its normal attacks to slow targets. For moves, choose Leaf Tornado at level 4, as this can be used to create a path in and out of battle for allies. At level 6, Cotton Spores gives Eldegoss a way to slow multiple enemy Pokemon all at once. For held items, Exp Share is the most important, as players still aren’t likely to get and KOs themselves. The other two items can be whatever players want, but the healing held items are still helpful in this build as well. Finally, players should take either the Fluffy Tail or the Slow Smoke into combat as their battle item, as both help to hinder opponents and make getting KOs easier for teammates.
