In a press release, Pokémon UNITE developers said Decidueye is characterized by its speed ability increasing every after shot. This effect will stack and by activating it every third time, Pokémon Unite says “basic attacks become boosted attacks for a short time.” Moreover, Decidueye’s Ability, Long Reach, increases damage to distant opposing Pokémon.

Decidueye starts as Rowlet from Level One to Level Three where it acquires Leafage and Astonish. Rowlet’s Attack and speed increase over time by using Leafage. Meanwhile, Astonish decreases an opposing Pokémon’s movement speed. When Rowlet evolves to Datrix at Level Five, a player can upgrade these skills further. Once a player is able to evolve Datrix into Decidueye at Level Seven, Leafage is upgradeable into either Razor Leaf or Spirit Shackle. Additionally, Astonish is upgradeable to either Leaf Storm or Shadow Sneak starting at Level Eight.

As a Ranged Attacker, Decidueye’s main move allows it to sneak attack an opposing Pokémon leaving it defenseless. This Pokémon acquires its main UNITE attack, Nock Nock, starting at Level Nine. Pokémon UNITE says, “Nock Nock fires quills in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon.” The attack culminates by releasing a large quill which causes damage to any opposing Pokémon it hits. However, while Decidueye becomes invincible against any hindrances, the Pokémon is unable to move when using this skill.
