Levels 1/2
swifts – 7s Cooldown – Shoots a star-shaped beam at opposing Pokémon, dealing damage to them.
Baby-Doll Eyes – 5s Cooldown – Stares at an opposing Pokemon, dealing damage and reducing the Attack and movement speed of the opposing Pokemon for a short time.
Swift is the option we'll go with, but you'll unlock the other move at level 2 so whichever option you choose doesn't really matter.
Level 4
Mystical Fire – 7s Cooldown – Creates four small flames while advancing in the designated direction. The flames shoot at opposing Pokémon one by one, dealing damage and reducing Sp. Opponent Pokémon. Attack for the short time they hit. Every time the flame hits, it reduces the cooldown of this move.
Upgrade: Increases the number of flames by one.
HyperVoice – 5s Cooldown – Releases an attack of multiple sound waves that deals damage. The damage they deal increases the farther the target is from the user. Each time a sound wave hits, the damage of the next sound wave increases.
Upgrades: Increase the number of sound waves one by one.
We recommend using Mystical Fire when playing as Sylveon in Pokemon Unite because it can deal damage and reduce Sp. Attack the opposing Pokemon that you hit with it.
However, if you are an accurate player who wants pure damage, then Hyper Voice is also a good choice.
Level 6
Drain Kiss – 10s Cooldown – Blows a kiss to an opposing Pokémon, which flips back and forth a number of times. When the kiss touches the user, it restores his HP. When it hits an opposing Pokémon, it deals damage to it and reduces its movement speed for a short time.

Calm Mind – 10 second Cooldown – Will the user calmly focus his mind and calm his spirit to increase his Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and movement speed for a short time.
Upgrades: Only once while using this move, if the user is hit by an opposing Pokémon's move, the damage is completely cleared and the user is granted a shield
Draining Kiss is the move that you choose most often for Sylveon in Pokemon Unite. This is because it lets you heal in the middle of battle, meaning you don't have to rely on your teammates for support.
Alternatively, Calm Mind can also be effective as it allows you to withstand some damage from Sp. attacks as well as dealing some more damage as well.

Sylveon's strategy in Pokemon Unite
- Sylveon is best suited for playing in the upper lanes in Pokemon Unite, but you can have a lot of success playing in the lower lanes too – avoid the jungle!
- Make sure to farm wild Pokemon whenever you can. Sylveon unlocks her Unite Move much faster than many other Pokemon, at level 8, so be sure to take advantage of this.
- Keep your distance and make the most of your ranged attacks – you don't have the durability or speed to get into close combat.
- Make your lane mates into tanky characters like Snorlax or Blissey to do most of the damage for you.
