In Pokémon Unite, there are many cute and powerful creatures to choose from, one of these is a fluffy little friend named Greedent. Strangely, despite being minimally spooky, this fat-cheeked monster arrived in Unite alongside the Halloween update on October 20, and takes on the role of defender.
If you’re thinking about picking up Pokémon Unite’s Greedent with your hard-earned Aeos coins or gems, we’re here to help. This handy guide includes our recommended build, a list of all of its moves, and the best held and battle items for the adorable little critter.
For those of you who are interested in finding out which character is best, make sure you head over to our Pokémon Unite tier list. And if Greedent isn’t for you, we also have guides that can help you master Pokémon Unite’s Gengar, Pokémon Unite’s Venusaur, and Pokémon Unite’s Cramorant, among many others.

What is the Pokémon Unite’s Greedent moveset?
Learn more about each of Greedent’s moves and find out which attack we recommend you pick up.
Greedent’s passive ability
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Cheek pouch | Passive | When Greedent eats a berry, it recovers HP after the original effects of the berry. It also stashes another berry in its tail, if it gets hit, it will drop the berry |
Greedent’s early game abilities
You get to use both of these moves eventually, so it doesn’t matter too much what you pick. We prefer to go for tackle first, so that you can take down enemies quickly and pick up a bit of extra experience.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Defense curl | Buff | Eight seconds | Greedent receives a shield and drops a berry |
| Tackle | Dash | Six seconds | Greedent leaps towards an enemy, dealing damage and decreasing their movement speed |
Greedent’s mid-game abilities
At level five you get to choose between a buff or a hindrance. As Greedent is a defender in Pokémon Unite, it makes more sense to pick up a move that helps it out with this role. Go with stuff cheeks for some heals in a pinch, or even a shield if you’re at full health.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Stuff cheeks | Buff | Eight seconds | Greedent drops berries that recover HP. If you have full HP, the berries create a shield instead |
| Covet | Hindrance | Nine seconds | Greedent runs towards an enemy, causing damage and throwing them backwards. If you eat a dropped berry, movement speed is increased |
Greedent’s late-game abilities
Now that you’re at level seven, you have another choice to make. As Greedent excels as a tank, we recommend that you grab belch, as you can slow down enemies, deal a little bit of damage, and even heal if you’ve managed to pick up a berry along the way.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Bullet seed | Ranged | Five seconds | Greedent spits seeds at an enemy to deal damage and decrease their movement speed. The more berries you have stashed, the more damage this move does |
| Belch | Ranged | Five seconds | Deals damage and slows enemy movement speed. Any berry you have is consumed |
Greedent’s end game ability
Here’s everything you need to know about Greedent’s unite move.
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Berry belly flop | Area | Greedent eats a berry to recover HP, then leaps to a designated area to deal damage and push enemies back. You then eat a special berry that allows you to carry as many berries as you like for a short time, this also resets the cooldown for every move |
