What Is Unite API (uniteapi.dev)?

Updated

Unite API (uniteapi.dev) is a Pokémon UNITE stats and leaderboard site. It lets you look up player statistics and rankings, and it publishes current-patch meta data — win rate, ban rate, and pick rate — for Pokémon in the game. It's useful if you want to track your own performance or check which characters are performing well in the current patch.

What the site provides

Based on the site's own listing, the core offerings are:

  • Player statistics — look up stats for individual players.
  • Leaderboards and rankings — see where players stand relative to others.
  • Meta data for the current patch — aggregated win rate, ban rate, and pick rate, with a "View full meta" link to the complete breakdown.

The meta section is the most concrete part visible on the page. It ranks Pokémon in three separate categories rather than one combined list.

Reading the meta data

The site presents three ranked lists, each with a percentage and a change indicator (a signed delta showing movement):

Category What it measures Example from the page
Win Rate Share of matches won by teams using that Pokémon Gyarados 53.3% (−0.2%)
Ban Rate How often the Pokémon is banned One entry at 99.4% (+7.1%)
Pick Rate How often the Pokémon is selected One entry at 19.3% (+4.4%)

The top five in each category, as shown on the page:

Win Rate

  1. Gyarados — 53.3% (−0.2%)
  2. Duraludon — 53.3% (−0.2%)
  3. Garchomp — 53.0% (−0.4%)
  4. (name shown as a placeholder tag) — 52.7% (−0.1%)
  5. Mr. Mime — 52.6% (+2.1%)

Ban Rate

  1. (placeholder tag) — 99.4% (+7.1%)
  2. Mr. Mime — 0.7% (−0.0%)
  3. Duraludon — 0.5% (+0.2%)
  4. Gyarados — 0.2% (+0.1%)
  5. Garchomp — 0.2% (+0.0%)

Pick Rate

  1. (placeholder tag) — 19.3% (+4.4%)
  2. Mr. Mime — 7.3% (−0.1%)
  3. Garchomp — 5.0% (+0.1%)
  4. Duraludon — 3.4% (−0.1%)
  5. Gyarados — 3.2% (+0.3%)

Note that some entries appear as a placeholder tag rather than a readable name in the page data, so a few rows can't be identified from the excerpt alone.

How to use these numbers

The three rates answer different questions, and reading them together is more informative than reading any one alone:

  • Win rate tells you how often a Pokémon wins when it's played. A high win rate with a low pick rate can mean a niche pick that only dedicated players use.
  • Ban rate tells you how much the player base fears a Pokémon. A very high ban rate (like the 99.4% entry above) means it's almost always removed from play, which can make its win rate less meaningful.
  • Pick rate tells you how common a Pokémon is. High pick rate plus high win rate is the clearest signal of a strong meta pick.

The signed percentages next to each entry show how the number moved, so you can see whether a Pokémon is trending up or down rather than just where it sits right now.

Practical uses

  • Tracking your own play: look up your player statistics to see how you're performing.
  • Checking the patch: before building a team, check the current win, ban, and pick rates to see what's strong.
  • Comparing against leaderboards: use rankings to see how top players are performing.

The site describes itself simply as a way to "track your Pokémon UNITE stats, leaderboards and more," and the visible page content matches that: player lookup, rankings, and per-patch meta rates.
