Pokemon Unite: Delphox Builds
Delphox is an Attacker with a Ranged Type in general. Delphox’s Damage Type is Special, unlike physical hitters like Lucario.
Delphox is a (currently) S-tier unit with long-range moves. And a moveset with quick cooldowns, making it easy for beginners and experts alike. Delphox, on the other hand, suffers from a lack of defense and physical attack.
Delphox is better as a DPS (damaged per second) unit. Because it lacks enough Defense to be a barricade against an onslaught of attackers. To maximize its potential, employ its Fire Attacks and equip it with the appropriate Held Items.
Delphox has a few different Builds. That can modify the type of Lane it’s most suited for at the Remoat Stadium. Here’s a rundown of its key moves and greatest items:
Table 1:

| Fire Blast | 6 | 6 seconds | This move will hit anything in front of Delphox. Its leftover trail of flames will deal damage to any Pokemon that happens to in the same lane. |
| Mystical Fire | 6 | 4.5 seconds | Operates similar to Fire Blast, but will explode when it hits its target. |
| Fire Spin | 7 | 8 seconds | Delphox will create a fire tornado that will go after the closest Pokemon. This is a good DPS move to slow down oncoming opponents. |
| Flame Charge | 7 | 5 seconds | Delphox will charge forward and release flames that will slow nearby enemies. |
