Pokemon Unite players discuss the hilarious critical damage incident on Reddit

A seemingly simple combat interaction gone awry is at the heart of this unusual event. During a typical match, a player managed to land a critical hit with Scizor on an opposing Greedent.

Critical hits in games like Pokemon Unite are usually expected to deal significantly more damage than regular attacks, making them crucial in turning the tides of battle.

However, in this case, the critical hit astonishingly resulted in a mere 1-damage point, leaving players confused.

The Unite community's response to this anomaly was swift and saturated with humor. Comments ranged from exaggerated sarcasm to nerf Scizor's overpowering 1-damage critical hit to others sympathizing with Greedent for enduring such an "intense" attack.

Amidst the jesting, theories about the damage reduction abilities of Greedent or the potential use of Pokemon Unite Battle items, possible calculation errors or bugs in the game's mechanics have also emerged, pointing to the complexity of the game's battle system.

While the incident has amused many in the Unite community, it opens up conversations about the game's underlying mechanics.

Scizor, known for its quick, successive attacks rather than high damage output, might have encountered a perfect storm of damage reduction effects from Greedent, suggesting that the game's damage calculation system is more intricate than some players assume.

This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and sometimes humorous outcomes that can result from the interplay of various game mechanics.


As the community debates over the historically lowest critical hit, it's evident that the Pokemon Unite competitive scene not only upholds an ambitious atmosphere for participants but also fosters moments of unpredictability and fellowship.

Whether this will lead to actual changes in the game or remain a humorous footnote in its history remains to be seen.
