Each team has a {{OBP|base|UNITE}}, where each member of the team starts a Unite Battle from and reappears at after being [[Faint|knocked out]]. One action that players can perform is Returning, also known as To Base. After a certain amount of time is spent standing in place, the Pokémon will be warped to its team's base. However, moving or taking damage will cancel the charge. On certain stages, To Base is not usable.

Participating in Unite Battles will earn the player [[Battle Point (UNITE)|Battle Points]], [[Aeos Coins]], and (after reaching {{pkmn|Trainer}} Level 6) Aeos energy. By spending coins, energy, and other currencies, the player can [[UNITE License|unlock Pokemon]] and customization options.

===Ranked Match===
Ranked Matches are unlocked at Trainer level 6. Ranked mode can be entered with at least 5 Pokémon Unite Licenses. They are 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in Theia Sky Ruins (formerly Remoat Stadium prior to Theia Sky Ruins' addition). Players may play solo or form in groups of two, three, or five. Team members must be within similar ranks to each other. Players can only use Unite Licenses that they own in this mode. (Trial licenses are not allowed to be used in Ranked Matches.)

Starting in Ranked Match Season 18, when players reach the Master rank, if all of the players matched have 1400 Master points or higher, Pokemon will be selected through a [[Draft Pick (UNITE)|draft system]] in which both teams ban two Pokémon from usage in the match and then both teams take turns choosing Pokémon in a 1-2-2-2-2-1 format, where one team gets to choose the first Pokémon, then the teams alternate between choosing 2 Pokémon at a time, then the other team gets the last pick. Players may also choose to request to switch picking positions with an ally. All Pokémon can only be picked once, meaning that both teams may not have the same Pokémon.

There are currently 62 playable Pokémon, as well as 3 upcoming Pokémon. To play as a certain Pokémon, players need to obtain the license for that Pokémon. Each week, three licenses are made available as trial Unite licenses. (If the player is a [[UNITE Club Membership|UNITE Club member]], two more trial licenses are available.) Additionally, for the first weekend of every month, known as Unite Weekend in-game, players are given trial Unite Licenses for every Pokémon. Players can use Pokémon with trial Unite licenses in all modes except for Ranked Battle. When starting a match, players start as the base evolutionary stage of the Pokemon selected, and can level up and evolve as the match progresses.

As of the version 1.13.1.2 update, certain licenses are labelled as EX Licenses, this label is reserved for [[Legendary Pokémon]] that have mechanics allowing them to use up Aeos energy to make themselves stronger in battle, at the cost of limiting their scoring capabilities. EX licenses may be restricted from use in ranked matches, however the restrictions vary depending on the ranked season.
