Pokémon Unity Lab (Japanese: ポケモン共生研究所 Pokémon Symbiosis Research Institute) is a laboratory located in Ryme City in the game Detective Pikachu Returns. Before the events of Detective Pikachu Returns, the lab was closed after a berserk Pokémon rampage caused by R resulted in the death of Emma Myers. However the lab opened secretly as a base for Unitas headed by Howard Myers and Charles Merloch. The basement floors are destroyed after the battle between Merloch and Mewtwo.
Geography
The Pokémon Unity Lab is a large complex of buildings which rises up to four storeys above ground and five basement floors below. Tim, Pikachu and Rachel explore the exterior before finding a hole in the wall which allows them to enter the locked unused building. They find a section which had been walled off, which allows the team to enter the basement floors after destroying the false concrete wall.
The five basement floors make up the headquarters of Unitas, divided operationally into the Management Team located on B1, the Operations Team on B2 and B3, and the Research Team on B4 and B5. The five levels can be accessed with an elevator which requires the use of a card pass, or stairs which are locked with a passcode which is updated monthly.
Exterior
The Pokémon Unity Lab's exterior is mostly empty as Unitas does not use the lab's main entrances to access the building. The exterior is maintained by a janitor and his Garbodor. A hole in the wall allows Tim, Pikachu and Rachel to access the building.
First floor
The lab lobby is the only location on the first floor explored by Tim. The lobby is seen to be in disrepair, trashed after the events of R. A section had been walled up with concrete to prevent access to the basement floors.
B1
B1 consists of two rooms. Tim, Pikachu and Rachel save a dehydrated Wooper in one of these rooms before finding the passcode to access the stairs to B2.
B2
B2 consists of an open research area housing a machine used to analyze meteorites, followed by two large storage areas. The first storage area is filled with many containers which need to be navigated with the assistance of Pangoro. The second is guarded by a Dusknoir user the influence of a Control Cube.
B3
B3 consists of two detainment rooms and a storage room. The detainment rooms contain several Pokémon used to experiment Control Cubes. One of these rooms contained a Hariyama, which had partially destroyed the floor. Tim, Pikachu and Rachel use this weakened point in the floor after opening the hole up further with the assistance of an Excadrill.
B4
B4 consists of an open research space, which opens up to Merloch's lab. The door to Merloch's lab is initially broken, requiring missing gears to function, which Tim fixes with the help of a Klink. A second door inside his lab leads to a deeper lab containing several high-tech equipment. This second secret lab is not present on the floor plan.
The left side of B4 contain several storage rooms, requiring the assistance of Galarian Darmanitan to get passed multiple crates.

B5
The layout of B5 is vastly different from the other floors, and is one large single room with Merloch's fusion machine. The climax of the game, including uncovering the truth of Merloch's plans to Howard Myers, Merloch's fusion with Deoxys, and Merloch's battle against Mewtwo take place here.
