Pokémon UNITE
In Pokémon UNITE, Tackle is Snorlax's, Azumarill's and Greedent's first move, as well as Mamoswine's second move.
Snorlax starts with the move. The user dashes a short distance forward, dealing damage and stunning the first target hit. The user’s next basic attack is empowered. At level 5 it is replaced by either Heavy Slam or Flail.
Azumarill starts with the move as Marill. The user charges forward, dealing damage to any enemy hit and leaving them unable to act for a short time. After evolving from Marill at level 5, it is replaced by either Whirlpool or Aqua Tail.
Mamoswine starts with the move as Swinub. The user rushes recklessly in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies they hit and throws them in the air. After reaching level 7 as Piloswine, it is replaced by either High Horsepower or Earthquake.
Greedent starts with the move as Skwovet. The user leaps to the designated area, dealing damage to enemies in the area of effect and decrease their movement speed for a short time. If this move is used while Covet is active, no area can be designated for the user to leap to. Instead, while the user is running, damage is dealt in an area to enemies in front of the user. If the user has any Oran Berries stashed, consume all of them, reducing Tackle's cooldown 1 second for each Berry consumed. At level 7 it is replaced by either Bullet Seed or Belch.
