Stealth into battle and strike when the time is right with Inteleon in Pokémon UNITE! Inteleon begins each match as the sensitive Sobble before evolving into the dreary Drizzile and finally the suave Inteleon. The Secret Agent Pokémon is renowned for its sneaky tactics, slippery moves, and powerful water-shooting fingertips, and it harnesses those strengths as a sharp-eyed Ranged Attacker on Aeos Island. You can obtain Inteleon for 13,000 Aeos coins or 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee shop. Inteleon will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release.
Read on to learn more about everything the Secret Agent Pokémon has to offer before taking aim on Aeos Island.
Inteleon Basics
Ability: Sniper
The Pokémon deals increased damage to opposing Pokémon when it lands a critical hit. When the Pokémon is near a wall, it becomes camouflaged, and opposing Pokémon are unable to target it. The Pokémon gains one critical counter whenever a set amount of time passes while camouflaged (up to a maximum of 3 counters). When a critical counter is consumed, this Pokémon’s next basic attack or move that has a set chance of becoming a critical hit is guaranteed to be a critical hit.
Basic Attacks
The Pokémon’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage with an increased critical-hit rate.
Lv. 1 & 3 Moves
-
Tearful Look
Sobble decreases the Attack and Sp. Atk of the designated opposing Pokémon and increases its own movement speed for a short time. -
Water Gun
Sobble squirts water, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. Water Gun has a set chance of becoming a critical hit.
Lv. 5 Moves

Fell Stinger
Drizzile fires a sharp stinger in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. If the stinger hits a wall, Drizzile moves to the point the stinger hit, and Fell Stinger’s cooldown is reduced. If the stinger hits an opposing Pokémon or a wall, Drizzile gains one critical counter. Fell Stinger can be upgraded to reduce its cooldown. -
Acrobatics
Drizzile glides in the designated direction, and if it hits an opposing Pokémon or wall, it can glide in a designated direction again. If Drizzile hits an opposing Pokémon while gliding, it deals damage to the opposing Pokémon and decreases its movement speed. Every time Acrobatics is used, Drizzile gains one critical counter. Acrobatics can also be used while attacking with Liquidation. Acrobatics can be upgraded to increase the first glide’s travel distance.
Lv. 7 Moves

Snipe Shot
Inteleon aims in the designated direction for a set amount of time and then fires a water projectile, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits while partially ignoring their Sp. Def. The farther away Inteleon is from the opposing Pokémon it hits, the more damage Snipe Shot does. Snipe Shot has a set chance of becoming a critical hit. A maximum of three uses can be kept in reserve for Snipe Shot, and Snipe Shot can be upgraded to decrease the time it takes to store one of its uses. -
Liquidation
Inteleon continually fires water projectiles from both hands, dealing damage to the designated opposing Pokémon it hits. If Liquidation hits 5 times within a short period of time, damage the opposing Pokémon takes from the Inteleon’s attacks will be increased for a short time. Liquidation has a set chance of becoming a critical hit. Liquidation can also be used while moving via Acrobatics. Liquidation can be upgraded to increase the number of water projectiles fired.
Inteleon’s Unite Move, Azure Spy Vision
For a short time, Inteleon can see nearby Pokémon that are in stealth or hiding in tall grass. Also, Inteleon’s critical-hit rate is doubled, and it gains one critical counter whenever a set amount of time passes.
Metagame Watch
Strong Against: Scizor
Scizor is one of the bulkiest Melee All-Rounders in Pokémon UNITE, but without Double Hit, it can struggle to stick to its target. Inteleon’s Fell Stinger and Acrobatics are both strong moves that allow Inteleon to not only escape from Scizor and its Bullet Punch but also to reposition and retaliate with Liquidation. Since Inteleon’s Sniper Ability almost guarantees a flurry of critical hits against its enemy, Scizor can also struggle to restore enough HP with Bullet Punch to stay in the fight.
Weak Against: Dodrio
While Ranged Attackers love keeping their distance and dealing damage over time, Speedsters love the opposite—launching into battle and ending it in a flash. Dodrio is currently one of the strongest Speedsters in Pokémon UNITE, and it has both the damage and movement speed to catch up with Inteleon and knock it out quickly. Dodrio’s Agility and boosted attack make the Triple Bird Pokémon’s job quite the threat, so it’s best to avoid picking a fight with one without a Defender by your side.
