Pokémon Unite marks the franchise's next big mobile game, offering a MOBA entry developed in collaboration between TiMi Studios, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. Bringing us real-time 5v5 battles, it's arriving across iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch.

Thankfully, that's pretty simple. On the Nintendo Switch edition, press the B button while holding the Ability you're looking to cancel. Afterwards, your range turns red and that's when you can release it, freeing you to choose the move you're looking at instead.

That's everything you need to know about how to cancel abilities in Pokémon Unite! We'll update this as soon as we know what you need to do to cancel abilities on mobile devices.
