==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Bubble is {{p|Greninja}}'s first move and {{p|Azumarill}}'s second move.
 
Azumarill starts with the move. The user bubbles in a cone; dealing damage to enemies in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. This move can be used while moving. At level 7, it is replaced by either {{m|Play Rough}} or {{m|Water Pulse}}.
 
Greninja starts with the move as {{p|Froakie}}. The user launches 2 bubbles which pop when they hit an enemy, damaging and slowing them. After evolving from {{p|Frogadier}} at level 7, it is replaced by either {{m|Water Shuriken}} or {{m|Surf}}.

In Pokémon UNITE, Bubble is Greninja's first move and Azumarill's second move.

Azumarill starts with the move. The user bubbles in a cone; dealing damage to enemies in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. This move can be used while moving. At level 7, it is replaced by either Play Rough or Water Pulse.

Greninja starts with the move as Froakie. The user launches 2 bubbles which pop when they hit an enemy, damaging and slowing them. After evolving from Frogadier at level 7, it is replaced by either Water Shuriken or Surf.
