class TestStaticPages(unittest.TestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(self):
        self.value = "ABC"

    def test_base_route(self, client, client_1):

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do this. In the pytest documentation, it is stated that:

unittest.TestCase methods cannot directly receive fixture arguments as implementing that is likely to inflict on the ability to run general unittest.TestCase test suites.

So your client and client_1 functions can be called when the test case is run, but you can't get access to their return values.
