Pokémon Unite 1-Year Anniversary Event Will Add Six Pokémon
A one-year launch anniversary celebration for Pokémon Unite will add six new playable Pokémon, a Boss Rush mode, log-in bonuses and more. The multiplayer online battle arena lets players take control of various pocket monsters for intense team-based combat. Pokémon Unite launched on Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2021, and developer TiMi Studio Group is celebrating the game's first year.
While most Pokémon games let players battle and capture pocket monsters, Pokémon Unite lets players actually control these iconic creatures. The free-to-play MOBA brings two teams of five players to Aeos Island, a large map dotted with goals and wild Pokémon. Teams can earn points by defeating each other in combat, knocking out computer-controlled Pokémon or scoring at one of the goals scattered across the map. Each of Pokémon Unite's playable creatures have their own unique set of skills, and TiMi Studio Group regularly adds new Pokémon. The last new addition to the Pokémon Unite roster was the Fire and Psychic-Type Pokémon Delphox, but soon six additional monsters will be introduced.
