Pokemon Unite: New Unit Espeon, A Ranged Attacker, Is Now Available

gamespot.com:

Pokemon Unite, a MOBA featuring Pokemon on Switch and mobile, has released a new addition to the roster: Espeon. It can be obtained by either earning mission points, or if you want Espeon immediately, by spending real money.

Espeon occupies the Ranged Attacker role and has great offensive abilities and some support abilities. It ranks lower in Endurance, Mobility, and Scoring. Many of Espeon's attacks can reduce an opponent's movement speed and thereby create openings for other team members to score or go in for the kill.
