Pokémon Unite has finally launched for smartphones and arrives with a space themed battle pass, brand new skins, and more. The game also includes a new Unite Squads feature to bring together different players with a similar goal.

For those unaware, the game had first launched on the Nintendo Switch back in July 2021. Now, it is finally available on smartphones as a free to play title that lets you join online battles. With its launch of the mobile platform, the game also arrives with Galactic Ghost 094 battle pass. This is a notable addition to the title, although, it is unlikely to bring a significant addition to the established lore.

Alongside the new battle pass, the game also brings new space themed items that your trainer can wear. All of these will be available for those who complete missions. Although, there will be even more customization offered to the premium users who buy the new battle pass. Furthermore, the game also arrives with the highly anticipated Mamoswine and Sylveon as playable characters for your roster along with special missions reprising the Switch launch’s bonus.

As of right now, the mobile version of the game has already generated around five million pre-registrations and for this milestone the game is also hosting an event, which will be exclusive top the mobile version. This event will rewards players with Aeos tickets, a license for Pikachu, and a Holowear for the yellow monster called Festival Style. The game will offer another 1,000 Aeos tickets if the game reached 7.5 million unique registrations.

The latest game within the popular Pokémon franchise has just been launched. Pokémon Unite has been developed by Tencent‘s TiMi Studios and brings your favorite Pokémons in a new team strategy based MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) title to your handheld devices.

The game highly resembles popular video game titles within the same genre, namely DOTA 2 and League of Legends. Looking at the map, a similar three lane style has been adopted within the 5 versus 5 player battle arena. From the launch trailer, we also see fan favorites like Charizard use their iconic fire abilities. Hence, it’s safe to assume it would play a lot like League or DOTA.

Notably, the developer behind the game, TiMi Studios, has also developed the extremely successful Honor of Kings and Call of Dute: Mobile, which were both free to play on smartphones. Pokémon Unite will also be free to play and will arrive with crossplay from the get go, with players joining in on both smartphones and the Nintendo Switch.

Unfortunately, Pokémon Unite doesn’t have an official release date as of yet. However, it is expected to arrive soon. Finer details into its mechanics, gameplay, and even characters are also unknown but from the looks of the trailer, it already appeals to the Pokémon fan within us.
