Pokémon UNITE (Japanese: Pokémon UNITE) is a free-to-start spin-off Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. It is developed by TiMi Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent Games. The game was released in July 21, 2021 on the Nintendo Switch[1] and scheduled to be released in September 2021 for mobile devices.[2] It is playable in nine languages, with Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese to be available at launch and German, Spanish, French, and Italian to be available in the second half of 2021.

It was announced during Pokémon Presents on June 24, 2020. A closed beta test occurred in mainland China beginning in January 2021, and a regional beta test on Android devices occurred in Canada in March 2021.[3] A network test was held for the Nintendo Switch version in Japan from June 24 to June 26, 2021.[4]

Blurb

Experience a new kind of Pokémon battle in Pokémon UNITE. Team up and face off in 5-on-5 team battles to see who can score the most points within the allotted time. Work together with your fellow Trainers to catch wild Pokémon, level up and evolve your partner Pokémon, and defeat the opposing team’s Pokémon to prevent them from scoring points. Put your teamwork to the test, and take home the win!

Gameplay

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.

Players compete in Unite Battles, where two teams attempt to score points in the opposing team's goals while guarding their own. To score, players collect Aeos energy by defeating wild Pokémon or members of the enemy team them bring it to an opposing goal. The team with the highest score after ten minutes wins; if there is a tie, the team that reached the tied score first wins.

Pokémon begin a match at level one in their lowest form (discounting baby Pokémon) and gain experience gradually over time and by defeating wild Pokémon. Pokémon will evolve (except Pikachu) and learn new moves as they level up, much like the core series. Initially, a Pokémon has two moves and the player chooses which one to keep. The other move is then unlocked at level three. These moves are upgraded at proceeding levels with the player choosing one of two moves to replace the move with. At the Pokémon's final level it unlocks its Unite Move, a separate attack that must charge over time.

Participating in Unite battles will earn the player Battle Points, Aeos coins, and (after reaching Trainer level six) Aeos energy.

Game modes

Standard Battle

Standard Battle is the default game mode and has three types of matches within its umbrella: Random Match, CPU Match, and Friendly Match. They are all 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in Remoat Stadium. Players may play solo or form in groups of any size.

Random Matches will randomly match players of comparable skill into two teams. CPU Matches will randomly match one team of five against a team of CPUs. Friendly Matches allow up to 10 players to join two teams, with CPUs filling in any empty spots. Rewards such as Aeos coins and Battle Points are not awarded in Friendly Matches.

Ranked Battle

Ranked Battles are unlocked at Trainer level six. They are 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in Remoat Stadium. Players may play solo or form in groups of two, three, or five. Team members must be within similar ranks to each other.

Quick Battle

Quick battles are unlocked at level 8. They are shorter than Standard Battles at 5 minutes with 4v4 or 3v3 teams. The Quick Battles maps rotate periodically allowing players to only chose from one available Quick Battle Map at a time. Each map has different rules.

Wild Pokémon

Defeating wild Pokémon is the primary way of collecting Aeos energy. They will generally attack Trainers' Pokémon that come near or attack them and chase after them a limited distance. As the Unite Battle progresses, some will despawn while other, more powerful Pokémon will spawn. Additionally, some wild Pokémon may evolve at later stages of the battle.

Certain wild Pokémon will give the Pokémon that knocked them out buffs. These buffs include damage shields, increased damage against wild Pokémon with low HP, and decreasing the movement speed of enemies hit by the buffed Pokémon. Other wild Pokémon will assist the Pokémon that knocked them out by lowering the opposing team's goal's defenses. This allows goals to be scored faster.

Beginner bonuses

New accounts receive bonuses for a time, such as additional Battle Points for completing matches and gifts for logging in for the first two weeks. At Trainer level five, players also unlock the Beginner Challenge, a set of missions that are only availble for 30 days.

Currencies

Items in Pokémon UNITE are bought with three currencies: Aeos coins, Aeos tickets, and Aeos gems. Aeos coins buy Pokémon licenses, battle items, and hold items. Aeos tickets buy fashion items, battle and hold items, and other items such as boost cards and item enhancers. Aeos gems can buy licenses, fashion items, boost and rename cards, energy tanks, and Holowear. They can also be used in place of Aeos tickets if the player does not have enough. In such cases, an Aeos gem is worth ten Aeos tickets. There are also specific tickets for fashion and Holowear that can only be used for specific items.

Aeos coins are obtained through battles, though are restricted to 2,100 per week. Aeos tickets are obtained as ranked match season rewards. Both can also be given to players through events. Fashion and Holowear tickets can be found in battle pass prize boxes and as energy rewards.
