On July 21st, Pokemon Unite officially turns four years old. But the celebration is kicking off early. The Pokemon Unite 4th anniversary event begins on July 18th with the introduction of new Unite licenses, an Anniversary Cake Challenge, and plenty of free gifts for players. Players can start completing Daily Missions for the Anniversary Event beginning on July 18th, with four new missions arriving every day. Along with that, daily anniversary present boxes will offer frosting to help you earn special rewards faster.
Free rewards are great and all, but for many Unite players, it’s all about the new Pokemon licenses. The anniversary event also marks the debut of Latios, with a Latios event running from July 18th to August 7th. During the event, players can roll on a tile mission board to unlock a license for the legendary Pokemon. But Latios is just the beginning of the celebration. As part of the Pokemon Unite 4th anniversary post, The Pokemon Company revealed that a Pokemon Legends Z-A tie-in is headed our way soon. And it means more Megas in Unite.

Today, Pokemon Unite revealed that it will be bringing several Mega-Evolving Pokemon licenses to the game. In a statement about the upcoming additions, The Pokemon Company confirms that “Mega Evolution will be key to battling” in Pokemon Legends Z-A. So, new and returning Mega-Evolving Licenses in Pokemon Unite just make sense as a way to celebrate both the Unite anniversary and the new game.
Currently, Mewtwo is the only Pokemon in Unite that can Mega Evolve with its forms of Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y. But that”s about to change. In the 4th anniversary post, The Pokemon Company also revealed that it is “planning to add more Unite licenses for Mega-Evolving Pokemon.” These new licenses will celebrate the release of Pokemon Legends Z-A.
