Pokemon Unite is a MOBA-style game in which teams of five Pokemon battle to score points on the opponent’s side of the field. The game features a roster of dozens of Pokemon, with Pokemon broadly falling into one of several categories like Attacker, All-Rounder, Defender, or Speedster. In addition to fast-paced battles, a key to the game is strategy and solid teamwork. Pokemon Unite has emerged as one of the pillars of Pokemon competitive play, alongside the Pokemon video games and trading card game.
Pokemon Unite’s first three years has seen the game grow considerably in terms of size, but it has also faced some significant hurdles. Players have complained of power creep in terms of new Pokemon and an aggressive monetization strategy and new roster additions have slowed considerably over the course of 2024. However, recent playtests have hinted at a new wave of announcements, including at least three new Pokemon additions.
More details about the new game mode will be announced in the coming months, and more announcements for the game are expected at the closing ceremony at the Pokemon World Championships.
