Pokémon Unite gets space battle pass, squads, skins, and more

Pokemon unite finally arrives in his natural home on mobile Wednesday, and he brings with him some neat new pieces and bobs. There is a new battle pass called Galactic Ghost 094 which is the addition of space-themed items to the game, the arrival of Mamoswine and Sylveon, and a new feature called Unite Squads, making it easier to find “like-minded” teams to play the MOBA-ish game free-to-start.

Unite has been It works very well on Nintendo Switch since its release in July of this year, but of course it’s on electronic phones that a free online battle game will find its squillions of players. It becomes a reality tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd, and of course the moment comes with a series of new inclusions.

The new battle pass, Galactic Ghost 094, is the big seller here. Space seems to me to be the least explored area of ​​Pokémon, despite monsters like Deoxys, Cleffa, Lunatone, Staryu, etc. While the game is unlikely to add anything significant to the lore, it might be fun for them to at least hint at the origins of some of the more mysterious beasts. Various spacious items your trainer can carry will be available for those who complete missions, and of course, there is more for those who shell out for the premium pass.

Also arriving Mamoswine and Sylveon, long promised, as playable characters for your roster. There will also be a special mission picking up the Switch launch bonus, allowing newbies to get a Unite license for speedster Zeraora.

The mobile version has apparently garnered five million “pre-registrations” and to mark that number (because they certainly wouldn’t have done anything if it had been 4,999,999), there is an event unique to the mobile version that will reward 1,000 Aeos tickets , a license for Pikachu, and a Holowear for the yellow monster called Festival Style. And you know what, if they hit 7.5 million, there will still be 1,000 counterfeit bills! Tell your 2.5 million friends!

Then there are the Unite squads. It’s a way for Switch and mobile gamers to team up more easily. As developer TiMi explains,

“Coaches can create their own teams or search for already existing teams to join and connect with other players. By choosing squad tags that others can search for, like-minded trainers can find each other easily.

If you’ve played on Switch and want to, uh, switch to mobile, that can be achieved by linking your Nintendo Account or Pokémon Trainer Club account to both versions. Then you can happily jump between the two. Oh, and they’re finally adding better language support, with French, German, Italian, and Spanish languages ​​added to the game tomorrow as well.
