Get your free Zeraora from Pokemon Unite before August 31

The easy access promotion ends then, but there will be other ways to get it

Pokémon United is out, and given the slow progress, you’ll want to grab whatever free characters you can get. There are several that you can complete just by leveling up and completing challenges, but Zeraora is the most painless of all – just check your in-game mailbox.

To get Zeraora, you have to manually trade it in a boring way. Go to the main menu, then press X to bring up a submenu on the left. Go to “mail”, then locate the Zeraora message. After clicking on it, you will get the Zeraora license and the character will be playable from now on. It is automatically added to your list and will show as usual without any conditions. You have until August 31st to use your free bonus.

As the official Twitter account notes, mobile gamers (the game is only available on Switch at the moment) will be able to have it at a later date. Asked directly by a fan, the account also clarified: “Yes! There will always be opportunities to add Zeraora to your list after the end of this promotional campaign through completing Special Missions. So if you don’t get it before August 31st, all hope is not lost.

It helps that Zeraora is a fairly efficient character, a speedster type of melee who excels at hunting down enemies, moving quickly to score and escaping when needed. His ‘unite’ (heroic / ultimate) area of ​​effect move is also a giant area of ​​effect, which helps in the middle or end of the game as teams potentially regroup more or fight the boss.
