Happy 3rd Anniversary, Pokémon UNITE! Let’s celebrate with Ho-Oh!

On July 21, the Pokémon UNITE game celebrates its third anniversary—a big thank you to all the longtime (and new) fans for your support!

And for those who haven’t tried a Unite Battle yet, now might be a good time to start due to all the anniversary goodies and festivities. But before we get to that, let’s start with a recap of what this game is all about.

About Pokémon UNITE

Pokémon UNITE is a free-to-start game where Pokémon Trainers face off in 5-on-5 team battles. Trainers can deck out their Pokémon in holographic outfits (called Holowear), obtain licenses to use specific Pokémon in battle, strategize with powerful Unite Moves, and enjoy cross-platform support for both the Nintendo Switch™ and mobile* versions of the game. You can download the Nintendo Switch version from Nintendo.com or Nintendo eShop on your device.

Ho-Oh havoc

As part of the 3rd Anniversary celebration, the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh will be introduced to Pokémon UNITE. From now until Aug. 11 at 4:59 p.m. PT, you can take part in a special event. Roll the free in-game die and complete missions—once you meet the criteria, you’ll get a token that can be exchanged for the Ho-Oh license! Please check the game for all the die-rolling details.

More anniversary events

In addition to Ho-Oh, there will also be a Charizard license distribution, free in-game prize machine spins, and a premium pass (sold separately) that features Dark Lord Style – Charizard. Other anniversary details can be discovered at https://unite.pokemon.com or in the game. We hope you enjoy!
