Pokemon Unite

Join Trainers from around the world as they head for Aeos Island to compete in Unite Battles. In Unite Battles, Trainers face off in 5-on-5 team battles to see who can battle better, maneuver smarter, and earn the most points within the allotted time.

Teamwork is key as you and your teammates defeat wild Pokemon, level up, evolve your own Pokemon, and work to prevent the opposing team from scoring points. Put your teamwork to the test, and take home the win

Today's mobile launch of Pokemon Unite also brings the following updates:

• Support for multiple new languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish and English
• Full cross-platform play: With cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and smartphones, players on both platforms can battle together and against one another
• New in-game events: You can get super item enhancers that can upgrade a held item to grade 30. It's now easier for all Trainers to get item enhancers.
• Unite squads: This feature connects you with other players by allowing you to create your own squad or search for already existing squads to join. By using squad tags, you can form or join a squad of like-minded Trainers.
• Galactic Ghost 094: A new battle pass, which features all-new cosmetic items, including new Holowear with special visual effects.
