Pokémon UNITE (Japanese: Pokémon UNITE) is a free-to-start online only spin-off Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch, iOS, iPadOS, and Android. It is developed by TiMi Studio Group, a subsidiary of Tencent Games. The game was released on July 21, 2021 on the Nintendo Switch^[1] and it was released on September 22, 2021 for mobile devices.^[2] It is playable in fifteen languages, with Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese having been available since launch, German, Spanish, French, and Italian added on September 22, 2021,^[3] and Brazilian Portuguese, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, Thai, and Turkish added on January 20, 2022.^[4]^[5]

It was announced during Pokémon Presents on June 24, 2020. A closed beta test occurred in mainland China beginning in January 2021, and a regional beta test on Android devices occurred in Canada in March 2021.^[6] A network test was held for the Nintendo Switch version in Japan from June 24 to June 26, 2021.^[7]

Pokémon UNITE was nominated for the Best Mobile Game in The Game Awards 2021.^[8]

A closed beta test on Android devices for a new version of the game for release in mainland China occurred beginning in August 2023. This version has many differences from the version available internationally, such as various gameplay mechanic changes, different modes, and a hub world rather than a main menu. Some of the changes in this version are planned to be added to the international version in 2025. This started with the different battle mechanics being added as a new mode on February 27, 2025.

The mainland Chinese version of the game officially released for mobile devices on November 7, 2024. A network test for playing the game on Nintendo Switch consoles distributed by Tencent in Mainland China was held from June 25 to July 2, 2024. While the game itself was never released on Mainland Chinese Nintendo Switch consoles, the game used for testing was available for download to 1000 players on a first come, first served basis.^[9]

Blurb

Experience a new kind of Pokémon battle in Pokémon UNITE. Team up and face off in 5-on-5 team battles to see who can score the most points within the allotted time. Work together with your fellow Trainers to catch wild Pokémon, level up and evolve your partner Pokémon, and defeat the opposing team’s Pokémon to prevent them from scoring points. Put your teamwork to the test, and take home the win!

Gameplay

Main article: Unite Battle → Gameplay

Players compete in Unite Battles, in which two teams compete against one another to score the highest. Points are earned by scoring goals with Aeos energy, which is earned by defeating wild Pokémon or members of the opposing team.

Pokémon begin a match at level one in their lowest evolved form (discounting baby Pokémon) and gain experience gradually over time, a process which is sped up by defeating wild Pokémon. As Pokémon gain experience and level up, they evolve and learn new moves that they then keep for the rest of the battle. Eventually, they also unlock their Unite Move, a separate, powerful attack that must charge over time.

In the last minute or two of each round, points scored are doubled, and a boss Pokémon will appear, and the team who defeats it will benefit in ways that can turn the tide of the battle. Once time is up, the team with the highest score wins.

Participating in Unite Battles will earn the player Battle Points, Aeos coins, and (after reaching Trainer Level 6) Aeos energy. By spending coins, energy, and other currencies, the player can unlock Pokemon and customization options.

Plot

Pokémon UNITE takes place on Aeos Island, a mythical island said to be on the ocean’s unexplored frontier. The Unite Battle Committee (UBC) runs a series of Unite Battle tournaments, utilizing a mysterious new form of energy known as Aeos energy. These Unite Battles have passionate fans all over the world, and Trainers everywhere long to join in on the action. Before every Unite Battle, participating Pokémon are returned to Lv. 1 through the power of Aeos energy. Aeos energy can also be used in Unite Battles to level and re-evolve Pokémon.

The player is a rookie Trainer who has come to Aeos Island to take part in these battles.^[10] When they arrive, Professor Phorus gives them a presentation on Aeos Island and Unite Battles, then assigns Erbie to teach the player about Unite Battles proper. This leads to a couple of tutorial battles using a Pikachu on loan from the Aeos Research Institute. Erbie concludes the lessons with a gift of a Unite License, an item needed to bring certain specific species of Pokémon to Unite Battles. The player is allowed to roam free on Aeos Island to participate in more Unite Battles, though Erbie shadows them for a while to introduce additional features. Phorus chimes in as well, allowing the player to use their accumulated Aeos energy with a system the instutute created to generate random items.

Main article: Unite Battle → Battle modes

Casual Battle

Casual Battle is the default game mode and has two types of matches within it: Random Match and CPU Match. Both are 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in either Remoat Stadium or Theia Sky Ruins.

First to 500

Main article: First to 500

First to 500 is a new casual battle mode that was added on February 27, 2025.^[11] In this mode, there is no time limit and the goal for both teams is to score 500 points before the other team does. Unlike other modes in the game, players may see their team scores. A unique version of Remoat Stadium is the only map available in this mode.

Ranked Match

Ranked Matches are unlocked at Trainer level 6. Ranked mode can be entered with at least 5 Pokémon Unite licenses. They are 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in Theia Sky Ruins (formerly Remoat Stadium prior to Theia Sky Ruins' addition).The matchmaking system aims to place players with others of similar rankings. Players can only use Unite licenses that they own in this mode. Based on their performance, players receive a rank (Beginner, Great, Expert, Veteran, Ultra, or Master) that can change over time.

Rank

Beginner Rank	Great Rank	Expert Rank	Veteran Rank	Ultra Rank	Master Rank

Quick Battle

Quick Battles are unlocked at level 4. They are shorter than Ranked or Casual Battles at 5 minutes with 4 vs 4 or 3 vs 3 matches and take place in either Mer Stadium, Shivre City, or Auroma Park. The Quick Battles' maps rotate daily, allowing players to only choose from one available Quick Battle map at a time. Each map has modified rules, but adheres to the basic concepts of defeating wild Pokémon to earn Aeos energy and scoring at a goal zone. Certain special limited-time events are also classified as Quick Battles, but may have drastically different rules.

Custom Battle

In Custom Battles, any stage can be chosen across Casual, Ranked, and Quick Battles. If a current event has a Quick Battle that is not a PVE Battle, that can be chosen as well. The player is given the option to either invite friends to join or add computer players to fill in spots for each team. The positions of each player can be swapped before starting the battle, including swapping teams entirely. The player can also set up to 5 players as admins, who do not participate in the battle, but instead spectate the battle. The battle cannot start if all of the participants in the battle proper are CPU characters; at least one team has to have a human.

Tournament Mode

Separate from regular Custom Battles is a tournament mode, which can be accessed from the main menu, rather than the Lobby like the other modes. This mode functions the same as Custom Battles but with the added option to turn on Custom Rules. These rules include allowing all players access to all held items, all held items at max grade, all Unite licenses, and all items, as well as being able to choose the server used for connecting to other players. In this mode, only Theia Sky Ruins can be picked with either regular rules or draft pick rules.

Pokémon

Main article: List of Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE

There are currently 77^{[note 1]} playable Pokémon, as well as 3 upcoming Pokémon. To play as a certain Pokémon, players need to obtain the Unite license for that Pokémon. Each week, three licenses are made available as trial Unite licenses. (If the player is a UNITE Club member, two more trial licenses are available.) Additionally, for the first weekend of every month, known as Unite Weekend in-game, players are given trial Unite licenses for every Pokémon. Players can use Pokémon with trial Unite licenses in all modes except for Ranked Battle. When starting a match, players start as the base evolutionary stage of the Pokemon selected, and can level up and evolve as the match progresses.

From version 1.13.1.2 (released December 5, 2023) to version 1.16.1.2 (released September 5, 2024), certain licenses were labelled as EX Licenses. Usually these were Legendary Pokémon that have mechanics allowing them to use up Aeos energy to make themselves stronger in battle, at the cost of limiting their scoring capabilities. EX licenses were usually restricted from use in ranked matches; however, the restrictions varied depending on the ranked season.

The playable Pokémon are split into five different roles (sometimes referred to as Battle Types):

Attacker: Pokémon that deal high amounts of ranged damage, but have low endurance
All-Rounder: Pokémon that have balanced amounts of offense and endurance and tend to have high sustainability
Defender: Pokémon that have high endurance and excel at protecting allies and goals and disrupting opponents
Supporter: Pokémon that support their team by healing allies and/or inflicting status effects on allies or opponents
Speedster: Pokémon that deal high amounts of burst damage and have high mobility, but have low endurance

Holowear

Main article: Holowear

Pokémon may change their appearance by wearing Holowear, a type of holographic clothing made from Aeos energy that is created and sold by Zirco. Holowear can be earned through certain events or purchased through Zirco Trader for Aeos Gems or Holowear tickets. The most prominent of these events is the Battle Pass. Some Holowear changes the visual effects of certain game actions, such as using moves, scoring goals, knocking out Pokémon, and returning to base. Most Holowear only affects fully evolved Pokémon, though some rarer Holowear similarly changes how a Pokémon's pre-evolved forms appear.

Wild Pokémon

Main article: List of Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE → Wild Pokémon

Defeating wild Pokémon is the primary way of collecting Aeos energy. They will generally attack Trainers' Pokémon that come near or attack them and chase after them a limited distance. As the Unite Battle progresses, some will despawn while other, more powerful Pokémon will spawn. Some may also evolve during the Final Stretch of a match.

Special wild Pokémon will give the Pokémon that knocked them out buffs. These buffs include reducing the cooldown time of moves, increased damage against wild Pokémon with low HP, and decreasing the movement speed of enemies hit by the buffed Pokémon. These Pokémon are more durable than normal wild Pokémon, and have one or more moves they can use to defend themselves. The range of the move is indicated by a red shape on the ground as the move is being charged. Even stronger wild Pokémon are "objective" Pokémon. When defeated, they provide a benefit to the team that dealt the last hit in some manner. Some of them will assist the Pokémon that knocked them out by lowering the opposing team's goal's defenses, while others provide Shields to all members of the team or boost the stats of all members of the team. (However, effects that apply to all team members exclude members that are currently knocked out.)

Different wild Pokémon inhabit each of the game's stages. Some event stages have species of wild Pokémon that do not appear on that stage normally or are exclusive to the event.

Items

Main article: List of items in Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, a Pokémon can have up to three held items equipped. Held items enhance a Pokémon's base stats and each have their own passive effect that is applied to the Pokémon. Battle items are used by the Trainer to assist their Pokémon in battle.^[12] Each Trainer only picks one Battle item to use for the entire battle. Battle items can be used during a match to cause an effect to happen that affects either the player's Pokémon or opposing Pokémon, however once they are used they have a cooldown period before they can be used again.

Certain event battles override the Battle item slot, tying unique items or abilities to that input. (Catch 'Em Battle is a permanently available instance of this feature being used, replacing using the battle item with swapping for a captured Pokémon.) In some cases, this means that a normal Battle item cannot be selected for the battle at all.

Trainer

When starting the game, players are given the option to choose either a male or female Trainer to represent themselves. Afterwards, a Unite Snapshot is created for them, which acts as a profile image for the player that may be viewed by other players. These can be customized by using stickers, changing the trainer's position, expression, or pose, or changing the background or frame of the Unite Snapshot. Players can customize their Trainer as well to wear different outfits of the following categories: Bags, Bottoms, Gloves, Hats, Innerwear, Outerwear, Jackets, Sets, Shirts, Shoes, Socks.

Players may also obtain Battle Points for the Pokémon they were playing as, with the player being able to obtain three different Battle Ribbons for each Pokémon when reaching certain Battle Point milestones, a green ribbon for 30,000 points, a blue ribbon for 85,000, and a gold ribbon for 165,000. The total amount of Battle Points from each Pokémon put together are referred to as Trainer points, which will increase the player's Trainer level when reaching certain amounts of Trainer points, with the maximum Trainer level being level 50. The rewards received for reaching different Trainer levels are shown in the table below.

Available starting at Level 6, players can accumulate 1,400 Energy per week. This energy is obtained by playing matches and can be used to get items listed below when the energy tank is filled, which happens when 100 Aeos energy is collected. More energy can be obtained past the weekly limit by using Extra-Energy Tanks which can be obtained as event rewards and bought from the Aeos Emporium for Aeos gems. One energy reward is given for free every day. Only 30 energy rewards can be received per day. If the energy reward is a clothing item that the player already owns, then the duplicate is converted into Fashion Tickets; the same applies with Holowear and Holowear Tickets.

Boost Emblems

Main article: Boost Emblem

The First Anniversary update of Pokémon UNITE introduced Boost Emblems as a new type of Energy Reward. They can increase and decrease the stats of Pokémon and add other bonus effects. Up to ten emblems can be equipped for a particular loadout of emblems, with there being three slots for custom loadouts. More slots for loadouts can be bought using Aeos Coins or Aeos Gems. Each emblem features a different Pokémon and has one or two colors associated with it, usually correlating with the typing of the Pokémon on the emblem. Matching together multiple emblems of the same color gives bonus effects, with each color giving a different effect and the effect being greater the more emblems match that color. Currently, there is a Boost Emblem for every Pokémon from Generation I and II, as well as Zacian, the Sprigatito evolutionary line, Miraidon and Latias and Latios. Duplicates of the same emblem can be obtained and used for the same loadout, but in such cases will only contribute once to any color bonus.

Each emblem has three grades: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The higher the grade of the emblem, the stronger the stat changes of the emblem are. An emblem can be upgraded to a higher grade by merging three duplicate emblems of the same grade using Aeos Coins: three bronze emblems can be upgraded to one silver emblem (with 100% certainty), and three silver emblems can be upgraded to one gold emblem (with a probability of 40% per attempt). Specific Pokémon also feature Platinum emblems with the same effect as a corresponding gold emblem; these can only be obtained from events, and cannot be upgraded to.

Silver Boost Emblem	10%

Prize Machine

The Prize Machine is a menu which serves as an alternative way of obtaining Holowear, Boost Emblems, Unite Snapshot features and clothing. Every day, six prizes are made available. Players can throw Unite Balls at one of the items on display, which fills the prize gauge for that item by a varying amount. By filling the prize gauge of an item, the item is obtained. However, different items can have larger or smaller prize gauges, depending on their type. A single Unite Ball has a 66% chance to add 1 unit to the prize gauge, a 30% chance to add 2 units to the prize gauge, a 3.3% chance to add 3 units, a 0.6% chance to add 5 units, and a 0.1% chance to add 10 units. Players can hold a maximum of 2 Unite Balls in this mode. After being used, the Unite Ball goes on cooldown for 12 hours, during which it cannot be used. Aeos gems can be spent to skip the cooldown, and the cost of doing so gets shorter as the remaining cooldown time decreases. When the day rolls over and a new set of prizes are displayed, all prize gauges are reset.

Some events provide 100 additional Unite Balls for the Prize Machine, up to 10 per day. These additional Unite Balls have alternate names, such as Holiday Balls or Anniversary Balls.

Achievements

Main article: Achievement (UNITE)

Achievements were added to the game in the version 1.4.1.7 update. They are separated into two categories, Trainer Achievements and Pokémon Achievements. Trainer Achievements involve the player doing some sort of action in-game either in battles or in the menus a certain number of times, being split into 4 further categories: Battle, Strategy, Social, and Challenge. Pokémon Achievements involve the player doing a certain action with a specific Pokémon a certain number of times, with there being an achievement for every playable Pokémon. Each individual achievement is split into 3 achievement ranks: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. As the player completes each achievement, the player is tasked with doing the action a larger number of times to complete the next achievement level. The rewards change for each level, with Bronze achievements giving Aeos Tickets, Silver achievements giving Aeos Coins, and Gold achievements' rewards depending on whether the achievement is a Trainer Achievement or a Pokémon Achievement. Gold Trainer achievements typically give a new Unite Snapshot customization option, such as a background or sticker, while Gold Pokémon achievements give Holowear tickets.

Currencies

Main article: Currency (UNITE)

There are three main types of currency: Aeos coins, Aeos tickets, and Aeos gems.

Aeos coins can buy Unite licenses, battle items, and held items. They are also used to merge Boost Emblems. They are obtained through battles, though are restricted to 2,100 per week (not counting obtaining them from events). They can also be obtained through events.
Aeos tickets can buy fashion items, battle and held items, and other items such as boost cards and item enhancers. They are obtained as ranked match season rewards, or through events.
Aeos gems can buy licenses, fashion items, boost and rename cards, energy tanks, and Holowear. Aeos gems are a premium currency that can be purchased with real money.

Offline Mode

Pokémon UNITE has an offline mode, where the game can be played without its online server based multiplayer elements. This mode is a normal battle on Remoat Stadium, with the following modifications:

All characters are unlocked
Only Holowear that has been obtained is usable, ignoring active rentals
Other participants are Aeos Trainers, and none of them will use Holowear
The battle can be paused, in place of Quick Chat, which is unavailable. The pause menu allows the player to end the battle immediately.
The battle uses the pop-up text windows seen in Tutorial (Basics 2) and some post tutorial battles for certain game elements and effects.
Upon conclusion, there is no screen where the player's team members are displayed and no rewards are collected. Instead, it loops directly from the results screen to another battle in offline mode.
The player can back out of Offline Mode from the character select screen, reloading the game.

Beta versions

Public Test Server

On June 30, 2022, a public test server was released for Pokémon UNITE. It a separate app for Android devices, accessible only in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and India.^[13] This test server is used to gather data and feedback for new playable Pokémon, balance changes, stages, and other new features, which are added to the server before they are added to the main game. Every playable Pokémon to be added to the game since Glaceon has been added to this server prior to their proper inclusion with the exceptions of Mew and Zacian, the latter of which was not included due to being a Legendary Pokémon. Due to complaints from players about the state of Zacian's balance when it first released, all future Pokémon to be added will first release on the public test server regardless of whether they are a Legendary Pokémon.^[14] On occasion, Pokémon added to the public test server may only available for a limited period of time, with the server remaining in maintenance until the next Pokémon is added once the testing period is over, however once the next Pokémon is added, the previous Pokémon still remains in the test server.

Whenever the public test server is updated with new content, a questionnaire is added as well that can be filled out to give feedback on the content added in the update. Filling out this questionnaire will reward the player with a gift code that allows the player to obtain 500 Aeos Tickets and Aeos Coins in the main game.
