Pokemon Unite has unveiled the next trio of Pokemon poised to join the ever-growing lineup of the MOBA game. This new wave includes characters from the Scarlet and Violet series, along with a Pokemon from Sword and Shield. The Pokemon roster in this TiMi Studio-developed MOBA has been steadily expanding since its inception in 2021, now boasting over 60 Pokemon choices ranging from classic favorites like Pikachu and Charizard to newer additions like Meowscarada and Urshifu. Let's delve into the details of the upcoming Pokemon.

Since its launch, Pokemon Unite has been consistently updating its character roster by introducing new Pokemon each month. The game recently featured Magikarp as a playable character, challenging players to navigate its weak early stages to unlock its formidable endgame form as Gyarados. Notably, Magikarp brought a fresh evolution mechanic to Pokemon Unite, utilizing an "effort meter" for evolution rather than the traditional level-based system. Now, a legendary Pokemon from the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet series is ready to make an entrance.

During a recent Pokemon Presents showcase, Pokemon Unite officially disclosed the next three Pokemon set to join its playable roster. Miraidon was unveiled as the upcoming addition, representing the legendary Pokemon from Pokemon Violet and becoming playable today. Following Miraidon, the new Pokemon from Pokemon Sword and Shield, Falinks, is slated for an April debut. Additionally, Ceruledge is set to join Pokemon Unite in the near future, with its release date teased as "Coming Soon" in the trailer.

Exciting Arrival of Three New Pokemon in Pokemon Unite

While specifics on the gameplay of the new Pokemon Unite characters were not revealed in the trailer, there's a clear focus on one specific ninth-generation game. The addition of Miraidon and Ceruledge brings two exclusive Pokemon Violet characters to the MOBA's roster. In December, Pokemon Unite welcomed its first ninth-generation Pokemon, the Grass Starter Pokemon Meowscarada. The Pokemon Company has not confirmed whether alternate versions of these new Pokemon, Koraidon and Armarouge, will also make an appearance.

The announcement of the latest members joining Pokemon Unite's roster was accompanied by exciting news for other ongoing Pokemon titles. Pokemon GO shared details about a collaboration with the Pokemon Journeys anime, introducing a Pikachu variant sporting Cap's Hat and featuring characters Liko and Roy in the game's photo mode. Moreover, the Pokemon Company revealed a major upcoming game, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, set to premiere in 2025. With multiple new Pokemon additions on the horizon, Pokemon Unite players have a lot to anticipate in the early months of 2024.
