Pokemon Unite is a strategic team battle game being developed jointly by The Pokemon Company and Tencent Games' TiMi Studios, who worked on the Arena of Valor. The game had been in closed Beta since March.
Pokemon Unite, players face off against each other in 5-on-5 team battles in typical MOBA fashion. During battles, players will catch wild Pokemon, level up and evolve their own Pokemon, and defeat opponents' Pokemon while trying to earn more points than the opposing team within the allotted time. Pokemon Unite will also be free-to-start, and will likely offer in-game transactions, though to what extent remains to be seen.
Additionally, if you log in using your Nintendo Account or Pokemon Trainer Club account, you'll be able to use your game data on any device. With this feature, you'll be able to carry your game data over to whatever device you're playing on. With crossplay and crossprogression, Pokemon Unite is already one of the best free Android games.
Pokemon Unite is just one of the many Pokemon games to release during Pokemon's 25th anniversary celebration. New Pokemon Snap released in April to critical and commercial acclaim, and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl respectively, come to the Switch in November. Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a new third-person open world game in the style of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, launches January 2022.
