What Makes Pokémon UNITE Stand Out
Team up and take down the opposition in Pokémon’s first 5-on-5 strategic team battle game!
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 score the most points within the allotted time. Teamwork is key as you and your teammates defeat wild Pokémon, level up, evolve your own Pokémon, and work to prevent the opposing team from scoring points. Put your teamwork to the test, and take home the win!
Key Features:
• BATTLE IN STYLE: Take to the field while looking your best in Holowear! Thanks to a special technology developed using Aeos energy, Trainers can deck out their Pokémon in a variety of holographic outfits—with new styles arriving regularly!
• UNITE MOVES: Unleash the true power of your Pokémon with Unite Moves! Leverage these all-new Pokémon moves, which are only possible while in Unite Battles, and turn the tide of even the direst situations.
• RANK UP: Looking to prove how skilled you are? Participate in ranked matches, and earn points as you climb up the global leaderboard!
• COMMUNICATION IS KEY: Even the most-skilled Trainers recognize how important communication is to their team’s success. Leverage signals, quick-chat messages, and—for the first time in a Pokémon title—voice chat to communicate and stay in sync with your team.
• CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY: Challenge Trainers from around the world to Unite Battles on the Nintendo Switch™ system or on a compatible mobile device thanks to cross-platform support. Trainers may use their Pokémon Trainer Club account or Nintendo Account on both Nintendo Switch and mobile to easily keep their progress synced between devices.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So we were trying to down load it but it wont let us and we tried to refresh and everything but it wont let us.
We love it sooooooooo much five stars.
We love this game. Im not a Pokmon person sorry but it is an amazing game you need to put this on ps5.
We love to play the game and it is supper fun! But we wish that many more Pokmon can come out a bit faster like all the eeveelutions since we only have 4 of them. We love all the stuff we can do but we also wish that with the battles you could see what time the battle would end because we also have a screen limit. Thats all other than that its an amazing game and we love it.
All we can say is that this is the best game ever.
We have given access from our trainer account, restarted it, updated it, Ive tried everything and Im stilllocked out.
Please allow support for backbone controller.
Apparently Im powerful using combos and stuff, but spamming buttons is enough to win a whole game because THA FRICKIN COOLDOWNS ARE 0.0001 SECS. And thats why this game is great.
We love this game so much, but we need to report some things that need Fixing. First, there is this problem about idling in a battle right? So the reason Im losing fair-play points is because most of the time Im idling and we dont think we deserve losing any points because maybe if Im idling Im idling for a reason. Im not idling because Im lazy or anything like that idling has a reason or maybe our mom called us or sum. So basically yeah and the thing also is that we need our points back thank you. Second is that whenever we play Glaceon she glitches for us heres an example ( Glaceons Burst*) then when we do burst of hers it glitches and goes back to 90% Unite move and it makes it hard for us to play with her and thank you bye.
We love Pokmon and sylveon and we we,m a Pokmon lol battles are ez pz good game plz make umbreon eevee is cute plz make more updates ty game is cool Pokmon is cool too cool.
We love this game so much it is so fun.
We think a playground mode should be added like a free play mode where you can chat and have fun!. Sceptile would be an awesome addition to the roster of already existing Pokmon theres multiple videos of if Sceptile were in Pokmon unite at this point we NEED Sceptile.
You should make this game backbone compatible or atleast compatible with any Bluetooth remote.
Thank you for making this game we abousilte love it since we have Pokmon cards and toys so thank you god blessed yall! So we rated this game a 5.
Pls add him he is a awesome pokemon and we would buy every skin for hime and play every day and recommend the game to all our friends.
We wish there was controller support for mobile version.
We were wondering if you could add Diglett we know how he goes underground its so cool and we were thinking if you do add this Pokmon in the game could you make it if the Pokmons health is super low it can hide underground for a short period of time thank you.
Would love to be able to play with a controller.
We love this game, but it could use more Pokmon. We know that recently adding Chandelure was a good thing, but maybe adding a few Paldean Pokmon could work. Maybe Koraidon, Miraidon, the starters, or even more paradox Pokmon too. Otherwise, we love this game and we think its extremely cool. Maybe these suggestions might help you.
This game is definitely one of our favorite mobile games right now. We think they did a good job at taking a moba game and making it unique. The game is very rewarding, which makes it even more enjoyable. We think it definitely needs for Pokmon, and more game modes. Having more Pokmon and game modes to choose from wont make the game as repetitive.
We love the game so much is pretty fantastic and good. We juts want you to add a Pokmon, we will love you add Alolan Marowak. It will be a fantastic pokemon to add and play with. It can attack with its bone and use fire to attack. It could be a speedster or a defender. You decide, just please add Alolan Marowak. -To Pokemon Unite -From a fan, Christopher.T.
Please add controller support! Overall a great game. Amazing mix of Pokmon and LoL.
We enjoy this game so much. We believe it would be more enjoyable if you could use the controller for it.
We like it but they make you tipe dum names but its fine.
Hello pokemon team we just say add new pokemons in pokemon unite.
We absolutely love this game and this review is just us asking for some of our favorites so can you please add genesect banette cloyster toxicroak and galvantula.
We like playing this game because we can use different Pokmon to battle and defeat Legend Pokmon .It is fun.
Pokmon quest get a A+ Pokmon get a A+ winner of the best game ever.
The game is so fun but playing with friends is so much better and making friends is kind of easy.
Its so fun we love that we have no ads there is not a lot of games that have no ads so fun we love it.
This is a fun game, but it would be better with controller support. Our phones data plan allows us to play anywhere unlike the Nintendo Switch. And with the backbone controller for iPhone it would be a perfect combination.
Its always good for starters and it actually feels like you are playing with their own moves! Its graphics and animation is so cool and how once your playing gou can just keep getting bigger and bigger! Its not hard neither is it easy and its built to perfection.
Wish it was backbone compatible other than that this awesome If each Pokmon was going up in levels n evolving after certain levels overall it would be nice meaning it doesnt evolve fully in one game it takes to level up thru many matches n sometimes youll b weakest maybe it can auto match similar level Pokmons.
First started playing this game it was really fun and Im gonna continue playing it.
Hey game freak we like the Aurora style gardevoir it would be cool if you added a aurora borealis style Glaceon that would be fun. And it would be fun if you added the mysterious Pokmon Meowscarada it would be really cool to have one that knows either Flower trick or Energy ball and Night slash or Play rough. Please consider adding our Ideas in the game.
So when you do something bad the lose points when we left the match we lost points but we left because of Wi-Fi problems so we lost 2 points just because of bad Wi-Fi and that makes us mad.
While we do love playing Pokmon Unite a lot, the grind can be tiring. We dont like the fact that theres a limit to how many coins we can farm by playing matches. For example, if we wanted to farm some extra coins now Id have to wait 5 days. Which is a bit much if you ask us. The AFK penalty is basically nothing too. If the officials are seeing this, we would heavily recommend having a penalty be not getting aeos coins. The game developers should probably fix this pressing issue.
Sacred sword is busted. Dear reader, if you main zacian, please play another pokemon instead.
The game overall is pretty good gam. But there was one thing that got us kinda angry was we bought the battle pass for season fourteen and then next time we play its gone. The only way to get it back is to buy the unite membership or whatever it is called. Please add an update where you pay for it one and you get all the rewards from the pass. Thanks if you do this.
Can you please please put Aiello in the game.
We love this game but people looking at this dont use money!!! One day it (might ban you idk ) we know its hard but if you dont believe us and your not a Muslim idk man only if you have luck! Im 10 years old but im short (because im Spanish but born in the wrong place) -_- we warn you it will ban you because we are a Muslim and Ive never ever been banned well it was from non Muslims (thought we were being rough) we got banned on Roblox on a server and btw our Gf- Alittlepesto2 in roblox helped us get all pages in Piggy Roblox and we once named ourselves Willow XD oh and try out Slap battles in roblix.
This game MWAH! Kiss of perfection. The control are some of the best for a mobile game. The pokemon roster is great and some of our favorite,(please add Swampert or Falinks), pokemon are featured in this great game. The events and battles are fun and addicting. But can you add new battle modes? This game is so fun and we would wait a long time for some new modes. Also, how about mega or gigantimax battles? Just a couple of new modes would make this game our favorite ever.
Hi there! Sorry to bother you for wasting can you add Samurott ? Oshawott has been our favorite Pokmon! Oshawotts abilities:torrent |seashell attack |dewotts abilities: rain splash Aqua tail| oshawott-dewott-samurott: unite moves big waves that slams to a Pokmon.samurott should join in 20 days only|we think we should give you some time after having lapras joining:( (Im happy that lapras joined:).
Bro it is so good there is some lag but it is so fun.
It is the best game we have ever played.
We have this on three different devices we love the updates just we wish it was easier to get new Pokmon and aeos gems but still awesome so fun we play with our friends all the time so yeah we love the game.
Pokmon Unite is a fun game, although it can get annoying when you just want to play casually and everyone stomps on you. However, that isnt the developers fault so we dont mind it. People may complain about the fact that a lot of the cosmetics need to be purchased, however it is a free game, and the developers need to make money somehow. Anyways, this game is really fun and an excellent change from the normal Pokmon gameplay. Also, we have two ideas for new Pokmon, them being Metagross, and Aggron. Both would be welcome additions and would help diverse the Pokmon a bit more, as there are not a lot of steel types. Anyways thats it for us, we really hope you consider adding either one of the Pokmon Ive recommended.
We think this game is amazing but there is a few problems like when a team forfeits the match cpu should take there place and they lose fair-play points yah other wise this game just has a few glitches but yah so we hope somehow this helped someone.
You can do unite battles by participating and obtain how much Pokmon you can get.
