The Pokemon Company

Pokemon UNITE has a roster of over 20 playable new and upcoming characters to choose from in the new MOBA. From Attackers to All-Rounders, Defenders, Speedsters, and Supporters, there’s a playstyle type for everyone.

After a year of anticipation, Pokemon UNITE puts a new spin on some iconic, fan-favorite characters to play. The free-to-play MOBA is out now on Nintendo Switch and will launch on mobile devices on September 22, 2021.

From currently released characters to road maps that detail new ones (and ones that have yet to be revealed!) each one has something exciting to bring to the table.
