Pokemon Unitefinally released yesterday and has, maybe surprisingly after the reaction it received initially, already started to build a pretty big fanbase.
ThePokemonMOBA, as it’s been called, is free to play and easily accessible to both new players to the MOBA genre as well as relative veterans.
Undoubtedly, part of what’s made the game so successful on launch is the fact that it comes bearing thePokemonname and is filled with plenty of recognisable creatures.
However, with the monetisation model that the game is using, you can bet that there will be a bunch of familiar monsters coming to the game in the future, including some we’ve already heard about.
So, with that in mind, here is every new and upcoming Pokemon that we know about coming toPokemon Unite.
Two of the three Kanto Starters, Charizard and Venusaur, made their way intoPokemon Uniteready for launch. Unfortunately, the third, Blastoise, just missed out.
The Water-type Pokemon will arguably be one of the most anticipated additions to the title, simply due to its recognition, power and nostalgia factor.
Unfortunately, there’s no release date for Blastoise inPokemon Unitejust yet.
Gardevoir is a Fairy and Psychic-type Pokemon who will likely slot right into the meta when it arrives
In the mainline games, Gardevoir has some solid stats, so it just remains to be seen which role it fits into. If I had to guess, I’d probably put it in the Supporter role, or failing that, All-Rounder.
Like Blastoise, there is no release date for Gardevoir inPokemon Unite.
