Pokemon Unite is said to be the franchise's first-ever multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game. As of July 21, 2021, the game was available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.

Still, the developers thought of releasing the game for iOS and Android users to gain more players.

Fans of the Pokemon series were delighted to learn that the game launched on both iOS and Android platforms on September 22, 2021.

You can play the game in groups of 3, 4, or even five players on each team. People may have played League of Legends, Mobile Legends, and other MOBA games.

Still, Pokemon Unite is a game where players can choose their favorite pokemon of the franchise, like Charizard, Blastoise, and everyone else's favorite, Pikachu.

The objective of the game is not just defeating multiple opponents, obliterating monsters, and claiming victory. The game's main objective is to strike goals on the opposing team's area and do so. Players need to attack other pokemon scattered in the field.

The game has the potential to be an Esports, and gamers should consider playing the game themselves. Players can customize the avatars that look like themselves, and there are limited pokemon choices up to date. Still, the developers will consider adding other pokemon from the anime.

The game also introduced Unite Squads, which allow players to team up with friends. According to The Pokémon Company, Trainers can create their squads with this feature or search for other existing ones.

Parties will be able to make "tags" to describe themselves and give people with the same interests a way to find them. The game's new update brings a second battle pass with all-new cosmetic items, recent in-game events, new held items, and support for more languages.

According to IGN, Pokemon Unite may be a "play to win" kind of game, but it all depends on how you outsmart and out-skill your opponents.

Players can upgrade their items to gain the upper hand, but the game is mostly about skill and how you use your pokemon to the player's advantage. So, go and unite with your first pokemon. I choose you!
