As part of the Eevee Festival, Eevee Appeal-o-rama battles will be available from 25 May at 8:00 a.m. BST through 23 June at 12:59 a.m. BST. In this new type of quick battle, all players (on both teams) play as Eevee Evolutions, such as Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon. Wild Eevee will be scattered all over the map, with Gigantamax Eevee also making an appearance. Players can also obtain prizes, such as Unite license puzzle pieces, which can be used to unlock the Unite license for Espeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon once 10 puzzle pieces have been obtained.
Tencent and The Pokemon Company have been slowly adding lots of everyone’s favourite pocket monsters to the game, and even shortly after it launched in 2021 they added Gardevoir, Blastoise, Sylveon, and more.
Pokemon Unite is out now and free-to-play on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices.
