Today, Pokémon Company International announced that exciting in-game events and activities are now available to celebrate the third anniversary of Pokémon UNITE on Nintendo Switch systems and mobile devices.
Ho-Oh joins the fray in Pokémon UNITE
The beloved legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh makes its Pokémon UNITE debut today as a ranged Defender. Ho-Oh’s exciting ability, Regenerator, allows it to gradually restore HP if it doesn’t take damage from Pokémon on the opposing team for a certain amount of time.
Ho-Oh’s moves will keep players on their toes throughout the match, and his Unite Move, Rekindling Flame, allows him to spread his wings wide and use up all the Aeos energy he possesses to revive knocked out allied Pokémon. The more Aeos energy Ho-Oh consumes, the more allied Pokémon are revived and returned to battle.
Limited time events to celebrate three years of Pokémon UNITE
Trainers can take part in a range of exciting activities to celebrate three years of Pokémon UNITE, including:
- Ho-Oh Commemorative Event (From July 19 at 00:00 UTC to August 11 at 23:59 UTC) – Trainers can receive one free die each day during the event period.
