‘Pokémon Unite’ players can try all Pokémon for free for one more day

This applies until January 3 at 3:59 PM PT (midnight UK time) according to the official Pokémon Unite Twitter account. We can confirm that the deal is working in the UK, and all that players need to do is select their desired Pokémon when in the lobby selection screen.

With an ever-expanding roster of 29 playable Pokémon, it looks like the move comes as a way to entice players to purchase new characters for their lineup. With Speedster and Supporter the lowest in terms of characters, sitting at four each.

The price of purchasable Pokémon varies in Pokémon Unite, although they can be bought with in-game obtainable Aeos coins or microtransaction Aoes Gems in the free-to-play title.

Recently, Dragonite was added to the game as an All-Rounder Pokémon, alongside some festive outfits. The whole game has received a wintery and festive makeover as well, which covers cosmetics, the battlefield, the music and more. This follows the Halloween-themed event from October of last year.

The game is currently available for free on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices.
