Celebrating the third anniversary of Pokémon UNITE! Join in the festivities with Ho-Oh!
Pokémon UNITE Celebrates Third Anniversary with Exciting Events and New Features
Get ready, Trainers! Pokémon UNITE is celebrating its third anniversary with a bang, running from July 18 to September 3, 2025. The event is packed with exciting challenges, rewards, and new additions to the game.
During the anniversary, players can participate in the Anniversary Cake Challenge, where they earn "Frosting" by completing missions and unlocking rewards such as stickers, dice, enhancers, and tickets. The event also introduces new Unite Licenses, including Latios, available from July 18, and Latias, from August 8.
In addition to the anniversary festivities, the game will also see the release of Pawmot on September 4, 2025, although it's not part of the anniversary events.
One of the highlights of the anniversary is the special event for the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. Although no specific details about Ho-Oh's distribution during this anniversary period have been published, Trainers can look forward to the Pokémon's introduction to Pokémon UNITE as part of the celebration.
For those who want to enhance their gaming experience, a premium pass featuring the Dark Lord Style - Charizard is available for purchase separately during the anniversary. The premium pass offers exclusive benefits and in-game items.
Remember, Pokémon UNITE is a free-to-start game, and the premium pass and other in-game purchases are optional. To play, you'll need an internet connection, a compatible smartphone, and a Nintendo account. If you don't have a Nintendo Switch, you can download the game from the Nintendo eShop or directly from Nintendo.com.
The game offers cross-platform support for Nintendo SwitchTM and mobile versions, so you can battle with Trainers from different platforms. For more information about the anniversary events and details, visit unite.pokemon.com or check inside the game.
Stay tuned for more updates on potential Ho-Oh and Charizard license distributions outside of this anniversary event window. Happy gaming, Trainers!
