Pokémon UNITE is embracing the merriment of the season with holiday
festivities running from December 15, 2021, to January 16, 2022. Players
can get special log-in gifts such as reward boxes containing limited licenses
and Trainer fashion items, earn special event rewards with the Illumination
Challenge and Photo Challenge, and add two new Unite licenses to their collection
as Tsareena and Dragonite enter the fray. And by taking part in Snowball Battle
in Shivre City, players can watch as their Pokémon are transformed into snowmen
during battle. Finally, from January 1 to January 3, 2022, the Unite licenses
for all Pokémon will temporarily be made available to all players at no cost,
allowing Trainers to use any Pokémon in any battle except ranked matches.
Put your best foot forward during the festivities with two
new Unite licenses. From December 9 to December 31, 11:59:59
UTC, 2021, the Unite license for Tsareena will be available at no
cost. Tsareena is a Melee All-Rounder that is ready to reign over the
competition with moves like Triple Axel, Trop Kick, and Queen Ascendant.
On December 20, 2021, the Unite license for Dragonite
will be available. With powerful moves like Dragon Breath, Outrage, and Draco
Impact, this Melee All-Rounder harnesses its impressive heft and draconic might
to dole out maximum damage.
Take on exciting new challenges with the Illumination
Challenge running from December 15, 2021, to January 16, 2022, and the Photo
Challenge running from December 24, 2021, to January 6, 2022.
Participate in the Illumination Challenge by selecting the
holiday tree in the lobby to compete in daily missions and challenge missions. By
completing these missions, players can collect lights to light up the holiday
tree and earn fun rewards—including a Trainer snapshot frame and background, a 1-day
limited license, Trainer fashion items, and more.
The Photo Challenge doesn’t run the full length of the festivities,
but it still serves up plenty of fun. Players can participate in standard battles, quick
battles, ranked matches, and Snowball Battle in Shivre City to collect
snowflakes. These snowflakes are then used to reveal parts of a photo
that are hidden by a silhouette. Collect lots of snowflakes to complete the
photo and earn rewards!
Ice out opponents on the new 4-on-4 quick battle map, Snowball
Battle in Shivre City. On this map, opposing Pokémon that are knocked out will
become snowmen for a limited time. Pokémon that are turned into snowmen will
not be able to move, but they can visually assist their teammates. While a
Pokémon is a snowman, its basic attack will instead cause it to jump into the
air, and its moves will do different poses, such as cheering, waving, and giving
a thumbs-up. When a Pokémon’s snowman form ends, it’ll leap free of the snow
and return to battle.
During Snowball Battle in Shivre City, players can defeat
wild Delibird to receive a gift box containing a random one-time battle item that
replaces their current battle item. Additionally, the wild Avalugg that
normally appears in the central area will be replaced with Articuno.
Enjoy special themed rewards and prize boxes by logging in
daily from December 24, 2021, until January 1, 2022. From December
25 to December 28, 2021, a prize box will be available from which players
can choose to receive Aeos coins, Holowear tickets, Aeos tickets, or item
enhancers. From December 29 to December 31, 2021, a prize box will be
available that contains a 7-day limited license for one of six Pokémon of the
player’s choosing. Finally, a New Year’s prize box will be available only on January
1, 2022, and it will offer players the opportunity to select from one of
four exclusive Trainer fashion items!
Finally, be sure to check out the
in-game shop for discounted items and cool seasonal Holowear for Pikachu and
other Pokémon!
Happy holidays!
