by

Story Highlights

  • Articuno is the newest Defender-type Pokémon to release in Pokémon Unite.
  • It’s exclusive Unite License is currently available for free in its Research Event.

The legendary Pokémon Articuno has arrived in Pokémon Unite! Players can take part in the Articuno Research Event to earn its Unite License, plus a cool background, frame, and other free rewards. We’ll guide you through the event and show you how to unlock Articuno’s Unite License without spending a dime.

How to get Articuno’s Unite License from the Articuno Research Event

To unlock Articuno and be able to play as it in Unite, you’ll need to participate in the Articuno Research event. During this event, you’ll study and name different parts of Articuno’s body. Completing each study earns you Research Coins, which you can then use to unlock Articuno’s Unite License and other special items.

The following are some tips to note while participating in the Articuno Research Event.

  • During the event, you can log in daily and clear missions to get Theses. Use these to increase the Research Gauge by 8%, 10%, 12%, or 16%. All values have an equal drop chance of 25%.
  • The next research will be unlocked once the Research Gauge reaches 100%.
  • If you can’t wait to clear each research task and mission, you can instantly clear them with Aeos Gems. Spending 5 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Daily missions, spending 10 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Weekly missions, and spending 5 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Special missions.
  • You will obtain research coins as the Research Gauge fills, which you can use to redeem Articuno’s Unite license.
  • There are 8 Research levels in this event. On completing one, you will instantly proceed to the next level.

Missions and Rewards in Articuno Research Event

Okay, so as I’ve been playing, I’ve noticed that when you finish event missions, you get something called ‘Theses.’ These actually fill up your Research Gauge, and the more full that gauge is, the more Research Coins you earn! Basically, doing these missions is the key to getting those coins. Here’s what the missions are:

  • Log in to the Game (Daily) – 1 Theses
  • Participate in 2 Battles with the following Role: Defender (Daily) – 1 Theses
  • Knock out a total of 15 Opposing Pokémon (Weekly) – 2 Theses
