Meowth is joining Pokémon UNITE on January 9th, but that’s not all! Leaks suggest Sirfetch’d, the Water Duck Pokémon, will be added later this month. Players are excited about Sirfetch’d because it’s known for being a strong, attack-oriented Pokémon.
3 new Legendary Bird Pokémon is coming this year
A reliable Pokémon UNITE leaker, ElChicoEevee, has revealed that three new Legendary Bird Pokémon are planned for release later this year. These Pokémon—often referred to as the Legendary Bird Trio—will be added to the game at a future date.
- Zapdos
- Articuno, and
- Moltres.
I’m really excited about the new Pokémon coming to Pokémon UNITE, especially that Zapdos will now be a character you can play as, instead of just appearing in the wild. That covers everything about the upcoming releases!
