The Pokémon Company International has unveiled the holiday season content for Pokémon Unite which brings the all-new Snowball Battle in the Shivre City with in-game challenges and surprises celebrating the holiday season.
Starting tomorrow, 15th December 2021 and lasting all the way until 16th of January 2022. Check out the new Pokémon Unite trailer for the holiday season below:
The new Pokémon that are soon to enter the arena are Tsareena and Dragonite. Starting tomorrow, the festivities will kick off by launching Tsareena, a new playable Pokémon as an all-rounder that provides new tactical opportunities and fun new ways for Trainers to play. It also brings new moves like Trop Kick and Grassy Glide to shake things up for a strategic team gameplay. Additionally, you will also be able to obtain a free Unite license for Tsareena until 31st December 2021 by simply logging in to the game and checking your in-game mail.
The other Pokémon is Dragonite, which will be launching a few days later on 20th December 2021. The Pokémon Company International will be releasing more information later, planning a first look at Dragonite in action.
Prepare for Festive Frolics with Snowball Battle in Shivre City
From 15 December 2021 to 16 January 2022, the holiday spirit will take hold in quick battles as KO’d Pokémon will turn into snowmen. Although frozen in place, snowmen can still provide tactical information for their teammates while waiting for their revival.
Moreover, players will receive a gift box after defeating Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. Inside each gift box will be a random one-time battle item that replaces the player’s current item, keeping players on their toes in ever-changing and unpredictable encounters.
Along with these festive additions, the wild Pokémon in Shivre City’s central area will be replaced with Articuno two minutes into matches, offering new challenges for teams to take on.
Trainers and Pokémon will also be able to put on a festive look during the event, as new Holowear and Trainer fashion items will be added to the game.
Lastly, there are long-in bonuses and special challenges that await players. The Illumination Challenge will also be starting from tomorrow alongside a Snowball Battle in Shivre City.
Players will need to light up the festive tree that appears in the lobby by collecting lights earned through daily missions (up to 100 lights per day) and challenge missions (up to 750 lights per challenge mission). Collecting lights will unlock decorative items and bonuses, including a 1-Day Limited License: Alolan Ninetales, new Trainer fashion items, and other holiday-themed decorations (a different number of lights will be required to unlock each item)
