If you’re looking for more Pokemon goodness on your iPhone or iPad, the long-awaited “Pokemon Unite” has just launched for the iOS and iPadOS platforms and features cross-platform saves and multiplayer features.
“Pokemon Unite” is a strategic battle game which released on Nintendo Switch in July. Existing players can import their save data to their mobile devices and battle with other players regardless of platform.
Nintendo has stated that more than five million players pre-registered for the app version of the game, and in-app incentives are unlocked for any player who logs into the app by October 31. Players will receive Pikachu as a playable character, and a costume for the character. Also, everyone will receive 1,000 Aeos tickets, which can be exchanged for in-game items.
Players can also readily create or join Unite Squads, which allows players to find other squads to join via a tag search feature. Throughout the game, players play as several Pokemon and fight in five-versus-five battles. Players compete to earn the most pints in a round using each Pokemon’s special advantages and techniques.
Pokemon Unite requires an iPhone or iPad running iOS 10 or iPadOS 10 or later. The iPhone 5S or newer can play the game, while anything newer than the original iPad Air, iPad mini 2, or 5th-generation iPad is compatible.
Pokemon Unite is free to download, with a significant volume of in-app purchases available through Apple’s App Store.
