Pokemon Unite is one of the latest offerings from The Pokemon Company and TiMi Studios, previously only available on the Nintendo Switch. After weeks of waiting, the game is now available on both Android and iOS devices as mobile players can’t wait to experience the 5v5 MOBA experience.
Pokemon Unite is first and foremost a MOBA (Massively Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game – what exactly does that mean? The game is very similar to games like League of Legends, where characters take control of unique characters, in this case Pokémon, and try to outdo the opposing team by completing a series of challenges.

Pokemon Unite Gameplay
The game will feel familiar to MOBA fans, and the only way to win a match is to beat the opposing team. Each team can score points by defeating wild Pokémon NPCs and catching them. When defeating the wild players, players will try to move from their half of the map to the half of the enemy team.
Wild Pokémon will become stronger over time, and more difficult variants will appear from time to time throughout the match. Each match is time limited and the team with the most points will win the game. Throughout the game, players and their Pokémon will be able to gain new powers and abilities that will help them evolve and become stronger over the course of a match.
“Unite Moves”are unique skills that are very similar to special abilities in hero shooters, meaning that each character will have a unique Unite Move that gives them an advantage.
Is crossplay available in Pokemon Unite?
One of the best aspects of playing on multiple platforms is that it will be much easier for players to find matches since the number of players in the aggregate will be greater than if the game was limited to a single platform. Players will be able to easily join matches against each other on Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. This simplifies matchmaking and also allows players to save progress across platforms.
The game offers cross progressions, which is always helpful to make life easier for multi-device players.
