Holiday Events, Meowscarada, and Metagross are coming to Unite

The holidays have officially arrived on Aeos Island. Beginning December 7th, players can log into Pokémon Unite for some much-needed holiday cheer. This marks the return of the Snow Battle game mode, which is the only reason I’m logging back in. There are a few other events that you aren’t going to want to miss. Check out the schedule for all the details.

Meowscarada

Meowscarada is the first Paldean Pokémon to appear in Pokémon Unite, and it’s going to be a beast. Just check out that ability:

Meowscarada’s Ability, Overgrow, allows it to vanish into leaves for a short period of time after its max HP is reduced to half or less. Once triggered, Meowscarada’s movement speed and damage dealt increase for a short while, and it can even recover HP during this time by dealing damage to an opposing Pokémon.

You can pick up Meowscarada’s license through the special event happening from December 7th to January 9th. Players can complete missions to earn petals to unlock the license. You’ll need 100 pedals of the four colors to unlock Meowscarada.


Metagross

Metagross will be landing on Aeos Island on December 26th. There is no news on how we can unlock Metagross (probably with money), but we can still be excited. This is good news for those of you out there that like to play those tanky Pokémon.


I just wanted to highlight the bits I am most excited for, you can learn more in app when the events go live. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. Happy Holidays!

Pokemon Worlds Results and announcements: New Mechanics and the location for next year!

The Pokémon World Championship has ended, and it was an exciting time in competitive Pokémon. Those fortunate enough to attend the event in Japan got a unique Pokémon experience, and those who got to watch got the excitement of watching pros play the games we love. I mostly watched the TCG coverage, but you can find the complete coverage of important matches of every event on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

I did not intend to watch as much as I did. I was just going to earn my packs and move on but was quickly sucked in by the fanfare. It made for terrific background noise, and it was cool to see how people played the different decks in the meta. I learned a few tricks that have made me a better player.

Congratulations to this year’s champion, Vance Kelley! As someone who plays a lot of Mew, I was very excited to see the deck perform so well at worlds. I picked up a few new tricks that I am sure will elevate my game, but it was such an exciting match. I recommend you check it out if you have some time.

But as exiting as this news may be, it is such a tragedy what is going on right now with the wild fires. In an efforts to help the families devastated by the fires, The Pokémon Company International has donated $200,000 to the Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund. If you have the means, please consider making a donation.
