Pokémon UNITE Reveals 3rd Anniversary Celebration
The Pokémon Company has announced that Ho-Oh is available in Pokémon UNITE to mark the game’s third anniversary. The commemorative event begins today and is available for all players of Pokémon UNITE. The press release describes it as follows:
Fan-favourite Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh makes its Pokémon UNITE debut today as a ranged Defender. Ho-Oh’s exciting Ability, Regenerator, allows it to gradually recover HP if it does not take damage from Pokémon on the opposing team for a set amount of time.
Ho-Oh’s moves will keep players on their toes the entire match, and its Unite Move, Rekindling Flame, allows it to spread its wings wide and consume all the Aeos energy in its possession to revive knocked-out allied Pokémon. The more Aeos energy Ho-Oh consumes, the more ally Pokémon are revived and returned to battle.
Pokémon UNITE is available now on the Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. The new third anniversary event will last until August and September. The game’s next battle pass will be available on July 21.
