Today's Pokemon Presents revealed two more additions coming to Pokemon Unite in the future. Mamoswine and Sylveon.
Pokemon Unite launched on Nintendo Switch last month and is proving to be quite the hit. Pokemon's first foray into the MOBA world continues to generate a lot of interest and will only do so to an even bigger degree when it launches on mobile next month. Its roster will also continue to expand, as was confirmed during today's Pokemon Presents.
The initial roster is somewhat limited and it remains unclear how big it will get. All we do know for now is that at least three more playabale Pokemon will be added to the game in the future. Blastoise, whose eventual arrival was announced ahead of Unite's launch, and now Mamoswine and Sylveon. The two Pokemon were shown in action in Unite during the stream.
As for when the two new additions will be officially added to the roster, that remains unclear. If Blissey's arrival this week is anything to go by, and Gardevoir's shortly after launch, then the ice-type and the Eeveelution could be added to the game at any time. What their roles will be also wasn't mentioned, although it seems like that Mamoswine will be a defender, and Sylveon might well be an all-rounder.
Speaking of defenders, Unite's latest patch, which introduced the aforementioned Blissey, hit the biggest Pokemon in that role with quite the nerf. Those of you who use Snorlax will likely feel pretty different when playing the game today as the gen one Pokemon's stats have been greatly altered. Perhaps a switch to Mamoswine will be in order when it arrives, if it is indeed a defender.
Unite is available now on Nintendo Switch and will launch on mobile on September 22, 2021. It's free-to-play and has a growing roster and is updated regularly. The arrival dates of Mamoswine, Sylveon, and Blastoise are yet to be revealed. However, it seems likely the water-type will arrive before the two Pokemon announced today, especially since it was revealed at the same time as Gardevoir which has now been a playable Pokemon in-game for a number of weeks.
