Hello again! I apologize for the shortage of Game News posts. Things have been busy. Just like the previous Game News post, this post will feature news about ongoing and upcoming events for the Pokémon games. Let's begin!
Earlier this week, Pokémon UNITE was officially released! A new free-to-start online battle arena game in which players can fight with Pokémon against other players online! The team-based battles have you work together with teammates to collect points and score them in the opponent's goals.
I personally find the game quite fun! If you want, leave your opinions on the game below.
Summer 2020 Seasonal Rerun!
A reintroduced Story Event from last year has appeared in Pokémon Masters EX! The Summer Superstars event featuring Steven and Lyra is up for a limited time. Alongside this, there is also a new Seasonal Scout featuring Lyra & Jigglypuff and Steven & Alolan Sandslash. The Story Event runs until August 3rd.
New Seasonals launched!
Two new Seasonal Units: Gloria (Summer 2021) and Inteleon; and Marnie (Summer 2021) and Grimmsnarl have been launched on July 15 and July 17 respectively.
Two new PokeFairs!
Two new Pokefair banners, Ingo and Excadrill; and Emmet and Archeops have launched.
New Update!
The latest feature update, the last one before the two year anniversary, v2.11 is all set to arrive next week, most likely on July 28!
Sync Pair-Up Event!
There is also a new Sync Pair-Up event in which the player can complete stages and earn the Sync Pair of Bugsy & Scyther. This event runs until August 5th.
Pokémon Sword and Shield has shifted to a new Wild Area event. In this event, the Fossil Pokémon Omanyte, Kabuto, and Aerodactyl will appear in Max Raid Battles more often! Shiny Omanyte will also be able to found in Max Raid Battles during this event.
