The Pokémon Company has confirmed that four new playable Pokémon — Morpeko, Toxtricity, Jolteon and Flareon — will be added to Pokémon Unite in the coming months.
The announcement arrived alongside an official trailer that offers a first look at each character’s animations and move set previews.
Pokémon Unite is a cross-platform 5v5 MOBA developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokémon Company; it launched on Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2021 and on mobile (iOS and Android) on September 22, 2021.
In a concise statement accompanying the trailer, The Pokémon Company explained that Morpeko, Toxtricity, Jolteon and Flareon are scheduled to join the roster of playable fighters over the next update cycles and encouraged players to view the trailer for an early look at their abilities.
The company’s release framed the additions as part of Pokémon Unite’s ongoing post-launch support, which regularly expands the roster and balance patches across Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms.
Each of the four Pokémon carries established franchise identities that give context to how they might be used in-game.
Morpeko is an Electric/Dark–type introduced in Generation VIII notable for its Full Belly and Hangry forms.
Toxtricity, also from Generation VIII, is an Electric/Poison–type with distinct Amped and Low Key forms.
Jolteon and Flareon are classic Eevee evolutions from Generation I, representing Electric and Fire typings respectively.
The trailer focuses on visual and combat cues rather than announcing precise release dates or competitive roles.
TiMi Studio Group, the developer behind Pokémon Unite, is a subsidiary of Tencent with a portfolio that includes high-profile live-service titles; the studio has overseen Unite’s transition from launch to a sustained live game with seasonal content and cross-platform play between Switch and mobile.
Players looking for exact release dates, skins, or Unite license pricing should monitor The Pokémon Company’s official channels and the game’s eShop and mobile storefront listings for formal patch notes and deployment windows.
Pokémon Unite continues to expand its roster and mechanics since its 2021 release, and this new wave of characters underscores the game’s strategy of staggered content updates to maintain engagement.
Fans can view the official trailer now and expect further announcements with concrete release dates and balance details from The Pokémon Company in the weeks ahead.
