Pokemon Unite Expands Roster: Suicune, Alolan Raichu, and Alcremie Arrive in 2025

Pokemon Unite, the popular team-based MOBA developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokemon Company, continues to evolve with new content and playable characters.

In a recent announcement, The Pokemon Company confirmed that three new Pokémon—Suicune, Alolan Raichu, and Alcremie—will join the expanding roster in 2025.

This update further solidifies Pokemon Unite's commitment to keeping the game fresh and engaging for players on both Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms. Launched in July 2021 on Nintendo Switch, followed by a mobile release in September 2021, Pokemon Unite has rapidly grown its player base, becoming one of the most recognized Pokemon spin-offs in the eShop’s catalog.

The addition of Suicune, a fan-favorite Legendary Pokémon, is set for March 1, 2025.

Shortly thereafter, Alolan Raichu will make its debut in April 2025, and Alcremie will round out the update with a release planned for later in the year. The official statement from The Pokemon Company highlights the game’s ongoing commitment to player enjoyment and diversity of gameplay.

"We are thrilled to enhance the Pokemon Unite experience with highly anticipated additions like Suicune, Alolan Raichu, and Alcremie.

Each Pokémon will bring its unique abilities and play styles to the battlefield, further increasing strategic options for Trainers," the company shared in a press release.

This marks a significant expansion and reflects the developer's active approach to community engagement and game balancing. Since its launch, Pokemon Unite has seen consistent content updates, including new playable Pokémon, game modes, and events, making it a staple in the multiplayer online battle arena genre on the Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms.

The game’s enduring popularity is buoyed by its free-to-start model and frequent updates—each carefully tailored to keeping both newcomers and seasoned players invested. The introduction of Suicune, Alolan Raichu, and Alcremie underscores Pokemon Unite's status as a living game, continually bringing fresh content that resonates with its global audience.

As players await the March 2025 update, anticipation runs high for how these Pokémon will shift team strategies and the overall meta of the game. For more details, fans can view the official trailer and stay tuned for further announcements from The Pokemon Company via Nintendo Direct presentations and the official Pokemon Unite channels.

With these highly anticipated updates slated for 2025, Pokemon Unite is poised for another exciting year on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
