Pokémon UNITE adds Suicune, First to 500 mode, Aeos Technology, and a lot more

Pokémon UNITE is coming up on its 4th anniversary in 2025. During the Pokémon Day celebration, today, they dropped a bunch of news and new features coming to the Pokémon MOBA title.

Right out of the gate, they showed off three upcoming playable Pokémon coming to Pokémon UNITE. Suicune is coming on March 1st, complete with a snazzy Japanese-style outfit.

Following it up soon after in April, Alolan Raichu will be arriving as a playable Pokémon. I’m most excited about this round boi out of the three. However, Alcremia is coming later this year as well, and I need it to have all of the color variants when it does!

Remoat Stadium is returning to Ranked matches for a short time, starting Thursday, February 27, 2025, and ending on March 12th. It’s one of my favorite maps in the game, so it’s great to see it come.

Pokémon UNITE brings a new mode: First to 500

Starting today, a new mode called First to 500 will be available, which has a simple goal: Be the first to score 500 points. From now until March 1st, you can use all Pokémon available in Pokémon UNITE in First to 500.

In the mode, Aeos Technology is a new feature that unlocks special effects the more you score, such as having 50, 100, 200, or 350 points. This mode also comes with an updated map with new wild Pokémon throughout it.

On top of all of that, use the special Gift Code: POKEDAY25 to get a Platinum Suicune Boost Emblem in UNITE.

Pokémon Unite is available for the Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms. The news for Pokémon Day was plentiful during the Pokémon Presents today. Check out our coverage on Pokémon TCG Pocket, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and the roundup for everything else announced!
