Latest Pokémon Unite update Version 1.2.1.8 Halloween is coming, so you’ll find lots of exciting things in the new update.
Halloween comes to Pokémon Unite To celebrate the spooky season, Mer Stadium has taken on a fun new look for a limited time. You can even use pumpkins in place of battle items in this mode, which can be tossed at opposing Pokémon. While a Pokémon’s head is covered with a pumpkin, it can score points, moves by rolling, and can’t use its normal moves. It can however push opposing Pokémon out of the way.
You can also earn pumpkins through login bonuses, which can be used to purchase exclusive items, including the brand new critter, Greedant (check out our Pokemon Unite Greedent guide for more). In addition to all of this, there are some awesome new Halloween-themed skins. What a tricky treat!
