The Pokémon MOBA is no longer holding any secrets. New playable characters often leak before their official reveal, and this has happened again: we now know which six new Pokémon will be joining Pokémon Unite in June and July 2026 to celebrate the game’s anniversary.
According to data miners like El Chico Eevee, the new characters we will be able to control on the island in the coming months are:
- Palkia
- Quaquaval
- Reshiram
- Skeledirge
- Solgaleo
- Yveltal
Images of all these Pokémon, sourced from the game, can be seen below.
Unless plans change, Palkia, Quaquaval, Reshiram, Skeledirge, Solgaleo, and Yveltal should be gradually added to Pokémon Unite throughout June and July 2026. However, it’s also possible that several of them will be released all at once in the penultimate week of July to commemorate the game’s five-year anniversary.
Remember that the game is currently celebrating the arrival of the Johto starters. Typhlosion and Feraligatr are already available, and Meganium will join on May 22nd.
At the time of this writing, the movesets or roles for Palkia, Quaquaval, Reshiram, Skeledirge, Solgaleo, and Yveltal in Pokémon Unite are unknown, but we expect this information to be revealed in the coming weeks.
