Pokemon Unite's continually growing roster has featured plenty of fan favorites from throughout the franchise's storied history. The MOBA from TiMi Studios has introduced several starter Pokemon with Delphox coming as the most recent, as well as multiple Eeveelutions and even a handful of Legendaries. With the game adding new Pokemon to the roster each month, fans are always being given new characters to choose from with unique movesets. Now, a recent leak has revealed the next two creatures set to join the game.
The Pokemon Unite community has been no stranger to leaks with future content coming to the game regularly being discovered early. Last month saw datamines of both Delphox and Espeon as new Pokemon coming to the game, with both joining the roster throughout the month after. Further leaks showed off new NPC Pokemon being added as a part of an event that would allow players to capture and control wild Pokemon. Now, a datamine from a trusted leaker reveals that Buzzwole and Glaceon will be the newest additions to Pokemon Unite's lineup.
The newest leak from known Unite dataminer ElChicoEevee reveals Glaceon and Buzzwole will be joining Pokemon Unite, detailing the two Pokemon's movesets. Buzzwole will focus on close-range melee attacks with moves like Lunge and Mega Punch allowing it to close the gap with enemies. Attacks like Superpower and Smack Down will allow Buzzwole to deal heavy damage once within range of an enemy. The leak also references a "muscle gauge," implying Buzzwole will have an alternate resource that can be expended to increase its damage.
Glaceon will also feature a charge mechanic with "ice crystals" with attacks like Icicle Spear and Icy Wind allowing Glaceon to launch those crystals for additional damage. Moves like Ice Shard and Tail Whip will augment Glaceon's own stats or hamper an enemy's while Freeze-Dry gives Glaceon access to the powerful "Frozen" status effect. Whereas Buzzwole's attacks will look to give the Pokemon significant single-target damage, Glaceon's moves appear to focus more on heavy area damage.
The addition of Buzzwole and Glaceon will grow Pokemon Unite's roster to 38 Pokemon just under a year after the game's July 2021 debut. Buzzwole will mark the first member of Pokemon's mythical Ultra Beasts to join the MOBA while Glaceon will serve as the third Eeveelution added to the game after Espeon and Sylveon. With Pokemon Unite recently passing 70 million downloads and the roster continuing to grow each month, Pokemon Unite looks to maintain its strong showing as the game's anniversary approaches.
Pokemon Unite is available now for Switch and mobile devices.
