The official Pokemon UNITE Twitter page has confirmed the release window for the next playable character, the Generation 8 Water-starter Inteleon. This character was initially teased back in May 2023, the same date as Eveeelutions Umbreon and Leafeon were released. Despite being teased last month alongside Umbreon and Leafeon, Inteleon will be officially joining Pokemon UNITE sooner than you think. With Inteleon’s introduction, Pokemon UNITE will have a total of 55 playable characters to choose from.

Previously teased alongside Umbreon and Leafeon last month, Inteleon will officially join Pokemon UNITE on July 3, 2023.

Umbreon and Leafeon were released as part of the celebration of the Pokemon UNITE Eevee Festival Event. This event ran in May. This special mode allows both teams to play as Eveelutions and take on wild Eevee scattered across the map. A special Gigantamax Eevee is among them, and players must earn the best score to win prizes, such as Unite licenses for the Eeveelutions.
A similar event, Pika Party, is slated to run from June 22, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to July 20, at 4:59 p.m. PDT. This event, of course, focuses on Pikahcu and causes wild Pikahcu to appear across the arena.
Umbreon was added on May 25, 2023, while Leafeon arrived on June 8. Information on adding future Eveeelutions to the game is not confirmed at this time.
Inteleon will be the 55th Pokemon to be added to the game. The other 54 in the roster include:
Umbreon, Leafeon, Lapras, Chandelure, Goodra, Comfey, Zacian, Urshifu, Clefable, Duraludon, Hoopa, Trevenant, Dragonite, Tsareena, Greedent, Sylveon, Mamoswine, Blastoise, Blissey, Gardevoir, Zeraora, Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax, Crustle, Greninja, Eldegoss, Talonflame, Lucario, Venusaur, Mr. Mine, Slowbro, Absol, Machamp, Wigglytuff, Alolan Ninetales, Cramorant, Gengar, Garchomp, Cinderace, Duraludon, Azumarill, Espeon, Delphox, Glaceon, Buzzwole, Tyranitar, Mew, Dodrio, and Scizor.
Inteleon will officially join the fray on July 3, 2023. Pokemon UNITE is currently available to download for Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices.
