Three new Pokemon have just been confirmed to be coming to Pokemon UNITE in the near future. The first two will be the Eeveelutions Umbreon and Leafeon, who will be added to Pokemon UNITE on May 25, 2023, and June 8, 2023, respectively, as part of the Eevee Festival Event. The Generation 8 starter Pokemon, Inteleon, will also be added to Pokemon UNITE, though its release date is currently unknown.
It is likely to be shared either sometime after the release of the Eveeelutions or earlier.

Leafeon, Umbreon, and Inteleon All Confirmed for Pokemon UNITE!
Leafeon, Umbreon, and Inteleon have all been confirmed as the next set of playable characters coming to Pokemon UNITE! With the addition of Umbreon and Leafeon, the game will have almost all Eeveelutions available to play. The only ones missing currently are Flareon and Vaporeon.

The last Pokemon to be added to Pokemon UNITE was Chandelure on April 27, 2023, just slightly under a month from the release of Umbreon. Inteleon may be released sometime in July 2023 to fit within the monthly pattern.
