New Pokemon & Customization In Pokémon Unite’s Christmas Holiday Event 2021

The first ever Christmas themed event is coming to Pokemon Unite this month with a lot of Santa hats, costumes, and gifts everywhere. The arenas will be covered in snow and have Christmas decorations in every corner of the map. Not only are the arenas and main menu Christmas themed but similar to the previous Halloween event, some animations will also feature Holiday decor and flare. In the trailer we can see a Pikachu in a Santa outfit riding Santa’s Sleigh to teleport back to spawn and when they attacked other Pokemon or scored in the goal, presents and candy canes can be seen popping out.

How long is the Event?

The event will officially start on December 15th, 2021 and ends on Janurary 16th, 2022. We’ll see more features come to the game before this date, however. Starting December 9th, you’ll be able to log in and get the newly released Tsareena Unite License!

Dragonite & Tsareena

Tsareena is joining the battle today, December 9th! Log in now to get your Tsareena Unite License. Play as Bounsweet, evolve into Steenee, and finally battle as Tsareena. This Pokémon is an All-Rounder with a melee battle style but the difficulty is “expert” so it may take some time and skill to get used to.

Dragonite has been announced and will be joining the battle on December 20th, 2021! It’s not confirmed what this Pokemon’s play style will be but it’s expected to be an all rounder by the community. Naturally, you’ll have to evolve into Dragonite but grinding and gaining EXP so you’ll also get to play as Dratini and Dragonair in battle.

Holiday Holowear & Customization

It seems there are two main themes for customizable items and gear this season. You’ll be able to get Santa themed gear and chef outfits for your trainer as well as Pokemon. Several Pokémon will have holowear that gives them a cute Santa hat like Blastoise, Gardevoir, and a few others. Other Pokémon will get chef holowear such as Snorlax, Cramorant, and Mr. Mime. Pikachu will even get an entire Santa outfit and Crustle will get a desert style holowear with a strawberry on top.

Christmas Holiday Event Roadmap

There’s a lot to look forward to in this Holiday update and this will probably attract many new and old players back to the game. What are you looking forward to most?
