Every Game Needs A Boss Rush
Players can participate in Pokémon UNITE’s first PvE-style quick-battle event, where they can cooperate with other players to defeat strong Boss Pokémon one after another, in a limited-time event. The better the team’s position in the rankings, the better rewards they’ll get.

- Round 2: 31 July to 7 August.
- Round 3: 14 August to 21 August.
Boost That Pokémon
The list of objects that players can get as energy rewards is being expanded to include Pokémon boost emblems. Pokémon boost emblems come in three different grades: gold, silver, and bronze. You can create custom load-outs to use the effects of Pokémon boost emblems in battle.
Icy Glaceon Challenge
From 21 July 3 pm to 14 August 7:59 pm (Malaysian time)
After completing the special mission challenge, players can obtain Glaceon’s Unite licence. Glacial Stage is the Unite Move of the Attacker Pokémon Glaceon. There will also be a new Holowear released at the start of the event.
