Mega Charizard Y joins the fray in Pokémon UNITE — Obtain its Unite License by completing event missions

Mega Charizard Y is the latest Pokémon to join the fray in Pokémon UNITE. Mega Charizard Y is a separate Unite License from Charizard's regular Unite License. It is a Melee All-Rounder with Novice difficulty that deals Physical damage. It can Mega Evolve for a short while after using its Unite Move Seismic Slam.

To celebrate the introduction of Mega Evolution Unite licenses, Pokémon UNITE will hold a special event from Friday, December 19th, to Thursday, January 8th, in which players can complete designated missions to earn the Unite license for Mega Charizard Y. After the event, Mega Charizard Y’s Unite license will be available at the Unite Battle Committee shop in exchange for Aeos gems.

Mega Charizard Y is the last of four Mega Evolution Pokémon joining the fray this year, with Mega Lucario, Mega Charizard X, and Mega Gyarados debuting on September 28th, October 4th, and December 5th, respectively. The licenses for these Pokémon will be treated distinctly from regular Unite licenses, allowing players on the same team to be able to select both Charizard and Mega Charizard Y, and so on. Mega Evolution Unite license Pokémon will also be limited to a single fixed moveset, and be limited to two held item slots, with one occupied by the appropriate Mega Stone. Holowear owned by the standard Unite license will be shared with the Mega Evolution Unite license; however, Pokémon will not wear Holowear after Mega Evolving in battle.
