Pokémon UNITE will end service in Belgium and the Netherlands from November 30th, 2025. Players in the two countries will no longer be able to purchase new Aeos Gems and other in-game items from October 31st, this year. While no official reason has been given for this termination, it has been speculated that this may be coming about due to the in-game mechanics of reward boxes qualifying as gambling elements under local laws, which would place certain regulatory restrictions and obligations on the game.
