While Tsareena joins the fray on December 9, Dragonite's Unite license won't be coming along until December 20, 2021. Dragonite knows powerful moves like Dragon Breath, Outrage, and Draco Impact, making it a good melee all-rounder. New Holowear will also come alongside the winter holiday season, for characters like Dragonite, Mr. Mime, Pikachu, Crustle, and Snorlax. Trainers can look forward to new outfits as well, keeping in line with the festive spirit.
The game is set to undergo maintenance from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. PT, presumably to put up all the holiday decorations around the area and get things going.
Attention, Trainers! #PokemonUNITE will be in maintenance on December 8 from 1:00PM to 11:00PM PT. During this time, the game will not be playable while we make adjustments.
