Pokémon Unite is yet another Pokémon game on Switch and mobile that proves that nothing is cuter than a dressed-up pocket monster. The game currently has a roster of over 20 Pokémon to choose from. Several of them have alternative skins that let them put on different clothes and accessories. I mean, seriously, who can look at that pirate Cinderace or the summertime Snorlax and not smile? There are currently several available skins. Here's what they look like and how you unlock them whether you're playing on Switch, iPhone, or Android phone.
