Pokémon Unite is a free-to-play 5v5 MOBA where Pokémon each have their own role or Battle type, which gives them advantages and disadvantages. The goal of each round is to use your Pokémon and score points strategically. For a limited amount of time, Nintendo Switch players can add Zeraora, a Speedster battle-type Pokémon, to their teams. It's likely Zeraora won't be available ever again after this event, so grab yours while you can.

How to get Zeraora in Pokémon Unite
There really isn't much to it. Nintendo Switch players need to log into the game before Aug. 31, 2021, to be rewarded with a Zeraora license. Pokémon Unite launches on Nintendo Switch on July 21, effectively giving players over a month to get this special Pokémon.

Can I get Zeraora on Pokémon Unite mobile?
Pokémon Unite has been in beta on Android phones for now, but the full version is expected to launch on iOS and Android phones this September. It's likely that a similar Zeraora promotion will happen for mobile users upon the mobile release, but we don't know for sure.
Who is Zeraora?

Zeraora is an Electric-type Pokémon first introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon on 3DS. It isn't known to evolve from anything or into any other Pokémon. It was also released into Pokémon Sword and Shield during a limited-time event but cannot be acquired now that the event has closed.
Pokémon Unite currently has a roster of 20 Pokémon. Each one has five different Battle types: Attacker, Speedster, All-Rounder, Defender, or Supporter. Zeraora has a Speedster role, meaning it is speedy and is very good at quick attacks and scoring points. It will be a great asset to your team.
Get this Speedster while you can
Remember, this limited-time event for acquiring Zeraora closes after Aug. 31, so be sure to log in to Pokemon Unite on Nintendo Switch before then to claim this Electric Pokémon. His quick attacks and melee focus make him a great asset to any team.
