Tortank and Gardevoir soon on Pokemon Unite
Mobile gamers are eagerly awaiting the release of Pokémon Unite on the phone after arriving on Switch. While many French streamers have decided to get started (Gotaga, Ponce, Étoile, Xari…), this MOBA is more and more popular with the general public. There is no shortage of arguments to seduce and offers a very accessible gaming experience. No need for tens of hours of theory to understand the principle of the game: the games are very rhythmic, with a lot of fights and very limited time out. But the newcomer can also count on his very rich universe which attracts more than one nostalgic. The community happily rediscovers their favorite Pokémon. Although they haven’t all been integrated into the game yet, players will soon be able to embody Tortank Pokémon Unite (Blastoise in English). A final evolution of one of the starters of the first generation (Carapuce) which is surely one of the most iconic Pokémon of the license.
An initial list of around 20 playable Pokémon
At the moment, players can only play around 20 Pokémon. The latter fulfill very specific roles and belong to categories: Attacker, Defender, Supporter, Speedster, All-rounder. We find very popular Pokémon like the inevitable Pikachu, twirling it Greninja or the Charizard all fire all flames. But the developers didn’t just do fan service since less popular Pokémon like Crabarack and Nigosier are also part of the base roster. Fans still wonder where Tortank went in Pokémon Unite.
This is also what makes the beauty of Pokémon Unite. Officially, all Pokémon are playable and can make their way into the metagame with their unique profile. This should allow the unloved ones to restore their image and finally be in the spotlight. Crabaraque is surely the best of the defensive Pokémon right now and many Tier Lists pay homage to him.
The absence of Tortank Pokémon Unite: an anomaly soon to be corrected
Many fans were amazed at the lack of Tortank Pokemon Unite in the basic list. While we find Charizard and Florizarre, the third starter of the first generation was absent. However, this anomaly will soon be corrected. The developers have revealed that very soon, Tortank and Gardevoir will integrate the game. Other additions will come regularly, but there is still room to see all the little monsters land (only 898) in the MOBA.
