2022 has already turned out to be very fruitful for the fans, especially for the Nintendo community. The gaming giant has delighted fans with many new titles and announcements. In fact, Nintendo also improved many of its franchises through DLCs and sequels. Moreover, there’s one more surprise exclusively for Pokemon Unite fans. All in-game content within the title is absolutely free right now.

Undoubtedly, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. Publisher Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have literally wiped out every in-game micro-transaction. This means all Pokémon within the game, along with their every customization/outfit, moves, and battle items, are absolutely free at the moment. In simple words, the players can use any Pokémon they want to. They are all playable for free.
