The Pokemon Company has published more information about Pokemon Unite on its official English and Japanese websites.

The new details include information about the game’s monetization, as well as key features such as Pokemon outfits (AKA Holowear) and the available playable Pokemon. You can check out a summary of the key details below, via Serebii:

Monetization

• Players can obtain items in shops using paid Aeos Gems or items found by playing the game: Aeos Coins and Aeos Tickets.
  • These can be used to obtain Unite Licenses to get Pokémon for Unite Battles
• There’s a Seasonal Battle Pass that has rewards for levelling up by completing missions. Players can even upgrade the Battle Pass with paid Gems

Gameplay Features

• Pokémon have various costumes you can get known as Holowear, which dresses the player’s Pokémon in a variety of outfits.
• Players can also customise their trainer’s appearance.
