What is Free Rotation?

Free Pokemon for a Limited Time

Pokemon UNITE - Free Rotation Icon.png

Free Rotation is a schedule for a set of free Pokemon that allows players can use them without purchasing their Unite License. Once their duration is over, a new set of free Pokemon will be available. You will then need to have earned the Unite License of the previous free Pokemon if you want to keep playing them.

The free rotation is a good way to try out Pokemon you haven't bought to know if they are worth investing Aeos Coins or Premium Currency.

Note:
You can only play Free Rotation Pokemon in Standard and Quick Battles. You need to buy the Pokemon's corresponding UNITE License if you want to use it in Ranked Battles.

How to Unlock All Pokemon (Unite Licenses)

All Pokemon are Free to Play on Pokemon UNITE Days!

Pokemon UNITE - Pokemon UNITE Day Events

On first weekends of the month, the game celebrates the Pokemon UNITE Day weekends! This gives players a chance to play all Pokemon in the Pokemon roster for free (except for Ranked Battles), plus get discounted Holowears!

Rotating Pokemon Limitations

Only for Standard and Quick Matches

It is important to note that rotating Pokemon cannot be used in Ranked Matches. They can only be used for Standard or Quick Battles.

Cannot Add as Favorite Pokemon

Pokemon UNITE allows you to have one favorite Pokemon, which will be displayed beside you on the home screen. However, you are unable to Favorite a Pokemon while it is in free rotation unless you own a Unite License for them.

How to Check Free Rotation

How to Check Free Rotation
1 Pokemon UNITE - Trainer Menu
Select the Pokemon tab In the Trainer Menu.
2 Pokemon UNITE - Free Rotation Clock Icon
A list of Pokemon with time icons will appear.

Free rotating Pokemon will have a clock icon on the upper left corner of their license, indicating that you have a limited time to use them until it rotates out.

Clock Icon Does not Appear if you Own the Pokemon

If a Pokemon you own is currently in free rotation, the clock icon will not appear. This prevents players from misinterpreting that their Pokemon will rotate out from their roster.
