Meta Highlights

Hoopa's Return

Pokemon UNITE - ACL Day 4 - Hoopa Returns.png

Hoopa has returned to the competitive scene after a long absence due to the new map. The Pokemon's return was most likely the result of its recent buff in the 1.8.1.6 Update. Teams were ready to experiment with the Pokemon to see if it will be as effective as it was prior to the map change.

However, the Pokemon was only picked twice in Day 4 across all regions, so it did not have much play time. Nevertheless, only time will tell if Hoopa will make a comeback to the competitive scene.
