Trevenant is now available in Pokémon UNITE. Trevenant is a Defender that you need to see to be-leaf! Log in to the Unite Battle Committee shop to get Trevenant’s Unite license today.

Trevenant Creates Creepy Curses in Pokémon UNITE

Curse the competition in Pokémon UNITE with Trevenant, now available to join your team. This Pokémon is a Melee Defender, and it’s ready to unleash spectral shields, good old-fashioned slapping, and terrifying curses in order to win. Trevenant begins each match as Phantump, and it will evolve into Trevenant at Lv. 5.

Trevenant’s basic attack becomes boosted with every third attack, dealing increased damage to opposing Pokémon and restoring Trevenant’s HP when it hits. Additionally, Trevenant’s Natural Cure Ability triggers a continuous HP recovery effect when Trevenant’s HP is low. This HP recovery effect also reduces the cooldown period for Trevenant’s moves. When Natural Cure’s HP recovery effect ends, there is a delay before Natural Cure can activate again. Fortunately, this delay is reduced every time one of Trevenant’s moves hits an opposing Pokémon.

Trevenant’s Moves

At Lv. 1 and Lv. 3 , Phantump can learn Will-O-Wisp and Branch Poke. When using Will-O-Wisp, Phantump shoots sinister flames that deal damage to opposing Pokémon they hit and leave them burned for a short time. When Phantump uses Branch Poke, it delivers a jab in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and decreasing their movement speed for a short time when it hits.

At Lv. 5 , when Phantump evolves into Trevenant, Will-O-Wisp can be upgraded into one of two moves. When delivering the first of the two moves—Wood Hammer—Trevenant pulls back its arms and attacks, damaging opposing Pokémon directly in front of it and pulling them toward itself. If this attack deals damage to at least one opposing Pokémon, Trevenant can then follow up this attack by slamming down a giant wooden hammer, dealing damage to any Pokémon it hits and leaving them unable to act for a short time. Be cautious about using Wood Hammer too much, however, for every time this move is used, it consumes a set amount of Trevenant’s HP. When Wood Hammer is upgraded, the follow-up attack also decreases the damage dealt by opposing Pokémon it hits for a short time.

The other move Trevenant can learn, Curse, allows the Pokémon to exchange a portion of its HP to create a cursed zone. Any opposing Pokémon caught in this cursed zone takes damage over time and suffers from decreased movement speed. The lower Trevenant’s HP, the more the opposing Pokémon’s movement speed is decreased. While using Curse, Trevenant stores curse power every time it deals or takes damage, and it can release this power to deal additional damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect. If this curse power is at maximum when it’s released, it will also reset the cooldown periods for Trevenant’s other moves. When Curse is upgraded, its area of effect is increased.

At Lv. 7 , Branch Poke can also be upgraded into one of two moves. The first of these moves, Horn Leech, causes Trevenant to charge forward, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in its path and shoving them as it charges. When Trevenant is finished charging, any opposing Pokémon that it shoved is dealt additional damage and then thrown. This move also restores Trevenant’s HP when Trevenant collides with an opposing Pokémon while it’s charging, and the lower Trevenant’s remaining HP is, the more HP is recovered. After Trevenant uses Horn Leech, its next three basic attacks deal increased damage and reduce Horn Leech’s cooldown when they hit. Horn Leech can be upgraded to increase Trevenant’s movement speed for a short time after the move ends.

Trevenant’s other move option, Pain Split, creates a link that tethers Trevenant to a selected opposing Pokémon. As long as the link holds, Trevenant redirects a portion of the damage it takes to the linked opposing Pokémon. As Trevenant’s HP gets lower, a greater percentage of incoming damage is redirected to the linked opposing Pokémon. Furthermore, if Trevenant’s percentage of remaining HP is lower than the linked Pokémon’s, Pain Split continuously recovers Trevenant’s HP and deals damage over time to the linked Pokémon. However, the link will disappear if Trevenant is too far from the linked Pokémon. Pain Split also increases Trevenant’s movement speed for a short time, and it can also be upgraded to increase the length of time that the link remains active.

Trevenant’s Unite Move, Phantom Forest

Hit the opposition with a curse they won’t be able to shake off with Trevenant’s Unite Move, Phantom Forest, which it learns at Lv. 9 . With this attack, Trevenant creates a spectacularly creepy cursed forest, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect, throwing them, and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. For a brief period after the attack is deployed, the basic attacks of all allied Pokémon deal increased damage to opposing Pokémon hit by Phantom Forest. Trevenant also receives a shield when this Unite Move hits an opposing Pokémon, with the shield getting stronger with each opposing Pokémon hit. While Trevenant is under the shield’s protection, HP recovery effects applied to Trevenant are strengthened.

Trevenant is ready to extend its roots on your next team. Log in to the Unite Battle Committee shop to get Trevenant’s Unite license today.

• Each area is rich in natural features and plays host to different Pokémon ecosystems.

• Materials can be used to craft many items that will help you on your journey including: healing items, lures, smoke bombs, Poké Balls and more.
• Your Pokémon team can help you collect materials by breaking rocks, picking up plants, defeating or catching Pokémon, or knocking items out of trees.
• All kinds of Pokémon will appear depending on the time of day and the weather conditions.
• Different species of Pokémon also have different temperaments. Some many ignore you as you approach, some are skittish and will run away as you approach. There are even aggressive Pokémon that will attack you should they spot you in the wild.
• If an aggressive Pokémon spots you, or if you fail to catch it on your first sneak attempt, the Pokémon will enter an alert state. In this state, all Poké Balls you throw will simply be deflected by the Pokémon. In order to catch a Pokémon in this state, you must battle it.
• You can initiate a battle by throwing a Poké Ball containing one of your own partner Pokémon near a wild Pokémon.
• You can use items to your advantage when catching wild Pokémon. Throwing a Berry near a Pokémon will distract it. The Pokémon will then start eating. While eating, the Pokémon is much less aware of your presence, allowing you to go in for a back strike!
• When encountering aggressive wild Pokémon, you have to be careful. These Pokémon will not think twice about attacking you! If you take too much damage, you will black out and lose some of the items you were carrying when you fainted.
• As part of the Survey Corps, you are on a mission to catalogue and research all the different Pokémon that live in Hisui. You will also need to observe them using certain moves or displaying certain behaviors.

• After you finish your survey work, you'll return once more to prepare for your next task.
• Along with the headquarters of the Galaxy Team and your own lodgings, Jubilife Village is also home to a variety of different services, such as the clothier, the craftwork and the trading post, where you can trade Pokémon with other players.
• You can receive a variety of different missions and requests from the inhabitants of Hisui.
• Requests are small tasks that you do to help the residents of Hisui, while missions will advance the main story. Once you receive a mission or request, it will be added to your Arc Phone.
• The Arc Phone is a mysterious device that allows you to track your movements, mark locations on the map, and track your current missions and requests.
• Missions and requests vary in their objectives such as: discovering a specific Pokémon, finding a variety of different items, defeating a powerful Pokémon in battle, or catching a number of one specific Pokémon for research.
• Battles are turn based and you can get your Pokémon to attack in two unique styles: Strong Style or Agile Style. Using a move in the agile style raises the user's action speed, which may make the users next turn come sooner, at the expensive of reducing the move's power.
• Strong style moves can allow you to attack with more power, but using them may delay your Pokémon's next turn. If an enemy can withstand one of your Strong Style moves, prepare to be attacked multiple times in retaliation.
• Using Agile Style moves and strong style moves in battle causes your Pokémon's attacks to use more PP, so be careful when planning your battles.
• Alpha Pokémon appear different to the others of the same species. The are much larger and have glowing red eyes. Be careful when approaching them if your are not prepared. They are very aggressive and will take a powerful team and strategy to take them down.

• You can also customize your Trainer's hairstyle, hair colour and eyebrow color at the hairdresser.
• Noble Pokémon have been affected by a strange phenomenon causing the nobles to become frenzied, making them rampage. As part of the Survey Corps, you will be recruited to calm these frenzied nobles. Simply defeating them in battle will not calm them. You will have to quell their frenzy by throwing balms made using these noble Pokémon's favourite foods.
• It can be difficult to hit a rampaging noble with these balms, as they will relentlessly attack you. The moment you see an opportunity, hit them with as many balms as you can. Noble Pokémon will attack the player directly, and if you take too much damage, you will black out and need to attempt the battle again.
• Balance throwing your balms with dodging attacks to calm the Noble Pokémon. At some point during the fight, the Noble Pokémon may let down its guard, this is the time to throw your Poké Ball and start a Pokémon battle. These battles are tough and planning ahead is essential if you wish to calm the Noble Pokémon down.

The stage for the adventure is the Hisui Region

The stage for the adventure is the Hisui Region (ヒスイ地方), with its harsh natural environment.



The story takes place in a time long ago, when there was no such thing as a Pokémon Trainer, and the region is eventually called the Sinnoh Region, the setting for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

The protagonist's goal is to create the first Pokémon Zukan for the region.


In the Hisui Region, where the ecology of Pokémon has yet to be revealed, the protagonist becomes a member of the Ginga Gang, which operates in Kotobukimura (コトブキムラ), and goes everywhere to investigate Pokémon.

Different from the previous Pokémon series! - Freedom in a large field

One of the features of this title is that it offers the most freedom to explore in any Pokémon game. As you run through the fields of nature, you will investigate the Pokémon living in the Hisui Region.


Also, by riding Pokémon, you can travel not only on land, but also on water and in the sky, expanding the scope of your adventures even farther.

Aim to catch

In order to catch Pokémon, you need to aim well and hit it with the monster ball.


Some Pokémon even run away when they see humans...


When you try to catch such a Pokémon, hide in the grass and approach it gently to make it easier to catch.

Start a battle by throwing a ball containing your Pokémon

You can also start a Pokémon battle by throwing a ball containing your Pokémon near a wild Pokémon.


The key to getting the most out of battles is to make the best use of Quick Work (早業), which makes it easier for you to act quickly while being less powerful, and Hard Work (力業), which makes it easier for you to act slowly while being more powerful.

Attacked by wild Pokémon!

In the Hisui Region, there are Pokémon that will attack if they see a human. If you are attacked, the main character will also take damage, and if you continue to take damage, your eyes will go black and you will have to return to the Base Camp, the base of your investigation...


It is one thing to try to capture them while making full use of actions and battles, but it is also important to run away from the area when it is dangerous to continue the investigation.

Newly Discovered Pokémon and Hisui Form Pokémon

In the Hisui Region, there are newly discovered Pokémon that you haven't seen yet, as well as Pokémon with a Hisui form that is different from the forms seen in other regions.

Three groups active in the Hisui Region

In addition to the Ginga Gang, to which the protagonist belongs, there are two other groups in the Hisui Region: the Kongo Gang (コンゴウ団) and the Shinju Gang (シンジュ団). The Kongo Gang and the Shinju Gang are both groups that have been around for a long time, but they often clash due to their different ways of thinking, with the Ginga Gang taking a neutral position.


In addition, Kotobukimura also has a group of merchants who support the investigation of the main character.


How do these people get involved in the hero's adventures? Please look forward to the new story.
