New Details Revealed for Relaxing Life Simulation Game Pokémon Pokopia

Latest Trailer Showcases Key Steps for Building a Pokémon Paradise and Some Slightly Peculiar Pokémon

BELLEVUE, Wash. – Nov. 13, 2025 – Today, the Pokémon Company group revealed an in-depth look at Pokémon Pokopia – a relaxing life simulation game releasing on March 5, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2 – via a new trailer on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

A New Life from the Ground Up

In Pokémon Pokopia, players play as a Ditto that has awoken from a long slumber and transformed to look like a human. Ditto meets the peculiar Professor Tangrowth, who has been living all alone in a place where humans and Pokémon once lived—and appears to be wearing human tools. Seeing the withered grass and trees, Ditto decides to build the area anew by crafting items and learning moves from other Pokémon, creating a utopia for everyone to live in, one step at a time.

Building the Ideal Space

The player can learn moves from the Pokémon they meet, helping to create habitats where different Pokémon will appear. The moves they learn can also be used for other purposes, such as smashing walls with Rock Smash, adding more greenery with Leafage, going from mountain to mountain in a single leap with Glide, or travelling across water with Surf.

Players can also interact with the Pokémon they meet, including playing jump rope with Bulbasaur’s vines, having Charmander light fires, or teaming up with lots of Pokémon to build houses to live in.

Pokémon may come to the player with requests for making their environment a more comfortable place to live. Some will even have important requests tied to solving larger problems. Fulfilling these requests will lead to the development of the entire area.

Players can also look forward to switching up their look with different hairstyles or outfits, and crafting items or furniture to personalise their surroundings. Up to four players can also enjoy playing together[1].

Peculiar Pokémon

In addition to Professor Tangrowth, players will encounter other mysterious Pokémon.

• Peakychu: A pale Pikachu with drooping ears whose fur is a mysterious colour.
• Mosslax: Moss has grown all over this Snorlax’s body, and it looks as though a flower is blooming atop its head. It must have been asleep for a really long time.
• Smearguru: A Smeargle with vibrant colours splattered across its body. It almost looks like a painter when it uses its tail as a brush.

Please visit the official Pokémon Pokopia website for more information.

License Journeys for Pokémon UNITE launches on December 4th, 2025 and its a new system to unlock free Pokémon Unite licenses by selecting and earning license points via gameplay.

License Journeys—A New Way to Obtain Unite Licenses—Are Here!

On December 4, 2025, a new feature—License Journeys—will be added, which will give players a new way to obtain Pokémon Unite licenses.

Multiple times per License Journey, players will choose a Unite license they wish to obtain. Then, they can play the game to accumulate license points toward unlocking that Unite license.

License Journeys and Selecting Pokémon

Each License Journey will contain several available Unite licenses, and players will be able to choose licenses and then accumulate license points toward unlocking them.

Typically, each time the player selects a Unite license to work toward, they’ll choose from five available licenses. However, there will also be times players can choose from all the Unite licenses in the game.

Unite licenses for newly released Pokémon may also become available via License Journeys at the same time they’re released in the shop.

Obtaining License Points

Players can obtain license points as battle pass rewards, from random boxes, or as rewards from other events.

• Battle Pass Rewards
  • When a player’s battle pass level increases, they can claim battle pass rewards, and license points will be included in these rewards.
  • Some license points can be obtained via a standard battle pass, but players can obtain even more license points via a premium pass. This means premium passes won’t just include high-quality Holowear—they’ll also be a way to progress through License Journeys quickly.
• Random Box Rewards
• By completing missions, players will be able to open a random box that’s distributed each day. By opening these random boxes, players can obtain a variety of items—including, on rare occasion, Unite licenses, license points, and more.
• Other Future Event Rewards

Discontinuing Aeos Coins

With the introduction of License Journeys, Aeos coins will no longer be distributed, and their use in the shop will be discontinued. Until then, you can use previously earned Aeos coins at the shop, and after License Journeys are introduced, we plan to implement ways to exchange previously earned Aeos coins for license points.

Please see below for more information about when Aeos coins will discontinue and how to use them.

Discontinuation Schedule

• As of December 4, 2025, Aeos coins will no longer be distributed, and the Unite Battle Committee will no longer offer Unite licenses in exchange for Aeos coins.
• If you would like to obtain Unite licenses via Aeos coins, please do so by December 4, 2025.
• After December 4, 2025, the Unite Battle Committee will, however, continue to offer Unite licenses in exchange for Aeos gems.

Exchanging Existing Aeos Coins

• As of December 4, 2025, an Aeos Coin Exchange will become available. Here, players will be able to exchange previously earned Aeos coins for license points or various items.
• Aeos coins and the Aeos Coin Exchange will remain in-game until May 2026.

Firstly, just want to say thank you to everyone for their extended patience with the site being down. I know there was a lot of uncertainty and unanswered questions with the shutdown being so sudden and unannounced. The site is heavily loved and its loss is significant to many. It holds a lot of information that only we have taken the time to document and that countless others have poured hours and hours of work into to make it as accurate as possible. That being said however... We're pleased to say that the site is once again back up and running at the same address you know and love!

Attention Trainers! An update that includes Matchmaking Adjustments will be implemented on September 4th, 2025 at 7:00 UTC. Details of this patch have been added to our Pokémon UNITE patch page.

Version 1.20.1.3 Patch Notes

Update Date/Time: 2025-09-04 at 07:00
Post-Update Version: Ver. 1.20.1.3

Update Details

• Balance Adjustments
• Bug Fixes

Map Adjustments

Theia Sky Ruins (Groudon) - The experience points gained from knocking out Regidrago have been reduced.

It has been observed that when a significant amount of experience is awarded to one team in the early game, matches often become one-sided. To ensure that battles remain closely contested and enjoyable for both teams into the mid and late game, the experience gained from defeating Regidrago has been reduced.

Balance Adjustments

To adjust the balance of Unite Battles, some Pokémon stats and moves have been changed.

Pawmot Stats

• HP: 3250–7602 → 3250–9000
• Defense: 90–498 → 90–560
• Sp. Def: 65–338 → 65–400
• Attack Speed: 0–8% increase
• HP recovery from basic attacks: 0–15% → 0–20%

Volt Switch - Damage: 10% increase
Thunder Punch - Damage: 10% increase

Unite Move: Zip Zap Full-Charge Spark

• Now resets the cooldowns of Pawmot's other moves upon use.
• Range: 6m → 7m
• Gauge increase (Basic Attack): 6% → 8% when hitting opposing Pokémon
• Gauge increase (Move): 3% → 4% when hitting opposing Pokémon

Since its release, Pawmot was being knocked out more often than anticipated, making it difficult for Pawmot to utilize its key strength of sustained fighting. Additionally, the low usage frequency of its Unite Move, which was designed as a combat initiator, was also a major issue.

To address these two issues, this adjustment increases Pawmot's base durability and changes the specifications of its Unite Move, allowing it to be used more frequently and as an initiator for powerful combos. The expectation is that these changes will allow Pawmot to fight more tenaciously and succeed with the chain attacks initiated by its Unite Move.

Bug Fixes

The following bug has been fixed: Fixed a bug where Pawmot's Thunder Punch was also dealing damage to allies.
