Pokemon Unite could be adding a new game mode or feature soon, which will allow players to capture and use the wild Pokemon who roam around the maps. The dataminer ElChicoEevee discovered game assets that indicate players will soon have the ability to capture and control the wild Pokemon on Pokemon Unite’s map. The datamine included image assets tied to various wild Pokemon’s moves, which are displayed on the HUD for players to use when controlling their Pokemon. Additionally, a separate datamine discovered that the wild Pokemon, which include Pokemon like Zapdos, Regigigas, and Drednaw, all have scoring animations. This appears to be a new game mode tied to Mer Stadium, the stadium only accessible in Quick Matches.
