Pokemon Unite To Add Gardevoir As New Playable Pokemon

Pokemon Unite is adding its first new Pokemon to its roster. Tencent just announced that Gardevoir would be added to the game on Wednesday, July 28th. Gardevoir is classified as a Ranged Attacker and has ranged several AOE attacks that can hit multiple Pokemon at once. Gardevoir’s moveset (which were previously datamined from the game’s files) includes a passive ability that triggers whenever Gardevoir is hit with a movement speed decrease or damage-over-time condition by an opponent. That opponent suffers the same effects as those it just inflected on Gardevoir. Gardevoir’s boosted basic attack not only deals AOE damage, it also decreases an opponent’s Special Defense stat for a short period of time, making them more vulnerable to Gardevoir’s other attacks.

Attention, Trainers! Gardevoir is arriving to the shores of Aeos Island on July 28!
