Pokémon UNITE is celebrating its second anniversary with a huge update, including the release of Mega Mewtwo X.

Released on July 21, 2021, Pokémon UNITE has captivated Pokémon and MOBA enthusiasts for the last two years with thrilling, fast-paced Pokémon battles. Since then, the roster of playable Pokémon has quickly grown in size and continues to grow with the latest addition of Mega Mewtwo X, the newest playable legendary Pokémon added to the game.

It is the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in Pokémon UNITE

Mega Mewtwo X is an All-Rounder type Pokémon that excels in soaking damage whilst in melee combat. After level six, it will periodically evolve whilst in combat and gain a temporary boost in stats. This is also the first Pokémon available to use Mega Evolution in Pokémon UNITE.
