Latios Arrives in Pokémon UNITE on July 18

Okay, so, here’s the deal. The Pokémon Company International just dropped some pretty exciting news. Latios – yeah, that legendary bird-dragon thing from way back when in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire – is crashing the party in Pokémon UNITE. And guess what? It’s all kicking off on Friday, July 18. Conveniently lining up with the game’s fourth birthday bash — which honestly, where did the time go?

Now, a quick sidebar: I remember when Latios first showed up in the games. Back then, trying to capture it was, let’s just say, a wild ride. Anyone else kind of nostalgic for that? Or maybe just me being sentimental. Who knows.

Alright, back on track! So, Latios is prepping to dive into the Aeos Island showdown as an Attacker. Which, side note, should be interesting for those who love a good tactical challenge. I mean, will it do well? Maybe. Maybe not. Quite the experiment, huh?

Social media’s been buzzing – they basically shouted, “Hold onto your Poké Balls, Latios is dropping in hot for the 4th Anniversary!” Or something to that effect. Pretty slick timing to shake things up during the event, I’d say.

And for those out there still figuring out how to snag a game copy – it’s free, can you believe it? Hit up the Nintendo eShop if you’re on the Switch vibe, or nab it on the App Store or Google Play for all the mobile warriors out there.

So yeah. It’s happening. Maybe marking it on a calendar isn’t a bad idea. Or not. Just me rambling randomly here.
