Changes to Learning Moves During Battle
Thank you for always enjoying Pokémon UNITE. Beginning Friday, February 27, 2026, the way in which Pokémon learn moves during battle will be updated.
From this point onward, players will be able to pre-select the moves their Pokémon will learn during battle, and no decision-making will be needed during battle.
■ How to select moves
Before battle, select the moves you would like to learn during battle via either of the two screens below.
Pokémon details
If you would like to take your time choosing your Pokémon’s moves, you can select them on the Pokémon details screen, via the main menu.
Battle Prep
If you would like to select your Pokémon’s moves after seeing your allies’ and opponents’ team composition, you can select them in Battle Prep.
■ Differences during battle
- Stay levelheaded—even during the fray!
- Since your Pokémon’s moves will have been selected beforehand, you won’t need to worry about picking the wrong move during battle.
- Focus on gameplay
- Since you won’t need to worry about move selection, you can keep your focus on battle—even when leveling up.
We hope you enjoy Unite Battles with this new system that keeps your focus on battling!
