Pokemon UNITE Free Rotation for the Week of Oct. 17

We’ve compiled a short list and layered explanation on which Pokemon are included in the free rotation this week.

It’s that time of the week again: Pokemon UNITE’s free rotation turnover has completed and trainers have a new set of free trial Pokemon to choose from. Free rotation allows trainers to try out a Pokemon before they commit the Aeos currency to purchase their license, making it a popular feature in-game.

Here are the four Pokemon up for free this week.

Pokemon UNITE Free Rotation: Oct. 17-23

The Pokemon currently available as part of the free rotation this week are:

• Cinderace
• Cramorant
• Garchomp
• Mr. Mime

As always, we’ve included our short explanation on each featured Pokemon, below.

Cinderace is a ranged physical attacker that prioritizes regular attack over special attack. It is also a popular choice due to its passive and kit. Its highest rating is in Offense with Mobility, Scoring, and Endurance following behind, respectively. Blaze, its passive, applies a litany of buffs from marking a target for extra damage to buffing its speed and base attack at low health. Players can purchase Cinderace from the Aeos Emporium for 8,000 Aeos Coins or 460 Aeos Gems.

Cramorant is a ranged special attacker that prioritizes special attack over the base attack stat. Its highest rating is in Offense with Endurance and Mobility tied for second and Scoring in third. The majority of its ranged moniker comes from its passive, Gulp Missile, which allows it to store prey upon using a UNITE move and then fire it at an opponent that deals damage to it. Players who enjoy playing Cramorant can pick up its UNITE license from the Aeos Emporium for 8,000 Aeos Coins or 460 Aeos Gems.

Garchomp is a melee all-rounder that specializes in physical attacks and, therefore, uses the base attack stat. Most trainers will recognize this Pokemon as the partner to Sinnoh League Champion, Cynthia. Its highest ratings are in Offense and Endurance with Mobility and Scoring tied for second. Rough Skin, its passive ability, applies to other melee attackers by transferring some of their own damage back onto them with every hit. Those who appreciate Garchomp can purchase its UNITE license from the Aeos Emporium for 10,000 Aeos Coins or 575 Aeos Gems.

Mr. Mime is a melee supporter and the only special attacker of the group. Its kit is tailored for crowd control than anything else with a powerful shove and AoE stun ultimate. However, like any crowd control choice, it can be difficult to master the amount of awareness and coordination necessary to perform well. Its highest rating is tied with Support and Endurance with Scoring and Offense tied for second. Mr. Mime can be purchased from the Aeos Emporium for 8,000 Aeos Coins or 460 Aeos Gems.

The next turnover will be on Sunday, Oct. 24.
