Pokemon UNITE Free Rotation: Week of Aug. 23-29

We've compiled a comprehensive list of all free rotation Pokemon in Pokemon UNITE for the week of Aug. 23-29.

"Free Rotation" Pokemon are essentially Pokemon UNITE battlers that are available to play for free for a limited time. This is a good time to try out a different main or strategy, learn your opponent's kit, or attempt to fill a new role before committing to that Pokemon with currency.

Pokemon UNITE Free Rotation for Aug. 23 to Aug. 29

The current list of Pokemon available as part of the Free Rotation feature in Pokemon UNITE contains:

• Gengar
• Lucario
• Cinderace
• Wigglytuff

Gengar is a melee special speedster that prioritizes special attack over "regular" attack. It was once one of the most deadly choices in-game, but has since taken a blow to its popularity following a recent patch. Its highest rating is in Mobility with Offense, Endurance, and Scoring following behind, respectively. Gengar's passive, Levitate, applies a permanent buff to its movement speed when not in combat. Players can purchase Gengar's UNITE license from the Aeos Emporium for 10,000 Aeos Coins or 575 Aeos Gems.

Lucario is a melee physical all-rounder that prioritizes regular attack over special attack. It is one of the hardier middle section—or "jungle"—natives with a specifically interconnected kit. Its highest rating is in Mobility with Offense and Scoring tied for second and Endurance in third. Steadfast, its passive ability, shields it from damage and buffs its speed at low health. Players can purchase Lucario's UNITE license from the Aeos Emporium for 10,000 Aeos Coins or 575 Aeos Gems.

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.

Wigglytuff is a melee special supporter that prioritizes special attack over regular attack. Despite its "support" role, players typically use Wigglytuff as a mixture of crowd control and muscle—essentially trading part of Snorlax's defense for mobility. Its highest rating is in Support with Endurance and Mobility tied for second and Offense and Scoring tied for last. Wigglytuff's passive, Charm, makes opposing Pokemon infatuated with it and approach it against their will for a short time on a cooldown. Players can purchase its UNITE license from the Aeos Emporium for 8,000 Aeos Coins or 460 Aeos Gems.

The next free rotation rollover will happen late on Sunday, Aug. 29.
