Pokémon UNITE reaches its fifth birthday on July 21, and the celebration has already started — Yveltal is in the game today, July 3, and Singapore players can unlock its Unite License for free by clearing event missions. No Aeos Gems required.

How to Unlock Yveltal for Free in Pokémon UNITE
A limited license event starting today lets you earn Yveltal’s Unite License by completing in-game missions — no spending required. Yveltal is an Attacker focused on long-range damage output; the official Pokémon UNITE Asia website describes it as “particularly strong at dealing damage to opponents from afar,” making it a solid pick for teams that need sustained ranged pressure. The event window is time-limited, so claim it while the missions are live.
Four Legendary Pokémon Through August
Yveltal is just the first. The anniversary roster expansion runs across the whole summer, with each Legendary arriving with its own free-license event:
- Yveltal (Attacker) — event from July 3
- Palkia (All-Rounder) — July 17
- Reshiram (Attacker) — August 7
- Solgaleo (All-Rounder) — August 21
Each Pokemon arrives with its own standalone event, so the free-license windows are spread across two months. Miss one though and you would need to wait for a rerun — or buy the license outright.

5th Anniversary Event: Full Rewards Breakdown
The main anniversary celebration officially kicks off on July 21 — UNITE’s actual fifth birthday — and extends through September 9 for login bonuses. Here is what is available:
