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.

Pokémon UNITE is going big for its fifth birthday: Yveltal, Palkia, Reshiram, and Solgaleo are all joining the roster this July, and you can earn their Unite licenses completely free through event participation. The announcement dropped on the official Pokémon UNITE Asia website on 26 June, with a full slate of anniversary events running from 1 July through the main milestone date of 21 July 2026.

Yveltal Leads the Legendary Roster Expansion

Four Legendary Pokémon are arriving in sequence across the anniversary window. Yveltal — classified as an Attacker — is first, with its License event kicking off on 3 July. The official description touts its Dark Aura ability as capable of instantly KO-ing opposing Pokémon in the right situation, which should make it a high-risk, high-reward pick for Attacker mains.

Palkia slots in as an All-Rounder, leaning into close-quarters combat with space-distortion abilities. Reshiram and Solgaleo round out the quartet, with their roles and event dates still to be confirmed — the Asia site promises details as each license event opens.

The key point: all four legendary licenses are obtainable for free through event participation. No real-money purchase required.

10-Day Log-In Bonus: Pick a Pokémon or Holowear Every Day

Running alongside the anniversary, a 10-day log-in event lets you choose between a Pokémon license or a Holowear cosmetic each day. The selections rotate through all five battle roles across the ten days — Attacker, Speedster, All-Rounder, Defender, and Supporter each get two days (one Pokémon pick, one Holowear pick).

For newer Singapore players who have gaps in their roster, this is worth logging in for daily. Holowear choices include fan favourites for competitive roles. The Attacker day alone shows a handful of well-regarded picks.

5,550 License Points and the Full Legendary License Art

Beyond the legendary License events and the daily log-in bonus, anniversary activities stack up to 5,550 License Points in total rewards. That is a meaningful chunk toward any unlocked Pokémon. Players also receive License Art cards for all four incoming legendaries — Yveltal, Palkia, Reshiram, and Solgaleo — plus a Selection Box to pick additional rewards.

Daily login bonuses continue through 9 September 2026, so even players who can only check in occasionally will accumulate a solid haul over the summer.

Battle Pass Season 43 and Ranked Match Series 37

Battle Pass Season 43 launches alongside the anniversary celebrations with Regal Style: Pikachu as its signature Holowear — a royal look complete with a jewelled crown and ermine-trim robe. It is also the season that bundles bonus License Points into the pass, layering neatly on top of the free anniversary rewards for pass holders.

Ranked Match Series 37 also kicks off during the anniversary window, bringing the Theia Sky Ruins map back to rotation with Kyogre as the central objective. If you have been grinding toward Legend Rank, the new series resets the ladder — meaning Singapore players have a clean slate heading into the game’s biggest celebration yet.

Pokémon UNITE is free to play on iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch. All anniversary events are live from 1 July, with the main 5th Anniversary milestone hitting on 21 July 2026.
