The announcement dropped on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemonunite.jp\/en\/topics\/news\/20260626-1\/\">official Pok\u00e9mon UNITE Asia website<\/a> on 26 June, with a full slate of anniversary events running from 1 July through the main milestone date of 21 July 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Yveltal Leads the Legendary Roster Expansion<\/h2>\n<p>Four Legendary Pok\u00e9mon are arriving in sequence across the anniversary window. Yveltal \u2014 classified as an Attacker \u2014 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 Pok\u00e9mon in the right situation, which should make it a high-risk, high-reward pick for Attacker mains.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 the Asia site promises details as each license event opens.<\/p>\n<p>The key point: all four legendary licenses are obtainable for free through event participation. No real-money purchase required.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KAg_2GifYIM\" title=\"The Pok\u00e9mon UNITE 5th Anniversary starts July 21!\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>The Pok\u00e9mon UNITE 5th Anniversary starts July 21! \u2014 via Pok\u00e9mon UNITE on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>10-Day Log-In Bonus: Pick a Pok\u00e9mon or Holowear Every Day<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-unite-5th-anniversary-login-bonus.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon UNITE 5th Anniversary 10-day log-in bonus event showing Pok\u00e9mon and Holowear choices by role\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ TiMi Studio Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Running alongside the anniversary, a 10-day log-in event lets you choose between a Pok\u00e9mon license or a Holowear cosmetic each day. The selections rotate through all five battle roles across the ten days \u2014 Attacker, Speedster, All-Rounder, Defender, and Supporter each get two days (one Pok\u00e9mon pick, one Holowear pick).<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>5,550 License Points and the Full Legendary License Art<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-unite-5th-anniversary-license-points-rewards.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon UNITE 5th anniversary rewards showing 5550 License Points, License Art cards and a Selection Box\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ TiMi Studio Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Beyond the legendary License events and the daily log-in bonus, anniversary activities stack up to 5,550 License Points in total rewards.

Players also receive License Art cards for all four incoming legendaries \u2014 Yveltal, Palkia, Reshiram, and Solgaleo \u2014 plus a Selection Box to pick additional rewards.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Battle Pass Season 43 and Ranked Match Series 37<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-unite-battle-pass-season-43-regal-style-pikachu.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon UNITE Battle Pass Season 43 featuring Regal Style Pikachu Holowear with royal crown and cape\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ TiMi Studio Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Battle Pass Season 43 launches alongside the anniversary celebrations with <strong>Regal Style: Pikachu<\/strong> as its signature Holowear \u2014 a royal look complete with a jewelled crown and ermine-trim robe.
