Pokémon Unite Datamine leaks reveal an upcoming new Game mode and two Pokémon
Nothing gets Pokémon fans and Unite MOBA fans more excited than the addition of new Pokémon to the game. However, this time, in addition to the leaks of three new Pokemon joining the roster, the dependable dataminer @ElChicoeevee has hinted at a possible new Game Mode in the Pokémon Unite MOBA. The dataminer leaks are not particularly detailed. However, we have extracted as much as we can about the altered gameplay. The actual beta Leak text was in Chinese, so there may be some language issues, but the hints are clear.
Draft Ban-Pick Mode: New Game Mode
Pokémon Unite has made it clear that they are focusing on making the game more competitive since the introduction of the Theia Sky Ruins Map. The Ban-Pick Mode is now available in Pokemon Unite, as it is in many other MOBAs such as League of Legends. This mode essentially forces players to vote on whether to ban certain Pokémon, whether they are overpowered or weaklings, for both teams just before the match begins.
According to the leak, players can vote to ban a Pokemon from the game entirely (for both teams) and also request others to vote or request suggestions from others, after which the opposition must face his ban for that game for that Pokémon.
Furthermore, the leaks reveal that if the vote count is tied, either of the winning Pokémon may be banned at random. The leak also reveals that you can ask everyone not to ban a specific Pokémon that you want to play with. As a result, only the player has access to that Pokémon. As a result, if someone selects Mew, neither of the Opponent team's players will be able to select Mew.
However, if the banning process removes all of one's Pokémon, one may choose from the list of banned Pokémon0. As far as we could tell from the translated data, all of this chatting can only be done in Quick Chat with teammates and opponents alike.
Surprisingly, the leaks indicate that this DRAFT Mode will be available only to Master Rank players. Master Rank players, on the other hand, form alliances with Veterans and Ultras. As a result, does this imply that in the future, only Master Ranked players will compete against Master Ranked players? Time would only tell.
New Pokémon and stat changes
Mr. Mime, Cramorant, Aegislash, Glaceon, Charizard, Wigglytuff, Absol, Blastoise, Gengar, Mew, and Slowbro will all have their move stats reduced in the next update, much to the delight of many. Aside from their moves, Buzzwole and Azumarril will have their stats updated.
Introduction of two new Pokémon
The most exciting part is that leaks have revealed two new Pokémon to the roster. This time, a speedster and another Supporter are involved, in addition to Clefairy. Clefairy was unexpectedly announced by Pokémon Unite. Rumors and speculations have revealed that the other supporter is the Dark/Ghost-Type Sableye. The Generation III Pokémon will arrive shortly after Clefairy.
The other Pokemon is Zoroark, a Dark-Type from Generation V. It would also go through a pre-evolutionary phase in Zorua, playing the role of a Speedster. The beta-test gameplay video reveals that Zoroark and Zorua have the Illusion ability. This ability allows the Pokémon to temporarily assume the form of any other Pokémon that is visible to it. It could be a friendly, hostile, or wild Pokémon.
Final Thoughts
For the time being, we've shared as much information as we could from the Chinese beta datamines with you. The news of the two new Pokémon is also heating things up. Zoroark's abilities would undoubtedly be popular among gamers.
