On July 16, 2026, Pokémon UNITE launched its 'Enduring Formation' update, bringing crucial balance changes and exciting anniversary news.
The patch overhauled several Pokémon: favorites like Aegislash, Gyarados, and Umbreon received significant buffs to their durability and move efficiency, while powerhouses like Suicune and Sylveon faced necessary nerfs to bring them in line with the competition.
Additionally, held items like the Rescue Hood and Choice Scarf were strengthened to encourage new playstyles.
With the celebration starting on July 21, developers confirmed the arrival of the legendary Palkia, with Reshiram and Solgaleo also teased.
Players can look forward to login bonuses throughout July and August, including a special 'Premium Holowear Selection Box' on July 21.
Finally, a long-requested quality-of-life improvement has arrived: the Battle Prep screen now features an intuitive move selection UI, allowing players to manage their move sets more efficiently before matches.
These updates ensure the battlefield remains fresh and fair as the community gears up for the game's big milestone celebration.
