Gyarados is ready to show the world what it’s made of in the multiplayer online battle arena game, Pokémon Unite. In other words, a new challenger approaches!
Following the recent Battle Pass 21 and a new ranked season in Season 17, events have been rather stacked for the future of the cross-platform game produced by TiMi Studios.
There have already been teasers released of what to expect from the Pokémon and its versatile abilities. There is a heavy emphasis on charged attacks within its moveset that highlights the character’s unique playstyle as it hovers over the air in movement, ready to strike foes down.
The Pokémon is set to be a vicious all-rounder, specializing in a variety of powerful Water-type attacks, as well as some Flying ones within its arsenal. All-rounders are a special role given to Pokémon that share a mix of both offensive and defensive capabilities, putting them in a class above the rest from the standard Defender and Speedster roles of the game.
Their Endurance also typically proves to be quite commendable, as it allows them to be able to tank ferocious hits and dish out even stronger ones against anyone that gets in their way.
Gyarados had been available on the Public Test Server (PTS) from December 15 to December 19, which was only done for a limited time. Gearing up for its official release on the main build of the game, the socials for Pokémon Unite’s X account have been keen on sharing clips regarding Gyarados’ unique moves.
See this Pokémon and more in the latest installment of Pokémon Unite, ready to drop on January 25, where it will be available on launch for all players.
The Pokémon MOBA is available for free on Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices.
