Pokemon Unite Is Adding Galarian Rapidash (But Its Abilities Already Leaked)

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen Pokemon evolve from handheld games to mobile apps and now battle arenas. The latest addition to this ever-growing universe is the Galarian Rapidash in Pokemon Unite, and boy, am I excited!

TiMi Studio Group, the creators of Pokemon Unite, have revealed the upcoming addition to the game following Tinkaton, which is the Galarian form of Rapidash. This new character is set to debut on January 23rd, as announced this week. A sneak peek at the Galarian Rapidash has also been released. For those who follow Pokemon Unite leaks closely, you may already be aware that details about its abilities have also been leaked, offering a glimpse of what it can do when launched into the game.

Initially, let’s take a peek at the rendition of Galarian Rapidash from Pokemon Unite below. Since Tinkaton was introduced in December, it’s only about a month until we see another release, with Rapidash likely being a Speedster Pokemon due to its swift characteristics.
