Mewtwo Joins the Fray!

The Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo is now available in Pokémon Unite. Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X during battle and can use its attacks in quick succession to attack relentlessly.

Additionally, the Unite license for Mega Mewtwo Y is scheduled to become available in mid-August, giving Trainers additional ways to play as this fan-favorite Pokémon.
