Pokemon Unite Holiday Celebration Free Character License

In a recent tweet, the developers announced that players will have the opportunity to choose one license from a selection of 20 Pokemon, which they will receive for free. In order to get the rewards, players need to head to the Gift Exchange section in the game and use the code “SURPRISE23”. Players who already own the licenses are not left out, as they will be eligible for an alternative reward of 1,000 coins. The list includesseveral exciting Pokemon suitable for various lanes, yet it’s worth noting that some of these can already be acquired for free, effectively narrowing down the pool of options.

Many fans have expressed disappointment regarding the reward for players who already own all thePokemon Unitecharacter licenses, pointing out that receiving a character license typically offers significantly more value. It’s important to highlight that players are not able to select a character they already own and receive its equivalent value in return. Many players feel that such an option would potentially have provided a reward several times greater than the 1,000 coins that players are currently limited to.

The silver lining, however, is that the license being offered is a permanent one. This means that players don’t have to worry about losing access to the character, ensuring that they can own it indefinitely. As far as the best choices go, it narrows down to what character licenses players are missing. Among thenoteworthy choices available in the list are Absol, Dodrio, Zoroark, and Clefable. Although these rewards might not appear substantial to long-time players, they certainly provide significant value to newcomers and those looking to bolster their lineup with some powerful characters.
