Latios Arrives in Pokémon UNITE on July 18

Sure thing, let’s dive in.

So, guess what? I stumbled upon this news — you know, like when you find an old sock behind the couch — that Latios is heading to Pokémon UNITE. Yeah, mark your calendar, it’s Friday, 18th July. Or, wait, was it Thursday? Nope, definitely Friday. This date’s etched in stone with the big 4th-anniversary bash happening and all.

Throwback time! Remember when Latios made its grand debut in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire? Good times. Anyway, now it’s gonna be flexing muscles and doing whatever it is Pokémon do — strategizing? Thrashing? — on Aeos Island. Should be fun.

Here’s the official word, straight from the horse’s mouth… or the company, I mean. “The Pokémon UNITE 4th Anniversary begins on July 18! To help celebrate, Latios will join the fray as an Attacker on the first day of the event!” That’s their social media buzz. And, amusingly enough, they’re like, “Stay tuned for more info.” Classic — a cliffhanger, right? Kinda like when you end up with more questions than answers after a mystery movie.

Did I mention Pokémon UNITE is up for grabs digitally? Hit the Nintendo eShop for Switch or, if you’re more of a phone-tapping type, the App Store or Google Play’s got you covered. Play wherever, just don’t blame me if you get overly competitive. Or start tossing your phone around. Not that it’s happened to me… okay, maybe once.

So, yeah. Latios. Pokémon UNITE. July 18. Get hyped or, you know, casually interested. Or whatever suits your weekday mood.
