Pokemon Uniteis adding the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo to the roster on June 22, 2025, which is the game’s second anniversary. Interestingly, it appears that there will be not one, but two versions of the cat-like Psychic Pokemon added: Mega Mewtwo X will release first on thePokemon Unitelaunch anniversary, while Mega Mewtwo Ywill be released some time in August. It is unknown at this stage what role each version will take; fans are speculating that Mega Mewtwo X could be an All-Rounder, and that Mega Mewtwo Y might be an attacker. However, at this time there has been no official word to confirm their roles.
When Will Mewtwo Be Added to Pokemon Unite?
Mewtwo is one of thePokemonfranchises most iconic creatures. It served as the antagonist in the 1998 filmPokemon: The First Movieandappears as a major character in theDetective Pikachuspinoff. Mewtwo has also made an appearance in the announcement trailer forDetective Pikachu Returnswhich will be releasing later this year.
While Mewtwo is only joining theUniteroster in a few weeks, fans of thePokemonMOBA can look forward to the arrival of Inteleon on July 3 in the interim. Inteleon is the final evolution of the Generation 8 Water-type starter, Sobble. It will be interesting to see how Mewtwo shifts the balance when it does eventually release, but hopefully it won’t upset the proverbial applecart as much asfellow legendary Pokemon Zaciandid when it was added.
