Mimikyu's abilities showcased in this Pokemon Unite trailer places focus on them having the power to sneak up on an unsuspecting opponent, teleporting to their position while also dealing damage, making them similar to League of Legends champion Lee Sin. Mimikyu can also trap their opponent underneath its costume via its exclusive Z-Move, which can deal massive amounts of damage. Finally, Meowscarada, the final evolved form of Sprigatito, will be added as well, with the ability to produce a doppelganger of itself to attack in two different areas.

According to this leaked trailer, Blaziken will be coming to Pokemon Unite on September 14, while the other two are only stated to be "coming soon." Some fans on the subreddit were happy to see these three, though others hoped that more Pokemon are on the way. One fan stated they hoped that Mimikyu would get the same costumes as Pikachu already does in the game, just with the same homemade style associated with the Pokemon.

Pokemon Unite is available now for Android, iOS, and Switch.
