Egg on your team with the latest Supporter
Support players get a new Pokemon to add to the rotation this week. ThePokemon Uniteteam has confirmed that Blissey will be the next Pokemon coming to the battle arena.
Blissey joins the matches this Wednesday, Aug. 18. Playing as a Supporter Pokemon, Blissey’s abilities look to center around buffing and healing their teammates. Its Unite Move, Bliss Assistance, will let it dash to an allied Pokemon and protect it from attacks.

Pokemon Uniteis currently available on Nintendo Switch, with amobile launchplanned for sometime in September. It’s overall apretty interesting takeon the MOBA formula, mixing the familiarity of Pokemon with the crushing highs and lows of a MOBA match. Some have derided its microtransaction scheme though, as leveling up held items does give you a bit of an advantage over those still working on enhancing them.
For me, I’m probably saving my coins on this one. Blissey certainly sounds interesting, as adding more Pokemon to the Supporter role will hopefully add a little more variety there. I usually only see Eldegosses and a few Mr. Mime players, and the one or two rare Wigglytuff players who absolutely annihilate the opposition.
As a Defender player though, I’m holding out for the next Pokemon for that category, Blastoise. They were confirmed as coming toPokemon Uniteback in June, but so far both Gardevoir and the mystery mark, Blissey, have launched before them.
So my watch continues, as I wait for my large water-cannon-toting turtle to make their way to myUnitematches. I can still make do with Snorlax and Slowbro just fine for now, though. We’ll see what Blissey brings to the table when they land inPokemon Uniteon Aug. 18.
For other Pokemon news, remember there’s anew Pokemon Presents set to airthe same day Blissey goes live, on Aug. 18 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET.
