Mewtwo release date in Pokemon Unite

Mewtwo will be available to unlock in Pokemon Unite on Friday, July 21, 2023.

It’s currently unknown how players will be able to get this Legendary creature. Chances are you’ll need to purchase a Mewtwo License using Aeos Coins or Aeos Gems, and if that’s the case, we have a feeling it will be one of the most expensive Pokemon in the game.

Having said that, it was previously possible to get a Legendary Zacian License for free by logging in and playing a virtual board game every day during a special event, so something similar could be in the works for Mewtwo’s debut. We’ll just have to wait and see.

An announcement on the Japanese website for Pokemon Unite has revealed there will actually be two Mewtwo Licenses available in Pokemon Unite. The first goes live on July 21 and features Mega Mewtwo Y, while the second goes live in mid-August and features Mega Mewtwo X.

This is a pretty big deal, as it will mark the first time that Mega-Evolution has been available in Pokemon Unite. It’s even more exciting because Mega-Evolution is a feature that’s been absent from the mainline Pokemon games for years now, so it’ll be fun to revisit it.
