Pokemon Unite Guide: Decidueye release date, moveset

Pokémon Unite will soon be adding a new character to its roster as Decidueye's release date is just around the corner. Soon enough, fans will finally get to play as the Grass/Flying-type and shoot some arrows on the way to scoring at goal zones. Here's when Decidueye will officially be coming to Pokémon Unite.

Pokémon Unite Decidueye Release Date: November 19, 2021

Decidueye will be arriving in Pokémon Unite on November 19, 2021, perfect for entering the weekend with some fun new gameplay in the MOBA.

Fans were already highly anticipating the release of Decidueye, as the official Pokemon Unite Twitter shared a teaser of the Alolan starter's arrow quills soaring through the air a few days ago. The account then posted a confirmation of the release date last Friday, November 12. Players also got a sneak peek into Decidueye's moveset with the launch of the official trailer and character spotlight.

Trainers will start out with Rowlet, which will evolve into Dartrix at level 5, and finally to Decidueye at level 7.
