Pokémon Unite: Reshiram, Solgaleo arrive; Season 38

Pokémon Unite’s August update adds two new playable Pokémon and starts a new ranked cycle and Battle Pass season. Ranked Season 38 and Battle Pass Season 44 begin on August 1 and run through August 31.

Ranked matches for August will use the Theia Sky Ruins map (Groudon). Players who reach Legend rank during Season 38 can claim seasonal rewards such as exclusive trainer outfits, profile backgrounds and stickers tied to the season.

Battle Pass Season 44 features a new holowear for Zacian called Wanderer Style Zacian, along with profile customizations and other rewards. The standard pass costs 690 Aeos Gems and the Premium Battle Pass costs 1,190 Aeos Gems. Premium purchasers gain access to an exclusive holowear effect spray, colored contact lens option, a Battle Pass–exclusive sticker, background and frame, a special hair color option and increased License Points through completing Battle Pass events.

Reshiram is introduced as an Attacker that deals mid-range damage to multiple opponents. Its kit focuses on chaining abilities and a passive that boosts attacks and applies burn after using abilities. Reshiram will be obtainable for free through a commemorative event beginning August 7.

Solgaleo arrives as an All‑Rounder able to disrupt opponents with hindrance effects and increase damage during its Unite Move’s Radiant Sun phase. Solgaleo’s free commemorative event begins August 21.

To mark the game’s fifth anniversary, a Log-in Bonus event runs into September. The event grants daily rewards including exclusive License Art for select Pokémon, Unite licenses and other login prizes.

Additional event details and in‑game changes will be posted through the game’s official channels as the dates approach. All prices and schedules are listed in Aeos Gems and apply for the August event windows.
