Psyduck Joins Pokemon Unite Next Week

Psyduck finally has a Pokemon Unite release date. The iconic water-type character launches on November 14, 2024. 

There’s no official gameplay footage for Psyduck yet. However, we do know a few things about the unit ahead of its debut. The character will be a Supporter in the game. Also, while most Pokemon do evolve to their later forms, Psyduck won’t. It will remain as-is and not eventually transform into Golduck as you earn experience during a match. As it is a supporter and water-type, expect it to either primarily inflict debuffs or aid allies. Also, since it is known for some psychic attacks like Confusion, that could come up in the character’s moveset in-game.

This is one of three recent playable Pokemon confirmations for the game. Armarouge debuted in September 2024. Darkrai followed in October 2024, likely in honor of Halloween.

As a reminder, there’s another reason to return to Pokemon Unite besides Psyduck joining the game. Timi Studio is celebrating the launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket. You can log in and claim a snapshot background that looks like the back of Pokemon card. That offer is only available in-game until December 5, 2024.

Pokemon Unite is available on the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The Psyduck License will launch on November 14, 2024.
