Latios Arrives in Pokémon UNITE on July 18

Sure thing! Here you go:

—

Whoa, so, this wild bit of news popped up about Pokémon UNITE — seriously, no idea why it stuck with me, but hey, here we are. Apparently, Latios, that dragon-y legendary fella from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, is jumping into the madness on Aeos Island. Mark your calendars or set a reminder or something because it’s happening on Friday, July 18th. Which is, uh, next Friday? Or maybe it was last Friday — I ought to check a calendar.

Anyway, it’s part of this fourth anniversary bash they’re throwing for the game. Four years already, and I still can’t get past level 10 in that thing, but I digress. They dropped this tidbit on social media, and like everyone’s holding their breath for more juicy deets. Well, maybe not everyone — just the UNITE fanatics. “Stay tuned,” they said. It felt like one of those times someone dramatically closes a book and you just have to… wait.

Now, how do you even get in on this action? Pokémon UNITE is floating around out there in the digital ether. Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android — take your pick. Just snag it off Nintendo eShop, App Store, or Google Play. Free download too, which is sweet. I probably just got distracted by the idea of a legendary Pokémon battling about. Makes me think of wet cardboard on ice. No clue why, but that’s the vibe.

Anyway — wait, no, what was I saying? Oh, right, Latios. Game on!
