Dragonite arriving in Pokémon Unite

Dragonite will be officially coming to the game on December 19. Developers also released a trailer displaying its movements and confirming it will be a Ranged All-Rounder. This means it will have more balanced stats than any other offensive or defensive specialist Pokémon.

Note: The release date on the above tweet is wrong and Dragonite’s release is set to December 19.

Unlike many other Pokémons, Dragonite will have a boosted basic attack. This effect is different for every evolution stage and occurs on every third basic attack. In the basic stage, Dratini fires a water blast that heals itself, reducing its cooldown time.

Whereas in stage one, Dragonair fires a thunder blast to the opponents while also stunning them for a few seconds. Lastly, Dragonite fires a fire blast that deals tremendous damage to nearby enemies. According to some rumors regarding Dragonite’s moveset, it may have been built based on boosting its own damage through various moves.
