A Public Test server is an excellent addition to any live service game, and it was recently announced that Pokemon Unite is getting one.

Public Test servers are utilized by various developers for upcoming updates to their titles, like Riot with Valorant. On the server, registered players can check them out and report any bugs or glitches before the update comes online worldwide. Now, Unite players will also have a similar opportunity.

Pokemon Unite is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena available for Android, iOS, and Switch. Developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokemon Company, the game has been an immensely popular title, with legions of players thronging the servers.

The app has been officially described as being for testing purposes. It "aims to gather data for balance changes and bug fixes, which will be utilized in future updates." Those who participate and complete the survey will be given a code that they can redeem for items in Pokemon Unite.

The developers have warned players that they are not guaranteed a comfortable gaming experience since it is a Public Test server. The game data may be deleted without notice, and sudden emergency maintenance may occur. Players must also remember that the game data and progress on the test server are different from the actual game itself.

The Public Test begins on June 30 for players from the aforementioned regions with Android devices. Players from other regions or on other platforms will have to wait and hope that the developers decide to include them in the near future.

According to Upcomer, data mine leaks showed that players would likely be able to test out new additions, including Glaceon and Buzzwole. The former will be an attacker with the characteristics of short distance, medium difficulty, and special attacker. The latter will be an all-rounder with melee, medium difficulty, and physical attacker.
