How to get Empoleon in Pokemon Unite

With the recent debut of Empoleon in Pokemon Unite, Aeos Islands has once again expanded its playable roster. This Emperor Pokemon is the first melee fighter among the All-Rounders to rely on Special Attack damage rather than physical strength, in contrast to the majority of characters in this category.

Empoleon is an intermediate-difficulty, versatile choice for players who like unpredictable battles and sustained clashes, relying on a balanced combination of offense, healing, and disruption.

Here is all the information you require to unlock Empoleon in Pokemon Unite if you are eager to include it in your lineup.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to participate:

1) Daily Dice Login: Log in each day to receive one dice. You can hold only one login dice at a time, so make sure to use it before the next day or it will reset.

2) Rolling the Die: Roll your die to move across the event board. If you are unhappy with your roll, you can reroll using Aeos Coins (up to five rerolls per die).

3) Tile Missions: Each tile presents a small mission, such as winning two matches or playing with a specific Pokemon like Talonflame. Complete the mission to roll again, or skip it instantly by spending 5 Aeos Gems.

4) Hoarfrost Emperor rewards: Finishing a board earns you Hoarfrost Emperor Coins:

• 90% chance of 100 Coins
• 10% chance of 150 Coins

5) Lucky Squares: Some tiles are “lucky” and automatically move you ahead by 1-3 spaces, speeding up your progress.

6) Extra Dice opportunities: You can get up to 10 bonus dice during the event through:
