Since the game’s release in July of last year,Pokemon Unite’s impressive roster of creatures from the iconic monster-catching franchise has grown with each passing month. The game’s current roster of thirty-three Pokemon spans all eight generations ofPokemongames and includes a mix of fan favorites and starters like Pikachu, Charizard and Decidueye as well as several Mythical and Legendary Pokemon from throughout the franchise likethe recently-added Hoopaand Zeraora. Now, the popularPokemonMOBA looks to be teasing the next additions to the game’s cast of characters.Pokemon Unite’s growing cast features a wide variety of diverse movesets for its thirty-plus Pokemon with many recent creatures experimenting with unique movesets. The previously-mentioned Hoopa uses its rings to teleport itself and its allies around the map, allowing teams to quickly group up for objectives and get the jump on opponents. Joining the roster before Hoopa, Aegislash draws on its sword and shield identity to constantly tread the line between playing defensive or aggressive. Now, a recent tweet fromPokemon Unite’s official Twitter account has fans speculating about the next Pokemon to join the fight.RELATED:Pokemon Unite Update Will Fix Hoopa ProblemsThe tweet posted by the officialPokemon Uniteaccount on Friday shows the shadow of Duraludon, the game’s most recent addition, looking at a “confidential” file on two mystery Pokemon.
