Players who log into Pokémon UNITE by August 31 will receive a Unite license for Zeraora, allowing eager Trainers to use the Electric-type Mythical Pokémon in battle. Zeraora utilizes its speed and moves to close the gap between opponents as fast as lightning.

Its Unite Move, Plasma Gale, sends out an electric eruption, creating a zone of plasma around the area where the attack hits.
