The Pokémon Company and TiMi Studio Group have announced that Pokémon MOBA Pokémon Unite will launch on Nintendo Switch on July 21.

Those who login to the free-to-play game before August 31 will also get a Unite license for the electric-mythical Pokémon Zeraora. In Unite, Zeraora is described as being “fast as lightning” and can deal massive damage in the blink of an eye. Their special Unite move can also send out a powerful electric blast that creates an unsafe zone of plasma around the area it strikes.

Pokémon Unite was first announced last year, and given a July launch window before today’s announcement of the specific date. The game will also launch on mobile and you’ll be able to cross-play with the Nintendo Switch later in September using your Nintendo Account.
