How to play as Zeraora in Pokémon Unite

With the launch of Pokémon Unite, there are plenty of early adopter incentives, and one of those boons happens to be a playable Pokémon! In its first month, those who play the game are in for a treat as the Mythical Pokémon Zeraora will serve as a reward. But what do players need to do to claim this Speedster and add him to their lineup?

Any trainer who logs into the game on their Nintendo Switch before August 31 will receive Zeraora free of charge. Before players can grab this unique fighter, they'll need to play the game's basic tutorial first, however.

After opening the mail list, players can check their messages, and in these messages will be a coupon for a free Zeraora!
