How to unlock Crustle in Pokémon Unite

Pokémon Unite deviates from the traditional formula that the Pokémon franchise is known for. This Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, or MOBA, pits two teams of five against each other on a mission to score the most goals before time runs out. One of the standout competitors, Crustle, is locked initially. What does it take to unlock this character without spending a dime?

To unlock Crustle for free, players will have to complete the Beginner's Challenge. This is a seven-day challenge where players must finish several tasks each day. Upon completing the seventh day, players are granted Crustle’s Unite License.
