To fulfill this role, Speedsters have high mobility to traverse the map, farm potential and powerful combos.
As well as increasing the list of Pokemon Unites playable Speedsters, the arrival of Galarian Rapidash will expand the cast to over 70 playable characters. The arrival of Gen 8 Pokémon comes just over a month after the debut of Tinkaton on December 12th. Miraidon is expected to be the next character, making her debut in late February. Interestingly, this is only the second regional form to debut in Pokemon Unitethe first is Alolan Ninetales, which was added in July 2021.
