Here are the Pokémon that are free to play in this week's Pokémon Unite rotation. Try out these four battlers before you pick them up in the store!

Pokémon Unite: Free Pokémon Rotation, August 15-21

Pokémon Unite, the new free MOBA-style team battler, features a roster of 22 playable Pokémon, all with different roles - from Attackers like Pikachu to Defenders like Snorlax, Supporters such as Eldegoss to Speedsters such as Zeraora, and even All-Rounders like the legendary Charizard.

Each week, four new Pokémon will be available for players to try out free-of-charge. Here are the Pokémon in this week's rotation.

Free Pokemon This Week: August 15-21

Greninja

Attacker

Low down on the tier list of characters right now, Greninja doesn't see too much play in the ranked ladder. However, as with all attackers, can be useful in the right hands.

Machamp

All-Rounder

Capable of disrupting teams with his chase-and-slam, Machamp can be built tanky or offensively. A useful addition when your team needs an all-rounder.

Mr. Mime

Supporter

Mr. Mime is terrifying, that's all you need to know. He can be a right pain when on the enemy team, with his Light Screen serving to be a stunlock, but he can also prove to be an effective fighter through Confusion and Guard Swap.

Absol

Speedster

Difficult to master, Absol can absolutely devastate lanes when ganking is done right. However, he's a bit of a glass cannon.
