Super Smash Bros. Ultimate isn't the only game receiving a new character this week, as Pokémon Unite prepares to welcome new fighter, Greedent.
The Normal-type Pokémon, which first debuted in Pokémon Sword and Shield on Switch, arrives in-game tomorrow, 20th October. The Pokémon's been described as "a berry useful Melee Defender" (we see what they did there) that looks like it'll be able to belly flop its way to victory in Unite.
Greedent will debut alongside a brand new Halloween event which kicks off on the same day; the event will run from 20th October until 7th November, as seen below:
Of course, Greedent is the latest in a rather unexpected lineup of Pokémon included in the game. Recently, the game's producer took the time to explain the team's thinking behind including these more out-there characters.

I like the Pokémon diversity in this game so far. Greedent is not a Pokémon you would think of as the top of the most popular list, but is indeed a welcome addition. Really excited for this event.
It's really cool how Unite is taking from lesser loved and generally less marketable Pokémon instead of exclusively starters, legendaries, and whatever flavour-of-the-gen furry trended on Twitter one time.
I hope they don't charge 10,000 for it.
@Miyamotosan
It looks really fun, I think it'll be 8k.
Looks like a sonic character that didn’t fully anthropomorphize
I love that fat, doofy squirrel ❤
He's adorable! I'll definitely pick him up
He's probably my least fav early route normal, even like Raticate more. Would have loved Bibarel, especially with the remakes upcoming.
With the addition of greedent, my least favorite eveelution, and the inclusion of my all time least favorite mr. Mime, it's only a matter of time before they add trubbish to spite me further
Overall super fun game though, blastoise is my main
This game is terrible. The bots is the main issue. If you lose a game, you will be placed in a super easy game of just bots, and it’s awful. The game is no where near the level of league of legends, which is much better. Unite is a pay to win baby MOBA that’s nothing more than insulting to the consumer.
I’ve loved greedunt ever since he was revealed because I always just wanted a fat squirrel pokemon haha. This will be the first pokemon in awhile I unlock in unite
@CheekyZelda Sounds like you are on the lowest rank and are getting bots. No need to angry complain because of it. It's a fun game, not meant to be a trash talking sweaty crap fest like LoL, very odd comparison.
Really a bad choice, very disappointing
There was A LOT of better options, even without going to fan-favorites, we could have: Bibarell, Diggersby, Obstagoon, Bewear (that only in the bulky normal/something category)
But instead they chose the boring squirrel that looks like a generic cereal box mascot
Also, we already had a mono normal-type defender (Snorlax). I really don't know what they had in mind.
Greed...ent. What a nice fit.
