Legendaries that should be added next to Pokemon Unite

1) Koraidon

With the introduction of Miraidon, players have eagerly awaited the arrival of its counterpart, Koraidon. Unlike Miraidon's ranged Attacker role, Koraidon could be a melee All-Rounder, offering a distinct playstyle.

Known for its offensive and Area of Effect (AoE) capabilities, Koraidon's abilities could scale with the amount of Aeos energy it holds. This mechanic would add strategic depth, encouraging players to manage their Aeos energy carefully.

Koraidon's signature move, Collision Course, could be a significant highlight, dealing massive damage in a wide area and making it a formidable presence on the battlefield.

2) Zamazenta

With Zacian already in the game, it makes sense to introduce its counterpart, Zamazenta. While Zacian excels as an All-Rounder with a focus on offense, Zamazenta would shine as a Defender.

Its shield could be its main gimmick, reducing or blocking a percentage of incoming damage based on the Aeos energy it holds at any given moment. This mechanic would make Zamazenta a reliable protector for its team, absorbing damage and providing crucial support in intense battles.

The more Aeos energy Zamazenta holds, the more damage it can mitigate, adding a layer of strategy to its defensive playstyle.

3) Solgaleo and Lunala

Introducing Cosmog and its evolutions, Solgaleo and Lunala, could bring an exciting and unique evolution mechanic to the EX Pokemon category. Solgaleo could serve as an All-Rounder, while Lunala would fit perfectly as an Attacker. Players would need to evolve Cosmog into either Solgaleo or Lunala during the match, similar to the Mewtwo X and Y evolution mechanic.

Solgaleo's signature move, Sunsteel Strike, could scale its damage and AOE or shield gained based on the amount of Aeos energy it holds, while Lunala's Moongeist Beam could increase in damage and range with more Aeos energy.

This evolution mechanic would add a dynamic and strategic element to matches, making these Pokemon highly anticipated additions.

4) Dialga

Dialga, the legendary deity known as the ruler of time, would be a fascinating addition to Pokemon Unite. Its unique ability to control and travel through time could be translated into an interesting time-manipulating Unite Move.

This move could affect a selected area, slowing down opponents' movement speed, attack speed, and projectiles, while having the opposite effect on allies. The effectiveness of these time-based effects could vary based on the amount of Aeos energy Dialga holds, adding a strategic layer to its gameplay.

This time-manipulating mechanic would make Dialga a powerful and intriguing choice for players.

5) Eternatus

Eternatus, with its impressive array of long-range moves, would be an excellent choice for an Attacker role in Pokemon Unite. Just like Mewtwo's Mega Evolution, Eternatus could introduce the Gigantamax mechanic and its effects into the game.

This transformation could be possible when it meets a specific requirement and amount of Aeos energy, changing the appearance, stats, and possibly even the moveset of Eternatus. It would also give the Gigantamax form a huge offensive upgrade, really setting it apart on the battlefield.

Eternatus already has some pretty unique mechanics and powerful abilities, so it would be another prized addition to the game's roster.
