Is Pokemon Unite cross-platform? Pokemon’s number 1 MOBA game has grown in popularity in recent years but can you play with friends? We’ll examine what your Pokemon Unite cross-progression options are too.
While it’s mostly good news, there are a few important things regarding using Aeos Gems to consider. So keep reading to learn all about Pokemon Unite cross-platform gameplay!
We’ve got a guide that gives a detailed answer to the question, ‘What is cross-platform?’ here, but for now it’s enough to know that cross-platform gaming means that you and friends can play the same game regardless of what console, computer or mobile you’re using.
The Borderlands 3 crossplay options provide a good example of this. Here, it doesn’t matter whether you’re using an Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Mac or even Stadia, as you and friends will get pretty much the same gaming experience.
More and more online games are offering crossplay options. With so many different ways to play, excluding fans who play on different platforms isn’t in their best interest.
Good news! You can play Pokemon Unite across all of the game’s available platforms.
This means that you can play either via Nintendo Switch or iOS or Android mobile devices.
As a result, you’ll get full access to the Pokemon Unite tier list and most aspects of the game, regardless of how you choose to play. So you could be playing against friends on Pokemon Unite on a Switch even though they are using an iOS smartphone, and vice versa.
While Pokemon Unite was originally released just for the Switch, the mobile version of the game came just a couple of months later. Thankfully Nintendo understood the appeal of crossplay gaming and made sure that the game could work across platforms. All of this gives you a fun and flexible way to enjoy this awesome MOBA game!

Like all of the best crossplay games, Pokemon Unite makes it refreshingly simple to enjoy the cross-platform gameplay. You don’t have to worry about having any kind of Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Instead you can just sign up for a Nintendo account or even sign up using your Pokemon Trainer Club account. Perfect for some seamless crossplay gaming!
The above accounts also allow you to enjoy all of the Pokemon Unite cross-progression facilities. This means that all of your Pokemon Unite data will be carried across to your device regardless of what platform you are playing from.
As a result, you’ll be able to keep all of the progress made on the Pokemon Unite ranking system. So here you could be playing Pokemon Unite on an iPhone and then change over to play from a Switch without losing any of your data, items or currency.
However, there is one aspect of cross-progression missing here. You cannot transfer Aeos Gems between different platforms. Aeos Gems are the in-game currency you use on Pokemon Unite. As this is based on real money microtransactions, there are complex legal mechanisms stopping this from becoming available between platforms.
