Pokémon Unite - December Update
Please see the details below regarding exchanging previously earned Aeos coins for license points.
Exchange Rate
10 Aeos coins → 1 license point
Points Required to Obtain a License
In License Journeys, the number of license points required to obtain a Pokémon’s Unite license will vary per license.
License points required: 325–1,960
Usage Tips
Obtaining a license at the shop
If you would like a specific Unite license, we recommend obtaining it via Aeos coins at the shop before the maintenance starts at 3:00 UTC on December 4, 2025.
After the update, you will no longer be able to obtain Unite licenses via Aeos coins.
Exchanging Aeos coins at the Aeos Coin Exchange after December 4, 2025
After December 4, 2025, you’ll be able to use the Aeos Coin Exchange to exchange previously earned Aeos coins for license points, which can be used in License Journeys.
Besides license points, we also plan to make other items—such as fashion items, Holowear, and more—available at the Aeos Coin Exchange in exchange for Aeos coins.
The December game updates will also include a new Ranking System, updates to the Theia Sky Ruins battle map, improvements to the main menu and changes to Exp. Point distribution. Planned future improvements have been outlined as well. You can find out more on the official Pokémon website.
You can read the original announcement about the discontinuation of Aeos Coins and introduction of License Journeys in our story below.
Original Story: The free-to-play MOBA Pokémon Unite has experienced all sorts of updates since arriving on the Switch eShop and mobile devices in 2021, but this latest announcement appears to have a lot of the community talking about the title's future.
In an in-game notification, it's been revealed as of 4th December 2025, Aeos coins will no longer be distributed. Nintendo Life can confirm the following in-game message. Here's the part of this notice focused on Aeos coins:
As of December 4, 2025, Aeos coins will no longer be distributed, and the Unite Battle Comittee will no longer offer Unite licenses in exchange for Aeos coins. If you would like to obtain Unite licenses via Aeos coins, please do so by that date.
Aeos coin boost cards will become unusable starting December 4, 2025. We plan to allow remaining ones to be exchangeable for Aeos coins. This will be implemented at a later date.
After December 4, 2025, the Unite Battle Committee will, however, continue to offer Unite licenses in exchange for Aeos gems.
Aeos Coin Exchange
An Aeos Coin Exchange will become available December 4, 2025. Here, players will be able to exchange previously earned Aeos coins for license points or various items.
Aeos coins and the Aeos Coin Exchange will remain in-game until May 2026.
This discontinuation of Aeos coins will take place alongside the introduction of License Journeys on the same date (4th December 2025). These will give players a new way to obtain Licenses in Unite by playing the game and accumulating License points. These can be obtained as battle pass rewards, from random boxes, or as rewards from future events. Here's a bit more about this new feature:
"Typically, each time the player selects a Unite license to work toward, they'll choose from five available licenses. However, there will also be times players can choose from all the Unite licenses in the game. Unite licenses for newly released Pokémon may also become available via License Journeys at the same time they're released in the shop."
2025 marks the fourth anniversary of Pokémon Unite. Over the years it's been expanded with new playable Pokémon, maps, modes, and is also playable on the Switch 2.
