Playing Pokemon UNITE with Nintendo Online has been a popular topic among fans recently. With its four dollar monthly subscription and many players using it for other various video games, it's unclear if Pokemon fans will have to sign up for it.

Fortunately, Pokemon UNITE players don't have to sign up for Nintendo Switch Online. The game is also free-to-play, but users also have access to in-game purchases.

Pokemon UNITE's microtransactions also lets players unlock battle passes, which lead to access in skins, cosmetic upgrades, and in-game currency. The game's cross-progression also lets players utilize their cosmetic upgrades in both the Nintendo Switch and on their mobile devices.
