The new Attacker Pokémon, Zapdos is now available in Pokémon Unite.

In this article, we’ll walk you through this exciting event and how to get Zapdos’ Unite License for free.
How to get Zapdos’ Unite License from the Zapdos Research Event
To get Zapdos’ exclusive Unite License, you’d have to navigate to the Zapdos’ Research event. In this event, you will be conducting research to name and identify Zapdos’ body parts. On completing each study, you will be rewarded with Research Coins. These coins can be used to redeem Zapdos’ Unite License and other exclusive rewards.
The following are some tips to note while participating in the Mega Charizard X Research Event.
- During the event, you can log in daily and clear missions to get Theses. Use these to increase the Research Gauge by 8%, 10%, 12%, or 16%. All values have an equal drop chance of 25%.
- The next research will be unlocked once the Research Gauge reaches 100%.
- If you can’t wait to clear each research task and mission, you can instantly clear them with Aeos Gems. Spending 5 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Daily missions, spending 10 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Weekly missions, and spending 5 Aeos Gems will instantly clear Special missions.

- You will obtain research coins as the Research Gauge fills, which you can use to redeem Zapdos’ Unite license.
- There are 8 Research levels in this event. On completing one, you will instantly proceed to the next level.
