Zeraora (Japanese: ゼラオラ Zeraora) is a playable Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE. It was available as part of the base game when it released on July 21, 2021.

It is a Speedster that focuses on outlasting its targets, through outmaneuvering and paralysis.

Zeraora's Unite License is the only one that cannot be purchased from the Unite Battle Committee in any capacity. Instead, it was initially available as part of a early download bonus for early adopters of Pokémon UNITE. The promotion lasted until August 31, 2021, and the item was delivered through the in game mail system. For anyone who missed out on the event, a Zeraora Mission event was released later on. This event runs indefinitely, and rewards the Unite License: Zeraora at the end. The mission is still available for players who already own Zeraora's Unite License, but it rewards Aeos coins in place of a duplicate license.
