Purchase Aeos gems if you want to quickly unlock Pokémon Unite content or gain access to extra content only accessible by using Aeos gems.

You do not have to purchase Aeos gems to obtain most in-game items.

You can play one hundred hours of Pokémon Unite and not buy one Aeos gem.

You should avoid purchasing certain things in Pokémon Unite with your Aeos gems.

Avoid purchasing Pokémon, items, Trainer clothing, and extra Battle Pass levels.

I suggest playing the game and having fun while you obtain these naturally over the course of your play sessions.

Aeos gems cannot be earned for free as of Pokémon Unite’s first Season.

Aeos gems must be purchased, and doing so is pretty easy once you know how it’s done.
