For many players, including me, the aspect or feature of Pokémon Unite that I have chosen to take up for discussion in this post might not matter much, but those who possess the means for it might find it very much useful. Along with the regular shops of Pokémon Unite, which I've discussed oh-so-long ago, Pokémon Unite also has a few other distinct specialty shops, one of them being the Set Shop. Admittedly, this has become a "regular" shop of sorts, but for the most part, it can still be considered "specialty" for what it's worth.
The Set Shop is accessed from the upper-right corner of the main screen, just below the Aeos Gems indicator and access to its shop. Now, it's called the "Set Shop" because its contents are comprised of bundles of items, most often a Unite License and a matching Holowear so one can play with the Pokémon and have something to show off for it. As can be discerned, they're essentially "better together" items, so players get at least some value for them - moreover that they're discounted to an extent. Quite a few are also related to certain Legendary Pokémon, so they're (slightly) useful for those who missed their respective events.
Yet there is a catch, a typical one for the game. The items in the shop are only purchasable by spending Aeos Gems, which means one will have to pay for them with real money by proxy. As such, this is the part that probably won't matter much to many players, as the ones who don't pay for or really ever use Aeos Gems for any purpose. The Unite Licenses might have already been obtained or could be gotten with alternative currencies, so the only sticking point would be the offered Holowear, the only thing that would prompt payment for and spending of Aeos Gems in any case and even outside of this specific shop.
While the Set Shop is a fascinating and useful aspect or feature, its usage of Aeos Gems to purchase its items is certainly a limiter for those who are not concerned with spending this currency (and its real-world money equivalent) and/or just want to keep things free to play. As a "specialty" shop, though, it fills a void for those who do invest in the game and look to get more out of that investment, and there is nothing wrong with that. It may be the start or continuance of that effort for when it matters the most.
