A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 62)

Greetings, Trainers.

We’re the producers of Pokémon Masters EX, Yu Sasaki and Tetsuya Iguchi, here with a new message for you.
Today, we’ll focus on details about events beginning around the end of May and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

App Update for Late May

A New Guest Arrives in the Trainer Lodge

Starting May 30, 2024, you’ll be able to invite Cheren as a Guest to the Trainer Lodge!
To invite Cheren, you’ll need to team up with Cheren & Stoutland first.
You can team up with Cheren & Stoutland by completing Chapter 18 of the Main Story’s PML arc, so be sure to do so if you haven’t yet.
New story content titled Pride of the Myth Seekers will be added to the Mysterious Stones Chapter on May 31, 2024!
You’ll need to have collected a total of 700 Mysterious Stones to unlock this story’s area.
Cynthia starts to feel uneasy as she sees how much the Trainers around her have grown. What does Volo have to say to her?
We hope you look forward to this story!
Note: You can get Mysterious Stones from the Daily Region Rotation and other places, and you also have a rare chance to receive them when completing some battles in the Training Area.

Neo Champions: One More Step to a New Path Is Coming!

Neo Champions: One More Step to a New Path will begin on May 30, 2024!
When Bianca worries that the Virizion she caught isn’t opening up to her, Cheren encourages her to participate in the Neo Champion Stadium.
In the past, they began their journey with the goal of getting stronger. What exactly is the “meaning of strength” that they’ve found?

Cheren and Bianca not only appear in their Champion outfits in this event, but will also debut as Master Sync Pairs!

Cheren (Champion) & Tornadus

Cheren (Champion) & Tornadus are a Flying-type Tech Sync Pair. Their EX Role is Strike.
Their New Teacher’s Quick Wit Passive Skill can increase their Physical Moves ↑ Next and Special Moves ↑ Next effects by one rank when their attack move is successful!
Plus, the more their Physical Moves ↑ Next effect is increased, the more it powers up their Moves and Sync Move.
Their Black Gale Bleakwind Storm Buddy Move can be activated when they use any move one time. It also gets powered up the more their Physical Moves ↑ Next effect is increased, so we recommend using it in tandem with their Bleakwind Storm Move to keep increasing their Physical Moves ↑ Next effect.
Additionally, another Passive Skill of theirs can increase their Physical Moves ↑ Next and Special Moves ↑ Next effects by two ranks after they use their Thoughts of Glory Trainer move or Sync Move.
By teaming up with Cheren (Champion) & Tornadus, you can get a special Friend Snapshot that will be viewable in the Trainer Lodge, so be sure to check it out.

Bianca (Champion) & Virizion

Bianca (Champion) & Virizion are a Fighting-type Strike Sync Pair. Their EX Role is Support.
Their The Will to Protect Passive Skill applies Unova Circle (Defensive) to the allied field of play the first time they enter a battle each battle.
On top of that, their Unova Solidarity Trainer move can also apply Unova Circle (Defensive) to the allied field of play!
One of their Passive Skills applies the Free Move Next effect to themselves when their attack move is successful while Unova Circle (Defensive) is applied to the allied field of play, letting them continuously attack without using the Move Gauge.
Their White Light Sacred Sword Buddy Move lowers the target’s Fighting Type Rebuff by two ranks and also lowers the target’s Attack and Sp. Atk by three stat ranks. Plus, another Passive Skill of theirs lets them attack while ignoring the target’s Passive Skills that would reduce the damage of attacks, Passive Skills that would protect the target against a critical hit, and the target’s Enduring effect, making them a Sync Pair that can excel in a wide variety of battles.

In addition, an Extreme Battle Event is coming, as well as Special Battle Event Take On Cheren and Bianca!, where you’ll be able to battle Cheren and Bianca in their Champion outfits, and Special Event Pasio Special Stadium, which features Cheren as the Champion, so we hope you look forward to these events!

Other Events

Scheduled from early to mid-June is the return of Story Event Galar’s Poké Ball Enthusiast, which stars Ball Guy. A Legendary Gauntlet and an Ultimate Battle will also be featured.

Future Updates

New battle content is currently under development.
The objective of this battle content is to inflict as much damage as possible to the opponent within the time limit.
The grade and rewards you receive at the end of these battles will be determined by how much damage you inflicted, meaning that these are simple battles where all you really have to think about is attacking.
The order in which you attack, strengthen yourself, and weaken the opponent will be vital to dealing more damage.
The battles will switch periodically and feature opponents with a specific weakness each time, so you’ll be able to make use of a variety of different Sync Pairs depending on the timing.
We’re working hard developing this new content, so we hope you look forward to it.

What to Expect in the Next Message

Our next message is scheduled for late June. In it, we plan to share information about new Sync Pairs and events for July.

We’re always working hard to deliver updates and improvements that make the world of Pokémon Masters EX as fun as possible.

We prioritize Trainers’ feedback throughout the development process, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.
Until next time, thank you for playing Pokémon Masters EX.
