A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 88)

Greetings, Trainers.

I’m Tetsuya Iguchi, producer of Pokémon Masters EX, here with a new message for you.
Today, we’ll focus on details about events beginning in April and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Arceus Arc Chapter 9 Added!

Chapter 9 of the Arceus Arc will be added on March 31, 2026!
Korrina and Sabrina have a heated battle in the finals of the second Arceus Cup’s Gym Leader Tournament.

Updated on the First of Every Month! About the Pokémon 30-Year Celebration Special Rally

2026 marks 30 years since the release of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green. In honor of the occasion, Pokémon Masters EX is bringing you a special Rally that will take place for one year.
You can get the artwork created for a special concept video released in Japan last September as a Scrapbook Photo, and you can also team up with Sync Pairs that include Trainers who are in the artwork, so be sure to check it out.
Please note that the Sync Pairs you can team up with may feature different Trainer–Pokémon combinations than the ones featured in the artwork.
Note: This rally is refreshed at 06:00 UTC on the 1st of every month. Please note that this date and time are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so the exact date and time for your region may vary.

Pokémon 30-Year Celebration Special Mission and Log-in Bonus

On the 1st of each month from April to December, there will be Missions where you can team up with a Sync Pair that includes a Trainer who appeared in the special concept video for the Six-Year Anniversary, as well as the items needed to raise them to 6★ EX and unlock their EX Role!
The Missions starting on March 31, 2026 let you team up with Arven & Mabosstiff, so take advantage of this opportunity if you haven’t teamed up with them or upgraded them yet!

There will also be a Log-in Bonus where you can get 1,000 Gems, so be sure to grab them all!

Please note that the Missions and Log-in Bonuses that begin each month will be available for one month only.

The returning event this time is Story Event Peculiar Pokémon-Loving Pal, which depicts Arven and N meeting each other.
