A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 89)

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 May and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Story Event League Club Problem Child Is Coming

Story Event League Club Problem Child begins on April 28, 2026!

There’s still some lingering resentment between Kieran and Drayton, who has come to Pasio.
Juliana and friends come up with a plan to patch their relationship!

In addition to appearing in the story, Drayton & Archaludon will arrive in the Sync Pair Scout as an EX Fair–Exclusive Sync Pair, and Sygna Suit Kieran & Furret arrive as an EX Master Sync Pair.
We hope you look forward to it!
