A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 92)

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 around the end of July and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Academy Event Pasio Festival of Masks Is Coming

Academy Event Pasio Festival of Masks begins on July 30, 2026!

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 Missions 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, as well as obtain the items needed to raise them to 6★ EX and unlock their EX Role!

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