Greetings, Trainers.

Today, we’ll focus on details about events beginning around the end of September and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Four Treasures of Ruin are coming to Pasio!

Story Event: Treasures of Ruin—Ghetsis begins on September 29, 2026.

Updates Scheduled for This Month

Daily Missions Update

On September 29, 2026, we’re updating the daily missions to make them more accessible, and to add a touch of excitement every day as you test your luck.
Some missions will now be selected at random each day, and the number of mission completions required to earn the rewards will be lower than before.
Plus, the Surprise Box you can get as a completion reward grants a random prize when opened. If you’re super lucky, you might even get any kind of Roll Cake Coin, any kind of Move Candy Coin, or a Fair-Guaranteed Scout Ticket!
Even if you don’t obtain the reward, the number of rewards you receive will not be lower than normal.
We hope you’ll try your luck every day and enjoy these missions.

Updates to Future Seasonal Events

We are planning minor adjustments for upcoming seasonal events to make it easier to obtain past Seasonal Sync Pairs.

  • For each seasonal event, you will be able to obtain one Scout Ticket as a Mission reward, which can be used in the Seasonal Exclusive Guaranteed Ticket Scout.

This Scout features a lineup of Seasonal Sync Pairs that originally debuted in events for the corresponding season four or more years ago, and it guarantees that you can team up with one of them.
Please note that the acquisition method and lineup differ from the Seasonal Exclusive Gtd. Ticket that was available previously.

  • We’re adjusting the format of rerun Scouts.

Previously, we’ve held two types of Scouts that featured lineups of all past Seasonal Sync Pairs that appeared in events for the same season.
Moving forward, we plan to have one Scout for Sync Pairs that debuted approximately within the past three years, and one for those that debuted four or more years ago.
For the Scout that features past Seasonal Sync Pairs that debuted within the last three years, we’re increasing the rates for each featured Sync Pair and adjusting the required number of Scout Points to 300.
For the Scout that features past Seasonal Sync Pairs that arrived four or more years ago, you’ll be able to use it for 3,000 non-paid Gems up to three times, and after using it, you’ll be able to select a featured Sync Pair.

Please check the next seasonal event for details.

Monthly BP Challenge Update

The Monthly BP Challenge is now available starting with this update!
This challenge allows you to collect Battle Points each month and earn various rewards based on your total, such as new Sync Pairs that will be updated monthly.
Please note that when the rewards are swapped, your Battle Points will also reset.

The Sync Pair you can team up with this time is Lyra (Special Costume) & Marill!
You can also earn Custom Move Candies and Custom ★ Power-Ups for Lyra (Special Costume) & Marill, so we hope you’ll give it a try.

In addition, you can get each kind of Move Candy Coin from the exchange, as well as Monthly BP Challenge Vouchers, which you can exchange for BP Sync Pair Super Vouchers , so be sure to check in-game for more information.

Please note this Monthly BP Challenge’s duration differs from the regular schedule.

Beginners & Returning Players Champion Challenge

The Beginners & Returning Players 6★ EX Training Mission—part of the Beginners & Returning Players Champion Challenge—will begin on September 30, 2026.
