A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 96)

Greetings, Trainers.
I’m Tetsuya Iguchi, general 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 October and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Arceus Arc Chapter 11 Added!

Arceus Arc Chapter 11 will be added on October 29, 2026.
Hau and Gladion are defeated in an all-out battle against Elio, Selene, and Lillie, who has grown so strong.
Faced with the growth of his younger sister, whom he once felt the need to protect, Gladion struggles with the question of why he seeks strength.
Hau suggests to Gladion that they go search for the “meaning of strength” together.

To go along with the Main Story’s update, the Arceus Arc Celebration Special Battle Event will be available as well, so we hope you enjoy it!
