Pokémon Masters, the new strategy and battling game for mobile platforms, is now available for download on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). In celebration of the game’s release, special in-game events and rewards are offered for a limited time.

Current Known Issues

We sincerely regret the delay in resolving these issues, and the late announcements and responses through our social channels. We appreciate the comments and reports sent to us, and are currently working on providing fixes to these issues.

*Updates have been made to the fixes regarding the issue where incorrect items were required to upgrade 2★gear. Please see the “Confirmed Issues” below for detailed updates.

We are aware of the following issues in the game.

Confirmed Issues

- (a) The effects of “Dire Hit” and “Dire Hit All” do not match their descriptions.
  *For affected sync pairs currently attainable through Sync Pair Scout
  (5★Brendan & Treecko, 5★Phoebe & Dusclops, 5★Karen & Houndoom, 4★Gardenia & Roserade, 4★Bruno & Machamp, 3★Crasher Wake & Floatzel, 3★Janine & Ariados)
  “Dire Hit” has been changed to “Dire Hit +” and “Dire Hit All” has been changed to “Dire Hit All +” so that their moves match the current descriptions of “Sharply” raising critical-hit rates.
  For affected sync pairs attainable through the Main Story
  (3★Korrina & Lucario, 3★Pryce & Seel, 4★Flint & Infernape)

  (Updated: 9/12 at 9:00 p.m.)
- (b) Incorrect items were required to upgrade 2★gears.
  All 2★gear types listed below incorrectly required “2★Upgrade Threads” to upgrade. The correct items required to upgrade each gear are as follows:
  – Bandanna→2★Upgrade Scissors
  – Pin→2★Upgrade Needles
  – Bracelet→2★Upgrade Threads
  *This issue has been resolved and the correct gear upgrade items are now required to upgrade the gears listed above.
  In addition, we have also added the option to exchange “1★Upgrade Scissors” and “1★Upgrade Needles” to “1★Upgrade Threads”, and the option to exchange “2★Upgrade Scissors” and “2★Upgrade Needles” to “2★Upgrade Threads” to the general item exchange screen, for a limited time.
  *These exchanges are available between: 9/19 at 3:30 a.m. – 10/19 at 1:59 a.m.
  (Updated: 9/19 at 4:00 a.m.)

We recognize that the issues (a) and (b) listed above have great impact on the overall balance of the game. As a token of appreciation for your patience, we have sent 6,000 non-paid Gems to all players. Please collect these from your Present Box before they expire.
*Gems can be collected between 9/12 at 8:30 p.m. – 10/12 at 6:59 a.m.

Please accept this announcement as our reply to any inquiries sent regarding these issues.
