Pokémon Masters EX, the 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.

Unlock New Strategies with Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki

Shauna partners with Klefki, the Key Ring Pokémon, as Pasio’s newest support sync pair.

Lear is hosting a mystery game, and Shauna is given the role of detective’s assistant. Together with her new partner, Klefki, they’ll unlock the clues to solving the case. Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki are a Steel-type support sync pair that can defend allies against both status effects and stat reduction when they use their Trainer move, I Think I’ve Got It! This move also raises the critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by two stat ranks.

Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki are available to scout until May 1, 2023, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.

Recommend Pairs to Partner with Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki

Hau & Alolan Raichu

Most strike sync pairs benefit from the critical-hit rate boost Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki can dole out with I Think I’ve Got It! Hau & Alolan Raichu are no exception: the pair can raise their own Sp. Atk and Speed but not their critical-hit rate. Hau & Alolan Raichu also can’t fully max out their Sp. Atk, but Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki might be able to give them that last little boost with Team Stat Steal 9, which can raise one stat of all allies at random. Hau & Alolan Raichu can be obtained after completing Chapter 11 of the main story.

Wikstrom & Aegislash

As Steel-type users from Kalos, Wikstrom and Shauna play off each other perfectly. Wikstrom & Aegislash can either go on the defensive with King’s Shield or step into the fray with En Garde! Since Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki benefit from taking damage thanks to their Retaliatory Stat Steal 9 passive skill, Wikstrom & Aegislash can focus on raising their own Attack and doing damage with Iron Head while Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki buff in the background. Wikstrom & Aegislash’s sync move, Shining Knight Iron Head, also increases in power the more their target’s Attack has been lowered—so use Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki’s Team Stat Steal 9 and Retaliatory Stat Steal 9 to drain that opponent’s Attack. Wikstrom & Aegislash are available to scout from the general pool of 4★ sync pairs.
