Get Fired Up with Kiawe & Arcanine in Pokémon Masters EX

Weaken opponents with this Fire-type sync pair whose red-hot passive skills can reduce the Sp. Atk and Sp. Def of all their opponents.

The battle-blazing Trial Captain of Akala Island’s Wela Volcano Park returns with an iconic Fire-type partner originally from the Kanto region. Kiawe & Arcanine are a Fire-type tech sync pair that can lower the Sp. Atk of burned opponents with their Hit Burned Opp: Sp. Atk ↓9 passive skill and lower the Sp. Def of trapped opponents with Hit Trapped Opp: Sp. Def ↓9. With Kiawe & Arcanine’s handy Extend Range passive skill, you can burn and trap all opposing sync pairs and reduce their Sp. Atk and Sp. Def with searing speed.

Kiawe & Arcanine are available to scout until August 3, 2023, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.

Recommended Sync Pairs to Partner with Kiawe & Arcanine

Kiawe & Marowak

Double the fiery spirit on your team by adding Kiawe & Marowak to the mix! Kiawe & Arcanine shine when supporting damage-dealing sync pairs, but their own Dancing Together Inferno Overdrive can always use some buffs! Kiawe & Marowak’s Dancing Fever! can raise Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Atk and critical-hit rate by one stat rank each time it’s used. So two uses of Dancing Fever! combined with Kiawe & Arcanine’s Come On By! will fully raise Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Atk by six stat ranks in total. Kiawe & Marowak are available to scout from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs, as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Alola Ticket Scout.
Silver & Ho-Oh

This Fire-type strike sync pair is a powerful damage dealer that can choose to focus on doling out either physical damage or special damage. When teamed up with Kiawe & Arcanine, Silver & Ho-Oh’s Overheat and Solar Beam benefit from Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Def–dropping passive skill. However, Silver & Ho-Oh’s sync move, Power-Hungry Sacred Fire, does physical damage, so use Kiawe & Arcanine’s Dancing Together Inferno Overdrive to truly maximize an opponent’s minimized Sp. Def—toss in a use of Come On By! to really heat this strategy up. Silver & Ho-Oh can be obtained after completing Pure Hearts and Rainbow Wings in the Legendary Adventures portion of the main story.
