Pokémon Masters EX, the strategy and battling Pokémon game for mobile platforms, is now available for download on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). In celebration of the game’s popularity, special in-game events and rewards are being offered for all players to take part in on a regular basis.

Celebrate Pokémon Masters EX’s Five-Year Anniversary

Cynthia, Steven, and Lance return with their iconic Pokémon partners, and a slew of special log-in and event bonuses begin.

It’s been five years since we first beheld the power of sync stones and joined forces with iconic Trainers for a new saga of battling in Pokémon Masters EX. To celebrate this milestone, Players can get 10-Pair Scout Tickets and gems, team up with Lillie (Anniversary 2024) & Solgaleo, dive into the new Arceus arc, and look forward to the debut of brand-new arc suit sync pairs. There’s never been a better time to visit Pasio, so why not check out all that’s in store for Pokémon Masters EX’s anniversary?

New Sync Pairs

Three iconic Champions return alongside their powerhouse Pokémon! Cynthia, Steven, and Lance are not only paired with their ace Pokémon but also donning fancy new threads blessed by Arceus itself. Look forward to teaming up with Arc Suit Cynthia & Garchomp starting August 27, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT, Arc Suit Steven & Metagross starting August 29, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT, and Arc Suit Lance & Dragonite starting August 31, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT. All these sync pairs will vacate their respective Arc Suit Fair Scouts on October 6, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT.

Each arc suit sync pair is remarkably similar to their debut incarnation but features new moves and passive skills that really push their power to the next level. For example, Arc Suit Cynthia & Garchomp have the Ground Judgment arc suit passive skill, which raises the Ground Type Rebuff of all allied sync pairs and lowers the Ground Type Rebuff of all opposing sync pairs.

Arc Suit Steven & Metagross and Arc Suit Lance & Dragonite have similar passive skills—Steel Judgment and Dragon Judgment respectively—which have the same effect as Cynthia’s arc suit passive skill, but for Steel and Dragon types. Each sync pair is incredibly strong on their own, but they’ll be a great addition to any team that can take advantage of their unique arc suit passive skills.

10-Pair Scout Tickets and Log-In Bonuses

Trainers can receive 10-Pair Scout Tickets from now until September 21, 2024, at 10:59 p.m. PDT. Log in each day for ten days before September 21 to receive ten 10-Pair Scout Tickets—that’s a potential to team up with up to 100 sync pairs at no cost! These tickets can only be used in the 10-Pair Scout.

Like gems? You can also get 3,000 gems to celebrate the beginning of the Arceus arc and the debut of arc suit sync pairs by logging in anytime from August 27, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT to October 1, 2024, at 10:59 p.m. PDT. That’s enough for an ×11 scout, so don’t miss this sweet little anniversary treat.

Team Up with Lillie (Anniversary 2024) & Solgaleo

Speaking of iconic Trainers and their Pokémon, you’ll be able to team up with Lillie (Anniversary 2024) & Solgaleo by completing the in-game Festive Sun and Moon event. This Steel-type sprint sync pair will come with their sync grid expanded, the ability to be raised to 6★ EX, and an EX role available to unlock. Their buddy move, All-Out Sunsteel Strike, ignores a variety of enemy effects and even sets a Steel Zone—a perfect boon for all your Steel-type sync pairs—so push the pedal to metal and team up with Lillie while you still can!

As part of Lillie (Anniversary 2024) & Solgaleo’s event-exclusive debut, you can earn up to 20 Custom ★ Power Ups for Lillie (Anniversary 2024) & Solgaleo by logging in each day for ten days total from August 27, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT to October 1, 2024, at 10:59 p.m. PDT. That’s enough Custom ★ Power Ups to get them on the path to 6★ EX!

The Arceus Arc Begins

The villain arc ended last anniversary after over two years of nefarious scheming by Team Rocket’s Giovanni. Now you’ll be able to enjoy a new main story arc that picks up where the Mysterious Stones chapter left off. Uncover new mysteries and witness the unique power of arc suit sync pairs on Pasio in the Arceus arc!
