Gears in Pokémon Masters EX

A gear (Japanese: 装備 Gear) is an item in Pokémon Masters EX that can be equipped to a player's team to boost the stats of sync pairs. 1★ and 2★ gear can be obtained by completing Main Story Co-op battles (Very Hard and Super Hard modes) and EX Challenges in the EX Plaza. A specific gear is guaranteed as a first-time reward with these stages, and can thereafter be obtained as random battle rewards after repeating these stages. 3★ gear can be obtained through gear events or by exchanging items in the Shop.

To unlock gears, the player must first complete Chapter 18: Team Unova in both Single and Co-op (Hard) mode to unlock the Get Stronger with Gear! battle. After completing all these, Professor Bellis will reward the player with a 1★ Electric Bracelet.

Mechanics

Gears come in three forms:

  • Bracelets, which raise Attack (3★ Bracelets also raise Defense)
  • Bandannas, which raise Special Attack (3★ Bandannas also raise Sp. Def)
  • Pins, which raise HP (3★ Pins also raise Speed)

Only one of each category of gear can be equipped to a team at a time.

Type and stat boost

Each piece of gear has an associated type. Sync pairs that possess the matching theme skill for that type will receive the full stat boosts of the gear, while sync pairs that do not possess it receive only half of the gear's stat boosts, rounded down to the nearest integer.

A sync pair's theme skill usually corresponds with the type of the pair's sync move, but in cases where sync pairs can change the type of their sync move mid-battle (example: Gladion & Silvally), the theme skill corresponds to the sync move's default typing.

  • In this example, Gladion & Silvally would receive the full stat boost from Normal-type gear, even if they change their sync move type mid-battle.

Defense - - +6 - - +20
Sp. Atk +6 +12 +32 +20 +40 +60
Sp. Def - - +6 - - +20
Speed - - +6 - - +20

Upgrading gear

A gear's level can be upgraded, to increase the stat boost that the gear provides.

  • Increasing the level of a 1★ gear raises its stat boost by 1.
  • Increasing the level of a 2★ gear raises its stat boost by 2.
  • Increasing the level of a 3★ gear raises its primary stat boost by 2 and its secondary stat boost by 1.

Initially, the gear level is capped at Lv. 3, but the level cap can be unlocked by exchanging duplicate copies of the same gear. Up to four gears can be exchanged to increase the level cap to Lv. 15.

1★ and 2★ gears are upgraded using Cloths of the respective type, as well as with Upgrade Threads, Scissors, and Needles which are used to upgrade Bracelets, Bandannas, and Pins respectively.

3★ gears do not use Cloths, and instead use Type-specific Threads, Scissors, and Needles.

Exchanging gear

Unwanted gear can be exchanged at the shop, in return for Coins and Type-specific Thread / Scissors / Needle materials. Notably, this is the only way to obtain the latter, which are required for upgrading 3★ gear.

The Type and categories of materials obtained will match the Type and category of the gear piece sold.

  • For example: selling a Psychic Bandanna will yield Psychic Scissors.

The amount of Coins and materials received depends on the rarity of the gear sold, the gear's current level, and how many times the gear's level cap has been raised.

  • Each gear effectively has a "base value" when sold at Lv. 1 with no upgrades and no level cap increases.
  • For each time the gear's level has been raised (not counting Lv. 1), add the base value's Coins, and add 50% of the base value's materials.
  • For each time the gear's level cap has been raised, do not add the base value's Coins, but add 100% of the base value's materials.

Special gears

Special gears have been made available during certain events. These grant different stat bonuses than the standard gear of the same type and level, but their upgrade requirements are the same. As with standard gears, the stat bonuses are halved for sync pairs that do not match the gear type.

  • 1★ and 2★ items can drop directly from these battles
  • The type-based items (essentially 3★ items) cannot drop from any battles, and can only be obtained by exchanging unwanted gear in the shop.
