A sync pair is a pair consisting of one [[Pokémon Trainer]] and one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.  
A sync pair is a pair consisting of one [[Pokémon Trainer]] and one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each sync pair is able to know up to four [[List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX|moves]] which can be used in {{pkmn|battle}}. Sync pairs also have [[passive skill]]s that grant passive effects in battle, similar to {{Abilities}}. There are five types of sync pairs:


Each sync pair is able to know up to four [[List of moves in Pokémon Masters|moves]] and up to three [[passive skill]]s which can be used in battle. There are three types of sync pairs:
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]] [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''' sync pairs, which are focused on attacking.
* Strike sync pairs, which focus on attacking
* [[File:Masters Support.png|32px|link=]] '''Support''' sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing {{stat|HP}}, and increasing stats of the whole team.

===Battle mechanics===
===Battle mechanics===
[[File:Battle Masters.png|thumb|150px|A battle in Pokémon Masters]]
{{main|Pokémon battle (Masters)}}
Battles in Pokémon Masters are primarily three-on-three battles. Unlike the main games, they take place in real-time instead of being turn-based. As a result, the outcome can be largely affected by how fast a Trainer can issue its commands to their team.
[[File:Battle Masters.png|thumb|150px|A battle in Pokémon Masters EX]]
Battles in Pokémon Masters EX are primarily three-on-three battles. Unlike in the core series games, they take place in real-time instead of being turn-based. During battle, the player is able to choose up to one action for each allied sync pair at a time. Some actions require a number of move gauge slots to be used and become highlighted whenever the appropriate number of slots in the move gauge are full. The speed at which the gauge fills up depends on sum of the {{DL|Stat|Speed}} stats of the sync pairs in the player's team. During battle, the player can freely choose which opponent each ally can target at any time. The opposing side will target whichever sync pair the player chooses as the primary target, as assigned in the Tactics menu.


Before a battle, a team of three sync pairs can be created or chosen through preset teams. A score is given for each team's strength, which can be compared to the battle's score; the higher a sync pair's level is, the higher the score will be. Each battle will indicate a recommended type that is super effective against the sync pairs in the upcoming battle, and choosing a trainer with a type advantage will further increase the team strength score.
Players can also team up with up to two other players in co-op battles. Each player brings a team of up to three sync pairs, but only has one sync pair out on the field at a time; players are able to switch between their sync pairs, although switching takes one turn. Each player's team has their own move gauge with which to act and using certain moves will fill the unity gauge, which unleashes a special '''unity attack''' when filled.


During battle, the player is able to select moves. Each move uses up a certain amount of energy from the move gauge. The more damaging a move is, the more energy is used up from the move gauge. The gauge initially maxes out at 4 units, but this can be increased to 6 by purchasing additional move gauge slots at the shop. The speed at which the gauge fills up depends on sum of the Speed stat of the sync pairs in the player's team. The player is also able to choose the opponent to be targeted. The default target is the sync pair in the center; however, the target can be changed by tapping on the sync pair the player wants to target.  
The battle is won when all sync pairs on a team have been eliminated. If the player wins, the sync pairs will gain experience and obtain items as rewards. If the opposing side wins, the player will be given the option to retry the battle.


The opponent will always first target the sync pair with the highest bulk, and will continue to do so until the player distracts them or the sync pair's Pokémon faints.
====Moves====
{{main|List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX}}
As a sync pair, both the Pokémon and Trainer can use moves in a battle. Moves used by Pokémon function in the same way as they do in the core series games, retaining the same [[type]], [[damage category]], and properties under normal circumstances. [[Buddy move]]s are a special variant of Pokémon moves unique to sync pairs and can only be selected when certain battle conditions are met. Trainers can use non-damaging moves that influence the field in different ways; some Trainer moves are based on [[item]]s that can be used during battle, and others are unique to the Trainer that influence the allied field of play. Certain moves have a set number of move points (MP) that limit how many times it can be selected in battle, similar to [[PP]] in other games.


[[Sync move]]s are powerful moves that a sync pair can unleash once the sync move countdown reaches 0. The player's countdown begins at 9, while the opponent's countdown starts at 6. When a move is used, the countdown goes down by one. Once a sync move is used, the countdown resets to the original maximum value.

The battle is won when all sync pairs on a team have been eliminated. If the player wins, the sync pairs will gain experience and obtain items as rewards. If the player loses, they are sent back to the Pokémon Center.
===Items===
{{main|List of items in Pokémon Masters EX}}
There are many items in Pokémon Masters EX with varied uses. They are often obtained as battle rewards or through item exchange at the shop.


Beside the real time mechanics, the battle system borrows the core mechanics from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, with various differences:
====Coins====
* {{DL|Status condition|Flinch}} is now a status condition that makes the Pokémon in the pair unable to perform any move for a few seconds instead of just one move. While flinching, the move gauge also fills more slowly. To get out of the condition, the pair can use a sync move, switch out or wait a few seconds
Coins are the main currency in Pokémon Masters EX. These can be obtained as rewards from battles, by exchanging {{mas|gear}}s, and are also obtained when event items expire. Coins are used to exchange for items at the shop and to upgrade gear.
* [[Statistic#Stage multipliers|Stage multipliers for statistics]] no longer work with a base fraction of 2/2, resulting in a +6 multiplier which is around 1.8
* The [[Critical hit#Probability 2|critical hit stage]] is now capped at 3 and the critical hit rate for the +1 and +2 stages is 50% and 80% respectively
* Using a sync move increases the stage multiplier of a new effect, whose actual influence on the stats is currently not specified


Each sync pair can also know up to three [[passive skill]]s. Similar to {{Abilities}}, these provide passive effects in battle, such as preventing stats from being lowered.
====Gems====
{{main|Gem (Masters)}}
Gems are the premium currency. They can be obtained as first-time battle rewards. They are often also made available through special log-in bonuses and event missions or mission bingos. Gems are used for [[sync pair]] scouting.


====Co-op battle mechanics====
===Stamina===
[[File:Masters Unity Attack.png|250px|thumb|An Electric-type Unity Attack]]
{{main|Stamina (Masters)}}
To unlock co-op mode, players must complete "Co-op Pokémon Battles!" and "Co-op Unity Attacks!" tutorials in the [[training area]]. These tutorials become available after the player clears Interlude 1: Brock's Grit.  
Stamina is a mechanic for certain battles which limits how much they can be played in a day. It recharges on its own at a rate 1 stamina every 4 minutes, but can also be manually refilled through Stamina Refill items. Spending stamina raises Player Rank by an equivalent amount.


In co-op battles, three Trainers team up to battle the opponent. Each Trainer brings a team of three Pokémon but only has one Pokémon out on the field at one time, with each Trainer's Pokémon having their own move gauge. Each Trainer is able to switch between their Pokémon, although switching takes one turn. Once the player completes the "Switch-In Moves!" tutorial in the training area, the player will be able to choose a move during the same turn as switching. Switching has the same effect it has in the core series, in that all the alterations to statistics are reset and passive skills that are triggered at the beginning of the battle, such as Endure and Terrify, are triggered when the Pokémon is switched in.
===Missions===
{{main|Mission (Masters)}}
Missions are specific goals for the player to achieve in the game. The player is rewarded with special items such as Gems when the mission is completed. There are three types of missions: Daily, General, and Event missions.


'''Unity attacks''' are moves unique to co-op battles. These are powerful attacks that are unleashed by all three allied sync pairs combined and target all opponents. To use a unity attack, the team must fill the unity gauge. The unity gauge is filled by using moves in specific ways. When the Pokémon of two different players attack before an opponent's offensive  move, a chain is created that will last until the opponent attacks the team. Any Pokémon moves (not Trainer moves) used during a chain will fill the unity gauge equal to the number of move gauge slots required to use the move. Critical hits will fill the unity gauge by an extra +1. If the Pokémon of all the three players manage to attack before the opponent attacks, the team will obtain a unity bonus for a short period of time. When the unity bonus is in effect, the attacks of the opponents won’t stop the chain  and moves will do more damage to opponents. The duration of the bonus can be increased by using super effective moves. Once the unity gauge is charged, the team will unleash a unity attack. The move's type is a combination of all allied sync pair's types. Each player can choose one of their sync pairs to partake in the unity attack and to be used on the field afterwards, allowing the player to choose a type that would be advantageous against the opponent. Choosing a different Pokémon from the currently active one is considered a switch, resetting the alterations to statistics. Furthermore, during the attack animation it is possible to choose an action (either a move, a switch or a switch-in move) that will be performed immediately after the attack, before the opponent’s move.
{{DL|Mission (Masters)|Mission Bingo}} was introduced in version 1.5.0. These are special missions in a 3×3 bingo format, with each mission representing one tile of the bingo. When the mission is fulfilled, the player will obtain the reward for that mission tile. In addition, if a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of missions is completed, the player will receive extra rewards. Once all tiles are filled, then there will be a "Blackout!" and the player will be given a special bingo reward.

====Shop====
====Shop====
=====Sync Pair Scout=====
{{main|Shop (Masters)}}
:''See also: {{DL|Sync pair|Sync pair scout}}''
Players can perform a variety of exchanges using currency such as coins or Gems at the shop run by [[Tricia]]. In-game microtransactions with real-world currency to purchase Gems or other items can also be performed at the shop.
Players can recruit sync pairs that are not available through the main story through Sync Pair Scout. It costs 300 gems (or 100 paid gems) to scout one sync pair, which is chosen randomly from a pool of sync pairs. There is a 73% chance of obtaining a 3★ sync pair, 20% chance of a 4★ sync pair, and 7% chance of a 5★ sync pair. If the background turns rainbow during the scouting process, then this guarantees the player at least one 5★ scout.


=====Item Exchange=====
The shop also includes the [[sync pair scout]], where players can recruit sync pairs that are not available through the main story. It costs 300 Gems (or 100 paid Gems) to scout one sync pair, which is chosen randomly from a pool of sync pairs. There is a 73% chance of obtaining a 3★ sync pair (70% during Poké Fair scouts), 20% chance of a 4★ sync pair, and 7% chance of a 5★ sync pair (10% during Poké Fair scouts, and 12% during Master Fair scouts). If rainbow sparks appear when the Pokémon Center doors open at the end of the scouting animation, at least one 5★ sync pair is guaranteed to be scouted. Players can also use the [[ticket scout]] to scout for sync pairs using ticket items instead of directly using Gems.
Players can exchange coins or [[List of items in Pokémon Masters|items]] for other items.

===Events===
===Villain Arc===
There are three main types of events:
{{main|Villain Arc}}
* Story event - involves a single player story structured like the chapters of Story mode
The Villain Arc continues the story after the completion of the PML Arc, following [[Team Rocket]] beginning operation on Pasio and seeking out their rival organization, [[Team Plasma]]. When {{mas|Giovanni}} watches the Trainers from [[Sinnoh]] intervene with the plans of his silent allies, {{mas|Cyrus}} and [[Team Galactic]], he decides to call his {{tc|Executive}}s to preparing the revival. After failing to take over [[Pasio]], they focus their efforts on manipulating [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Later, Team Rocket infiltrates [[Team Flare]] and the [[Aether Foundation]] to steal data in preparation for their next plan. A faction of the Aether Foundation allies itself with Team Rocket to summon [[Ultra Beast]]s to Pasio, but they're eventually stopped. Finally, {{mas|Rose}} forms an alliance with Giovanni in an attempt take over the management of [[sync stone]]s, dividing the people of Pasio into Rose supporters and [[Lear]] supporters.
* Training event - single player battles that provide increased experience points to the sync pairs whose type matches the type of the training events
* Legendary event - a special event that focuses on a sync pair with a Legendary Pokémon
Both these events include co-op battles that reward the player with [[List of items in Pokémon Masters|vouchers]] that can be exchanged for items at the shop. The items of story events are generally rarer, such as power-up items.


There are also other events that do not provide new battles or storyline, but give smaller amount of extra content, such as special log-in bonuses or special mission rewards.
Meanwhile, [[Paulo]] continues his ongoing quest for strength and reunites with his friend [[Tina]]. When {{mas|Ghetsis}} tricks him into bringing {{p|Hoopa}} to him and seemingly kills Paulo's {{p|Rockruff}}, Paulo finally snaps and declares he'll use Hoopa's {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} power to become "the last evil" and wipe out all organizations with potential for evil. For this purpose, he takes over [[Team Break]] and provides them with powerful Pokémon. However, this effort backfires during his confrontation with Team Rocket, during which Giovanni takes control of Hoopa from him and starts using its powers to benefit Team Rocket instead.


All events are started and ended at 6 AM (UTC).
The story consists of chapters sorted by [[region]]. All chapters are unlocked after the player completes the PML Arc and can be played in any order. The chapters are listed in region order rather than chronological order. New chapters are occasionally released with updates.

The Arceus Arc continues the story following the end of the Villain Arc. It was preceded by the Prelude chapter called the [[Mysterious Stones Chapter]], which was released as monthly parts starting from November 1, 2023 until August 1, 2024. It centers around the mysterious stones, later dubbed [[Sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], which have started to appear on Pasio and appear to bear a connection with the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{ga|Arceus}}. Making his first appearance in this arc is the merchant {{mas|Volo}}, whom {{mas|Rei}} has history with and who desires to meet the deified Pokémon.
| September 3 to 30, 2019
 
|- style="background:#fff"
When Arceus's voice speaks to the entire Pasio, telling everyone to show it their bond with their Pokémon, Lear organizes a tournament called the Arceus Cup, where the goal is to gain Arceus's approval. It is during this tournament that the power of the sync stones ultimate is fully manifested for the first time in the form of [[arc suit]]s, special costumes bestowed upon those blessed by Arceus, and more powerful [[sync move]]s called {{DL|Sync move|divine moves}}.

====Special Co-op Battle!====
{{main|Special Co-op Battle!}}
A Special Co-op Battle! is a type of special event that celebrates the game's anniversaries. Players can complete a co-op battle that changes each day to earn rare items.
===Legendary events===
{{main|Legendary event}}
During legendary events, players could recruit and strengthen an event-exclusive sync pair that includes a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
On November 24, 2021, this event type was retired, and all legendary events were made permanently available in the "Legendary Adventures" section of the Main Story over the next two months.
===Solo events===
{{main|Solo event}}
Solo events are similar to story events, but they place emphasis on the battles rather than the story. They contain at least an introductory story area, but any additional story areas are only unlocked after completing battles to collect a certain number of event items.
===Egg events===
{{main|Egg event}}
During Egg events, players can collect Eggs, which can be hatched to form additional sync pairs for the [[player character]]. An extra Egg incubator will also be available for the duration of the event.
During an Egg event, no Eggs can be received from any areas outside of the event battles, and the Eggs available will only hatch certain species of Pokémon. However, they often contain species of Pokémon that are unavailable in standard Eggs.
===Time trial events===
{{main|Time trial event}}
In time trial events, players are tasked with clearing an event battle in as little time as possible. Rewards are given for achieving fast times, as well as accumulating points through multiple attempts.
===Extreme battle events===
{{main|Extreme battle event}}
Extreme battle events offer high-difficulty battles for experienced players, usually corresponding to the release of a Master Fair-exclusive sync pair or a new chapter of the [[Villain Arc]].
===Gear events===
{{main|Gear event}}
Gear events center around a specific type and introduce 3★ gear for that type. Event battles are co-op-only, and all enemies will be weak to the designated type. The chance of receiving gear as drops is significantly higher than in the [[EX Plaza]], and includes the chance of 3★ gear dropping as well.
Shortly after the conclusion of a gear event, the new 3★ gear is added to the general section of the shop, where it can be redeemed at any time by collecting and selling gear from the EX Plaza.
===Special sync pair events===
{{main|Special sync pair event}}
Special sync pair events grant players an event-exclusive sync pair, which can then be powered up by playing the event.
===Daily Battles===
{{main|Daily Battle}}
In Daily Battles, players are rewarded with rare or valuable items by completing a battle once per day over a short period of time.
===Villain events===
{{main|Villain event}}
During villain events, players can battle a series of Trainers, typically [[Grunt]]s and the boss or admins of a [[villainous team]], with [[sync pair]]s from the corresponding [[region]] getting significantly-boosted stats.
These events primarily reward players with region-specific 5★-guaranteed scout tickets and one of the following:
* Legendary spirits for the legendary event sync pair corresponding to the region.
* Power boost for the legendary event sync pair corresponding to the region. This can either enable [[Mega Evolution]] or unlock additional sync grid tiles for the designated sync pair.
===Costume events===
{{main|Costume event}}
Costume events are a type of story event featuring one to four sync pairs in special costumes that all relate to a specific theme.
===Pokémon Masters Day===
{{main|Pokémon Masters Day}}
Pokémon Masters Day is a recurring event that occurs on the 25th of each month.
===Legendary Gauntlet===
{{main|Legendary Gauntlet}}
The Legendary Gauntlet is an endurance challenge in which players have to complete battles in three different [[Legendary Arena]]s, but once a [[sync pair]] has been used in any arena, that sync pair cannot be used again until the challenge is reset. Players are encouraged to achieve the highest winning streak they can by using as many different sync pairs as possible.
===Throwback Challenge===
{{main|Throwback Challenge}}
A Throwback Challenge is a type of event consisting of battles from previous events or main story areas.
===Special battle events===
{{main|Special battle event}}
Special battle events are a type of event that features moderately challenging battles. These battles can be against special opponents or have special missions that the player must complete while taking on specific battles.
===Neo Champions===
{{main|Neo Champions}}
Neo Champions events are a type of story event that revolves around the Neo Champion Stadium, a recurring in-universe event that allows Trainers on [[Pasio]] to earn the title of {{pkmn|Champion|Neo Champion}}. These events focus on one to three characters from a certain region and their journeys to becoming Neo Champions, and they often feature [[rival]]s triumphing over [[player character]]s.
===Trainer Files===
{{main|Trainer Files}}
Trainer Files events are a type of event similar to solo events. They are divided into two parts and feature character-centric stories about certain groups of Trainers.
===High score events===
{{main|High score event}}
High score events are a type of event where players aim to get the highest total score over a series of five battles. Each event has one or two featured types, and players receive score multipliers for having sync pairs of the featured type or types on their team.
===Ranked damage events===
{{main|Ranked damage event}}
Ranked damage events are a type of event where players aim to get the highest total score over a series of three battles. The player's score in each battle is based on how much damage is dealt to the opponents in a limited amount of time, but each opponent can only be damaged by supereffective attacks. Every battle features opponents with a different weakness type.

Most sync pairs have a unique sync pair story, which allows players to learn more about the sync pair. A sync pair's sync pair story is unlocked once the pair is recruited.
| Launch Celebration Special Rally
 
| Special log-in bonus<br>Event missions
Sync pair stories mainly consist of dialogue, with the player character encountering the sync pair somewhere on Pasio. They have a conversation with the sync pair and learn more about the Trainer, the Trainer's Pokémon, or both. Sync pair stories are typically more interactive than other story areas, with players having multiple opportunities to select a dialogue option, and these options often provoke different responses from the sync pair.
| August 29 to October 17, 2019
 
|- style="background:#fff"
Some sync pair stories involve a battle which allows the sync pair to [[Evolution|evolve]] their Pokémon; these are called Evolution sync pair stories. Unlike the usual three-on-three battle system seen in Pokémon Masters EX, Evolution story battles are one-on-one and require the {{player}} to bring Evolution items. If the player is defeated in an Evolution sync pair story, the Evolution items will not be used up. These sync pair stories can be replayed even after the Pokémon has already evolved; the Pokémon will appear in its unevolved state during the story segments, and its evolved state during the battle.

===Sync pair stories===
Some sync pairs do not have traditional sync pair stories, and instead have the ability to replay certain story segments involving them. These include sync pairs in special costumes, which replay part of the corresponding [[costume event]]; most sync pairs in seasonal outfits, which replay the corresponding [[seasonal event]]; and most sync pairs available through [[Legendary Adventures]], which replay the corresponding [[legendary event]]. As legendary event stories are now permanently available through Legendary Adventures, these sync pair stories are completely redundant.
Each sync pair has a unique sync pair story. Sync pair stories are unlocked once a sync pair is recruited.  


Sync pair stories mainly consists of dialogue as the player meets the sync pair in Pasio. Some sync pair stories involve a battle which allows the sync pair to evolve their Pokémon. Unlike the usual three-on-three battle system seen in Pokémon Masters, these evolution story battles are one-on-one and require the player to bring evolution material. If the player is defeated in these evolution sync pair stories, the evolution material will not be used up.
Some sync pairs do not have sync pair stories at all. These include most sync pairs available through variety scouts, BP Vouchers, and [[special sync pair event]]s. These are marked in the sync pair scout or exchange menu with a Trainer icon covered by a red x.

Challenge the Strong is a type of permanent battle content that was added on November 14, 2023. This area is unlocked after the player has completed [[Champion Stadium]] Hard Lv. 1 for any region. Each battle has the Ultimate difficulty level, and as such, is called an Ultimate Battle. These battles feature powerful sync pair bosses with very high amounts of HP and powerful passive skills, so high-leveled sync pairs and a good strategy are necessary to clear one of these battles.

==Trivia==
* Certain events from the [[core series]] games are stated to have happened before the main story of Masters EX, with a few alterations. The identified games are:
** A mix between {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{LGPE}}, as {{mas|Red}}, {{mas|Leaf}}, {{mas|Chase}}, and {{mas|Elaine}} all coexist and know each other, unlike in the original games. Leaf takes the remaining [[first partner Pokémon]] that wasn't picked by Red and {{mas|Blue}}. <!--Red is the one who defeated Team Rocket (FRLG), yet they all know each other (LGPE).-->
** A mix between {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Crystal}}, as both {{mas|Lyra}} and {{mas|Kris}} coexist in the same game.
** A mix between {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, as everyone is in their Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire design, and characters from Emerald appear in the game. It is also mentioned that both [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], were active during the events of the game, something that only happened in the story of Pokémon Emerald.
** {{game|Platinum}}, as {{mas|Cynthia}} had previously visited the [[Distortion World]], and [[Cyrus]] from the original game was defeated there. However, {{mas|Dawn}}, {{mas|Lucas}}, and {{mas|Barry}} use their {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} designs instead of their Pokémon Platinum designs.
** {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, as {{mas|Hilbert}} is the Hero of Truth, and {{mas|N}} is the Hero of Ideals.
** {{B2W2}}<!--Isn't clear which version of the game happened.-->
** {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, as {{mas|Calem}} and {{mas|Serena}} seem to have never seen {{p|Xerneas}} before, in stark contrast to {{p|Yveltal}}, which Serena immediately recognizes.
** {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as {{mas|Lusamine}} mentions previously meeting a {{p|Necrozma}} that she considered "a menace to be defeated... before it could steal all the world's light". Lusamine also doesn't seem to have been possessed/poisoned by {{p|Nihilego}}, and there is no mention of her recovery, either. Although {{mas|Elio}} and {{mas|Selene}} are mostly depicted in their {{g|Sun and Moon}} designs, they are also shown in their Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon designs. Both Elio and Selene coexist in the same game, unlike in the original game.<!--Isn't clear which version of the game happened.-->
** {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}, as {{mas|Gloria}} owns {{p|Zacian}} and {{mas|Hop}} owns {{p|Zamazenta}}. Both {{mas|Victor}} and Gloria coexist in the same game, unlike in the original game. <!--Victor also takes the remaining starter that wasn't picked by Gloria and Hop.-->
** {{g|Legends: Arceus}}
** {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, as {{mas|Nemona}} and {{mas|Arven}} are in their [[Naranja Academy]] uniform, and {{mas|Penny}}'s mindscape features the same school.
* Although Masters EX takes place after each of the core series games, Red is the only [[player character]] confirmed to have been a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** This is odd, as most core series games require the player to become Champion in order to complete the game's main story, with the exception of Pokémon Black and White (as becoming Champion is optional) and Pokémon Legends: Arceus (where the [[Pokémon League]] doesn't exist).
* Not all characters are from this game's continuity, as some characters are from {{pkmn|multiverse|different universes}}.
** {{mas|Giovanni}} is from an alternate universe where [[Team Rocket]] succeeded in taking over the world, and he became the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], which was introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
*** The whereabouts of [[Giovanni]] from this game's continuity are currently unknown.
** {{mas|Cyrus}} is from an alternate universe where his plan succeeded, which was also introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Cyrus has never heard of the Distortion World despite Cynthia saying that Cyrus was defeated there. Cyrus also said that he was about to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} to remake the world when he was interrupted by {{p|Hoopa}}'s ring.
*** The whereabouts of Cyrus from this game's continuity are currently unknown. However, if this game follows Platinum's story, it's likely that he is still in the Distortion World.
** {{mas|Ghetsis}} arrives on Pasio through one of Hoopa's rings and immediately wonders where the [[Shadow Triad]] have gone. He is also surprised when he learns that the characters know that {{p|Kyurem}} can fuse with Reshiram and Zekrom, implying that he comes from a different universe.
** {{mas|Jessie}} and {{mas|James}} are from the alternate {{pkmn|movie}} continuity that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', with them arriving on [[Pasio]] sometime during the events of ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.
** {{mas|Ash}} is from the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' continuity, with him arriving on Pasio sometime during the events of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Not all characters are from this game's current time, as some characters arrived on current Pasio due to [[time travel]].
** {{mas|Leon}} theorizes that the {{mas|Rose}} and {{mas|Oleana}} that arrived on Pasio came from a time before they caused the [[Darkest Day]] in [[Galar]].
*** According to Leon, the Rose and Oleana from the current time, should still be in prison.
** All characters from Pokémon Legends: Arceus are from the past and arrived to present day due to a [[Space-time distortion|space-time rift]].
* This is the only game where [[Pikachu in a cap|World Cap]] {{p|Pikachu}} can use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, as it cannot perform the move in the [[core series]] games.

Gameplay

Sync pairs

Main article: Sync pair

A sync pair is a pair consisting of one Pokémon Trainer and one Pokémon. Each sync pair is able to know up to four moves which can be used in battle. Sync pairs also have passive skills that grant passive effects in battle, similar to Abilities. There are five types of sync pairs:

  • Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike sync pairs, which are focused on attacking.
  • Masters Support.png Support sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing HP, and increasing stats of the whole team.
  • Masters Tech.png Tech sync pairs, which are focused on disrupting the opponents, such as lowering their stats and inflicting status conditions.
  • Masters Sprint.png Sprint sync pairs, which are focused on attacking fast and reducing the sync move countdown.
  • Masters Field.png Field sync pairs, which are focused on setting up field effects.

The level of a sync pair can be increased gaining experience through battles or by using Level-Up Manuals. Various sync pair stats, moves and skills can be further strengthened using the sync grid feature.

Sync pairs can be recruited by playing the main story, playing special events, or through the Sync Pair Scout at the shop.

Battle mechanics

Main article: Pokémon battle (Masters)
A battle in Pokémon Masters EX

Battles in Pokémon Masters EX are primarily three-on-three battles. Unlike in the core series games, they take place in real-time instead of being turn-based. During battle, the player is able to choose up to one action for each allied sync pair at a time. Some actions require a number of move gauge slots to be used and become highlighted whenever the appropriate number of slots in the move gauge are full. The speed at which the gauge fills up depends on sum of the Speed stats of the sync pairs in the player's team. During battle, the player can freely choose which opponent each ally can target at any time. The opposing side will target whichever sync pair the player chooses as the primary target, as assigned in the Tactics menu.

Players can also team up with up to two other players in co-op battles. Each player brings a team of up to three sync pairs, but only has one sync pair out on the field at a time; players are able to switch between their sync pairs, although switching takes one turn. Each player's team has their own move gauge with which to act and using certain moves will fill the unity gauge, which unleashes a special unity attack when filled.

The battle is won when all sync pairs on a team have been eliminated. If the player wins, the sync pairs will gain experience and obtain items as rewards. If the opposing side wins, the player will be given the option to retry the battle.

Moves

Main article: List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX

As a sync pair, both the Pokémon and Trainer can use moves in a battle. Moves used by Pokémon function in the same way as they do in the core series games, retaining the same type, damage category, and properties under normal circumstances. Buddy moves are a special variant of Pokémon moves unique to sync pairs and can only be selected when certain battle conditions are met. Trainers can use non-damaging moves that influence the field in different ways; some Trainer moves are based on items that can be used during battle, and others are unique to the Trainer that influence the allied field of play. Certain moves have a set number of move points (MP) that limit how many times it can be selected in battle, similar to PP in other games.

Sync moves are powerful moves that a sync pair can unleash once the sync move countdown reaches 0. The player's countdown begins at 9, while the opponent's countdown starts at 6. When a move is used, the countdown goes down by one. Once a sync move is used, the countdown resets to the original maximum value. Max Moves can also be used by certain pairs once per battle.

Items

Main article: List of items in Pokémon Masters EX

There are many items in Pokémon Masters EX with varied uses. They are often obtained as battle rewards or through item exchange at the shop.

Coins

Coins are the main currency in Pokémon Masters EX. These can be obtained as rewards from battles, by exchanging gears, and are also obtained when event items expire. Coins are used to exchange for items at the shop and to upgrade gear.

Gems

Main article: Gem (Masters)

Gems are the premium currency. They can be obtained as first-time battle rewards. They are often also made available through special log-in bonuses and event missions or mission bingos. Gems are used for sync pair scouting.

Stamina

Main article: Stamina (Masters)

Stamina is a mechanic for certain battles which limits how much they can be played in a day. It recharges on its own at a rate 1 stamina every 4 minutes, but can also be manually refilled through Stamina Refill items. Spending stamina raises Player Rank by an equivalent amount.

Missions

Main article: Mission (Masters)

Missions are specific goals for the player to achieve in the game. The player is rewarded with special items such as Gems when the mission is completed. There are three types of missions: Daily, General, and Event missions.

Mission Bingo was introduced in version 1.5.0. These are special missions in a 3×3 bingo format, with each mission representing one tile of the bingo. When the mission is fulfilled, the player will obtain the reward for that mission tile. In addition, if a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of missions is completed, the player will receive extra rewards. Once all tiles are filled, then there will be a "Blackout!" and the player will be given a special bingo reward.

Poryphone

Poryphone

The Poryphone is a multi-purpose information device that allows the player to communicate with other sync pairs in the team. It is given to the player by Trista once the player registers for the Pokémon Masters League. It has a sync stone embedded in it, allowing the player to use sync moves.

The Poryphone has a menu of functions available to the player:

  • Player details: the player's user profile can be edited here. Favorites and hashtags can be assigned, as well as a title and a photo from the Photo Creator.
  • Medals
  • Missions
  • Settings: allows players to change certain settings such as the player's nickname and certain battle settings.
  • Dex: provides a list of all sync available pairs.
  • Friends: players can befriend up to 100 friends. Players can request and accept pending friend requests through this tab.
  • Bag: details the number of items the player has.
  • Game Center/Google Play: allows connection with Game CenteriOS/Google PlayAndroid.
  • Account: allows connection with a Nintendo account.
  • Invitations: players can join co-op battles initiated by friends.

The Poryphone is also used to recruit other sync pairs through sync pair scout.

Pokémon Center

Pokémon Center

The Pokémon Center acts as a central point for the player. There are three receptionists at the center:

  • Trista staffs the reception desk. Talking to her opens the Explore or the Tips menu.
  • Tricia staffs the shop. Talking to her opens the shop menu.
  • Trinnia staffs the café. Talking to her opens the Sync Pairs menu.

Shop

Main article: Shop (Masters)

Players can perform a variety of exchanges using currency such as coins or Gems at the shop run by Tricia. In-game microtransactions with real-world currency to purchase Gems or other items can also be performed at the shop.

The shop also includes the sync pair scout, where players can recruit sync pairs that are not available through the main story. It costs 300 Gems (or 100 paid Gems) to scout one sync pair, which is chosen randomly from a pool of sync pairs. There is a 73% chance of obtaining a 3★ sync pair (70% during Poké Fair scouts), 20% chance of a 4★ sync pair, and 7% chance of a 5★ sync pair (10% during Poké Fair scouts, and 12% during Master Fair scouts). If rainbow sparks appear when the Pokémon Center doors open at the end of the scouting animation, at least one 5★ sync pair is guaranteed to be scouted. Players can also use the ticket scout to scout for sync pairs using ticket items instead of directly using Gems.

Jukebox

Main article: Jukebox (Masters)

Introduced in version 2.17.0, the Jukebox allows players to listen to songs from the game's soundtrack. New tracks can be obtained via Song Keys which are either bought from the shop with Music Coins or by levelling up specific sync pairs to 6★ EX.

Main story

PML Arc

Main article: PML Arc

The main character is Scottie or Bettie with their partner Pokémon, Pikachu. The game starts with Blue introducing the player, a new Trainer in Pasio, to the Pokémon Masters League, or PML for short. The player registers for the PML at the Pokémon Center, and Trista introduces the player to Brock and Misty who are looking for a Trainer to join their team for the PML.

To enter the PML the player must collect at least five Badges by defeating the PML Leaders. As a team, Brock, Misty, and the player explore Pasio to look for other Trainers and PML Leaders. Along the way, various Trainers join the team and they also battle members of Team Break, whose goal is to steal strong Pokémon from other Trainers and disrupt the PML. They also meet Lear, the founder of Pasio and the PML, and his subordinates, Sawyer and Rachel.

After having collected five Badges, the player's team enters the PML to battle against numerous other teams in order to become the first Champions of the PML.

The story consists of multiple chapters, with the next chapter unlocked once the previous one is completed. Co-op mode is available from Interlude 1. Hard Mode for the main story is unlocked after completing Chapter 4.

Villain Arc

Main article: Villain Arc

The Villain Arc continues the story after the completion of the PML Arc, following Team Rocket beginning operation on Pasio and seeking out their rival organization, Team Plasma. When Giovanni watches the Trainers from Sinnoh intervene with the plans of his silent allies, Cyrus and Team Galactic, he decides to call his Executives to preparing the revival. After failing to take over Pasio, they focus their efforts on manipulating Team Magma and Team Aqua. Later, Team Rocket infiltrates Team Flare and the Aether Foundation to steal data in preparation for their next plan. A faction of the Aether Foundation allies itself with Team Rocket to summon Ultra Beasts to Pasio, but they're eventually stopped. Finally, Rose forms an alliance with Giovanni in an attempt take over the management of sync stones, dividing the people of Pasio into Rose supporters and Lear supporters.

Meanwhile, Paulo continues his ongoing quest for strength and reunites with his friend Tina. When Ghetsis tricks him into bringing Hoopa to him and seemingly kills Paulo's Rockruff, Paulo finally snaps and declares he'll use Hoopa's Unbound power to become "the last evil" and wipe out all organizations with potential for evil. For this purpose, he takes over Team Break and provides them with powerful Pokémon. However, this effort backfires during his confrontation with Team Rocket, during which Giovanni takes control of Hoopa from him and starts using its powers to benefit Team Rocket instead.

Legendary Adventures

Main article: Legendary Adventures

Legendary Adventures is a collection of stories where the player encounters various sync pairs with Legendary Pokémon. These stories are a compilation of the previously available legendary events.

Arceus Arc

Main article: Arceus Arc

The Arceus Arc continues the story following the end of the Villain Arc. It was preceded by the Prelude chapter called the Mysterious Stones Chapter, which was released as monthly parts starting from November 1, 2023 until August 1, 2024. It centers around the mysterious stones, later dubbed sync stones ultimate, which have started to appear on Pasio and appear to bear a connection with the Mythical Pokémon Arceus. Making his first appearance in this arc is the merchant Volo, whom Rei has history with and who desires to meet the deified Pokémon.

When Arceus's voice speaks to the entire Pasio, telling everyone to show it their bond with their Pokémon, Lear organizes a tournament called the Arceus Cup, where the goal is to gain Arceus's approval. It is during this tournament that the power of the sync stones ultimate is fully manifested for the first time in the form of arc suits, special costumes bestowed upon those blessed by Arceus, and more powerful sync moves called divine moves.

Events

There are many different types of events in Pokémon Masters EX. Events often reward the player with vouchers that can be exchanged for items at the shop. The items obtainable during events are generally rarer, such as power-up items.

There are also other events that do not provide new battles or storyline, but give smaller amounts of extra content, such as special log-in bonuses or special mission rewards.

All events start and end at 6 AM (UTC) on each specified day.

Story events

Main article: Story event

Story events are a type of event that features a storyline focused on one to three newly released sync pairs. A common type of story event is seasonal events, which feature sync pairs in special outfits to celebrate specific holidays or times of the year.

Training events

Main article: Training event

During training events, all event battles will have enemies weak to the designated type, and sync pairs of the designated type will earn much more experience than normal.

While this event type was never formally retired, no training events have been held since July 24, 2020.

During Egg events, players can collect Eggs, which can be hatched to form additional sync pairs for the player character. An extra Egg incubator will also be available for the duration of the event.

During an Egg event, no Eggs can be received from any areas outside of the event battles, and the Eggs available will only hatch certain species of Pokémon. However, they often contain species of Pokémon that are unavailable in standard Eggs.

Extreme battle events offer high-difficulty battles for experienced players, usually corresponding to the release of a Master Fair-exclusive sync pair or a new chapter of the Villain Arc.

Gear events center around a specific type and introduce 3★ gear for that type. Event battles are co-op-only, and all enemies will be weak to the designated type. The chance of receiving gear as drops is significantly higher than in the EX Plaza, and includes the chance of 3★ gear dropping as well.

Shortly after the conclusion of a gear event, the new 3★ gear is added to the general section of the shop, where it can be redeemed at any time by collecting and selling gear from the EX Plaza.

Special sync pair events

Main article: Special sync pair event

Special sync pair events grant players an event-exclusive sync pair, which can then be powered up by playing the event.

These events primarily reward players with region-specific 5★-guaranteed scout tickets and one of the following:

  • Legendary spirits for the legendary event sync pair corresponding to the region.
  • Power boost for the legendary event sync pair corresponding to the region. This can either enable Mega Evolution or unlock additional sync grid tiles for the designated sync pair.

Costume events

Side Area

The Side Area is a hub for side content that can be taken on at any time. Currently, there are two sub-menus in the Side Area: Sync Pair Stories and Challenge the Strong.

Sync Pair Stories

Most sync pairs have a unique sync pair story, which allows players to learn more about the sync pair. A sync pair's sync pair story is unlocked once the pair is recruited.

Sync pair stories mainly consist of dialogue, with the player character encountering the sync pair somewhere on Pasio. They have a conversation with the sync pair and learn more about the Trainer, the Trainer's Pokémon, or both. Sync pair stories are typically more interactive than other story areas, with players having multiple opportunities to select a dialogue option, and these options often provoke different responses from the sync pair.

Some sync pair stories involve a battle which allows the sync pair to evolve their Pokémon; these are called Evolution sync pair stories. Unlike the usual three-on-three battle system seen in Pokémon Masters EX, Evolution story battles are one-on-one and require the player to bring Evolution items. If the player is defeated in an Evolution sync pair story, the Evolution items will not be used up. These sync pair stories can be replayed even after the Pokémon has already evolved; the Pokémon will appear in its unevolved state during the story segments, and its evolved state during the battle.

The requirements for completing an Evolution sync pair story are as follows:

Evolution Items required Level required
First stage Masters Evolution Shard.png Evolution Shard ×5 Level 30
Second stage Masters Evolution Crystal.png Evolution Crystal ×3 Level 45

Some sync pairs do not have traditional sync pair stories, and instead have the ability to replay certain story segments involving them. These include sync pairs in special costumes, which replay part of the corresponding costume event; most sync pairs in seasonal outfits, which replay the corresponding seasonal event; and most sync pairs available through Legendary Adventures, which replay the corresponding legendary event. As legendary event stories are now permanently available through Legendary Adventures, these sync pair stories are completely redundant.

Some sync pairs do not have sync pair stories at all. These include most sync pairs available through variety scouts, BP Vouchers, and special sync pair events. These are marked in the sync pair scout or exchange menu with a Trainer icon covered by a red x.

Challenge the Strong

Main article: Ultimate Battle

Challenge the Strong is a type of permanent battle content that was added on November 14, 2023. This area is unlocked after the player has completed Champion Stadium Hard Lv. 1 for any region. Each battle has the Ultimate difficulty level, and as such, is called an Ultimate Battle. These battles feature powerful sync pair bosses with very high amounts of HP and powerful passive skills, so high-leveled sync pairs and a good strategy are necessary to clear one of these battles.

Reception

Before its release, Pokémon Masters EX had surpassed 5 million pre-registrations.[1] Since its launch, it surpassed 10 million downloads in four days[2] and made $25 million in revenue in its first week.[3]

On October 9, 2019, amid the lukewarm reception from the community, particularly on the lack of content, unfulfilling completion rewards, and difficulty of the game's mechanics, DeNA released a letter from the producers, where they apologized for the delay on addressing the game's problems and promised to focus on the community's complaints first.[4]
