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 three types of sync pairs:

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:


* Strike sync pairs, which focus on attacking
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]] [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''' sync pairs, which are focused on attacking.
* Support sync pairs, which focus on defending, healing HP, and increasing stats of the whole team
* [[File:Masters Support.png|32px|link=]] '''Support''' sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing {{stat|HP}}, and increasing stats of the whole team.
* Tech sync pairs, which focus on different tactics, such as inflicting status conditions
* [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] '''Tech''' sync pairs, which are focused on disrupting the opponents, such as lowering their stats and inflicting status conditions.
* [[File:Masters Sprint.png|32px|link=]] '''Sprint''' sync pairs, which are focused on attacking fast and reducing the [[sync move]] countdown.
* [[File:Masters Field.png|32px|link=]] '''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 [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|Level-Up Manuals]]. Various sync pair stats, moves and skills can be further strengthened using the [[sync grid]] feature.

{{main|Pokémon battle (Masters)}}
[[File:Battle Masters.png|thumb|150px|A battle in Pokémon Masters EX]]
[[File:Battle Masters.png|thumb|150px|A battle in Pokémon Masters EX]]
Battles in Pokémon Masters EX 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 their commands to their team.
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 for a Pokémon to use. Each move used by a Pokémon typically uses up a certain amount of energy from the move gauge. Generally, 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 player's sync pair will, by default, always target the opponent's center sync pair; 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 player is also able to select items and trainer moves. Each item and trainer moves have a limited number of uses per battle (or use MP), which is almost always two with strong moves instead having one. These moves improve the player's stats, their whole team's stats, or restores HP. Also, each trainer move is unique to each sync pair. Some item and trainer moves target any ally, and that ally must be chosen by tapping on the allied sync pair the player wants to target, but the player can cancel this choice to perform another action instead.
====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.


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. Additionally, the target order can be changed by the player from the Tactics menu.
[[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. [[Max Move]]s can also be used by certain pairs once per battle.

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.
 
Besides the real time mechanics and the typing that works without predetermined immunities and resistances and a single type weakness per pair rather than the usual type effectiveness, the battle system borrows the core mechanics from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, with various differences:
* {{DL|Status condition|Flinch}} is now a status change 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 status change, the pair can use a sync move, switch out, or wait a few seconds.
* The random factor in the [[damage]] formula goes from 0.9 to 1, still using integer percentage steps of 0.01.
* [[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 rate]] is now a stat that caps at 3. The critical-hit rates for attack moves at the -1, 0, +1, +2, and +3 stages are 0%, 12.5%, 50%, 80%, and 100%, respectively; the sync moves always have a base critical hit rate inferior by 1 stage to the current one, being the only ones able to reach stage -1.
* Some Pokémon moves cost move-gauge energy to use, some use MP, and a few cost both move-gauge energy and MP.
* Using a sync move increases the stage of the ''sync buff'', whose only observed influence so far is increasing the damage dealt for allied or opposing teams each by applying a multiplier that starts at 1 and increases by 0.5 per stage. Using each 6★EX support sync pair's sync move for the first time per battle instead increases the sync buff stage by 2 for the allied team.
* Moves that affect both allies and all foes in the main series games (such as {{m|Earthquake}}) instead only affect all the foes. However, field moves such as [[weather]]-based moves will still affect the entire field.
* Priority does not exist, and all moves with positive priority in the main games (such as {{m|King's Shield}}) instead use MP.
* Two-turn attack moves with invincibility periods (such as {{m|Fly}}) only use MP and bring their users into states in which they are still unable to perform any other action but are now immune to their all opponents' Pokémon moves, even moves like {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Twister}}, for set periods of time. Allies' trainer, item, Pokémon, and sync moves can still affect users in this state. Opponents' sync moves cancel these states before the users get chances to attack. After set periods to time end, the users leave these states and attack. Each use of these moves only decrease their users' teams' sync move countdown by one, like every other Pokémon move, and only when the users enter the invincibility state.
* Without harsh sunlight, {{m|Solar Beam}} instead brings its user into an attacking posture in which the user cannot perform any action except select Solar Beam again to attack. Each use of this moves only decrease their users' teams' sync move countdown by one, like every other Pokémon move, and only when the user enters this posture.
* Attack moves with negative priority in the main series games (such as {{m|Beak Blast}}) and status moves with positive priority the main series games (such as {{m|Wide Guard}}) instead bring its users into defense postures in which the users cannot perform any action except select the moves again to leave those postures. The users will also leave this posture a(n) (certain) attack move hits them, and then the moves' other effects activate, including attacking if applicable. 
* [[Same-type attack bonus]] is not applied.
* Rain and harsh sunlight do not decrease the damage of Fire-type and Water-type attack/sync moves, respectively.
* Hailstorms and sandstorms damage all whom lack skills like Snow Shelter and Sand Shelter regardless of typing, respectively.
* Electric Terrain does not awaken whomever became asleep prior to its activation.  However, it still prevents all from becoming asleep while it is active.
* Grass Terrain only heals whomever uses Grass-type attack moves, and it does not decrease the damage of Earthquake.
 
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. They may also similarly learn a [[lucky skill]], which requires Lucky Scrolls to unlock.
 
====Co-op battle mechanics====
[[File:Masters Unity Attack.png|250px|thumb|An Electric-type Unity Attack]]
 
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.
 
'''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 by an amount of units equal to the number of move gauge slots required to use the move, with quick moves, that do not require any move gauge slot, filling the gauge by one unit. 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.
 
From version 1.8.0, the player is able to play co-op battles solo using a team of 9 sync pairs. The battle uses the same rules as a regular co-op battle. Only the sync pair in the centre can be controlled and will gain experience after the battle. Despite the earlier introduction of solo mode, EX Challenges could only be played in solo mode after they were moved to the [[EX Plaza]] with update 1.12.0.
 
Prior to update 1.12.0, players were required to complete "Co-op Pokémon Battles!" and "Co-op Unity Attacks!" tutorials in the [[training area]] to unlock co-op mode. These tutorials become available after the player cleared Interlude 1: Brock's Grit.

====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 (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.


=====Ticket Scout=====
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.
Similar with Sync Pair Scout, players can recruit sync pairs through Ticket Scout. Normally, the only scout available is the 5★ Guaranteed Scout, in which a 5★ sync pair could be scouted for 30 5★ Scout Tickets. During special Seasonal or other limited scouts, a Ticket Scout may be available for that sync pair.


=====Item Exchange=====
====Jukebox====
Players can exchange coins or [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|items]] for other items.
{{main|Jukebox (Masters)}}
{| class="roundtable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="margin:auto; background:#{{orange color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color light}}; text-align:center"
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.

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


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.

{{main|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 event]]s.
 
===Arceus Arc===
{{main|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 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.
 
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}}.

==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===
<!--{{main|Sync pair story}}-->
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 [[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.
 
The requirements for completing an Evolution sync pair story are as follows:

==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===
{{main|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.

==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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Training events

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.

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.

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.

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]
