Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yūki) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series. He forms a sync pair with Treecko, and its evolved forms Grovyle and Sceptile. The sync pair can be obtained through the sync pair scout.

Treecko can evolve into Grovyle once it has reached level 30 through its Sync Pair Story Treecko's Evolution, and then into Sceptile once it has reached level 45 through its Sync Pair Story Grovyle's Evolution.
