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 and up to three passive skills which can be used in battle. There are three types of sync pairs:

  • Strike sync pairs, which focus on attacking
  • Support sync pairs, which focus on defending, healing HP, and increasing stats of the whole team
  • Tech sync pairs, which focus on different tactics, such as inflicting status conditions

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, or through Sync Pair Scout at the shop.

Battle mechanics

A battle in Pokémon 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Beside the real time mechanics, the battle system borrows the core mechanics from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with various differences:

  • 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
  • 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 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 skills. Similar to Abilities, these provide passive effects in battle, such as preventing stats from being lowered.

Co-op battle mechanics

An Electric-type Unity Attack

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.

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 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.

Items

Main article: List of items in Pokémon Masters

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

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 contains many useful functions for the player:

  • Player details - including the player's number of badges, and the amount of coins and gems. The player's appearance and favourite sync pair can be edited here
  • Missions - players can earn rewards by completing Daily, General and Event missions
  • 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
  • Settings - allows players to change certain settings such as the player's nickname and certain battle settings
  • Other
  • Google Play - allows connection with Google Play
  • 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. The player returns here when they are defeated in battle. There are three receptionists at the Center:

  • Trista staffs the reception desk. Talking with her opens the Explore menu.
  • Tricia staffs the shop. Talking with her opens the Shop menu.
  • Trinnia staffs the café. Talking with her opens the Team menu

Shop

Sync Pair Scout
See also: Sync pair scout

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

Players can exchange coins or items for other items.

Plot

The game consists of several modes - main story, events, sync pair stories and training area. The main story, events and training area can also be played in co-op mode.

Main Story

Main article: Pokémon Masters/Main Story

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 then enters the PML to battle against numerous other teams.

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.

Events

There are three main types of events:

  • Story event - involves a single player story structured like the chapters of Story mode
  • 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 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.

All events are started and ended at 6 AM (UTC).

Sync pair stories

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.

Training area

Main article: Training area

The Training area is a mode in Pokémon Masters that allows players to repeatedly battle other Trainers to collect useful items.

Reception

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

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 out 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]
