Ball Guy (Japanese: ボールガイ Ball Guy) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series games. They form a sync pair with Amoonguss. The sync pair can be obtained through a limited variety sync pair scout, and was first available on March 21, 2023. The pair's potential can be upgraded to
6★ EX since it was first released, which unlocks Ball Guy's EX Style.
