First run October 29 to December 10, 2021
Rerun(s) September 8 to October 3, 2022
Featured sync pairs Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo
Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie
Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole
Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela

Poké War Games (Japanese: 激突! ポケモン合戦! Clash! Pokémon Battle!) was a costume event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela.

This event featured a main storyline—Poké War Games—which featured all four sync pairs, and sub-story areas—Battle Prep stories—for each of the featured sync pairs.

Poké War Games was contained in a separate event menu from the Battle Prep stories, consisting of several story areas. It also contained two Battle Challenges, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

In the Battle Prep stories, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battles, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

First run

The event first ran from October 29 to December 10, 2021. The "Diantha Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo for the duration of the event. The "Hilda Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie starting on November 4, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event. The "Guzma Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole starting on November 11, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event. The "Jasmine Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela starting on November 18, 2021 and lasting until the end of the event.

During this run, there were four different Battle Prep stories available: Diantha's Battle Prep, Hilda's Battle Prep, Guzma's Battle Prep, and Jasmine's Battle Prep. Each Battle Prep story could be unlocked using a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing story areas in Poké War Games. Two of the Poké War Games story areas were available at the start of the event, and a new story area was added each week until all five story areas had been added. The Battle Prep stories could be unlocked in any order. Extra Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Battle Challenge areas were also added over the course of the event. The first two areas, Grimsley's Battle Challenge! Part 1 and Grimsley's Battle Challenge! Part 2, became available on November 4, 2021. The second two areas, Glacia's Battle Challenge! Part 1 and Glacia's Battle Challenge! Part 2, became available on November 18, 2021.

Second run

The event reran from September 8 to October 3, 2022. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela for the duration of the event.

During this run, all the Battle Prep stories were combined into one event menu, called Battle Prep. Story Keys were no longer needed to unlock them, and as such were no longer available from completing story areas in Poké War Games. All story areas in Poké War Games were unlocked by completing the previous story area, and thus the whole main storyline could be played through without interruption. In addition, the Battle Challenge areas were available as soon as the player completed the main storyline.

(Battle Villa)
Sawyer Young master! I think we're ready to go!
Lear Ready with the camera, <player>? Good. Start rolling!
Ahem! Sync pairs of Pasio, hear my words!
I'm happy to announce that we'll be holding a new kind of event to promote Pasio! We're calling it...the Battle of the Golden Spheres!
I'll explain how it works, so listen up!
Rachel Yeah, and if you, like, still don't get it after that, we'll tooootally answer any questions you’ve got later on!
Sawyer First, let's give them an overview of the event. Take it away, young master!
Lear Certainly! Here are the rules!
We'll start by creating two teams of sync pairs, each led by two leaders in special costumes!
We'll hide five golden spheres all over Pasio. The team that brings more of these spheres back to their camp wins the game!
It's as simple as that!
You can also challenge your opponents to a Pokémon battle before they get back to their camp in order to steal their golden spheres!
Battle with honor! Show us your finest moves, and try to take as many golden spheres from your opponents as you can!
Rachel Uh...quick question! How're the spectators gonna know what's going on if the battles are spread out all over Pasio?
Lear Excellent question! We'll have cameras following everyone around, so all battles will be livestreamed with commentary!
Don't forget that we're trying to promote Pasio with showy battles! How you make it a show is completely up to you!
Winning isn't enough to be a top-class sync pair! You also have to make your battles entertaining! Only the best know how to work a crowd!
Also, keep in mind that we've designed this as a team event! Coordinating with your teammates is key!
Rachel Cooliooo. Thanks for that, Master Lear!
Lear We've also prepared some special prizes for the winning team, so sign up now to join the event!
Sawyer One more question. How exactly are we going to split all the participants into two teams?
Lear Heh. I've already decided on themes for each team! Everyone can join the team that suits them the best.
I've already appointed the leaders that'll head each team! Two for each, in fact!
I chose them based on some rumors I heard—that there are four Trainers who partnered up with some interesting Pokémon here on Pasio!
From what I've seen, they all perfectly fit my vision for each team's theme!
I'll even give everyone access to my wardrobe of clothes from other regions! So be grateful!
The flashier your outfit, the better! These costumes are going to help us keep Pasio in the spotlight!
Just wait until you see these team leaders in their special costumes. It'll blow you away!
Now then...<player>! Just like today, I'd like you to help with filming when we hold this event!
Why are you so surprised? Today was enough of a rehearsal, wasn't it?
Not to worry! You won't be the only one behind the cameras out there!
I've arranged for a whole crew of sync pairs to be out and about filming all these battles!
I even have other things planned, as well! For example—
Sawyer Young master! It's time for your next appointment!
Lear Already? But I'm not done yet!
Oh, all right! If you want to know what else we have in store for this event, you can check it out when it starts!
Rachel Okie dokie, that's all for now! See you all on the battlefield, everyone!


  • Team Huddle
Name Text
(Diantha and Hilda face-off with Guzma and Jasmine in the Battle Villa)
Diantha Let's do our utmost and battle to our heart's content.
Guzma Yeah. No hard feelings, even if we beat ya down!
Diantha Let's head back, Hilda.
Hilda Let's do this, Diantha! We're definitely gonna win!
Guzma Peh. If we're doin' this, OUR team'll win it all and have the last laugh!
Jasmine I-I'll do my best to support you!
The leaders of each team have exchanged a few words and are headed back to their base camps!
And now, without further ado...it's time to kick off the Battle of the Golden Spheres!
Participants! Are you ready?!
Let the games begin!
(Transition to Guzma's team in the forest)
Guzma All right, peeps! We've got this in the bag!
Koga Fwahahaha! Our reliable general is leading his troops from the front lines!
Let's be on our way, Janine!
Janine Yes, Father!
Erika Oh dear. Look at all this hustle and bustle.
Valerie We should probably head out, too.
Falkner Hurry! There's no time to lose!
Jasmine W-wait for me! It's really hard to move in this costume...
??? There's no need to rush, m'lady. Go at your own pace.
(Grimsley appears in his Alolan outfit)
Grimsley I'll stay by your side and help you out.
Jasmine Th-thank you!
(Transition to Diantha's team in the Battle Villa)
Hilda So your partner Pokémon Keldeo is in its Resolute Form, huh?
I've heard that it's a Pokémon that changes form when its resolve for battle is strong!
Diantha I see! I've also heard stories of your partner Pokémon, Diancie, back in the Kalos region.
They say that its pink, glimmering body is the loveliest sight in the whole world.
Wikstrom Pardon the interruption! Diantha, how would you like us to approach this battle?
Diantha Let's see... Perhaps we should discuss this as a team.
Lt. Surge If this is a search for golden spheres, we should probably split up to find them!
Siebold Hmm... Traveling as a large group might be safer if we run into anyone who'll try to attack us...
But that also means we'd lose range and mobility, so it might not be the best option for this event.
Diantha It does sound like it'd be better to spread out and search rather than stay together, then.
Glacia I see. So it's decided, right? Our plan is to spread out and look for those spheres?
Fantina Oui! Everyone on our team is strong, and we'll all be fine even when we're apart!
Diantha Very well! Ahem!
Henceforth, we'll spread out our forces and expand our reach!
Onward, my troops! Let's find those golden spheres before our opponents do and claim ourselves a victory!
Korrina All right! I'm so ready for this!
Wikstrom 'Tis time to draw the famed blade of hardened Steel!
Diantha I'm counting on you, Your Highness.
Hilda I'm counting on you, too, my knight in shining armor!
Diantha Let's find those golden spheres! Make haste!

Name Text
(Glacia, Siebold and Wikstrom find a golden sphere in a cave)
Wikstrom 'Tis a sphere of gold! This is what we've been looking for, no?
Glacia Quick, let's take it back to our camp at once!
Siebold Just like in cooking, you can't let your guard down until the final touches are in place.
Wikstrom Aye, you speak the truth. We shan't let our guards down as we return.
(Transition to the group in the forest)
Wikstrom I didn't expect we'd have to traverse this forest to return to our base camp...
I fear we may be encroaching on enemy territory!
??? Fwahahaha! Halt right there!
(Janine and Koga appear)
Janine If you want to pass through this forest, you'll have to battle us!
Wikstrom Alas! Two members of the opposing team!
Koga I'm afraid you're mistaken.
We're not the only ones here!
(Guzma appears)
Guzma Yo, yo, yo! It's your boy, Guzma!
Siebold Oh no! Their leader is here, too?!
Guzma You went through all that trouble of bringing that golden sphere here just so we can have it? Thanks, we'll take it!
It's ours now! Hand it over!
Glacia Absolutely not. If you're asking for a battle, a battle is what you'll get!
Wikstrom No matter what great forces stand before us, we shall fight with valor till the very end!
Guzma Heh. That so? Then I guess I just have to take it by force!
(Guzma, Janine, and Koga battle and defeat Glacia, Siebold, and Wikstrom)
Wikstrom We crumble in defeat...
Guzma Bahaha! Sorry, dude, this golden sphere is ours now! One down!
(Transition to Grimsley and Jasmine battling and defeating a group of Trainers)
Jasmine Take this!
Ace Trainer Aw, man... They're so strong!
Pokémon Ranger Let's retreat!
(The Trainers leave)
Jasmine Phew... We did it!
Grimsley Well played, m'lady!
Jasmine Um...is it just me, or have we not moved much since we left camp?
Grimsley It's not just you. We haven't actually gone very far at all.
Jasmine I knew it...
Grimsley But that's because that costume is limiting your movement. It's not your fault.
Jasmine What should we do? At this rate, we won't find any golden spheres!
Grimsley Don't sweat it. Let's just take it slow and steady, one step at a time.
Jasmine No, I can't take it easy! I want to support our team!
Grimsley Hmm...
Well, there is one way to do that... A way that uses your solid defensive moves to our advantage.
Jasmine What do you mean?
Grimsley Well, hear me out...
(Screen fades to black, then back)
Jasmine I see!
Grimsley Whaddya think? Pretty good strategy, right?
Jasmine I love it! Let's give it a shot!
We're heading into enemy territory!


  • Turning Tables
Name Text
(Hilda battling Erika, Falkner, and Valerie in town)
Erika We've got you cornered now. You won't get away!
Valerie Are you sure you don't want to surrender?
Falkner There's no way you can beat us when it's three of us versus just one of you!
Hilda This is bad!
Rewind to before Hilda was cornered by Erika and the others...
Rising Star Awesome! We found a golden sphere! That was easier than I thought!
Hilda Yeah, we're doing great!
At this rate, winning'll be a cin—
Hm?
(Hilda notices Falkner spying on them)
Rising Star What's wrong?
Hilda I saw someone moving in the shadows just now.
Collector Y-you mean someone from the other team is here?
Hilda Yeah, I think so. But they're not making a move yet...probably because they don't have enough backup to take us on.
Hmm... That gives me an idea.
(Fade to black, then back)
Rising Star N-no way! That's risky!
Collector I'm not sure if we'll be able to buy you enough time to do that...
Rising Star If only we were as strong as you, Hilda. That'd be a different story...
Hilda You'll be fine! We fought together all the way here, didn’t we?
I know you two can do it. Can I count on you?
Rising Star Um...OK! If you say so, we'll give it a try!
Hilda Yeah! Next time we see each other, it'll be with smiles on our faces, OK?
And back to the present...
Hilda Ooof!
Erika Oh, are you OK? I hope we didn't overdo it.
Valerie Sorry that we've cornered you like this...but a battle is a battle!
Falkner Wow, these two are so easygoing yet so tough...
(A crowd forms around them)
Camper Whoa, check it out!
Hiker Look! The Battle of the Golden Spheres is happening right here in town!
Erika Oh dear. It seems we've drawn a crowd.
Hilda Heh heh heh...
Valerie Why are you laughing?
Hilda Running away was just part of our strategy! Time to turn these tables around!
(Keldeo appears and attacks Erika, Falkner, and Valerie's Pokémon)
Erika Eeep!
Falkner Wh-what?
(Diantha appears)
Diantha Sorry to keep you waiting, Your Highness!
Hilda Not at all! You arrived just in time!
Falkner Reinforcements! When did she have time to contact them?
Hilda I knew for a fact that I was being followed! So I lured you here...all while pretending to be alone!
My teammates bought me some time!
Falkner Darn. So it was all a ruse!
Diantha Let's go, Your Highness!
Hilda Yes, my valiant knight!
(Diantha and Hilda defeat Erika, Falkner, and Valerie)
Valerie Oh dear... They really have turned the tables on us!
Falkner I guess we have no choice but to surrender!
Hilda All right! Now we've got two golden spheres!
Youngster Wow! That was amazing!
Black Belt What a fantastic battle!
Diantha I think the audience liked that! I'd say your efforts to captivate everyone with your battle have been a huge success!
Hilda R-really?
Well, I'm still nowhere near as good as you or Lisia, though...
Diantha Are you sure? Look, Keldeo is praising you for a job well done, too!
Hilda Thanks!
Keldeo... I heard that you change forms when you feel resolute.
I wanna be just like you. I'm gonna keep working at making my battles look super awesome to keep my audiences excited!
Diantha What a fantastic resolution!
Changes you make on the inside will shine through in what you do.
Hilda C'mon, Diancie. You should get ready, too! We're gonna shine like never before!
Diantha Well then, shall we return to base camp?
I'll escort you to your destination, Your Highness!
Hilda *chuckle* Thank you!


  • The Final Stretch
Name Text
Guzma has brought one of the golden spheres back to his team's base camp!
Guzma Ready to get back in the game, Buzzwole?
Yeah? All right, time to really do some damage!
Street Thug Guzma, sir! The enemy stole our golden sphere!
Guzma What?!
Street Thug My bad! We weren't careful enough.
Guzma No worries. If they stole it from us, let's just steal it right back!
No sense cryin' over it. Let’s go!
Street Thug Thank you! And sorry for the inconvenience, sir!
Guzma Hmph. Even if they've taken our golden sphere, they still have to take it all the way back to their camp.
So all we gotta do is storm right into their territory!
(Fantina, Korrina, and Lt. Surge with a golden sphere)
Korrina Well, that was easier than I thought! We got a golden sphere!
Fantina Oui! Let's bring it back to camp immediately!
Lt. Surge Yeah! Even though the other team tried to stop us, they never stood a chance!
Korrina Wait, look! Isn't that one of the leaders of the other team?
(Jasmine appears)
Jasmine Do you know about the Steel type?
They're very hard, cold, sharp...
and really strong!
Ace Trainer (1) Korrina! Lt. Surge! Fantina! I'm so sorry! We lost!
Ace Trainer (2) And they took our golden sphere...
Jasmine Nobody gets past me!
Lt. Surge Heh. We won't let you block us!
Korrina We'll break through your defense and get back to our camp!
(Jasmine battles and defeats Fantina, Korrina, and Lt. Surge)
Fantina C'est magnifique! What a perfect defense!
Lt. Surge They took our golden sphere...
Korrina L-let's retreat for now! There's no way we're getting past that defense!
(Fantina, Korrina, and Lt. Surge leave)
Jasmine We did it! Now we've got two of these golden spheres!
Grimsley That was some impressive defense, m'lady.
Guzma Heh. Not bad, Princess.
(Transition to Diantha and Hilda meeting Guzma and Jasmine in the forest)
Diantha Oh my...
Guzma 'Sup. You're late.
Look. We've got two spheres on our side, and you've got two on yours...
So all the spheres still in play are here in one spot!
Diantha Yes, that does seem to be the case.
Which means this battle will decide the winner once and for all!
Jasmine We won't let you take any of our spheres!
We'll take you down and win the game!
Hilda That's my line! Losing's not an option for us, either!
I'm gonna stand out and win this battle!
Guzma All five golden spheres are gonna be ours!
I'll rip that victory away from you if it's the last thing I do!
Diantha That's the spirit! I'd expect no less from a worthy opponent!
Let's have ourselves a proper duel!
(Grimsley watches from afar)
Grimsley I guess it'd be uncouth of me to jump in at this point... I'll bow out and let our leaders decide the battle.
I'd much rather watch how this plays out as a spectator anyway. Which team will tip the odds in their favor?
The Battle of the Golden Spheres is finally reaching peak intensity!
Both teams are raring to go!
Guzma Destroy!
Diantha Come! We'll take you on!
