Sweet Shenanigans (Japanese: 愛のスイーツ大作戦! The Great Love Sweets Operation!) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile and Bea (Palentine's 2022) & Vanilluxe.
During this event, players could earn two types of tickets from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra tickets were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
This event featured the Battle Challenge, 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 addition, players could earn a medal for completing the first five story areas in the event.
The story areas Marnie's Cheer and Bea's Secret could be unlocked by purchasing Marnie's Letter and Bea's Letter, respectively, from the shop. Completing these areas rewarded the player with Marnie's Fudge Heart and Bea's Truffle Hearts, respectively. These four items are not automatically exchanged for coins.
First run
The event first ran from January 31 to February 19, 2022. The "Marnie Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile for the duration of the event, and the "Bea Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Bea (Palentine's 2022) & Vanilluxe starting on February 2, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event.
In this run, the two types of items that players could earn were Sweet Tickets and Sweet Tickets S. The player could battle using Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile or Bea (Palentine's 2022) & Vanilluxe to obtain +0.6× bonus tickets; Serena (Palentine's 2021) & Whimsicott or Dawn (Palentine's 2021) & Alcremie to obtain +0.4× bonus tickets; and any unlisted Ice- or Steel-type sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus tickets.
Second run
The event reran from February 6 to 23, 2023. The "Super Spotlight Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile, Bea (Palentine's 2022) & Vanilluxe, Serena (Palentine's 2021) & Whimsicott, and Dawn (Palentine's 2021) & Alcremie for the duration of the event.
In this run, the two types of items that players could earn were Sweet Tickets B and Sweet Tickets B+. The player could battle using Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile or Bea (Palentine's 2022) & Vanilluxe to obtain +0.6× bonus tickets; Serena (Palentine's 2021) & Whimsicott, Dawn (Palentine's 2021) & Alcremie, Mallow (Palentine's 2023) & Appletun, or Elesa (Palentine's 2023) & Togetic to obtain +0.4× bonus tickets; and any unlisted Ice- or Steel-type sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus tickets.
If the player had obtained Marnie's Letter or Bea's Letter in the previous run, the area Marnie's Cheer or Bea's Secret would be unlocked immediately. If the player exchanged tickets for these letters in the Shop, the duplicate letter would be converted into a 3★ Power-Up. However, playing through Marnie's Cheer or Bea's Secret again would not give the player a duplicate of Marnie's Fudge Heart or Bea's Truffle Hearts.

Bea | All over town, that sweet, sweet aroma... |
Bea | My heart is full just from being surrounded by the scent of baked goods... |
Marnie | She's practically melting... I hope my presents make everyone just as happy as you look right now! |

(Pokémon Center) | |
Bea | So this Palentine's Day on Pasio... It's an event for showing thanks to others by giving them sweets, I hear. |
Marnie | Yup. That's what I've heard. It sounds like some people also give presents to a person they fancy, too. I hear if you walk around town this time of year, you can see a lot of couples givin' each other gifts. |
Bea | What a lovely event. The only problem is, it's difficult to focus on my training when the smell of baked goods is in the air. |
Marnie | Come to think of it, didn't Dawn and Serena mention that they've made something for Palentine's Day before? I wanna learn from them how to make some homemade chocolates! Wanna come with me? We can make them together! |
Bea | Chocolates? Oh, I couldn't... I-I've got training to do... Ack! <player>! Were you listening to us just now? |
Marnie | This is a secret, OK?! Especially from my big bro and Gloria! If you keep it a secret, maybe I'll make some for you, too! |

(Town) | |
??? | Arrrgh! |
Masked Man | There's couples everywhere! We can't just sit by and watch this! C'mon! Somebody's gotta take a stand and fix this nonsense... |
(Team Break proceeds to cause trouble) | |
Camper | Ack! Hey! That guy just stole my present! |
Ace Trainer (1) | Aw, thanks! I'm sure I'll love it—Wait... This has somebody else's name on it. |
Ace Trainer (2) | Huh? That's not the present I made for you! How'd it get swapped?! |
Masked Woman | Tee-hee-hee! Mission accomplished. |
(Marnie appears) | |
Marnie | I really gave this chocolate-makin' thing my best shot and made 'em extra sweet... I sure hope they like it. |
??? | Hah! Thanks for the chocolate, sucker! |
Marnie | Wha—?! |
(Team Break appears) | |
Masked Man | We're the Champions of Justice—out to save the world from this twisted trash tradition you call Palentine's Day! We are...Team Heartbreak! You'll see! We're going to wreck Palentine's Day for everyone! |
(Team Heartbreak leaves) | |
Marnie | Hey! Where do you weirdos think you're going with those?! |
(Marnie chases after Team Break, Gloria, Piers, and the player appear) | |
Marnie | I thought I saw them run this way... |
Piers | Hey, Sis. I've been lookin' for ya. |
Marnie | Oh! Hey! |
Gloria | <player> said he/she saw you earlier, so we all came to find you! |
Piers | I wanted to sing you a song for Palentine’s Day. |
Marnie | Aw, that sounds amazing! It's just—I'm a little tied up at the moment! You haven't seen any weirdos around here calling themselves Team Heartbreak, have you? They stole the presents I made! Then they prattled on about how they're out to wreck Palentine's Day or somethin'! I put a lot of love into those presents... |
Piers | ... ... ... So that's what happened. Don't worry, Sis. No need to be sad. 'Cause your big bro's gonna find those punks and teach 'em a lesson! |
Marnie | Really? You'll help me out? |
Piers | Course I will. You lot don't mind coming along, do you? |
Gloria | No, not at all! |
Piers | Let's split up and find 'em. Gloria and I'll go this way. |
Marnie | OK. <player>, I'll be with you, then. There's no way I'm lettin' those jerks keep my Palentine's Day presents! |
(Bea appears in her Palentine's outfit) | |
Bea | Oh. You two seem a bit flustered. Is everything all right? |
Marnie | Um... Actually, some chocolate— |
Bea | Chocolate?! Who said anything about me sneaking out to eat chocolate? |
Marnie | Huh? No, I was just saying someone's stolen the chocolate I made... |
Bea | O-oh, I see... Hang on—someone stole your chocolate?! |
Marnie | Yeah... Hear me out, will ya? |
Bea | How completely unacceptable! You worked so hard to make that chocolate, and they've gone and stolen it?! Unbelievable! I want to help you find them! |
Marnie | Thanks, Bea! |
Bea | I'll have to hold off on finding my own dessert until this is resolved... |
Marnie | Hm? Did you say something, Bea? |
Bea | Oh, it's nothing! Don't mind me! Let's go catch Team Heartbreak and give them a good scolding! |

Marnie | Where did Team Heartbreak go... |
Bea | Hey, look over there. |
(Masked Man watching a Beauty and her Ponyta) | |
Masked Man | Oh wow... Still as beautiful as ever. |
Bea | Halt right there! |
Marnie | You're planning on stealing presents from those two, aren't ya! |
Masked Man | H-huh? Wait, I've got no idea what you're talking about, honest! |
Marnie | You're not a member of Team Heartbreak, then? |
Masked Man | What? Wh-who's that? I may be in Team Break... but I don't know nothing about Team Heartbreak! I swear! |
Bea | The fact that you're in Team Break makes you rather suspicious. |
Marnie | Yeah. Why were you watching that sync pair, anyway? |
Masked Man | I was trying to figure out the best way to express my thanks to them... Y'see, they helped me out before, when I was injured. |
Bea | They didn't run off at the sight of your Team Break mask? |
Masked Man | Well, I wasn't wearing it when they saw me. My mask broke when I got hurt. I was a nasty mess, but they carried me all the way back into town. It was such a beautiful gesture, y'know? I mean, I was completely awestruck! |
Marnie | Well, I guess that makes sense since they were so kind to you... |
Bea | I don't know, I feel like any decent person would have done the same. |
Masked Man | Are you kidding me? She's the most angelic creature I've ever seen! |
Marnie | Sure... |
Masked Man | Look at the way her mane flutters in the wind! |
Marnie | Um... |
Masked Man | And those soft, red flames glowing with warmth and kindness! |
Marnie | Uh...hang on. So when you said you were awestruck, you meant... |
Masked Man | Ponyta, of course! I mean, who wouldn't be over the moon after an angel like that practically saves your life! |
Bea | Huh. I... OK. Well. That certainly wasn't what I was expecting to hear, but I suppose Palentine's Day IS all about showing thanks to those you care about. |
Marnie | True. It sounds like it was a pretty life-changing moment for you. I get why you'd want to give them a proper thank-you! But you need to stop worrying about it so much! Just march over there and tell them how ya feel. |
Masked Man | What if they get scared of me 'cause I'm in Team Break... |
Marnie | Forget about Team Break for a minute, all right? Just go over there and be yourself! |
Bea | I agree. I think you should take off that mask, walk up to them, and let them know how thankful you are. |
Masked Man | But...I'm in Team Break! I can't just betray my comrades like that! I do want to thank them, though... Ohhhh, what do I do? |
Marnie | Once you're ready to say something to them, come see me, all right? I'll lend you a hand. But if you get up to any trouble with Team Break, I won't be so nice. Come on. Let's go. |
Masked Man | What do I doooo... |
- Show of Gratitude

(Bea, Gloria, Marnie, Piers, and the player reunite in town) | |
Marnie | No traces of 'em whatsoever, huh... |
Piers | Where would they even hide? |
Gloria | Why don't we try a different approach? Maybe instead of looking for them, we can get them to come to us! Here, I've got an idea... |
(Transition to the Beauty and a Pokémon Ranger) | |
Beauty | What? A Palentine's Day battle featuring Leon and Diantha?! |
Pokémon Ranger | Yeah! After the battle, they're even doing a meet-and-greet with their fans! |
Beauty | Oh, I have to be there! I'd love to give Diantha a present! |
Masked Man | A Palentine's Day battle? No, I can't be thinking about that! I still have to decide what to do! |
Beauty | OK. I'll see you later, then! ... ... ...?! Team Break?! |
Masked Man | Oh no! |
Beauty | C'mon, Ponyta! Let's chase him away! Huh? What's wrong? |
Masked Man | Eeep! |
(The Masked Man leaves) | |
Beauty | Weird. Why do I get the feeling that I've seen that guy before? |
(Transition to the forest) | |
Masked Man | They saw me! But I got away somehow... But that look in Ponyta's eyes... Did she...recognize me? And because of that, she let me go? Even though she knew this time that I'm in Team Break? Why did I spend so much time worrying?! |
(The Masked Man removes his mask) | |
Swimmer | I HAVE to tell them how thankful I am! |
(Transition the player's group in town) | |
Bea | The time to battle has come! |
Marnie | I've been wonderin'... Why'd you partner up with Vanilluxe? |
Bea | It's...to train myself to resist temptation. I met Vanilluxe when I was training on a snowy mountain. I've been training myself to resist craving sweets, even when faced with such a yummy-looking Pokémon. |
Marnie | Could it be that you've got a bit of a sweet too— |
??? | Hey there! |
(The Swimmer appears) | |
Bea | His mask is gone!/It's that guy from Team Break!: You've finally made it. |
Marnie | So you've decided what you're gonna do? |
Swimmer | Yeah... I have to be honest about my feelings. |
Marnie | OK. All that's left is to get them a present, then! |
Bea | How about something sweet? |
Marnie | Uh...sure, I think makin' some chocolates might be nice... |
Bea | Chocolates! Yes, that's an excellent choice! |
Swimmer | OK! Please help me make them! |
Marnie | Sure thing! I can teach you how to make the sweetest chocolates ever! |
Bea | I'll help you out, too! |
(Transition the player's group meeting Dawn and Serena at Professor Bellis's Lab) | |
Marnie | Hey! Could you two help me out again? |
Dawn | Yeah, leave it to us! |
Serena | Bea! Lookin' good! Looks like the clothes I picked out match you perfectly! |
Bea | Thank you for your help, Serena. I was able to walk around town without being recognized. |
Serena | Always happy to help! But honestly, look at how cute you are! |
Bea | Oh! Really? |
Marnie | All right! Let's get started on these desserts! |

(Diantha and Leon battle in town) | |
Leon | You live up to your reputation, Champion Diantha! |
Diantha | I'm also happy to face an opponent as fierce as you, Leon! |
Gloria | Welp, looks like they're gonna battle for real! |
Piers | Fine by me. If they're enjoyin' it, it'll be a more convincing ploy. That works in our favor. |
Masked Man | *snort* Gimme a break. A Palentine's battle? We're gonna steal all those presents from their fans—down to the very last one! |
Marnie | Bingo. We know you're plannin' on making a mess outta this match, but we're not gonna let you do that! |
Masked Man | Ugh! No need to deal with these brats! Let's go! |
(Team Heartbreak attacks the Beauty and her Ponyta, the Swimmer protects them) | |
Swimmer | ... ... ... |
Beauty | Oh! You're that guy who was injured that one time... |
Masked Man | Hey! Aren't you one of us? Where'd you put your mask?! |
Beauty | Wait... You're in Team Break? |
Gloria | C'mon. We've got to help him! |
Marnie | Wait! Let's wait for him to say what he's gonna say first. Just watch! |
Masked Woman | What, so he's, like, a traitor? Let's punish him! |
Bea | I'll have to ask you to refrain. If you truly are that hungry for a battle, we'll take you on. |
Swimmer | I won't let you lay a single finger on them! |
Masked Man | Bwahahaha! Look at you! You're so scared, your legs are shaking! |
Marnie | Pull it together! You know what you wanna say, right? |
Masked Man | Y-yeah! I have to say it! |
Marnie | I believe in you! My cheers will really get you goin'! |
(The Swimmer battles and defeats Team Heartbreak) | |
Swimmer | W-we won! |
Marnie | Well done! Leave the rest to us! |
(Bea and Marnie battles and defeats the rest of Team Heartbreak) | |
Bea | It's over. |
Masked Woman | How can they look like that yet be so strong? |
Marnie | Don't let your guard down just 'cause we're cute! We'll eat you right up! My partner Mawile is fierce AND cute! |
(Transition to the group with Diantha and Leon) | |
Leon | Our match got canceled, so we'll have it another day, huh. Well, even if everything did go according to plan, it's a shame we couldn't finish our battle. |
Diantha | It was just getting exciting, too. |
Swimmer | I'm glad you're both safe! |
Beauty | Um... So you're in Team Break? |
Bea | Put that aside for now, and try to see the person behind the mask. |
Beauty | ... ... ... Um... Thank you for your help just now. |
Swimmer | No, I should be the one thanking you! Thank you so much for helping me when I was injured! Given it's Palentine's Day and all, I wanted to do something to thank you... |
Beauty | Oh! So you made chocolates for me and Ponyta? I'm sorry, but my Ponyta actually isn't very fond of sweets. |
Swimmer | Oh... I didn’t know... |
Beauty | Ponyta's...eating it? I've never seen her eat something sweet with such gusto! |
Swimmer | Ahaha! I'm so glad she understands how I feel! |
Masked Man | Aww, why do they get to have all the fun?! |
Marnie | Sheesh... If ya want presents that bad, I'll make ya some chocolates, OK? But you'd better shape up! |
Masked Man | Presents? For us? Yippee! Thanks! I promise I won't do anything bad ever again! |
Gloria | I sure hope so... |
Piers | Quickly moved are the hearts of fickle souls... |
Marnie | By the way, what happened to those presents you stole from me? |
Masked Man | Uh...sorry! I couldn't help myself! They looked so tasty that I ate 'em all up! |
Marnie | What?! Oh no... Um... Big Bro... Gloria... Actually, the presents they stole were supposed to be for you two. |
Piers | Really, Sis?! So...you really were plannin' on givin' me some chocolates... |
Gloria | That's too bad, huh. I know it's disappointing not to get a present... |
Piers | Well...actually, I've gotten a present, haven't I. It's not something I can eat, but I definitely felt those feelings Marnie was sendin' me. |
Gloria | Y'know what? Me too! I'm just happy to know how you feel, Marnie! |
Marnie | Oh, cut it out. You're embarrassin' me! |
Leon | I suppose our little mission to spread the thanks on Palentine's Day was a huge success! |
Diantha | Seems so. |
Marnie | Why do I always hafta deal with these sweet, softhearted feelings? Seriously. |
Bea | Your words are so sweet, they've even started to melt my heart, Marnie. Sweet things are the best! |

Marnie | Sorry for callin' you here like this. Here. This is some homemade fudge I made for Palentine's Day. Team Heartbreak didn't actually steal the present I made for you, <player>. Thanks!: I'm glad you like it. I'll treasure this present!: I'm glad and all, but make sure you eat it. I've got to redo the presents I made for Gloria and my big bro. That means you're the only one gettin' a present right now, <player>... So don't tell anyone yet, OK? You helped us out again, big time. Thanks for always bein' there for us. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna be relying on you forever, OK? If you're ever in trouble, you can count on me! I can help you out! For example... When you're about to take on a huge challenge, I've got your back! My cheers will really get you pumped! If you decide to give something your all, I'll be there, rootin' for ya with everything I've got! Just leave it to me! |

Bea | I'm relieved that everyone is safe after all that chaos Team Heartbreak caused. It's all thanks to you, <player>. Actually, I've got a Palentine's Day gift for you. I made some truffles with Marnie and the others, you see... And I made some for you as well! You've been a huge help every day, so please accept this token of my gratitude. Maybe we can share it!: Oh...really? Share it? Looks yummy!: I think so, too. I did make a huge batch, so maybe we can have some together! Mmmm... It's sooo delicious... Er... Ahem. This is a reward for keeping to my strict training regimen every day... But please don't tell anyone you saw me smiling after eating something sweet! Let's just keep that between you and me, OK? |
