Throwback Challenge
Throwback Challenge (Japanese: メモリアルチャレンジ Memorial Challenge) is a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. It allows players to rematch previous opponents – either from event battles or from permanently available battles – and earn special rewards.
Battle Rewind
This event ran from February 28 to March 31, 2022. It featured both Full-Force Battles and Battle Challenges that were previously available in events. Players could complete event missions by clearing Full-Force Battles without letting their sync pairs faint, and by clearing Battle Challenges with teams using various theme skills, earning various rewards.
Two Full-Force Battle and two Battle Challenge areas were made available each day for the first six days of the event.
