Trainer Lodge
The Trainer Lodge (Japanese: トレーナーズサロン Trainer's Salon) is a location in Pokémon Masters EX introduced in August 2022 which enables the player character to interact with other sync pairs. Increasing friendship levels with sync pairs rewards the player with rare items including Certificates of Excellence, while achieving a friendship level of 100 unlocks a new Pokémon to pair with the guest Trainer. Only a select group of sync pairs can be interacted with in the Trainer Lodge, with Rosa available as the default Trainer for the tutorial.
The Trainer Lodge is unlocked after completing PML Arc: Chapter 1: New Adventure, New Goal.
Gameplay
Interactions
The player character starts the interaction by initiating a chat with a Trainer, and is given three topics of discussion to choose from. After the player selects a topic, the Trainer's reaction to it will determine the base number of points awarded:
- Super exciting!: 10 points
- Excitement building!: 7 points
- Interesting!: 5 points
In addition, bonus points will be added for each consecutive topic selected. For example, the second topic selected will earn 1 bonus point, the third topic selected will earn 2 bonus points, and so on. Thus, the longer the interaction lasts, the more points that will be earned for each topic selected.
The player continues to choose one of three discussion topics as the Trainer's attention wanes. Attention starts at 100%, and it drops for each topic chosen after the second topic. After the player chooses a topic, the interaction has a chance of ending if the Trainer's attention is less than 100%, so each interaction lasts for at least three topics. The chance of the interaction ending increases as the attention percentage decreases, with the lowest possible attention level being 0%.
Topics are associated with one of seven categories: Pokémon, Items, Friends, Hobbies, Fashion, Places, and Other. The Trainer is assigned a hot topic category from one of these categories for each interaction. Selecting a discussion topic of their hot topic category halves attention drop and can make the Trainer reach max vibes. Max vibes is a state that lasts for two topic selections, and while active, the Trainer's attention will not drop, the interaction will not end, and the amount of friendship points earned for each topic selection are doubled. Max vibes can only be reached once per interaction. If the Trainer's level is high enough (estimated at level 30 or above), there is a chance that the hot topic will be revealed at the start of the interaction.
The following table lists all the amounts of points that can be earned during each round of topic selection:
Topic number | Normal state | Max vibes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interesting | Excitement building | Super exciting | Interesting | Excitement building | Super exciting | |
1 | 5 | 7 | 10 | - | - | - |
2 | 6 | 8 | 11 | 12 | 16 | 22 |
3 | 7 | 9 | 12 | 14 | 18 | 24 |
4 | 8 | 10 | 13 | 16 | 20 | 26 |
5 | 9 | 11 | 14 | 18 | 22 | 28 |
6 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 20 | 24 | 30 |
7 | 11 | 13 | 16 | 22 | 26 | 32 |
8 | 12 | 14 | 17 | 24 | 28 | 34 |
9 | 13 | 15 | 18 | 26 | 30 | 36 |
10 | 14 | 16 | 19 | 28 | 32 | 38 |
11 | 15 | 17 | 20 | 30 | 34 | 40 |
12 | 16 | 18 | 21 | 32 | 36 | 42 |
13 | 17 | 19 | 22 | 34 | 38 | 44 |
14 | 18 | 20 | 23 | 36 | 40 | 46 |
15 | 19 | 21 | 24 | 38 | 42 | 48 |
A gift can be given to the Trainer to restore attention, refresh topics, and multiply the amount of friendship points earned at the end of the interaction. Gifts can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange and are specific to each sync pair. These come in standard, good, and awesome forms, with more valuable gifts giving greater boosts.
Once the interaction ends, friendship level with the Trainer will increase by the amount the friendship points earned. The interaction will also be given a rating based on the amount of friendship points earned before applying any gift or multiple-interaction bonuses:
- Great = 40 points or less
- Excellent = 41-79 points
- Wonderful = 80 points or more
The only effect the rating has on gameplay is that Trainers will use a different line of dialogue at the end of a Great or Excellent conversation than they do after a Wonderful conversation, with the dialogue after a Wonderful conversation indicating that they enjoyed the conversation more.
The "item" used to initiate an interaction is also called an interaction. Each day, interactions are automatically restored up to a maximum of three. If the player already has three or more interactions, no interactions will be restored that day. Players can also purchase Interaction Counts to restore interactions, and these can restore interactions beyond the three limit. Using interaction counts, the maximum number of interactions that can be stored is 10. All stored interactions can be used at once, which will multiply the friendship points depending on the number of interactions used (e.g. using up two interactions at once will double the points after completing the interaction).
If the app is closed before an interaction is completed, any interactions and items used during that interaction will be returned to the player the next time they return to the Trainer Lodge. Any interactions that have not yet been reclaimed do not count towards the player's total when interactions are restored at the beginning of the day. Thus, if the player uses all their interactions, closes the app before the interaction is completed, and then does not return to the Trainer Lodge until the next day (even if the player reopened the app on the first day), the player will receive all the interactions they had used in addition to the daily three being restored.
The location of the interaction can be chosen prior to the chat, with various locations unlocked as friendship level increases. Help items can also be used before the interaction to provide various benefits during the interaction. The primary method of obtaining these is to purchase them in the Lodge Exchange.
Once per day, a guest visiting the Trainer Lodge will give the player a random present. The guest giving the present will be the last Trainer that the player interacted with on the previous day. If that Trainer is un-invited from the Lodge, one of the other guests currently visiting will be chosen at random to offer the player a present. Items that the player may be gifted by guest Trainers include: help items, Lodge Stones, 1★ Friend Keys, Fiery / Soothing / Wistful Stones, Extracts, Co-op Sync Orbs, Level-Up Manuals, Power-Ups, Move Candy Coins, and 5★ Scout Tickets. The quality or quantity of items received by greeting a Trainer will improve as that Trainer's friendship level increases.
Gifts
Gifts can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. The boosts supplied by gifts differ on their value:
- Standard gifts: restores attention by 10, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by ×1.10.
- Good gifts: restores attention by 20, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by ×1.30.
- Awesome gifts: restores attention by 30, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by ×1.50.
The cost of a gift depends on the corresponding sync pair's role, as well as the quality of the gift itself:
Gift quality | Role | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strike | Tech | Field | Support | |
Standard gift | Fiery Crystal ×300 | Soothing Crystal ×300 | Wistful Crystal ×300 | |

Awesome gift | Ultra Fiery Crystal ×1,000 Fiery Stone ×1 |
Ultra Soothing Crystal ×1,000 Soothing Stone ×1 |
Ultra Wistful Crystal ×1,000 Wistful Stone ×1 |
As no Sprint units can currently be invited to the Trainer Lodge, the cost of their gifts is unknown.

Locations
Interaction locations are unlocked by increasing the Trainer's friendship levels. Different locations provide additional topics to be discussed. Once the player has unlocked multiple interaction locations with a particular Trainer, they can choose "Random" to interact with the Trainer at a random location outside of the Trainer Lodge.
Additional locations have been made available for the duration of certain seasonal events:
Location | Event | Additional topics |
---|---|---|
Fall (2022, 2023) | Ghosts, parades | |
Holiday (2022, 2023) | Snow, Ice types | |
New Year's (2023, 2024) | Dragon types, Normal types | |
Summer (2023, 2024) | Festivals, stars |
Friendship levels
All Trainers start at friendship level 1, with an initial level cap of 100. The friendship level cap can be increased with Friend Keys, up to a maximum level cap of 2,147,483,647. Increasing the friendship level through interactions provides various rewards for the player.
In the Invite Guests menu, the border around a Trainer's icon depends on their current friendship level:
- Lv 1: Bronze
- Lv 50: Silver
- Lv 100: Gold
- Lv 200: Green
- Lv 300: Blue
- Lv 400: Purple
- Lv 500: Orange
- Lv 700: Red
- Lv 1,000: Rainbow
Friendship Level-Up Rewards
Various rewards are earned when leveling up sync pairs, including Lodge Stones at every level (10 each level) which can be used to exchange for items and sync pairs in the Lodge Exchange. Reaching levels 10 and 30 unlock Friendship Stories with the Trainer, while levels 20 and 40 unlock Friend and Story Snapshots of the Trainer respectively. Increasing the level to 100 unlocks an additional Pokémon for the guest Trainer to pair with. Duplicates of this new sync pair (to raise sync move level) can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange with Lodge Stones.
Trainer photos and Friendship Stories can be viewed in the Scrapbook. Photos are given a default Bronze Frame, with Silver, Gold, Rainbow, and Special Frames successively unlocked by increasing the sync pair's move level from two to five. Raising the sync pair's potential to 6★ EX unlocks a holo foil texture for the photo.
Levels past 100 do not have special milestone rewards - they will only grant the standard 10 Lodge Stones per level.

Expeditions
Players can send several sync pairs on expeditions to explore various areas of Pasio and obtain items used as currency in the Lodge Exchange. Sync pairs involving the player character cannot be sent on expeditions, and two Trainers with the same name cannot be on the same expedition team. The expedition skill of each team member determines the discovery level for four categories of items that can be obtained: Fiery Crystals, Soothing Crystals, Wistful Crystals, and rare caches (chests that can contain rare items including Lodge Stones and 5★ Power-Ups). The discovery level of each item category can range from 0 to 10, with higher levels increasing the number and rarity of expedition rewards obtained.
On occasion, a Cheer On icon will be displayed above the Trainer set in the first slot of the expedition team, which increases the discovery levels of all categories by 1 for 12 hours. Expedition items can also be used to raise the team's discovery level. Most items increase the discovery level of one category by 2, while Omni Extracts increase all discovery levels by 1. Each expedition item lasts for 24 hours, and only one expedition item can be used at a time.
Up to two expedition teams can be created concurrently. Team A will automatically have a base discovery level of 1 for Fiery and Soothing Crystals, while Team B will have a base discovery level of 1 for Wistful Crystals and rare caches. Expedition teams are initially capped at three sync pairs, which can be increased to six by purchasing Expedition Team Slot +1 items in the Lodge Exchange.
Once per day, a Poké Ball will spawn at each expedition site, which when opened will contain an item including Tomes, 3★ Level-Up Manuals, Co-op Sync Orbs, Big Pearls, 1★ Friend Keys, and Lodge Stones.
Starting from version 2.25.0, there is a rare chance of a drop-in event occurring in one or both expedition teams each time the Expeditions screen is reloaded. During a drop-in event, the Trainers on the expedition team do not appear, being replaced by one or more Trainers who are not part of the expedition team visiting the expedition area. Examples of drop-in events include:
- Lear, Rachel, and Sawyer searching for Hoopa in a plains area. Hoopa is hiding behind a plant on the far side of the expedition site.
- Lisia showing off to her fans.
- Viola taking pictures of Elesa.
- Team Magma Grunts exploring a volcanic area.
- Team Galactic Grunts exploring a mountainous area.
- Maylene supervising the training of three Black Belts.
- Sonia and Mallow watching their Tsareena interact.
- Nanu offering a Youngster a choice between three Alolan Meowth.
When a drop-in event occurs, a Poké Ball will spawn in the area, containing more or rarer items than those found in the daily Poké Balls. If the daily Poké Ball in an area has not been collected before the drop-in event occurs, it cannot be collected until the Expeditions screen is reloaded, ending the drop-in event.
The following table details what items can be collected from Poké Balls in normal expedition areas and drop-in events:
When an additional interaction location is added during certain seasonal events, an additional expedition team becomes available, which exclusively explores the limited-time seasonal area. Sync pairs corresponding to the seasonal event will give a +1 bonus to the rare cache discovery level if added to this expedition team, on top of their usual expedition skill bonuses. Drop-in events cannot occur in limited-time expedition areas.
Expedition rewards
Expedition rewards are found every minute, and will accumulate up to one of two possible limits:
- A total of 30,000 crystals.
- A total of 100 rare caches.
Once either limit is reached, no further items will be discovered until the rewards are claimed. The player may claim these rewards at any time. When the duration of a limited-time expedition team ends, the player will receive all the crystals and rare caches that the team had gathered the next time the Expeditions screen is loaded.
Rare caches
Rare caches grant a random item from a set pool when opened. Caches of higher rarities tend to have rarer items, or items in larger quantities.
Discovery levels
The expedition team's discovery level affects the number and rarity of items obtained. Expedition rewards have a chance of being found once per minute as long as there is at least one Trainer on the expedition team.
Discovery Level | Fiery Crystal | Soothing Crystal | Wistful Crystal | Rare Cache | ||||||||

Expedition items
These items assist with increasing discovery levels and can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. Extracts can also be obtained as a random daily present from a guest in the Trainer Lodge.
Redecorating
Starting from version 2.30.0, players were given the ability to redecorate the Trainer Lodge. The player has three main ways of decorating the lodge: choosing a style, hanging up artwork and photos, and setting out plushies and replicas.
Styles
Choosing a style changes the appearance of the whole Trainer Lodge, including the color of the floor, walls, and furniture. By default, the Trainer Lodge uses the style "Normal", but additional styles can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. The player can only purchase each style once and may freely switch between any of the styles they own at any time.
- Note: The Team Rocket Style is only available to purchase after completing the Final Chapter of the Villain Arc.
Artwork and photos
The player can hang up to three pieces of artwork or photos in the Trainer Lodge at once: one on each of the bulletin boards in the center of the lodge, and one on the bulletin board on the far left side of the lodge. By default, nothing is hung on these bulletin boards.
The photos available to hang up are the same ones found in the Scrapbook; as soon as the player unlocks a snapshot in the Scrapbook, an unlimited number of copies of it can be placed on the bulletin boards in the center of the lodge.
Most artwork is obtained by exchanging crystals in the Lodge Exchange, and the player may only set out as many copies of a piece of artwork as they have obtained; that is, if the player wishes to put the same piece of artwork on multiple bulletin boards at the same time, they must purchase multiple copies of the artwork. The artwork is divided into three categories, based on their number:
- 1000s artwork has been previously used on the title screen for the game.
- 2000s artwork has been previously used as a splash screen when loading up the game.
- 3000s artwork was commissioned to promote various story chapters or events and shared on social media.
The only significant difference between the three categories of art is that 1000s and 2000s artwork has rectangular dimensions, while 3000s art has square dimensions. As a result, only 3000s art can be displayed on the square bulletin board, found on the far left side of the Trainer Lodge.
Once obtained, artwork and photos can also be set to display on loading screens. If multiple pictures are set to display on loading screens, one will be chosen at random each time a loading screen occurs.
There are three pieces of artwork that cannot be obtained through the Lodge Exchange.
Artwork | Description | How to obtain | Availability period |

The following table lists all artwork that can be obtained from the Lodge Exchange.
Replicas and plushies
The player can decorate the shelves in the center of the Trainer Lodge with up to nine replicas or plushies, arranged in a 3×3 grid. By default, nine replicas are placed on these shelves:
Objet | Description | |
---|---|---|
Pasio Tower | Can be used to decorate the Trainer Lodge. | |
Wooden Star | ||
Ice Tower | ||
Red Stone | ||
Moon Trophy | ||
Wooden Metronome | ||
Blue Tuning Fork | ||
Wonder Stone | ||
Star Trophy |
More replicas and plushies are available for purchase in the Lodge Exchange. There is one replica and one plushie corresponding to each Trainer who can be invited to the lodge, and these become available for purchase once the player reaches friendship level 100 with the corresponding Trainer. As with artwork, only one of each replica or plushie that the player owns can be displayed at a time. Players can purchase up to nine of each replica and plushie.
The cost of a replica or plushie depends on the role of the corresponding sync pair:
