2025's Tiny Courage, Big Thanks Story Event returns to Pokémon Masters EX, alongside Seasonal Scouts featuring past Palentine's-themed Sync Pairs

Palentine's in Pokémon Masters EX is once again bringing with it some returning seasonal content, with a re-run of last year's Tiny Courage, Big Thanks Story Event, together with Seasonal Scouts featuring past Palentine's Sync Pairs. Palentine's Day is just like Valentine's Day, only instead of celebrating romantic love, it's for celebrating your love for your friends and pals.

Story Event: Tiny Courage, Big Thanks
In a break from the usual tendency of Palentine's events to focus around cooking, this new Story event focused instead of more floral gifts! This event sees Marley relying on Erika's support when she decides to give bouquets of flowers to Elesa and Marnie as thanks for having helped to give her courage in the past. This event will run through to February 18th, at 9:59pm (PST).

This event follows the simplified format for Story Events, where players will collect Event Points as they complete battles, earning rewards based on the total amount of event points acquired instead of trading for specific desired rewards. Players will need to collect a total of 10,000 Event Points for this event in order to receive all possible rewards. Featured event rewards include 5★ Scout Tickets, Skill Items, a Tech Move Candy Coin, 5★ Power-Ups, and Event Medals. Other rewards able to be obtained include Special Skill Feathers 71 and 72, Custom Sync Orbs for Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, and Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis, and Lucky Cookies for Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis, and Mallow (Palentine's 2023) & Appletun.

Players will also acquire two different Letters by completing designated in this event, which can be used to unlock special stories, and receive gifts from both Marley and Erika. Other mission rewards include Gems, and Strike and Support Move Candy Coins.

As usual for events of this type, players will receive bonus rewards if they take on event battles using teams that feature specific sync pairs. The more of these sync pairs that players place in their lineup, the greater the bonus received. The applicable Sync Pairs and reward rates are as follows:

• Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis: +60% (×1.6) Bonus Rewards
• Victor (Palentine's 2024) & Greedent, Candice (Palentine's 2024) & Darmanitan, Mallow (Palentines 2023) & Appletun, Elesa (Palentines' 2023) & Togetic, Marnie (Palentines' 2022) & Mawile, Bea (Palentines' 2022) & Vannilluxe, Serena (Palentines 2021) & Whimsicott, Dawn (Palentines' 2021) & Alcremie, +40% (×1.4) Bonus Rewards
• All other Sync Pairs with the Sinnoh or Kanto Theme Skills: +20% (×1.2) bonus rewards

These bonuses stack additively, so having a team consisting of Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis, and Victor (Palentines' 2024) & Greedent would grant a combined +160% (×2.6) rewards.

Players should also note the following when playing this event:

• The number of plays available for Daily Extreme Battle 1 are reset every day at 10:00pm (PST).
• To participate, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.
• The sync pairs that appear as opponents in battle have different capabilities than those players can actually obtain.
• All mission completion rewards must be claimed within three days of the mission period ending.
• All Event Points collected during this event will be automatically deleted once the event is over.
