Halloween celebrations begin in Pokémon Masters EX, as Lacey debuts her Seasonal Sync Pair with Whimsicott in the Mischievous Lacey Story Event

It's that time of year again, and a new wave of fresh seasonal content is coming to Pokémon Masters EX, with Lacey debuting her new Seasonal Sync Pair with Whimsicott alongside the new Mischievous Lacey Story Event in celebration of the spooky season.

Story Event: Mischievous Lacey
The new Mischievous Lacey Story Event sees Lacey joining in on the Midnight Parade while looking for ideas for a new event as Pasio Academy. The event will run through to October 31st, at 10:59pm (PDT).

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 Support Move Candy Coin, 5★ Power-Ups, and Event Medals. Other rewards able to be obtained include Special Skill Feather 101, custom Sync Orbs for Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott, and Lucky Cookies for Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott and Sabrina & Alakazam.

As usual for events of this type, players will have an increased chance of receiving 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:

• Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott: +60% (×1.6) bonus rewards
• Bellelba & Swoobat, Iono (Fall 2024) & Flutter Mane, Shauntal (Fall 2024) & Froslass, Phoebe (Fall 2023) & Cofagrigus, Roxanne (Fall 2023) & Runerigus, Iris (Fall 2022) & Naganadel, Allister (Fall 2022) & Gourgeist, Caitlin (Fall 2021) & Sableye, Morty (Fall 2021) & Banette, Acerola (Fall 2020) & Mimikyu, Hilbert (Fall 2020) & Mightyena: +40% (×1.4) bonus rewards
• All other sync pairs with the Paldea Theme Skill: +20% (×1.2) bonus rewards

These bonuses stack additively, so having a team consisting of Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott, Bellelba & Swoobat, and Iono (Fall 2024) & Flutter Mane would grant a combined +140% (×2.4) 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 11:00pm (PDT).
• 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.

Lacey Seasonal Scout
Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott are making their debut in a set of Seasonal Scouts alongside the launch of the Mischievous Lacey Story Event. The Lacey Seasonal Scout and Lacey Seasonal Tiered Scout will run through to October 31st, at 10:59pm (PDT). The associated Lacey Seasonal Featured Ticket Scout, and Lacey Seasonal Guaranteed Ticket Scout meanwhile will run through to November 7th, at 9:59pm (PST).

Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott are a Dark-type Support Sync Pair with a Field EX Role and the ability to Sync Terastal. When raised to 6★ EX, Lacey's outfit shifts to a white dress with pink accents.

The Lacey Seasonal Scout gives players bonus presents for the first three times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11, awarding Support Move Candy Coins each time. The Scout also includes a daily discount, where players can perform a single scout for ×100 paid gems. As the name suggests, these daily discounts can be used 1 time per day during the entire length of the scout.

In addition to the regular Seasonal Scout, players can also take advantage of a Lacey Seasonal Tiered Scout. This scouts has ten tiers, each of which is a Sync Pair Scout ×11. Players are able to scout once on each tier by using Paid Gems, with the amount of gems increasing with each tier. Additionally, Tiers 5 and 10 of the Scout grants the player special tickets to use in the associated Lacey Seasonal Featured Ticket Scout and Lacey Seasonal Guaranteed Ticket Scout.

Limited-Time Expedition Areas and Locations in the Trainer Lodge

Players will also be able to form a Special Team in this Expedition Area that can receive substantial amounts of Expedition Awards. Adding certain Sync Pairs to this Special Team will grant special bonuses to Discovery Level in addition to the normal change based on Expedition Skill. Drop-In Events will not appear for Special Teams on Expeditions. Once the limited-time expedition area disappears, Special Teams will be automatically disbanded, with any unclaimed items able to be received by going to the expedition screen.

Photo Frame and Background Missions
A special set of 3 missions are now available, allowing players to earn a special summer Photo Frame and Background to use in the Photo Creator.
