Joyful Music with Everyone Story Event returns to Pokémon Masters EX, alongside Seasonal Scouts featuring past Holiday-themed Sync Pairs

The Holiday season continues in Pokémon Masters EX, , bringing gifts of returning seasonal content for trainers. With only a week to go until Christmas, the game is seeing a re-run of last year's Joyful Music with Everyone Story Event, together with Seasonal Scouts featuring Holiday-themed Sync Pairs going all the way back to 2019.

Story Event: Joyful Music with Everyone
In this Story Event running through to December 30th, at 9:59pm (PST), Lillie and her Primarina create a musical ensemble together with a group of other trainers, with the aim of brightening up the upcoming Pasio winter party.. This event originally ran from December 13th to 31st, 2024.

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, a 5★ Power-Up, and Event Medals. Other rewards able to be obtained include Special Skill Feathers 64 and 65, and Lucky Cookies for Lillie (Holiday 2024) & Primarina, Bugsy (Holiday 2024) & Kricketune, and Elio & Primarina.

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:

• Lillie (Holiday 2024) & Primarina, Bugsy (Holiday 2024) & Kricketune: +60% (×1.6) bonus rewards
• Viola (Holiday 2023) & Vivillon, Sycamore (Holiday 2023) & Gogoat, Jasmine (Holiday 2022) & Ampharos, Whitney (Holiday 2022) & Sawsbuck, Leon (Holiday 2021) & Calyrex, Nessa (Holiday 2021) & Eiscue, Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss, Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey, Rosa (Holiday 2019) & Delibird, Siebold (Holiday 2019) & Octillery: +40% (×1.4) bonus rewards
• All other Sync Pairs with the Alola or Johto Theme Skills: +20% (×1.2) bonus rewards

These bonuses stack additively, so having a team consisting of Lillie (Holiday 2024) & Primarina, Viola (Holiday 2023) & Vivilon, and Sycamore (Holiday 2023) & Gogoat 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 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.
