Pair up with Sync Pairs featuring Charizard in Pokémon Masters EX, with launch of new Special Co-op Event plus a returning Arc Suit Fair

Players will have opportunities to acquire multiple Sync Pairs featuring Charizard over the coming weeks in Pokémon Masters EX. Lance debuts his new Sync Pair in a set of Variety Scouts and the Lance's New Partner Pokémon Special Co-op Event, Arc Suit Leon & Charizard's Arc Suit Fair Scout makes a return, and everyone logging in before Christmas will receive a Guaranteed Ticket to team up with Sygna Suit Red & Charizard.

Sygna Suit Red Guaranteed Ticket Log-In Bonus
All players who log in before December 23rd at 9:59pm (PST) will receive a Sygna Suit Red Guaranteed Ticket, which as the name suggests can be used in the Sygna Suit Red Guaranteed Ticket Scout to receive Sygna Suit Red & Charizard for free. This Ticket Scout will remain available until December 30th, at 9:59pm (PST).

Lance Variety Scouts
Lance debuts his new Variety Sync Pair with Charizard today in this latest set of Variety Scouts. The Lance Variety Scout and Presents! Limit 3! Lance Variety Scout will run through to December 23rd, at 9:59pm (PST), while the associated Lance Guaranteed Variety Scout will continue until December 30th, at 9:59pm (PST).

Lance & Charizard are a Flying-type 5★ Strike (Physical) Role Sync Pair that can be raised to 6★ EX, and has an unlockable Field EX Role. They have the same costume as Lance & Dragonite, and do not have their own individual sync pair story.

The pair feature a fairly straightforward array of moves for players to perform a physical beatdown. When they enter battle, their The Caped Champion's Spirit Passive Skill sets them up by raising their Attack by six stat ranks, and their critical-hit rate and Physical Moves ↑ Next effect by three ranks each. They can immediately launch their beatdown through the single-target Giga Impact, and the multi-target Dragon King's Slash. The latter attack has an activation condition of Lance & Charizard using any move once, so you'll be continuously trading off between the two moves as the battle continues. Due to their Dragon's Ascent Passive Skill, both moves will be Flying-type and will never miss. Dragon King's Slash additionally doesn't have its power lowered by multiple targets, lands critical hits more easily, lowers all opponents Defense by two stat ranks, and increases Lance & Charizard's Physical Moves ↑ Next effect by two ranks if Charizard has already Mega Evolved.

Players will receive 1 Strike Move Candy Coin the first three times they do a Sync Pair Scout ×11 with the Lance Variety Scout. This scout also has a Daily Discount, where players can receive a single Sync Pair Scout each day for 100 Paid Gems.

In addition to the Lance Variety Scout, Trainers can also take advantage of a Presents! Limit 3! Lance Variety Scout, a special Sync Pair Scout requiring paid gems, that, as the name implies, can be used up to 3 times. Players will receive a 50% discount on their first Sync Pair Scout ×11 for this special Spotlight Scout, making it 1,500 Gems rather than the usual 3,000. As an added bonus, players will also receive bonus items every time they do a Sync Pair Scout ×11 for this special Spotlight Scout. The bonuses that are received are as follows:

• 1st Time (50% off)
  • Custom ★ Power Up for Lance & Charizard ×5
  • Custom Sync Orb for Lance & Charizard ×200
• 2nd Time
  • Custom ★ Power Up for Lance & Charizard ×5

• 3rd Time
  • 5★ Master Scout Ticket K ×1

The 5★ Master Scout Ticket K allows Trainers to use the Lance Guaranteed Variety Scout, ensuring they scout the Champion of Kanto and Johto.

Arc Suit Fair Scouts operate similar to Master Fairs, with an offering rate of 1% for the featured Arc Suit Sync Pair, and 12% for 5★ Sync Pairs (including the Arc Suit Sync Pair).

An additional Passive Skill also allows reduces their sync coutdown by three and increases their Special Moves ↑ Next effect by three ranks when they use their Max Move, allowing for a sequence of powerful hits to be put out in quick succession. Finally, their Almighty Fire Blast Buddy Move, which does extreme single-target damage, activates when an opponent is burned.
