Pokémon Masters EX launches new Masters Day format, with a Triple Feature Master Fair Scout, plus Fair-Exclusive pairs in One-Time-Only Scouts

Pokémon Masters Day is here again in Pokémon Masters EX, but this time there's been a bit of an overhaul. Accompanying the usual collection of regular events and presents on offer is a Triple Feature Master Fair Scout, plus multiple One-Time-Only Scouts featuring Fair-exclusive Sync Pairs. Several Sync Pairs are also receiving Sync Grid upgrades alongside this monthly event.

Pokémon Masters Day first ran back in November 2021, and currently runs every month in Pokémon Masters EX from the 24th at 11:00pm (PDT), through to the 25th at 10:59pm (PDT). To claim presents, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.

Pika-Presents Log-In Bonus
All players who log in today will receive a special present of 500 gems from Pikachu.

Pika-Presents for Everyone
The usual Pika-Presents for Everyone battle returns for Pokémon Masters Day, featuring one-time rewards of Gems, ★5 Power-Ups, Strike Move Candy Coins, 5★-Guaranteed Scout Tickets, and other assorted items.

Special Pika-Challenge
Players can also take on the co-op battle Special Pika-Challenge to collect Pikachu Stickers to exchange for valuable rewards in the exchange menu. The new format hasn't changed this battle itself, however the amount of Pikachu Stickers earned per battle has been boosted, and the selection of items players can acquire has been updated. From this month onwards, players will receive 50 Pikachu stickers per battle, meaning it shouldn't take anywhere near as long to obtain all the usual rewards, which this month includes 5★ Rosa & Snivy/Servine/Serperior and the Clothing Color: Cool to change the player character's look, available at the usual price of 40 Pikachu Stickers each.

Additionally, players can also trade for an unlimited amount of Type Gear each month at 10 Pikachu Stickers each, with the exact types of gear changing from month to month. This month, players can acquire Bandannas, Bracelets, and Pins for the Normal, Fire, and Water Types.

Players should also note the following for these Pokémon Masters Day battles:

• To participate in Pika-Presents for Everyone! event battles, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.
• To unlock the Special Pika-Challenge! Co-op battles, players must have completed Main Story Interlude 1: Let the Tournament Begin! 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.
• Leftover Pikachu Stickers at the end of this event will be automatically converted to coins at a rate of 10 coins per voucher and sent to players' Present Boxes.
• If players already own Clothing Color: Cool, this will be exchanged for a 3★ Power-Up Instead.

Master Fair Scouts
A set of Master Fair Scouts have gone live with today's celebrations, offering opportunities to scout the following three Master Sync Pairs.

The Master Fair Featured Ticket Scout will be available unttil October 31st, at 10:59pm (PDT), and all Great Scout Ticket C must be redeemed before this time.

The Pokémon Masters Day One-Time-Only Happy Scout ×11 is available for only 25 Gems, functioning as a standard ×11 scout with no special bonuses to sync pair availability.
