The new missions will be available from March 31st, at 11:00pm (PDT), while the old weekly missions will cease from April 5th, at 10:59pm (PDT).

Korrina and Sabrina debut Arc Suit Sync Pairs alongside Chapter 9 of the Arceus Arc
As previewed in the new trailer, the Arceus Arc will continue on March 31st with the launch of Chapter 9, and the debut of Korrina's Arc Suit Sync Pair with Lucario, and Sabrina's Arc Suit Sync Pair with Alakazam.

Chapter 9 of the Arceus Arc focuses on the aftermath of the second Arceus Cup's Gym Leader Tournament. While Korrina wins over Sabrina, neither manages to awaken their Arc Suit in the process, and both begin training to try and identify what they are still lacking.

As usual, an Arceus Arc Celebration Special Battle Event will launch alongside the start of the new chapter.

Arc Suit Korinna & Lucario will debut first, in an Arc Suit Fair commencing March 31st, at 11:00pm (PDT). This Arc Suit Fair-exclusive Fighting-type Multi Role Sync Pair are making their debut with an expanded Sync Grid, the ability to be raised to 6★ EX, and the ability to unlock a Support EX Role when raised to 6★ EX. A full break-down of their Passive Skills and moves can be found on Bulbapedia.

Arc Suit Sabrina & Alakazam will debut two days later, with their Arc Suit Fair commencing April 2nd, at 11:00pm (PDT). This Arc Suit Fair-exclusive Psychic-type Multi Role Sync Pair are making their debut with an expanded Sync Grid, the ability to be raised to 6★ EX, and the ability to unlock a Field EX Role when raised to 6★ EX.

Both Sync Pairs possess synergistic combinations of Passive Skills and moves which allow them to buff themselves and/or allies, apply multiple field effects, and place a variety of stat debuffs on opponents.

Pokémon 30-Year Celebration Special Rally
The "Double Anniversary" celebrations are now over, but it seems Masters EX isn't even vaguely close to being done with celebrating Pokémon's 30 years. A special rally will be held until the end of this year, giving players the opportunity to partner with a variety of Sync Pairs, and experience events tied to those Trainers.

A special log-in bonus will be available on the first of each month, granting each players 1,000 Gems. At the same time, a set of monthly Missions will be released which on completion will award a Sync Pair, and all necessary items to raise them to 6★ EX and unlock their EX Role. All Sync Pairs that will be featured in this rally were part of the Special Concept Video that was released back in September 2025 for the Six-Year Anniversary. A past Story Event related to the month's featured Sync Pair will also be re-run, which will grant a Scrapbook Photo of the Sync Pair from the Six-Year Anniversary Special Concept Video on completion. After going live, each of these re-run events will be available through to the end of the year.

The first set of missions will focus on Arven & Mabosstiff, who will be accompanied by a re-run of the Story Event Peculiar Pokémon-Loving Pal.
