A ranking feature is also available to this event, allowing players to see how well they've done against other trainers. Players whose Best Score is within the top 10,000 spots at the end of the event will be awarded Master Rank, and all players will receive a special Title based on their final standings in the rankings. Final Ranking Results will only be announced after the event has concluded, from September 12th, at 11:00pm (PDT), and will remain available until September 19th, at 10:59pm (PDT).

Players should also note the following when playing this event:

• To participate, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.
• Area info completion data will not be carried over the next time this event returns.
• The sync pairs that appear as opponents in battle have different capabilities than those players can actually obtain.
• It may take some time for rankings to be updated, meaning the in-game rankings may not reflect the most recent results.
• Battles finished after the event period ends may not be reflected in the rankings.

Raising the pair to 6★ EX also unlocks a new design for Glloria, switching out her white top and accessories for red ones, while also darkening the shade of orange of her dress.

EX Master Scouts will operate similar to Master Fairs, with an offering rate of 1% for the featured EX Master Sync Pair, 2% for additional featured 5★ Fair-Exclusive Sync Pairs, and 12% for other 5★ Sync Pairs, which may include other Fair-Exclusive Sync Pairs. Like with normal Master Fair Scouts, EX Master Fair Scouts require 400 scout points before players are able to get a free selection of any one Sync Pair available in the Scout.

The two Fair-Exclusive Sync Pairs who will join Gloria (Anniversary 2025) & Cinderace in this scout are Blue (Classic) & Aerodactyl, and Selene (Alt.) & Nihilego.

In addition, players who team up with Gloria (Anniversary 2025) & Cinderace in this Special Present scout will also receive a Sprint Roll Cake item, which is required to unlock their EX Role.

Gloria (Anniversary 2025) & Cinderace are a versatile Sync Pair who can apply both the Physical Move Break and Special Move Break effects to a single target through their Meteor Quick Attack. This attack also reduces their sync move countdown by three, and increases the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect and Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by two ranks. This move requires Gloria (Anniversary 2025) & Cinderace to use any move once in order to be activated, so it partners perfectly with their Get Excited! status move, which increases the Attack and Sp. Atk of all allied sync pairs by a full six stat ranks, and can also use up to three move gauge slots to raise the critical-hit rate of allied sync pairs by up to three stat ranks. Their Master Passive Skill is Galar's Shining Ace, which powers up the moves and sync moves of all allied sync pairs by a base 20%, and reduces attack move and sync move damage taken by all allied sync pairs by a base 25%. Each sync pair with the Galar theme on your team raises these percentages by 15% and 3% respectively, for a value of 35% and 28% if Gloria (Anniversary 2025) & Cinderace is the only Galar pair on your team, and a maximum 50% and 31% if your entire team are from Galar. The skill also applies the Enduring effect to all allied sync pairs the first time the user enters a battle each battle.

Gloria (Anniversary 2025) Gem Emote
A special Gems with Gym Emotes offer is available from the in-game shop alongside the Gloria EX Master Scout, allowing players to obtain a Gloria (Anniversary 2025) Gym Emote as a present. This offer, which comes with 250 paid gems, can be purchased under the With Emotes tab in the Purchase Gems menu of the in-game shop.

Barry Mix Scout
A new Mix Scout exclusive Sync Pair, 5★ Barry & Infernape, make their debut with the Barry Mix Scout. As with previous Mix Scout exclusive pairs, Barry & Infernape use the same Trainer Costume as Barry & Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon, and the pair do not have a unique EX Style when raised to 6★ EX, nor a Sync Pair story. This Mix Scout will remain available until December 31st, at 9:59pm (PST).

Mix Scouts are a form of long term scout, whose lineup will change roughly every six months, allowing players to accrue Scout Points in many scouts over time. The Mix Scout can only be used up to three times a day, one each for each of the following options, which all require Paid Gems:

• Sync Pair Scout ×1: 100 Paid Gems
• Sync Pair Scout ×3: 300 Paid Gems
• Sync Pair Scout ×5: 500 Paid Gems

In addition to the featured pair, a wide variety of other 5★ pairs can also be found in the Mix Scout, including several pairs previously exclusive to Costume, Seasonal, and Poké Fair Scouts. The full list of pairs, including their offering rates, can be found in-game.

Monthly Poké Fair Scout Vol. 37
The Fair-Exclusive 5★ Marnie & Morpeko are the featured Sync Pair for this latest Monthly Poké Fair Scout, which will remain available until September 30th, at 10:59pm (PDT). Players who manage to scout the pair will be able to invite Marnie as a Guest to the Trainer's Lodge. Marnie & Morpeko last featured in Monthly Poké Fair Scout Vol. 22 in June 2024.

As normal for Poké Fair Scouts, 5★ sync pairs have a 10% chance of appearing in this scout. The first five times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11 for the Monthly Poké Fair Scout Vol. 37, they will receive a bonus present of 3★ Friend Key ×15. These keys allow players to increase the Friendship Level Cap for a single Guest in the Trainer Lodge by 10. This Monthly Poké Fair Scout also includes a daily discount, where players can perform a single scout for ×100 paid gems. This daily discount can be used 1 time per day during the entire length of the scout.
