Villain Event Prelude: Galactic Nightmare Is Coming
While your main character is assisting Cynthia in investigating some ruins, Team Galactic shows up to try to get her Pokémon! Team Galactic mistake the main character for Cynthia’s assistant, dragging you into the battle!
The Villain Event Prelude: Galactic Nightmare serves as the prelude to the new Sinnoh Chapter that will begin on January 12th, 2022. This event includes a battle that can only be completed once per day. By completing it, players can get one 5★ Sinnoh Scout Ticket as a reward each day.
In conjunction with the Villain Event Prelude, a new Master Sync Pair is making its debut. Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade) & Giratina are a Ghost-type tech Master Sync Pair from the Sinnoh region. They are the first Sync Pair that will be able to utilize the zone field effect, which is newly added along with their debut. By using their Ghost Wish Move, they can change the field to a Ghost Zone, which powers up Ghost-type attacks by 50%.
Cynthia (Renegade) & Giratina 's move, Show Me Your Secrets!, lowers their Defense and Sp. Def by one stat rank but also raises their Attack and Sp. Atk by four stat ranks and their critical-hit rate by three stat ranks. They have the moves Shadow Force and Shadow Ball. Additionally, they can weaken opponents when they use an attack move, their Sundering 9 Passive Skill can lower the target's Defense and Sp. Def.

Starting from the most recent Pokémon Masters Day, which was held over the Christmas weekend, this regular event will now include a selection of Sync Pairs having their 6★ EX unlocked, and/or their Sync Grids be unlocked and expanded. It's not entirely clear at this point if this is something that will happen on every single Pokémon Masters Day, or if this will be more of an occasional bonus.
