The Captured King Villain Event returns to Pokémon Masters EX until April 16th, alongside a new Triple Feature Poké Fair Scout

The Captured King Villain Event, which originally ran in late 2022 as part of the Unova Chapter of the Villain Arc, is making another return to Pokémon Masters EX. Three fair-exclusive Sygna Suit wearing sync pairs will also be making their own returns in a special Triple Feature Poké Fair Scout. Both the event and scout will run through until April 16th, at 10:59pm (PDT).

Villain Event: The Captured King
Focused on Team Plasma, The Captured King has players face off against Team Plasma's grunts as they work to further their leader Ghetsis's plans. Players will receive Event Voucher X for completing battles in this event, which can be redeemed in the Exchange Items menu for a variety of items including 5★-Guaranteed Scout Tickets, 5★-Guaranteed Unova Scout Tickets, and Custom Ghetsis & Kyurem Legendary Spirit that can be used to boost Ghetsis & Kyurem to 6★ EX. Players will be able to obtain all of these rewards even if they have previously completed the Villain Event during its original run in 2022, or the re-run in late 2023.

Once raised to 6★ EX, Ghetsis's cloak is changed to be predominately a dark blue, with the highlights being made a light blue on light grey. Raising Ghetsis & Kyurem to 6★ EX will also unlock a new song for the Jukebox.

Unlike regular Story Events, this Villain Event does not include any lineup bonuses to increase battle rewards. There are however special bonuses for Unova Sync Pairs, who will have increased Attack, Defense, Special Attack and Special Defense when used in missions for this event, giving them an easier time in completing stages.

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.
• The sync pairs that appear as opponents in battle have different capabilities than those players can actually obtain.
• The number of plays available for Daily Extreme Battle 1 are reset every day at 11:00pm (PDT)
• All mission completion rewards must be claimed within three days of the mission period ending.
• When the exchange period for the vouchers obtained in this event ends, leftover Event Voucher X items will be converted into coins (10 coins per voucher) and sent to each player's Present Box.

Triple Feature Poké Fair Scout
5★ Sygna Suit Hilda & Victini, 5★ Sygna Suit May & Blaziken, and 5★ Sygna Suit Red & Charizard are returning in this latest Triple Feature Poké Fair Scout. Sygna Suit Hilda & Victini originally debuted in their own individual Poké Fair Scout alongside the original runs of The Captured King and Team Plasma's Icy Malice.

As usual, 5★ Sync Pairs will have a 10% chance of appearing in this Poké Fair Scout, with the featured pairs having a higher chance of appearing than other pairs. The scout also includes a daily discount, where players can perform a single scout for x100 paid gems. Each daily discount can be used 1 time per day during the entire length of the scout.

In conjunction with this scout, all three featured pairs are receiving new EX Roles. Players who have already teamed up with these pairs will have their existing sync pairs updated so that this role can be unlocked.
