A Jolly Trio event launches in Pokémon Masters EX, featuring Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble

As previewed in the recent monthly update from the game's developers, a brand new Egg Event, A Jolly Trio, is making its debut today in Pokémon Masters EX, showcasing Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Shield's Galar region. This event will run through to January 9th, at 9:59pm (PST).

In this departure from the typical egg event, players will work together with Victor and Professor Bellis in researching Pokémon from the Galar region. Players will be able to receive Eggs from Professor Bellis that will hatch into the three Galarian first partner Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. During this time, players will only receive eggs by completing missions from this event, and will not receive Eggs for completing other areas. All three of these Galarian Pokémon will have a chance of hatching as a Shiny Pokémon, however none of the Pokémon will be able to be evolved by the player.

One limited-time incubator will also be added to Bellis's Lab for the duration of this event. If an Egg is still in the limited-time incubator when the event ends, the limited-time incubator will remain active until that Egg hatches. This incubator will assist Players in unlocking rewards from event missions to hatch certain numbers of eggs.

​

As usual for events of this type, several special missions will be available during the event period. Players will have an increased chance of receiving Eggs if they take on event battles using teams that feature specific sync pairs. The more of these sync pairs are placed in the lineup, the higher the Egg reward rate will be. The applicable Sync Pairs and Egg reward rates are as follows:

• Fire-type, Grass-Type, and Water-type Main Character sync pairs: +80% (×1.8) Egg Reward Rate
• Other Main Character sync pairs: +40% (×1.4) Egg Reward Rate
• Other Fire-type, Grass-Type, and Water-type sync pairs: +20% Egg Reward Rate (×1.2)

These bonuses stack additively, so having the Main Character & Torchic, together with one Grass-type and one Water-type sync pair, would give a combined bonus of +120% (x2.2)

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.
• All mission completion rewards must be claimed within three days of the mission period ending.
• Players cannot receive Eggs from Professor Bellis by completing areas outside of this event during this event period.

 

This is the only Starter trio to not be in GO
