Liza and Celesteela debut in Pokémon Masters EX in new Seasonal Scouts

In conjunction with the ongoing Twin Stars Far Apart Story Event, Liza is appearing in a brand new seasonal 5★ sync pair in Pokémon Masters EX today with her new partner Celesteela. The Liza Seasonal Scout and Seasonal Tiered Scout will both run until July 16th at 10:59pm (PDT), while the associated Ticket Scout will run through to July 23rd, at 10:59pm (PDT).

Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela are being released with an expanded Sync Grid, as well as the ability to be raised to 6★ EX status, which switches the palette of Liza's outfit to green with yellow-ish highlights, in complement of her parner Pokémon.

Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela are a Flying-type Strike Sync Pair who are able to shift the normally Normal-type move Giga Impact into a powerful Flying-type move. Unusually for a Strike sync pair, this pair is able to boost their own Defense by two stat ranks with Iron Defense, while Into the Night Sky! raises their accuracy by one stat rank and critical-hit rate by three stat ranks. With their Passive Skills raising their Defense by two stat ranks and applying the Free Move Next effect to themselves whenever they use a status move, meaning they can use Giga Impact for zero slots, making them a strong gaugeless striker. More details about the sync pair can be found on Bulbapedia.

​

I have a feeling I'm going to miss Andi Whaley like I did with Cassidy in English here re: Liza if she speaks in English. I hope Kathy Pilon/Borland bothered to find someone who sounds similar to how she did back then (she did a good job with Professor Oak, Joe J. Thomas is a bit nasal but a lot better than most dub Prof. Oak's: she worked with Stuart Zagnit from 4Kids' late Johto through 3/4 of AG dub but in a script writer capacity in the OG 4Kids Era, so I hope she considers that, as she did with that one clearly).

Re: Ash, oh my god, when Lisa Ortiz manages to make that voice less annoying in the Anime...depressing since she was with Veronica Taylor in '02-'06, Kathy didn't direct Sarah well there IMO.
