Psychic-Type Masters High Score Event launches in Pokémon Masters EX, alongside 5★-Select Psychic-Type and Double Feature Poké Fair Scouts

Pokémon Masters EX's latest High Score Event, Psychic-Type Masters, is launching today alongside two new Scouts featuring Psychic-type Sync Pairs. Both the event and these scouts will run through to March 20th, at 10:59pm (PDT).

High Score Event: Psychic-Type Masters
Psychic-Type Masters is the latest in what is still a relatively new event format for Pokémon Masters EX. In High Score Events, players will aim to score the highest amount possible within a set of five battles. Psychic-Type Masters will see players facing off against a gauntlet of Psychic-type Sync Pairs, including Sabrina, Lucian, Caitlin, Will, and Liza. By completing battles in this event and achieving a higher total score, players will be able to earn a variety of rewards, including 5★ Power-Ups, Certificates of Excellence, Move Candy Coins, and Skill Feathers. Players can also obtain Gems ×100, Psychic Tome, Vol. 1 ×120, and Psychic Codex, Vol. 1 ×120 as first-time rewards for completing each battle.

Each High Score Event comes with a set of Event Rules that apply to all battles, and serve as a set of conditions to evaluate how players have completed each battle. The ratings on each of these rules determine the player's base score for each battle. The rules for Psychic-Type Masters are as follows:

• Time Trial - Players will obtain a higher score depending on how fast they can complete each battle.
• More stat decreases - Players will obtain a higher score the more times all ally sync pairs' stats have been increased in total when a battle is completed. For sync pairs whose HP dropped to 0 during the battle, the number of stat increases that sync pair had when they were knocked out will be counted.
• More attacks - Players will obtain a higher score the more total times all allied sync pairs land attacks.

Each of these above rules has a maximum score of 3,000, for a total of 9,000 possible score from Event Rules. In addition to these Event Rules, players will also be able to boost their base score by satisfying additional Challenge Rules. The two Challenge rules for the Psychic-Type Masters event are as follows:

• Confusion: 1 or more times - Players will receive a bonus 1,000 to their base score by inflicting the Confusion status condition on an opponent 1 or more times.
• Have 1 or more Tech sync pairs - Players will receive a bonus 1,000 to their base score by forming a team with 1 or more characters with the Tech role.

On top of these bonuses, players will receive the following multipliers to their base Score depending on their number of Psychic-type sync pairs in their party:

• 0 Pairs: ×0 Score
• 1 Pair: ×1 Score
• 2 Pairs: ×2 Score
• 3 Pairs: ×3 Score

With these multipliers, players must include at least one Psychic-type sync pair in their team to receive a score for each battle. As each Sync Pair will only be able to join a single battle in the set of five, players will need to have teamed up with a wide variety of Psychic-type Sync Pairs if they want to ensure the highest score possible.

Starting from this event, players will be able to receive Titles from Prestige Rewards, based on their ranking at the end of the event. These titles are time-limited, and will not be available from future events.

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, receiving a special Medal as a general mission reward. Final Ranking Results will only be announced after the event has concluded, from March 22nd, at 11:00pm (PDT), and will remain available until March 29th, 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.

New Psychic-type Focused Scout Banners
Two new scout banners have started today in Pokémon Masters EX, running alongside Psychic-Type Masters.

Double Feature Poké Fair Scout
Sygna Suit Dawn & Cresselia and May (Anniversary 2022) & Latias make their return together in this Double Feature Poké Fair Scout. As with a typical Poké Fair Scout, 5★ Sync Pairs will have a 10% chance of appearing, with the two featured trainers having a higher chance of being scouted. Unlike regular Poké Fair Scouts however, only Psychic-type Sync Pairs will appear in this scout.

As always, Poké Fair exclusive Sync Pairs may reappear in future Poké Fair Scouts.

5★-Select Type Scout
In this 5★-Select Type Scout featuring only Psychic-Type Sync Pairs, players can spend 2,000 paid gems to receive an 11x Scout, as well as an additional bonus selection of a 5★ Sync Pair from the limited pool. This scout can be used up to 3 times during the scouting period.
