At the end of last week, just before Christmas, Yu Sasaki and Tetsuya Iguchi, the producers of Pokémon Masters EX, announced a range of updates and events which players can expect to see over the coming weeks in advance of the new Sinnoh Chapter featuring Team Galactic launching in game next month. More Rallies and events are planned for the beginning of 2022, with a New Year's Message from the Producers to be released on January 1st, 2022 (JST).

Villain Event Prelude: Galactic Nightmare Is Coming

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.

Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade) & Giratina

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.



6★ EX and Sync Grid Unlocks for Pokémon Masters Day
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.

For Pokémon Masters Day December 2021, Candice & Abomasnow have had their 6★ EX unlocked, and their Sync Grid expanded. Sophocles & Togedemaru, and Brycen & Cryogonal have also had their Sync Grids expanded.

In this extremely challenging event, players take on multiple Legendary Arena battles in a row, while only being able to use individual Sync Pairs in a single battle each. Players must train up a diverse array of Sync Pairs to have any chance of getting through this grueling series of battles. Players can receive special Lucky Cookies for winning consecutive battles in the Legendary Gauntlet, or as Gauntlet Rewards. With these Lucky Cookies, sync pairs can learn powerful Lucky Skills, such as Super Powered 3 and Supreme Entry. A guaranteed Lucky Cookie 1 item can be obtained for winning a certain number of battles in a row. This item guarantees Sync Pairs can learn a particular Lucky Skill guaranteed, with a different Lucky Skill available to learn each time the event occurs.

For the inaugural Legendary Gauntlet, players will be facing Entei, Azelf, and Cobalion. The Guaranteed Lucky Cookie 1 item available from this gauntlet will let sync pairs learn the Head Start 1 Lucky Skill.

Background Music Update
A Jukebox feature will be added to the Pokémon Center in late-January 2022, that will allow players to unlock music tracks by meeting certain requirements, such as by collecting certain items or by raising certain Sync Pairs to 6★ EX. In addition to being able to be played directly from the Jukebox itself, unlocked music tracks will also be able to be set as background music for battle.
