Winter Wishes Event underway in Pokémon Masters EX, featuring a special Leon & Calyrex Sync Pair Scout

The Holiday Season is well and truly under way in Pokémon Masters EX, with the Winter Wishes event running through to December 31st, accompanied by special Seasonal Scouts featuring Leon & Calyrex. An additional Event Gem Special will also be on sale in the in-game shop until December 28th.

Story Event: Winter Wishes
Paiso's Winter Soiree comes to life in this new Story Event, as Leon and Nessa give our presents to the Sync Pairs on the Island while wearing new holiday themed outfits. Several special missions will be available during the event period, opening up special stories focused on these two trainers. Players will earn Festive Candles and Frosty Snow Globes for completing these missions, which can be exchanged for a variety of in-game rewards. As usual for events of this type, players will have an increased chance of receiving bonus rewards if they take on event battles using teams that feature specific sync pairs. The more of these sync pairs that players place in their lineup, the greater the bonus received. The applicable Sync Pairs and reward rates are as follows:

• Ice Type Sync Pairs (other than those listed below): + 20% (1.2) bonus items
• Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss, Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey, Rosa (Holiday 2019) & Delibird, Siebold (Holiday 2019) & Octillery: +40% (x1.4) bonus items
• Leon (Holiday 2021) & Calyrex, Nessa (Holiday 2021) & Eiscue: +60% (x1.6) bonus items

These bonuses stack additively, so having Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey, Leon (Holiday 2021) & Calyrex, and another Ice Type sync pair would grant a combined +120% (x2.2) rewards.

Special log-in bonuses will also be distributed as a tie-in to this event. The rewards are as follows

• Day 1: 20 Skip Tickets
• Day 2: 100 Gems
• Day 3: 100 Gems
• Day 4: 100 Gems
• Day 5: 20 Skip Tickets
• Day 5: 100 gems
• Day 7: 100 Gems
• Day 8: 100 Gems
• Day 9: 20 Skip Tickets
• Day 10: 100 Gems
• Day 11: 100 Gems
• Day 12: 100 Gems
• Day 13: 100 Gems

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.
• Leftover Festive Candle and Frosty Snow Globe items at the end of this event will be automatically converted to coins at a rate of 10 coins per voucher, and sent to players' Present Boxes

Leon Seasonal Scout
The Leon Seasonal Scount banners allow players to Scout Leon in a special winter coat outfit in conjunction with the Winter Wishes event, pairing the Galar Champion with Calyrex in an Ice and Bug-type Strike Sync Pair. The pair has a range of moves and passive skills that increase the pair's own stats by multiple ranks, alongside some powerful ice type moves targeting all opponents. This 5★ pair will be scouted with an expanded Sync Grid, and has the ability to be powered up into a 6★ EX. Powering up the pair in this way inverts the colours of Leon's outfit, turning the winter coat into a proper Santa trype suit.

Players will receive bonus items as presents when using the Sync Pair Scout x 11 in the Seasonal Scout, at a cost of 3000 gems (free or paid). Up to 3 bonus items can be received in this way.

In addition to the regular Seasonal Scout, the new sync pair is also available in a Tiered Scout which requires paid gems. Tiers 5 and 10 of this scout award special tickets to use in the Ticket Scout, with the ticket at Level 10 guarenteeing a Leon (Holiday 2021) and Calyrex.

The Seasonal Scout and Seasonal Tiered Scout will both run until December 31st, 2021 at 9:59pm (PST). The associated Ticket Scout meanwhile runs through to January 7th, 2022 at 9:59pm (PST). Tickets must be used prior to this scout ending.

December Event Gem Specials
Four Event Gem specials will be available in the in-game shop until December 28th at 9:59 pm (PST) Gem Specials, offering discounted prices on paid gems.
