The producer of Pokémon Masters Yu Sasaki posted an open letter about the game on the Pokémon Master's official website. The letter addresses the upcoming changes to the game.

A Message from the Pokémon Masters EX Team (Vol. 55)

Greetings, Trainers.
We’re the producers of Pokémon Masters EX, Yu Sasaki and Tetsuya Iguchi, here with a new message for you. Today, we’ll focus on details about events beginning around the end of the year and the new Sync Pairs that will debut.

Neo Champions: A Touching Sepia-Toned Song Is Coming

Neo Champions: A Touching Sepia-Toned Song will begin on December 24, 2023! In A Pure and Touching Heart, the previous Neo Champions event, Iris felt that the power to touch the hearts of others can take many forms, and has decided to hold a second part of the Neo Champion Stadium.

Rosa, who had been practicing Relic Song with Meloetta, decides to put on a performance born from the bonds between people and Pokémon! Rosa will also appear as part of a Master Sync Pair wearing her Champion attire from the event!

Rosa (Champion) & Meloetta

Rosa (Champion) & Meloetta are a Support Sync Pair that can battle while switching between two forms. Their EX Role is Sprint!

One of their Passive Skills makes them switch between Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme when successfully attacking with a Move or Sync Move. When they switch forms, they can increase the Physical Moves ↑ Next and Special Moves ↑ Next effects of all allies by one rank each!

Plus, by using their Ode to Glory! Move, they can increase the Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allies by two ranks when in Aria Forme, or the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect of all allies when in Pirouette Forme.

On top of that, they’ll lower the target’s Psychic Type Rebuff by one rank the first time they use a Move targeting the opponent when in Aria Forme, and they’ll lower the target’s Fighting Type Rebuff by one rank the first time they use a Move targeting the opponent when in Pirouette Forme. They can also raise one of the following stats of all allies by two stat ranks at random every time they use their Relic Song of Wonder Buddy Move: Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy, or evasiveness.


In addition, we’re bringing you a Special Battle Event and Extreme Battle Event in which you can battle Rosa in her Champion attire, so we hope you look forward to these battles.

Other Events and Updates

On December 24, 2023, we’ll also bring you A Glimmering Night of Gifts log-in bonus, from which you can get 3,000 gems. Viola and Professor Sycamore will be wearing special outfits and waiting for you on Pasio with presents, so we hope you log in and receive them.

Additionally, a special Egg Event where you can team up with Pokémon from Galar—Scorbunny, Grookey, and Sobble—will start on December 26, 2023, so we hope you look forward to it!

Thanks for a Great 2023

With your support, we were able to release all kinds of new content, events, and updates this year, such as the debut of Trainers from the Hisui and Paldea regions, the High Score Event, the addition of new Roles and EX Roles, and Skill Gear.

We’ll continue to do our best to provide the best possible experience with new features and improvements for next year and beyond.

While the full scope of the Mysterious Stones Chapter has yet to be revealed, we hope that you’ll look forward to our monthly updates as we gradually unravel its mysteries.

In our message coming around the beginning of 2024, we’ll share information on seasonal events and more details about the new battle content that we mentioned in a previous message. Here’s to another great year together!

What to Expect in the Next Message

Our next message is scheduled for January 1, 2024 (JST). In it, we plan to share information about events and rallies that will start at the beginning of next year. We’re always working hard to deliver updates and improvements that make the world of Pokémon Masters EX as fun as possible.

Until next time, thank you for playing Pokémon Masters EX.
