Pokémon Masters EX is a strategy and battling game where players form teams of sync pairs (the combination of a Trainer and their partner Pokémon) to engage in 3-on-3 real-time battles against AI opponents.

The game takes place in an all-new location, the island of Pasio, where Trainers and their partner Pokémon from every known Pokémon region will gather to compete.

Players can still preregister for Pokémon Masters to automatically download the game to their device when it launches later this summer.

DeNA Co., in partnership with The Pokémon Company, has kicked off the Two-Year Anniversary celebration for Pokémon Masters EX. Players can also look forward to the game’s biggest giveaway to-date with being able to add up to 100 sync pairs to their teams just by logging in, as well as participating in a sweepstakes with the chance to win an exclusive Pokémon Trading Card Game playmat.

Players that log-in to the game from now until September 29 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time will obtain a 10-Pair Scout Ticket, which can be exchanged for 10 sync pair scouts. Players that log-in to the game on ten separate days throughout this period can obtain up to ten total 10-Pair Scout Tickets, good enough to scout 100 sync pairs. 10-Pair Scout Tickets must be used by October 6 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

A special website has also been prepared and can be found here, where players can visit the website for the latest news about upcoming content and log-in bonuses.
