July's Pokémon Masters Day events in Pokémon Masters EX arrive with upgrades for Gardenia & Roserade and Jasmine & Steelix

Pokémon Masters Day is here again, with the usual collection of regular events and presents on offer in Pokémon Masters EX for the monthly celebrations. All players who log in today will receive a special present of 500 gems from Pikachu, and have the opportunity to take advantage of special events and co-op battles. As always, several Sync Pairs are also receiving upgrades alongside this monthly event.

Pokémon Masters Day first ran back in November 2021, and currently runs every month in Pokémon Masters EX from the 24th at 11:00 pm (PDT), through to the 25th at 10:59 pm (PDT). To claim presents, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.

Sync Pair Upgrades
To celebrate this latest Masters Day update, two sync pairs will be getting upgrades.

First off, 4★ Gardenia & Roserade meanwhile can now be raised all the way up to 6★ EX, receiving a new EX Style which includes a new blue outfit with white cape.

5★ Jasmine & Steelix meanwhile are receiving new sync grid titles, which are unlocked when their move level is increased to 2 or 3.

One-Time-Only Scouts for Pokémon Masters Day
Two special discounted Pokémon Masters Day scouts are available, representing a great chance to obtain some extra sync pairs. These scouts can each only be used once and must be done before the end of Pokémon Masters Day.

The Pokémon Masters Day One-Time-Only 5★-Guaranteed Scout ×11 is available for 100 Paid Gems, granting the player a regular ×11 scout along with a bonus 5★-guaranteed sync pair, while the Pokémon Masters Day One-Time-Only Happy Scout ×11 is available for only 25 Gems, functioning as a standard ×11 scout with no special bonuses to sync pair availability.

Special Pika-Challenge
Players can also take on the co-op battle Special Pika-Challenge to collect Pikachu Stickers to exchange for valuable rewards in the exchange menu, including 5★ Cheren & Stoutland and the Clothing Color: Fresh to change the player character's look, for 40 Pikachu Stickers each.

Players should also note the following for these Pokémon Masters Day battles:

• To participate in Pika-Presents for Everyone! event battles, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.
• To unlock the Special Pika-Challenge! Co-op battles, players must have completed Main Story Interlude 1: Let the Tournament Begin! 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 Pikachu Stickers 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.

Masters Day Gem Specials
In conjunction with this month's Pokémon Masters Day, the following three Event Gem Specials will be available in the "Purchase Gems" tab of the in-game shop until July 25th at 10:59pm (PDT), offering discounted prices on Paid Gems.

• Masters Day gem special 1: Gems ×1,000

Sygna Suit Lyra Master Fair Scout
5★ Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi's Master Fair Scout is available in-game now, and will run through to August 24th, at 10:59pm (PDT). This sync pair was first released in a Master Fair scout in May 2022. As usual for Master Fair scouts, 5★ sync pairs will have a 12% chance of appearing, with the featured pair having a higher chance of appearing than other individual pairs. Master Fair-exclusive sync pairs may reappear in future Master Fair scouts. In conjunction with this latest scout, Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi are being updated so they now have a Field EX Role available to unlock.

The Sygna Suit Lyra Master Fair Scout includes a daily discount, where players can perform a single scout for ×100 Paid Gems. This daily discount can be used once per day during the entire length of the scout. The first five times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11 for this scout, they will also receive the following bonus presents:

• 1st Scout: Strike Move Candy Coin ×1, Support Move Candy Coin ×1, Tech Move Candy Coin ×1
• 2nd Scout: 5★ Power-Up ×2
• 3rd Scout: Sprint Move Candy Coin ×1, Field Move Candy Coin ×1
• 4th Scout: 5★ Power-Up ×4
• 5th Scout: Move Candy Coin ×1

In addition, a Special Present! Sygna Suit Lyra Master Fair Scout is also available, requiring Paid Gems. This scout gives the same rewards as the regular Sygna Suit Lyra Master Fair Scout for the first five times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11 for this scout. In addition, players who team up with Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi in this scout will also receive a Field Roll Cake item, which is required to unlock their EX Role.
