The Pokemon Company, in partnership with DeNA, has announced an exciting new chapter for Pokemon Masters EX with the launch of its “Friend-Making Battle”event on January 3. This event will introduce not only new characters but also various limited-time gameplay elements designed to enhance the player experience as they kick off the new year.
Event Highlights
Initially released in August 2019 as Pokemon Masters, the game evolved into Pokemon Masters EX. It congregates beloved Pokemon Trainers into the Masters League, where players can engage in strategic 3-on-3 battles. The goal? To forge teams with their favorite trainers and Pokemon, aiming to achieve championship glory. The consistent introduction of new trainers and events keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, and the upcoming Friend-Making Battle event is a testament to the game’s ongoing commitment to its community.
New Characters and Gameplay Mechanics
As part of the Friend-Making Battle event, players can look forward to the debut of “New Year’s 2025″versions of trainers Raihan, hailing from Pokemon Sword and Shield, and Poppy, from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. These characters will be available as seasonal sync pair scouts after the event begins on January 3, with a run until January 21 at 12:59 a.m. EST.
Raihan is teamed up with Sandaconda, creating a powerful Ground-type support sync pair that can trigger a sandstorm upon taking damage while also enhancing teammates’ evasiveness. Meanwhile, Poppy partners with Steelix, forming a Steel-type field sync pair capable of creating a Steel Zone upon entering the battlefield. In addition, Poppy and Steelix can decrease opponent stats while bolstering their allies’ defenses.
Engaging Storyline
This event will also feature a captivating narrative where Raihan and Poppy engage in friendly rivalry within the expansive world of Pokemon Masters EX. Players who complete the event’s story arc will unlock Pokemon Trainer Blossom (Furisode Girl), paired with Kirlia. The exact role of Blossom and Kirlia as a sync pair remains to be determined, whether they function as support or field types.
