High-Flying Seaside Holiday Story Event returns to Pokémon Masters EX alongside Seasonal Scouts featuring past Summer-themed Sync Pairs

The celebration of summer continues in Pokémon Masters EX, with a re-run of last year's High-Flying Seaside Holiday Story Event, together with Seasonal Scouts featuring Summer-themed Sync Pairs going back to 2020.

Story Event: High-Flying Seaside Holiday
It wouldn't be a Summer event without a trip to the beach! This event, which will run through to July 30th, at 10:59pm (PDT), sees Cynthia and Leer relaxing at the beach after an intervention from Dawn and Skyla pushes them to finally take a day off.

This event follows the simplified format for Story Events, where players will collect Event Points as they complete battles, earning rewards based on the total amount of event points acquired instead of trading for specific desired rewards. Featured event rewards include 5★ Scout Tickets, Skill Items, a Sprint Move Candy Coin, a 5★ Power-Up, and Event Medals. Other rewards able to be obtained include Special Skill Feathers 88 and 89, custom Sync Orbs for Cynthia (Summer 2025) & Milotic and Skyla (Summer 2025) & Jumpluff, and Lucky Cookies for Cynthia (Summer 2025) & Milotic, Skyla (Summer 2025) & Jumpluff, and Dawn & Torterra.

As usual for events of this type, players will receive 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:

• Cynthia (Summer 2025) & Milotic, Skyla (Summer 2025) & Jumpluff: +60% (×1.6) bonus rewards
• Dawn & Turtwig/Grotle/Torterra, Mela & Armarouge, Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise, Acerola (Summer 2024) & Jellicent, Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi, Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela, N (Summer 2022) & Zoroark, Hilda (Summer 2022) & Grapploct, Gloria (Summer 2021) & Inteleon, Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl, Steven (Summer 2020) & Sandslash, Lyra (Summer 2020) & Jigglypuff: +40% (×1.4) bonus rewards
• All other sync pairs with the Sinnoh or Unova Theme Skills: +20% (×1.2) bonus rewards

These bonuses stack additively, so having a team consisting of Cynthia (Summer 2025) & Milotic, Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise, and Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi, would grant a combined +140% (x2.4) rewards.

Players should also note the following when playing this event:

• The number of plays available for Daily Extreme Battle 1 are reset every day at 11:00pm (PDT).
• 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.
• All Event Points collected during this event will be automatically deleted once the event is over.
