Exciting Treasure Hunt 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 Exciting Treasure Hunt Story Event, together with Seasonal Scouts featuring Summer-themed Sync Pairs from the past five years.
Story Event: Exciting Treasure Hunt
In this returning Story Event, Gardenia, who is scared of ghosts, and Acerola, a Ghost-type specialist, compete in a treasure hunt that takes them to an eerie cavern. This event is available in-game now, and will continue through until July 22nd, at 10:59pm (PDT).
By completing battles during this event, players can earn Summer Ticket A and Summer Ticket A+ items, which can be exchanged for a variety of items including 5★ Scout Tickets and Power-Ups, Special Skill Feather 37 and 38, Skill Items, Lucky Cookies for Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise, Acerola (Summer 2024) & Jellicent, and Lana & Araquanid, and Support and Field Move Candy Coins. Players can also obtain Gems and Event Medals for completing special missions during the event. 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:
These bonuses stack additively, so having a team consisting of Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise, Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi, and Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela would grant a combined +140% (×2.4) 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.
- Leftover Summer Ticket A and Summer Ticket A+ items will be automatically converted to coins at a rate of 10 coins per item at the end of the event, and sent to players' Present Boxes.
