With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, developer DeNA Co Ltd. along with The Pokémon Company has announced an update to Pokémon Masters EX due to go live later today, introducing content themed around the in-universe Palentine’s Day. According to the lore, this annual event is a day where Trainers on Pasio show thanks to their friends by gifting them with sweet desserts.
Players will be able to add special dessert-themed versions of Serena & Whimsicott and Dawn & Alcremie to their teams via the sync pair spotlight scout. More information on the two fairy-type, dessert-themed pairs can be found below:
- The Fairy-type sync pair of Serena & Whimsicott can unleash attacks like Stun Spore, which inflicts paralysis on the opponent.
- The Fairy-type sync pair of Dawn & Alcremie uses moves like Charm and Fake Tears to lower the opponent’s Attack and Sp. Def.
- Both sync pairs can reach a 6★ EX Potential rating, which increases the strength of their sync moves and provides them with an additional optional Palentine’s Day-inspired outfit to wear.
An in-game story event titled “Baking Buddies” is also available or players who have completed Chapter 1 of the Main Story. This event features Serena and Dawn in their special Palentine’s Day dessert outfits as they search for ingredients to make sweets for their friends. Players can earn in-game items such as Melty Chocolate, Fluffy Frosting, Fresh Berry, and Chocoberry Cake, which can then be exchanged for other team-building items.
As part of the “Baking Buddies” story event, players that log in to the game daily for 13 days will be able to receive up to 1,000 Gems, enough to add up to three sync pairs to their teams.
Pokemon Masters EX is now available on both iOS and Android.
