Special sync pair event
A special sync pair event[note 1] (Japanese: 特別バディーズイベント Special Buddies Event) is a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. These events allow players to team up with a certain sync pair for free. In addition, an event exchange is available in the shop with items that can be used to maximize the featured sync pair's move level, increase their potential to 5★, and fill out their sync grid.
The first event introduced with this structure, Bugsy & Scyther, is instead called a Sync Pair-Up Event (Japanese: バディーズ加入イベント Buddies Join Event).
Bugsy & Scyther
This event ran from July 22 to August 5, 2021. It allowed players to recruit Bugsy & Scyther.
Battles rewarded players with Event Vouchers N, which could be redeemed in the shop for items to power up Bugsy & Scyther. Extra Event Vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
This event reran from March 23 to April 6, 2024. Event Voucher N was replaced with Event Voucher U, and exchanges were available in the shop to convert Bugsy & Scyther's Custom ★ Power-Ups and Sync Orbs into standard 4★ Power-Ups and Co-op Sync Orbs for players who had already fully upgraded this sync pair.

Bugsy | Oh! Hi there, <player>! Perfect timing! I know it's sudden, but would you have a Pokémon battle with me? My partner Pokémon will be this Scyther! Just like Beedrill, he's one of my prized Bug-type Pokémon! |
Bugsy | We were just practicing our teamwork as a sync pair, but it looks like he's interested in joining your team, too! If we can show you a good battle, would you let us join your team? You will battle us, won't you? It'd be great if you could! |

Misty | Me and Psyduck just got back from a quick swim! |
Leaf | No wonder they call you the Tomboyish Mermaid. You're always in the water! I think you were wearing that same swimsuit when we battled at your Gym in Kanto, right? That was an unexpected surprise! Come to think of it, I don't remember you battling with this Psyduck back then... |
(Psyduck looks at Leaf, puzzled) | |
Misty | True! I don't think he was quite ready for Gym battling when you came to visit. But since coming to Pasio, I've trained him up to be just as strong as Starmie and the others! |
Leaf | Ooh, I'll have to keep an eye on him, then! I'm excited to see what you two can do! |
Misty | Now that we're a sync pair, you can see it firsthand! |

(Arcanine cries out happily) | |
Blaine | Yes indeed. Look at this fur... And he's got such sturdy legs... As a Fire-type Gym Leader, I must admit I'm impressed! |
Blue | Heheh! Right? And to be honest... I've incorporated what I learned from my battle at Cinnabar Gym into training this guy! |
Blaine | Oh? So you've taken some of my battle tactics and made them your own?! I see why so many people are drawn to you, just like Arcanine. |
Blue | Y'know, I'm gonna start battling as a sync pair with Arcanine! If we end up on the same team, all you gotta do is leave it to us! We'll show you a battle just as hot as anything Red's Charizard can do! |

(Team Rocket's hideout; Giovanni is wearing his classic outfit, with Archer on his right and Ariana on his left) | |
Giovanni | My loyal followers... First, I would like to thank you for responding to my call and joining me here on Pasio. I am pleased to have this opportunity to work with you all. As you may know, Pasio is a place overflowing with people, goods, and Pokémon. Presented with such an opportunity, what course of action should our organization take? Some may find themselves losing sight of our goals. So, let us review what our ambitions as Team Rocket are. In an attempt to return to my roots, I donned my old clothes and gave this some thought. The answer is simple: we must use money to claim more power. Of course, this will be accomplished by utilizing the power of Pokémon. |
(Cut to Archer) | |
Giovanni | Controlling the world and executing our schemes are only steps towards achieving our goal. |
(Cut to Ariana) | |
Giovanni | Pokémon with immense power... Rare Pokémon... They will undoubtedly be useful. |
(Cut to the Team Rocket Grunts that Giovanni is addressing) | |
Giovanni | But we should not focus solely on them. I want you all to broaden your horizons. |
(Cut back to Giovanni) | |
Giovanni | Let this Persian be a prime example of that. |
(Giovanni's Persian cries out) | |
Giovanni | Persian are very prideful Pokémon. To have a Persian accept you is proof that you are an exceptional Trainer. Proving your superiority is standard practice in business. Any Pokémon can be useful as long as you handle it well. However, Persian and I still have much to learn about battling on Pasio. As your superior, I plan to hone my skills in a way that will uphold our reputation. That is all. I expect great things from all of you. |
(The grunts cheer) |

Name | Text |
---|---|
Victor | Who's that Pokémon?: Oh, <player>. Well, actually... What are you doing?: Hey, <player>! I was just showing Sonia my Spectrier! It's my new partner Pokémon. It came to Pasio from somewhere else and was running amok. I managed to calm it down somehow. |
Sonia | We were able to figure out its name, but there's something I'm curious about... |
Sonia | You know how Leon's Pokémon, Calyrex, rides a white horse Pokémon? I was wondering if this Pokémon is connected somehow, and then I remembered! |
Sonia | Back when I was researching other Pokémon in the Crown Tundra, I heard a song from an elderly woman living in a village. It's called "Song of the King's Steed"! It goes like this... |
Sonia | "Iceroot Carrots, cold as ice. ♪" "Munched all up by the bully in white. ♪" |
Sonia | "Shaderoot Carrots, dark as doom. ♪" "Crunched by the bully with a ghostly gloom. ♪" Get it? |
Victor | So the "bully in white" is the Pokémon that Leon's Calyrex rides on... and the "bully with a ghostly gloom" must be talking about Spectrier! |
Sonia | Exactly! |
Victor | Do you love Shaderoot Carrots, then? |
Victor | It seems like it'd be difficult to find vegetables from the Crown Tundra on Pasio... But I'll definitely find you some Shaderoot Carrots one of these days! Is it happy?: No... I have a feeling it still wants to blow off some steam. Is it angry?: Nah, I think it just wants to cut loose right now rather than eat carrots. So let's battle right now, Sonia! |
Sonia | Huh?! A battle with me?! W-well, sure, I guess... OK! Bring it on! |

Battles rewarded players with Whipped Cream Cakes, which could be redeemed in the shop for items to power up sync pairs and one Event Sync Pair Voucher. The Event Sync Pair Voucher could be redeemed in the shop for a sync pair formed between the player character and one of six different Alcremie, each of which had a different flavor of cream and sweet. Players could only team up with one Alcremie; however, each sync pair was functionally identical, allowing players to choose solely based on the Alcremie's decorations.
If the player did not redeem their Event Sync Pair Voucher, it was automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished. Extra Whipped Cream Cakes were also automatically exchanged.

Roark | Riley?! |
Riley | Hey. It's been a while, Roark. I was in the middle of training...did I surprise you? Lucario has been oddly into it, maybe because he felt your auras. |
Roark | I didn't know you were here on Pasio! When did that happen? |
Riley | Yeah, I was led here by a mysterious power... |
Riley | I see. So you're <player>. You've got a nice aura. I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I'm always training in mines. Nice to meet you!: Nice to meet you too. I've heard about you. N-nice to meet you...: Hmm, you seem a bit down. Are you eating a balanced diet? Make sure you don't miss any nutrients! |
Roark | Riley's a friend of my dad's. Riley's such a good Trainer that my dad asked him to be a Gym Leader. |
Riley | Haha, I'm not that good. I'm planning to continue training with Lucario as a sync pair on Pasio. There may be times when I need help, so I'll be counting on you two. |

- Reasons to Battle with Nidorino
Name | Text |
---|---|
(Forest; Chase and Elaine are battling Professor Oak and Nidorino) | |
Chase | Wow... I didn't know Professor Oak was THIS strong! |
Elaine | Yeah! I'm amazed, too! |
Professor Oak | Hoho! I guess I never told you two before. When I was young, I was a serious Pokémon Trainer! |
Elaine | A serious Trainer, huh... |
Chase | I wonder what it would've beeen like to know you back then... |
??? | That old duff was tough and handsome. |
(Agatha appears) | |
Agatha | But that was decades ago. He's a shadow of his former self now. |
Chase | Agatha! |
Elaine | So, you knew Professor Oak back when he was really serious? |
Agatha | Indeed. More than I'd have liked to, actually. As rivals, we used to battle each other a lot to see which one of us was stronger. |
Chase | WOW! Professor Oak was rivals with an Elite Four member? |
Professor Oak | Hahaha, it's a story of the past now! |
Elaine | So that's why you're so good at battling with Nidorino—it's because you've trained a lot over the years! I was surprised, because Nidorino can't use as many moves as Nidoking. |
Agatha | Oh ho... You've been studying well. I see what the old duff sees in you. But Pokémon are for battling! If you want to keep winning, I'd say you ought to evolve your Pokémon. |
Chase | Hmm... Agatha has a point. Why haven't you evolved your Nidorino, Professor Oak? |
Professor Oak | Well... The main reason is for Pokémon research! It goes without saying that Nidorino and Nidoking are different Pokémon. As a researcher, I need to know the strengths and best ways of battling with Nidorino... AND the best ways of battling with Nidoking! So, I'm now researching what's great about Nidorino by being partners with him. |
Chase | Cool! |
Elaine | That's amazing, Professor Oak! |
Professor Oak | Another reason is... |
(Flashback to Gengar and Nidorino battling in a forest; back to present) | |
Professor Oak | Actually...never mind! |
Chase | We should also get stronger by finding our partners' unique strength! |
Elaine | Yeah! |
Agatha | Well, well... I guess you both decided to take it easy like that old duff. Best of luck to you anyway. |
(Agatha walks away, with Professor Oak watching her) |
Trivia
- The Sync Pair-Up Event Bugsy & Scyther has a few minor differences from special sync pair events:
- On its first run, its introductory story area could not be replayed. As a result, players had to complete the first battle in the event to team up with the featured sync pair.
- It featured battles against the featured sync pair, and there was a different set of opponents for the final battle.
- It had a gap of 976 days from the start of its initial run to the start of its second run, while every special sync pair event that has been rerun received its second run within a year.
- The first run of Victor & Spectrier was the only special sync pair event to have cap-unlock drinks available in the shop.
- Petey & Pikachu was the only special sync pair event to:
- allow players to team up with a sync pair with an initial potential of 3★.
- allow players to team up with a character based on a generic Trainer class.
- have duplicate copies of the featured sync pair cost 200 vouchers apiece.
- Sweet and Fancy was the only special sync pair event to:
- allow players to team up with a sync pair formed by Scottie/Bettie.
- give players an option for what sync pair to team up with.
- use an item other than a generic voucher as the exchange currency.
- not have sync pair-specific items available in the shop.
- not have enough materials to fully grid the featured sync pair available in the shop. Players could exchange for up to 750 co-op sync orbs, which is only equivalent to 75 sync pair-specific sync orbs.
- Riley & Lucario was the only special sync pair event to allow players to team up with a character introduced in the core series games that was not previously available in the game.
- Professor Oak & Nidorino was the only special sync pair event to feature a sync pair that had previously been established in the game; Professor Oak was shown to have Nidorino as a partner prior to forming a sync pair with Mew.
- The flashback in Professor Oak & Nidorino is a reference to the opening of Pokémon Red, Green, FireRed, and LeafGreen.
