Pokémon Masters EX rings in 2024 with returning Master Sync Pairs with added EX Roles, plus three separate one-time-only 5★-Select Poké Fair Scouts

Ahead of the start of the typical daily content update, Pokémon Masters EX dropped a special update at midnight Japan Standard Time, with a collection of Master Fair and Poké Fair Scouts featuring a raft of Fair-exclusive Sync Pairs. The game's Pokémon Center lobby has also received a New Year's makeover, with special decorations and background music filling the lobby until the end of January.

Master Fair Scouts
The Master Sync Pairs Sygna Suit Cynthia (Aura) & Lucario and Sygna Suit Red & Pikachu are both returning to Pokémon Masters EX today in their own individual Master Fair Scouts. These two sync pairs were first released in Master Fair scouts which ran during September, 2022, and this is the first time either of these pairs have returned since then. The Sygna Suit Cynthia Master Fair Scout and Sygna Suit Red Master Fair Scout are both available in-game now, and will run through until January 30th, at 9:59pm (PST).

As usual for Master Fair scouts, 5★ Sync Pairs will have a 12% chance of appearing, with the featured pair having a higher chance of appearing than other pairs. Master Fair-exclusive Sync Pairs may reappear in future Master Fair Scouts. In conjunction with this latest Scout, Sygna Suit Cynthia (Aura) & Lucario and Sygna Suit Red & Pikachu are both are being updated with EX Roles, receiving the Sprint and Field EX Roles respectively.

Both scouts include daily discounts, where players can perform a single scout for x100 paid gems. This daily discount can be used 1 time per day during the entire length of each scout. The first five times players perform a Sync Pair Scout x11 for each scout, they will also receive the following bonus presents:

• 1st Scout: Strike Move Candy Coin x1, Support Move Candy Coin x1, Tech Move Candy Coin x1
• 2nd Scout: 5★ Power-Up x2
• 3rd Scout: Sprint Move Candy Coin x1, Field Move Candy Coin x1
• 4th Scout: 5★ Power-Up x4
• 5th Scout: Move Candy Coin x1

In addition, two Special Present! scouts are also available, requiring paid gems. The Special Present! Sygna Suit Cynthia Master Fair Scout and Special Present! Sygna Suit Red Master Fair Scout scout each gives the same rewards as the regular Master Fair Scouts for the first five times players perform a Sync Pair Scout x11 for this scout. In addition, players who team up with the Master Fairs from each scout will also receive the appropriate Roll Cake item to unlock that pair's new EX Role.

5★-Select Poké Fair Scouts
Three separate 5★-Select Poké Fair Scouts are currently live in celebration of the New Year. On top of giving players a whopping Sync Pair Scout x15, each of these 5★-Select Poké Fair Scouts offers players the chance to select and team up with a 5★ Sync Pair. Each of the three separate scouts has their own range of different Poké Fair Exclusive Sync Pairs for players to choose from, in addition to the 5★ Sync Pair from the general pool.
