How Pokémon Masters EX's Giovanni & Mewtwo Sync Pairs Event Works
Continuing a recent list of returning Legendary Events meant to celebrate its two-year anniversary, Pokémon Masters EX has announced Giovanni and Mewtwo will again be available to obtain as a Sync Pair by completing the Lurking Shadow Legendary Event between September 16 and October 15. The Sync pair has been offered via the same event a handful of times since its original release to Pokémon Masters EX in 2019. Like the other Legendary Event Sync Pairs, Giovanni and Mewtwo will be a powerful asset to player strategies.
Currently, Pokémon Masters is celebrating its two-year anniversary with a number of perks for both new and returning players. To encourage participation, players can obtain 10-Pair Scout Tickets up to 10 times until September 29, as well as earn Gem currency and Five-Star Scout Tickets, as daily log-in bonuses. The log-in incentives coincide with the release of exciting Sync Pairs like Sygna Suit Leon and Eternatus, as well as the special anniversary editions of Steven and Rayquaza, N and Reshiram, and Lillie and Lunala. Each comes with a special outfit for the event, and a side story that can be unlocked via Pokémon Masters EX event progression.
In order to obtain Mewtwo and Giovanna during the Lurking Shadows Legendary Event, players will need to have completed Chapter 1 of the Pokémon Masters EX's main story. Doing so will unlock the ability to access the Legendary Event explore area. Players will then need to complete the Legendary Event in order to recruit Giovanni and Mewtwo as a Sync Pair. Once obtained, or if players were able to get Giovanna and Mewtwo in past events, the Villain Event Prelude: Looming Shadow of Kanto will offer a chance to battle Team Rocket members and earn items needed to raise the Sync Pair's level from 5 stars to the 6-star EX. Because of this, players will want to hold on to their Skip Tickets and Stamina, to ensure they can obtain all the needed items to max out the pair.
For those hoping to take advantage of the special Sync Pairs currently available to recruit in the Pokémon Masters EX shop, more free Gem currency is now available thanks to the success of the two-year anniversary retweet rally. The rewards will include 3,000 Gems, and x60 5-star guaranteed Scout Tickets, which can be claimed by logging in before October 8. The 5-star guaranteed Scout Tickets may speed up recruiting powerful Pokémon Masters EX characters like Piers, Serena, or Nessa without the need to grind for the 5-star Scout Tickets through Legendary events and Bingo Cards.
For those just starting out in Pokémon Masters EX, the rerelease of events like Lurking Shadows could be a good opportunity to stock up on currency and items, while bulking up teams with powerful Sync Pairs. While it isn't currently known what the game has planned for the holiday season, a strong team will help those interested in taking on Pokémon Masters EX's next challenges as they battle their way to victory.
