A Message from the Pokemon Masters Team (Vol. 6)

• Sync Grid Additions
• Legendary Event in Late January
• Battle Villa
• Six-Month Anniversary Celebration
• Other Updates

Basics

• Sync grid tiles can be activated through sync orbs, which can be collected in battle (A "Sync orb chance!" message may appear at the beginning of battle.) Using a sync move gives you a chance to earn orbs as drops.
• Activating tiles teaches your Sync Pairs new skills and increases stats. That being said, upgrading comes at the cost of your available energy, which is finite.
• Some tiles are tied to additional requirements, including Sync Move level.

Grid Skills

• The Grid will help trainers unlock Stat raises, Sync move enhancements, Move power-ups, and Passive skills.

Grid Availability

• All Sync Pairs will come with a basic sync grid with the launch of the feature.
• Sync grids will be expanded on in the future for Sync pairs with coming updates.

Future Plans

• In late January, Pryce & Seel will have an expanded sync grid.
• The plan going forward is expanding the sync grids for ~4 pairs a month.

Legendary Event

• A very popular Legendary Pokemon will come in Late January.
• Rock-type Sync Pairs are recommended for this challenge.

Battle Villa

• Will let you train up to 9 sync pairs per day.
• Need to pay attention to opponent’s weaknesses when building a team. Take into consideration not only supereffective attacks, but also status conditions and buffs.
• Can receive Battle Villa exclusive items from participating.
• Progress in Battle Villa will be reset at fixed intervals and gems will be rewarded based on placement.
• Can gain lucky skills for sync pairs through rewards obtained.
• Lucky skills are a type of passive skill that provide beneficial effects when certain conditions are met.

• A special rally will be held in mid-February to celebrate the Pokemon Masters Six-Month Anniversary.
• The Battle Villa will launch.
• The Story will get an overhaul.
• A "surprising" new Sync Pair will be released.
• Many Pokemon will be unlocking evolutions.
• The Main Story will be getting chapters 22-24 along with new sync pairs.
