Red & Articuno, Leaf & Moltres, and Blue & Zapdos Featured as Pokémon Masters EX Celebrates its Four-Year Anniversary

TOKYO—August 28, 2023—DeNA Co., Ltd., in partnership with The Pokémon Company, has kicked off the Four-Year Anniversary celebration for Pokémon Masters EX. In addition to new battling mechanics, events, giveaways, and log-in bonuses, players can look forward to the debut of Red (Champion) & Articuno, Leaf (Champion) & Moltres, and Blue (Champion) & Zapdos to the game. All three duos are Master sync pairs, meaning they possess master passive skills that provide boosts to a players’ entire team. They are also the first sync pairs to have the newly introduced EX Role, which provides players with an immediate stat boost. If a sync pair with the EX Role’s potential is upgraded to 6★ EX, they will be able to unleash a powered-up sync move as well.
 
A new trailer highlighting these sync pairs as well as other content available in the Four-Year Anniversary can be found here on the official Pokémon Masters EX YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/mNMPr4gk9DY
 

• Red (Champion) & Articuno are an Ice-type­ sync pair with the Kanto Spirit master passive skill, which powers up the Sp. Atk of all allied sync pairs while reducing any Sp. Atk damage taken. This duo can also unleash Frozen Wings Ice Beam, a powerful attack that freezes the opponent and negates any damage-reducing or critical hit-protecting passive skills they might possess. This sync pair will be available to add to players’ teams via the Red Master Fair Scout, available now through October 6 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
• Leaf (Champion) & Moltres are a Fire-type sync pair that possesses the Kanto Pride master passive skill, which powers up the physical attacks of all allied sync pairs while reducing any physical damage taken.
