Getting Started
Start your journey in Pokémon Masters EX by understanding real-time 3v3 Sync Pair battles and core mechanics. Become a champion in the Pokémon Masters League.
Welcome to Pasio, Trainer! Pokémon Masters EX is a real-time 3v3 Pokémon battle game where you team up with iconic Sync Pairs from across the Pokémon world. This guide will help you navigate the initial steps, understand the core mechanics, and set you on the path to becoming a champion in the Pokémon Masters League.
Upon launching the game for the first time, you'll be greeted by Professor Bellis, who will introduce you to the island of Pasio and the concept of Sync Pairs. You'll then be prompted to choose your initial Sync Pair, which is typically a choice between three Kanto starters. Don't worry too much about this choice, as you'll acquire many more Sync Pairs throughout your journey. The game features intuitive touch controls for navigating menus, selecting targets in battle, and activating Sync Pair moves and Sync Moves. Familiarize yourself with the main UI elements: the Home screen, which provides quick access to various game modes; the Team menu, where you manage your Sync Pairs; and the Shop, where you can acquire items and new Sync Pairs.

Master stamina management in Pokémon Masters EX to efficiently farm resources and progress through the game.
Stamina is a crucial resource that limits how many battles you can undertake. Efficiently managing your Stamina is key to maximizing your daily progression. Prioritize spending Stamina on: 1. Ongoing Events: Events often offer the best rewards and limited-time Sync Pairs. 2. Daily Supercourses: These provide high-value training materials. 3. Training Area: Farm materials you are currently low on for your priority Sync Pairs. Avoid wasting Stamina on low-reward stages unless absolutely necessary for a mission.
Always try to use up your Stamina before it caps out, as it regenerates over time. You can also restore Stamina using Stamina Refills (obtained from missions, events, or the shop) or by spending Gems. However, spending Gems on Stamina refills is generally not recommended for free-to-play players unless you have a specific, high-priority farming goal. Plan your daily activities around your Stamina regeneration to ensure continuous progress.
While Pokemon Emerald relied on limited-use TMs for progression, Pokémon Masters EX uses a regenerative Stamina system to gate power-up materials and event rewards.
While Pokémon Masters EX uses a stamina system to gate daily progression, Pokemon TCG Live allows for unlimited matches, focusing instead on a Battle Pass for long-term rewards.
