Pokémon Masters EX is celebrating 2022 with a really big bang. There's a lot of New Year-themed content for everyone to enjoy. The highlight however is the giveaway of 100 million Gems.
For starters, players who log in between January 4 to January 8 enter a contest where they get a chance to win Gems. The prizes are:
- 60,000 Gems (5 players)
- 12,000 Gems (30 players)
- 6,000 Gems (100 players)
- 3,000 Gems (1,000 players)
The rest of the players can win anything between 300 and 1,000 Gems. Gems won can be claimed between January 13 and February 13.
By the way, players able to log in before January 16 receive a gift of 3,000 Gems. Meanwhile, players who log in daily during this period can earn as much as 7,000 additional Gems.
New Story Event
Going to the new content, players can try out the in-game story event “New Year and New Friends.” This is available for those who have finished Chapter 1 of the Main Story. It features both Volkner and Sabrina in their New Year’s outfits as they join in the New Year’s Battle Tournament. This competition has the team with the longest winning streak being declared the winner. The event is available until January 18.
New Year-inspired Sync Pairs
From January 4 until January 18, players have the chance to add the New Years-inspired version of Volkner (New Year’s 2022) and Electivire. This electric-type sync pair can deploy moves like Discharge, which attacks all opponents at once and have a 30% chance of paralyzing them.
During the same period, players can also get the New Years-inspired version of Sabrina (New Year’s 2022) and Chingling. This psychic-type sync pair can use tactics like Condition Shield, which prevents the player’s team from becoming afflicted by status conditions.
These two sync pairs can reach a 6-Star EX Potential rating and once they do, which can increase the strength of their sync moves and give them an extra New Years-inspired outfit to wear.
