Trainer Gloria and Legendary Pokémon Zacian from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Now Available as a Sync Pair in Pokémon Masters EX

Pokémon Masters EX now includes characters from every known region of the Pokémon world

TOKYO—November 30, 2020—DeNA Co., Ltd., in partnership with The Pokémon Company, today announced that the Trainer Gloria and Legendary Pokémon Zacian, characters first introduced in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, are now available to add to players' teams as a sync pair in Pokémon Masters. Gloria & Zacian is the first sync pair from the Galar region to join Pokémon Masters EX, which now includes characters from every known region of the Pokémon world.

Gloria & Zacian Sync Pair Spotlight Scout! Players can add the Steel-type sync pair of Gloria & Zacian via the sync pair spotlight scout, available now until December 20 at 9:59 p.m. Pacific time. This sync pair can deploy moves like Behemoth Blade, an extremely powerful attack that consumes four out of a possible six units of the move gauge. Savvy players can strategize by using this resource-intensive move in conjunction with Move Gauge Boost, which replenishes the move gauge.

Introducing “Battle Buffet Bash.” Players will also be able to interact with Gloria & Zacian in an in-game event titled “Battle Buffet Bash," where they'll engage in Pokémon battles at this culinary-themed festival on Pasio. In this event, players can earn in-game rewards and Prestige Points for completing battles. Players that earn over 100,000 Prestige Points during the event period, available now until December 6 at 9:59 p.m. Pacific time, will be entered in a ranking with other players around the world, with in-game rewards distributed according to player rank.

3,000 Gem Log-in Bonus. To commemorate the arrival of Gloria & Zacian, a gift of 3,000 Gems will be distributed to all players who log-in to the game from now until December 23 at 9:59 p.m. Pacific Time. A separate log-in bonus called the “Make Way for Gloria Log-In Bonus”, available now until December 20 at 9:59 p.m. Pacific time, will reward players that log-in to the game daily with up to 120 5★ Scout Tickets, enough to guarantee that players can add up to four 5★ sync pairs to their teams.
