October 22, 2020: An egg event and spotlight scout have been added
Our Pokémon Masters update guide will help you keep on top of all of the recent changes to the game. For those that don’t know, Pokémon Masters is the closest you can get to a proper Pokémon RPG on mobile. In a first for the series, it lets you bring up to three trainers into battle with you, and each of them has their own partner Pokémon. These mini-teams are known as sync pairs, and feature your favourite trainers and Pokémon from throughout the series’ history.
Not only that, but you can create your very own trainer in your own image, and choose from a bunch of different Pokémon to partner up with. The Pokémon you can bring into battle with you is constantly growing, so pretty soon you may well be able to bring your favourite Pokémon into battle with you.
In this guide, we’re going to round up each Pokémon Masters update as it happens. We draw the information from the regular messages that developer DeNA puts out, so it’s well worth bookmarking this guide and checking back often, as we’ll update it each time we learn new information.
