Pokemon Masters EX is celebrating its third anniversary by introducing new game modes, events and Sync Pairs, including the most iconic of all Pokemon duos. For the first time in a Pokemon video game, players can battle as Ash Ketchum himself.

Ash and Pikachu are arguably one of the most recognisable duo in the gaming world, and this marks the first time players can fight as them. This Sync Pair also introduces the first-ever buddy move to the game, B Thunderbolt. The duo also has the cinematic sync move Best Buds 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, a mouthful of a damaging move. The Ash Master Fair Scout is available until October 16th, giving plenty of time to collect this iconic team.

To celebrate this noteworthy occasion, three Special Events are currently underway featuring the duo. The Blazing Battle with Ash follows the titular character entering a tournament for trainers who just arrived on Pasio. Challenge from Ash tasks the player with going head to head with the young trainer, and The Classic Thunderbolt is a 1-on-1 battle with Ash & Pikachu standing against the Main Character & their Pikachu in a truely electrifying bout.

In addition to this new pair, three other pairs are being introduced. Giovanni (Classic) & Persian are available to earn now by taking part in the Special Sync Pair Event: Giovanni & Persian. Sygna Suit Cynthia (Aura) & Lucario will be available to scout from August 29th till October 2nd, featuring a new Buddy Move, B Aura Sphere. Finally Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) & Pikachu will be available to scout August 31st till October 2nd, and will have the ability to Dynamax to deal huge damage.

A new mode is also being released, called the Trainer Lodge. This gives players the opportunity to interact with and build friendships with many of the Trainers on Pasio. Certain Trainers can be invited as guests and discuss various topics, obtain Scrapbook Photos and Friendship Stories, or be sent off on expeditions to earn rewards.

Pokemon Masters EX is available to download now on the App Store and Google Play.
