Rival Trainers are a constant source of challenge (and occasionally irritation) in the world of Pokémon. You’re sure to find plenty of rivals during Pokémon Masters EX’s Revel in Rivalry event. Until July 3, 2022, at 10:59 p.m. PDT, you can earn gems, 3★ Support Move Candy, and 4★ Strike Move Candy by participating in this event, which features stories and battles with Trainers from all regions. Bede, a prominent Trainer from the Galar region (and who has been known to play the role of a rival himself), has also arrived on Pasio during the event alongside his sync pair partner Hatterene.
Bede & Hatterene
Bede & Hatterene are a Fairy-type Tech sync pair who know that a confused opponent is a vulnerable opponent. Both their move Psybeam and their max move G-Max Smite can leave opponents confused, and thanks to Bede & Hatterene’s passive skill Baffle Buff 9, their moves and sync move are powered up when targeting confused opponents. This is on top of the power boost that Bede & Hatterene’s sync move already gets when targeting a confused opponent.
Bede & Hatterene will be available in the Bede Poké Fair Scout until July 3, 2022, at 10:59 p.m. PDT. See below for a list of their moves and passive skills.
