Pokémon Masters EX’s five-year anniversary celebration is coming to an end, and the creator of Pasio is dressing up to cap off the festivities! Adorned in golden swag alongside a swanky new partner, Lear is ready to make it rain as he brings even more shine to Pokémon Masters EX.

Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo are a Steel-type sprint sync pair who excel at doing damage with some serious coin. They have Gholdengo’s iconic Steel-type move Make It Rain at their disposal, but what’s even more impressive is their buddy move, Precious Make It Rain.Not only does this move have high power, but it also lowers the targets’ Sp. Def by three stat ranks and applies the Free Move Next effect to all allied sync pairs. Precious Make It Rain hits all targets—and does maximum damage no matter the number of targets—so it sets up plenty of opportunity for future specialattacks to really rack up numbers.

As benevolent king of all Pasio, Lear is ready to show his solidarity in this latest sync pair. Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo have the Trainer move Pasio Solidarity,which increases the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect and Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by one rank and applies Pasio Circle (Defensive) to the allied field of play. Pasio Circle (Defensive) powers up all allies’ moves and sync moves and reduces the damage allies take from moves and sync moves. These bonuses get even better the more sync pairs with the newly minted Pasio theme skill you have on your team!

That’s not all—Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo’s passive skill Royal Fortune grants additional bonuses to all allied sync pairs when Pasio Circle (Defensive) is in effect. Royal Fortune powers up all allies’ moves and sync moves, makes it so allies’ stats can’t be lowered, and prevents allies from being inflicted with status conditions, flinching, becoming confused, or becoming trapped. How rich is that?

For more details on this sync pair’s passive skills and moves, check out Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo’s in-game sync pair scout screen. Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo will be available to scout from September 16, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT to September 30, 2024, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.

Zinnia & Rayquaza

Zinnia fans, rejoice! One of the most difficult things to decide when specializing Zinnia & Rayquaza in dealing Dragon-type special damage with Draco Meteor is whether to pick the Critical Strike 2 lucky skill to maximize damage or the Dauntless lucky skill to avoid any loss to their Sp. Atk. The choice is easy with Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo’s Royal Fortune passive skill: you can now select Critical Strike 2 as Zinnia & Rayquaza’s lucky skill without worrying about Sp. Atk drops. Pasio Circle (Defensive) will still need to be in effect to usher in Royal Fortune, so keep that in mind while battling.

Zinnia & Rayquaza can be obtained by completing The Dragon That Rules the Sky in the Legendary Adventures section of the main story.

Raihan & Duraludon

If you’re looking for a Steel-type strike sync pair to stand alongside Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo, Raihan & Duraludon are one of your best bets. Raihan & Duraludon’s Steel Beam and sync move deal special damage, which combos nicely with Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo’s ability to lower their targets’ Sp. Def. This makes for an even greater boon once Raihan & Duraludon are raised to 6★ EX, as their sync move will hit all opponents. Sygna Suit Lear & Gholdengo’s Precious Make It Rain applying the Free Move Next effect to all allies can also make it easier for Raihan & Duraludon to fire off an extra Steel Beam without obliterating your move gauge.

Raihan & Duraludon are not currently available to scout, though they may return in the future!

Shine on, Trainers!
