Pokémon’s strongest Trainers are gathering on Pasio for a rumble. Pokémon Masters EX's Strongest Fighters solo event will take place until August 5, 2022, at 10:59 p.m. PDT. Gloria has also arrived on Pasio—alongside Rapid Strike Style Urshifu—to challenge fellow Trainers in her brand-new dojo uniform from Galar’s Isle of Armor.
Gloria (Dojo Uniform) & Urshifu
Gloria (Dojo Uniform) & Urshifu are a Water-type tech sync pair ready to dive into battle with powerful max moves and their signature multistrike move, Surging Strikes. Surging Strikes unleashes a flurry of blows guaranteed to land a critical hit with each strike. Combine this with Punishing Strike 9, their powerful passive skill that lowers the opponent’s Defense each time the user lands a successful hit, and you’ll be washing over opponents in no time.

Recommended Partner Pairs
May & Swampert
May & Swampert can power up their own Sp. Atk and critical-hit rate with the Trainer move Ready for This? while also charging their move gauge, making the pair a strong offensive and supportive option. More importantly, May & Swampert have the move Rain Dance, which makes the weather rainy and buffs Water-type moves for all Pokémon. This makes Gloria (Dojo Uniform) & Urshifu’s Surging Strikes, G-Max Rapid Flow, and sync move pack even more of a punch. May & Swampert are available to scout from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Hoenn Ticket Scout.
Hilbert & Samurott
Hilbert & Samurott are a powerful physical support sync pair capable of buffing their teammates’ Speed with X Speed All, as well as teammates’ Attack with In This Together! Hilbert & Samurott can raise Gloria (Dojo Uniform) & Urshifu’s Speed and Attack, allowing them to swiftly flood the field with damage without relying solely on their Trainer move, Flow Like Water!, for raised Attack. Pasio’s Trainers won’t know what hit them. Hilbert & Samurott are available to scout from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Unova Ticket Scout.
