Tiered Scouts: A Closer Look
Understanding Tiered Scouts
Tiered Scouts are a unique feature that allows players to progress through different tiers with each scouting attempt. The Gladion Costume Tiered Scout consists of ten tiers, and players can only use paid gems to participate. Advancing to higher tiers unlocks special rewards, including tickets that can be utilized in a Ticket Scout.
Rewards for Tier Progression
By reaching Tier 5 and Tier 10 in the Gladion Costume Tiered Scout, players will receive exclusive tickets for the Ticket Scout. These tickets provide additional chances to team up with the featured costume sync pair.
Ticket Scout Details
Guaranteed Characters
The Ticket Scout offers players a guaranteed 5-star sync pair when using tickets earned through the Tiered Scout. Players who obtain tickets in Tier 5 can use them in the Gladion Costume Featured Ticket Scout, which has a higher likelihood of featuring Gladion (Academy) and Porygon-Z. Additionally, tickets earned in Tier 10 can be redeemed in the Gladion Costume Guaranteed Ticket Scout, ensuring that players can secure this coveted sync pair.
