DeNA is actively enhancing the experience of Pokémon Masters EX by consistently introducing new events and features. One of the most exciting additions is the special event titled "Aim for the Top Super Sparring," which is currently live and offers players an engaging way to compete and earn rewards.
Special Event Overview: "Aim for the Top Super Sparring"
The event "Aim for the Top Super Sparring" runs from April 28, 2025, at 11:00 PM to May 6, 2025, at 10:59 PM. During this period, players will have the opportunity to utilize their trained Sync Pairs to improve their scores and climb the ranks. This event is formatted as a Ranked Damage Event, where players aim to achieve the highest score possible by battling opponents.
Understanding the Ranked Damage Event
The Ranked Damage Event is structured around three battles, with a scoring system that rewards players based on the amount of damage they inflict. Once a Sync Pair participates in a battle, they cannot engage in another until the battle is reset. Players are encouraged to maximize their scores within the designated time limit.
Scoring Mechanics
Your score in the event is determined by the damage dealt to opponents during battles. To maximize your score, it is essential to select Sync Pairs that can exploit the weaknesses of your adversaries. By utilizing powerful moves and applying status conditions, you can significantly increase the damage output, contributing to a higher score. It’s worth noting that any successful attack can contribute to your score, not just those that are super-effective.
Score Ranking System
Participants will receive a Score Rank based on the total damage done. The ranking system is classified into 15 distinct ranks, which range from Youngster to Leon. Here’s a brief overview of the Score Rank categories:
- Youngster 1: 0 – 99,999
- Youngster 2: 100,000 – 199,999
- Youngster 3: 200,000 – 299,999
- Ace Trainer 1: 300,000 – 399,999
- Ace Trainer 2: 400,000 – 499,999
- Ace Trainer 3: 500,000 – 599,999

By optimizing your team composition and strategies, you can achieve the best possible Score Rank.
Event Rewards
One of the exciting aspects of the "Aim for the Top Super Sparring" event is the rewards. Players can earn Nuggets through their performance, which can be exchanged for valuable items within the Special Event shop, "Rolling in Gold." Additionally, Training Tickets earned as event rewards can be used in the Training Ticket Exchange, where players can obtain exclusive Sync Pairs and Co-op Sync Orbs. This adds an element of strategy to the event, as players can decide how to best utilize their resources.
Time Limit for Battles
Each battle in the Ranked Damage Event comes with a time constraint. It’s crucial to continue fighting until the timer runs out to maximize your score. If you are eliminated before the time limit, you will be unable to earn a score for that battle. Therefore, strategic planning and execution are vital components of success.
Special Battle Parameters
Each battle may include unique parameters that can affect gameplay. For instance, some battles may include rules that reduce the damage dealt by allies through Sync Moves and Max Moves. However, not all battles will have these special conditions, so it’s important to be prepared for various scenarios.
Ranking and Leaderboard
After completing all of the battles, players will have their Best Score recorded. This score is crucial as it enables access to the event’s ranking feature, allowing participants to compare their performance against others. As players vie for the top spots, the leaderboard will reflect their progress, with the top 10,000 players achieving Master Rank status. This rank comes with exclusive titles, which can be claimed at the end of the ranking period. It’s essential to note that titles are only available for claim during the designated timeframe, as they cannot be obtained afterward.
Announcement of Ranking Results
The results for the rankings will be announced between May 8, 2025, at 11:00 PM and May 15, 2025, at 10:59 PM. Players should be aware that their scores might take some time to be updated in the game, reflecting the most recent battles.
Fair Play and Cheating Policy
To maintain a fair gaming environment, Pokémon Masters EX has stringent policies against cheating. The End User License Agreement (EULA) prohibits any form of inappropriate content or the use of automated means within the game. If any account engages in cheating, it may face restrictions or termination without prior notice. Players are reminded that accounts found to be cheating will be removed from the rankings, and any inquiries regarding account status will not receive detailed responses.
Important Participation Details
To join the "Aim for the Top Super Sparring" event, players must have completed Chapter 1 of the Main Story, titled "The More the Merrier," in single-player mode. Additionally, it’s important to keep in mind that the completion data for the area will not carry over to future events.
Moreover, the Sync Pairs that players face as opponents may possess different abilities from those available for players to obtain. This creates a unique challenge and adds layers to the strategy required to succeed in this event.
Conclusion
As Pokémon Masters EX continues to evolve, events like "Aim for the Top Super Sparring" provide players with opportunities to engage in competitive gameplay while earning valuable rewards. By understanding the scoring mechanics, optimizing team composition, and adhering to game rules, players can enhance their gaming experience and achieve their desired rankings in this exciting event.
