Pokémon Masters EX

The game suits players who care about Pokémon characters as much as battles. It collects Champions, Elite Four members, Gym Leaders and visitors from the past, with Trainers from regions such as Paldea and Hisui.

Stories tied to outfits exclusive to this game add a reason to follow individual Trainers. Players who want a collection of Trainer and Pokémon partners will get the most from it.

Battles are played three on three, with each Trainer paired with a Pokémon as a Sync Pair. The description frames wins as coming from the bond between the two.

Outside combat, the Trainer Lodge lets you interact with Trainers to deepen your bond and unlock special photos and stories. A photo mode lets you pick the Trainers, background, frame and effects, with up to three Trainers in one shot. Eggs can also be hatched to get new Pokémon for your team.

The game costs nothing to install, though it offers in-app purchases. It needs Android 7.0 or later. Version 2.74.1 arrived with the update of October 28, 2026, and the game first released on August 15, 2019.

The developer recommends a device with at least 2GB of RAM. Function is not guaranteed on every device, and support for the newest OS versions can take time.
