Pokemon Masters

Sensor Tower is reporting that Pokemon Masters EX managed to bring in $75 million from player spending in its first year. With that amount, it’s the second highest grossing Pokemon title on mobile – only behind Pokemon GO.

Here’s a further breakdown on the game’s first year:

Pokemon GO Mega Evolution

Pokemon GO recently implemented Mega Evolution, but some players were happy with its functionality. In response, Niantic has already updated the game with some changes. Other adjustments are in the pipeline as well.

Here’s the full rundown:

A new 5-star Summoning Focus is now being hosted in Fire Emblem Heroes. This latest event, Heroes with Duel Skills, have these Heroes’ stats treated as if they are 170 if they are 5-star Heroes, level 40, and have stats that are less than 170. The 5-star Heroes that can be summoned are Laegjarn: Sheathed Steel, Helbindi: Savage Scourge, and Loki: The Trickster. This event is active until September 11.

Additionally, a new Tactics Drills map is now available: Entwined Fates (Skill Studies, Hard).

Lastly, the latest Voting Gauntlet, Brave Reprisals, has entered Round 2, featuring Dimitri vs Claude and Edelgard vs Tiki. You can check out more details here. Round 2 will last until September 5.

The Platinum Showcase is now live in Dragalia Lost, bringing a guaranteed chance to get a light-attuned 5★ adventurer after the tenth summon. The light-attuned adventurers being featured in this event are Lucretia and Curran.

Similarly, a Light focused summon showcase has also started that will give a better chance to pull light-attuned adventurers. This is featuring the same two adventurers already mentioned as well as Tie Shan Gongzhu. 

Both of these events run until September 6, 2020 at 10:59pm PT.

Pokemon Masters has started a new egg event featuring Grass, Fire, and Water type Pokemon. In this event, you can receive eggs that will hatch into one of these three types and they have the chance of being one of six new Pokemon.

The six hatchable Pokemon in this event are:

Bulbasaur* (♂ only)
Squirtle* (♂ only)
Charmander* (♂ only)
Bellsprout (♀ only)
Goldeen (♀ only)
Growlithe (♂ only)

Once hatched, these Pokemon can be made into sync pairs with the main character. This hatching event will last until September 16, 2020 at 10:59pm PT. 

Fire Emblem Heroes is currently hosting a handful of new events.

First, a new set of Quests, Grand Hero Battles, is available. These coincide with the Grand Hero Battle Feat. Kempf: Conniving General, and will allow players to receive the 3-star version of this Hero. These quests will be available until September 9.

Next, the third Lost Lore Spoils is now live until September 12. This event will allow players to send scouts out for rewards.

Finally, the latest Mjölnir’s Strike is now in its Brace Phase. This one is lead by Death Knight. The Brace Phase lasts until September 4, Shield Phase from September 4 to September 5, and the Counter Phase from September 5 to September 6.
