The Blissful Bonanza event is live now in Pokemon Masters EX, bringing new event battles to challenge. These battles can be challenged once a day and give out 3 event tickets at random for winning (Happy, Joy, Bliss tickets).
There are also special battles with Happiny and Chansey happening on May 2 at 11:00pm PT and May 5 at 11:00pm PT. These offer even more tickets as rewards that can be exchanged for useful items. This event will last until May 6, 2021 at 10:59pm PT.
Also, the Battle Villa is open in Pokemon Masters EX until May 13, 2021 at 10:59pm PT. This runs alongside a five star-Select Special Scout that will end the day before on May 12.
A new Platinum Showcase has gone live in Dragalia Lost. This summoning showcase features the flame-attuned 5 star adventurers Faris and Child Ranzal. They will be available to summon until May 12, 2021 at 10:59pm PT.

This can only be accessed after completing Chapter 16 / 4-6 of the main story, and it offers a reward that gives players sixth and seventh wyrmprint slots for their flame-attuned Agito weapons. This battle is not easy though, as it has enemies that can change its elemental attunement mid-battle. Players can prepare two teams for this reason, so they can best repel enemy attacks.
