Pokemon Masters EX has added some new content; this time bringing a Seasonal Scout and a story event. The story event is Baking Buddies, which features Serena and Dawn who are wearing special outfits. This event has battles that can be completed to earn sweets which can be exchanged for letters that allow players to meet with Serena and Dawn.
Running alongside this event is a Seasonal Scout that features a five star version of the sync pair for Serena & Whimsicott. This special variant of Serena has her in a dessert-themed outfit, and she can lower the speed of opponents in battle. Both of these events will last until February 18, 2021 at 9:59pm PT and there is a gem-special going as well that will last until February 10, 2021 at 9:59pm PT.
