An EX role[note 1] (Japanese: EXロール EX role) is an upgrade that can be applied to sync pairs in Pokémon Masters EX. Introduced in version 2.36.0, unlocking a sync pair's EX role will grant them a stat boost, and if the pair is also raised to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX, then they will gain an additional effect on their sync move.

Sync pairs normally have one of five possible roles: Strike, Support, Tech, Sprint, or Field. A pair's EX role will also be one of these five, but will differ from the pair's original role. The EX role of a given sync pair is pre-determined, meaning the player cannot freely select which role to have as a pair's EX role.

Not all sync pairs have EX roles, though EX roles are planned to be given to additional sync pairs in the future. This feature is currently limited to 5★ sync pairs, though like 6★ EX, this may be expanded to 3★ and 4★ sync pairs later on.

Mechanics

To unlock an EX role, a sync pair must use a roll cake matching the EX role. For example, VSBlue Champion Masters.pngMastersIcon0145.pngBlue (Champion) & Zapdos would need to use a Masters Strike Roll Cake.png Strike Roll Cake to unlock their Masters Special Strike.png Special Strike EX role.

Stat boost

Unlocking an EX role will grant a stat boost of 140 points to the sync pair. HP is always increased by 60 points, and the remaining 80 points are distributed among the other five stats. The distribution of these points varies, depending on what the EX role is:

EX role Stats gained
HP Attack Defense Sp. Atk Sp. Def Speed
Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike +60 +40 N/A +40 N/A N/A
Masters Support.png Support +60 N/A +40 N/A +40 N/A
Masters Tech.png Tech +60 +20 +20 +20 +20 N/A
Masters Field.png Field +60 N/A +20 N/A +20 +40
Masters Sprint.png Sprint +60 +20 N/A +20 N/A +40

Sync move effects

Normally, upgrading a sync pair to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX grants extra effects on their sync move, depending on the sync pair's role:

  • Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike : Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
  • Masters Tech.png Tech : Power of sync move increases by 50%.
  • Masters Support.png Support : The user's first sync move of each battle doubles the number of sync buffs granted to their team (from one to two). A sync move buff acts in stages, similar to a stat buff in the core series, with a +50% increase to overall damage per buff. Effectively, except in special circumstances, this boosts that team's damage from 1.5× after the first sync move to 2× instead.
  • Masters Sprint.png Sprint : The first time the user's sync move is used each battle, the sync move countdown is reduced by three.
  • Masters Field.png Field : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.

If a sync pair is raised to 6★ EX and unlocks their EX role (in either order), then they will have two role-based effects applied to their sync move: the effect matching their original role, and the effect matching their EX role. For example, a Masters Physical Strike.pngMasters Special Strike.png Strike sync pair that has unlocked a Masters Tech.png Tech EX role will have their sync move both attack all opponents (from the Strike role) and deal 50% more damage (from the Tech role).
