An EX role^[1] (Japanese: we'll get to that) is an additional role that a sync pair can achieve in Pokémon Masters EX. Introduced in version 2.36.0, unlocking a sync pair's EX role will raise the stats and strengthen the effects of a sync pair's sync move after that sync pair has been raised to 6★ EX.

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

Mechanics

To perform the 6★ EX upgrade, the target sync pair must increase their potential using 5★ Power-Ups ×20. Players will then be able to use 50 Champion Spirits (or Legendary Spirits for Legendary Adventures sync pairs). For sync pairs who start at a potential below 5★, their potential must first be upgraded to 5★ through the use of 3★ and 4★ Power-Ups before they can use 5★ Power-Ups.

Sync move effects

The sync move upgrade a sync pair receives upon reaching 6★ EX depends on the role of the sync pair:

Strike : Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
Tech : Power of sync move increases by 50%.
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.
Sprint : The first time the user's sync move is used each battle, the sync move countdown is reduced by three.
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.
