Ingo's Party Prep—Way of the Butler (Japanese: ノボリ編　執事の心得 Nobori Edition: The Butler's Tips) was a costume event in Pokémon Masters EX, and a sub-story of the costume event Curious Tea Party. It was focused on the sync pair Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor.

The "Ingo Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor starting on April 14, 2022 and lasting until the end of the event.

During this event, players had to use a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing a story area in Curious Tea Party, to unlock the event's area info. Once unlocked, players could earn Event Vouchers T from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers and Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

Players could battle with Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist, Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena, Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor, or Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Darach & Staraptor to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Unova theme skill to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

This event featured a special riddle mission. In Pokémon Logistics, Darach presented Ingo with a riddle, which the player would have to answer. The player could give their answer by completing the battle "Solve Darach's Riddle!" using sync pairs with specific theme skills. Answering the riddle correctly would unlock Heart of Hospitalitea, in which Ingo gave the same answer.

During the second run of Curious Tea Party, this event's story and battles were combined with the other sub-stories into Solving Wonderful Mysteries.
