Legendary events (Japanese: 伝説ポケモンイベント Legendary Pokémon Event) are a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. These focus on a specific sync pair with a Legendary Pokémon.

Lurking Shadow

The first legendary event ran from December 5 to 18, 2019. It was focused on the sync pair, Giovanni and Mewtwo. As with other events, the player can earn vouchers to exchange with special items at the shop. Also, once the player collects 800 Custom Voucher 1, the final part of the story "A Questionable Alliance" is unlocked where the player is able to recruit Giovanni and Mewtwo.

Custom items can also be obtained to unlock moves and passive skills, increase the level cap and the potential of the Giovanni and Mewtwo sync pair.

Unlike previous events, this legendary event may return. As a result, vouchers are not automatically exchanged with coins, but will carry over.

This event reran from March 6 to 16, 2020. This included new single-player battles.

Plot

The event starts with Giovanni asking Mewtwo to sow seeds of chaos.

At the Pokémon Center, Trista relays news of a strong sync pair causing trouble and warns the player to take caution when exploring the beach.

Brock, Misty, and the player go out to the beach to help stop the trouble. They overhear some Team Break masked men discuss how strong the Trainer is and wonder whether they can make him their boss. However, one of them reveals that he had previously stated not being interested as he was already leader of Team Rainbow Rocket. Brock and Misty interrupt their conversation and Misty realizes that this must mean that Giovanni has come to Pasio. Brock explains to the player that Giovanni is the leader of Team Rocket in Kanto. They decide to stop him but the Team Break thugs try to stop them and start a battle. After being defeated, the masked men leave.

Brock, Misty and the player head into the cave where Giovanni is. After some time, they eventually find him. Misty confronts Giovanni asking what he is up to despite Team Rocket having being disbanded. Giovanni is surprised that Team Roket is disbanded and guesses he is doomed to be a criminal no matter which world he is in.

Giovanni reveals he was able to mine a sync stone from the cave. He reveals his aim to bend the power of the sync stone to his will and to unleash the hidden power in them. He brings out Mewtwo and battles them to see what the sync stone is capable of.

After the battle, Giovanni sees that it is possible for the bond of a sync pair to manifest great strength. Brock doubts Giovanni will give up on seeking power and believes he was not treating that as a serious battle. Giovanni remarks that the battle was a test run. He dares the player to follow him to for a rematch and then disappears with a snap of his fingers.

The player finally corners Giovanni in a cave. He admits being impressed with the team's full power and asks whether they would like to work with him. Brock does not want to get involved with his evil schemes. Giovanni understands their doubts and states he has been thinking about changing his ways and starting afresh in this new part of the world. Both Brock and Misty are sceptical but Brock suggests that the player could keep an eye on Giovanni by letting him join the team. Giovanni promises not to get involved with Team Break and just to enjoy the PML. As they leave, Giovanni reflects that he has been able to infiltrate their unit successfully and is still deciding whether to truly start afresh or to plan something else.

The Beast That Devours the Sun

The second legendary event ran from January 1 to 22, 2020. It was focused on the Solgaleo. As with other events, players can earn vouchers to exchange with special items at the shop. Also, once the player collects 100 Custom Voucher 2, the final part of the story "A Shining New Friend" is unlocked where the player is able to recruit Scottie/Bettie and Solgaleo.

Custom items can also be obtained to unlock moves and passive skills, increase the level cap and the potential of the Scottie/Bettie and Solgaleo sync pair.

Vouchers are not automatically exchanged with coins once the event is finished, and will remain in the player's bag.

This event reran from April 6 to 24, 2020.

This event ran for a third time from December 7 to January 3, 2020. For this rerun, the vouchers and custom items were replaced with Legendary Prize Coins that could be used to draw items from a Prize Box pool. If the grand prize is drawn, players can advance to the next pool; the grand prizes include 3★ Level-Up Manuals, Co-op Sync Orbs, a 3★ Tech Move Candy, a 4★ Tech Move Candy, 5★ Scout Tickets, and a Strike Move Candy Coin. Players could also exchange Legendary Prize Coins for items in the shop. Extra Legendary Prize Coins are automatically exchanged with coins once the event is finished.

Plot

The event starts with Rachel believing that Team Break have teleported a strong sync pair to Pasio.

At the Pokémon Center, Professor Bellis greets the player and tells them about the rumors of a strong Pokémon that has arrived at a mountain peak. Like Rachel, Professor Bellis believes that it must be a new sync pair and wonders who the Trainer is.

The player then joins Hau and Roxie early in the morning to catch the sunrise up on the mountain as well as to see this mysterious Pokémon. After defeating a Hiker itching for a battle, the trio arrive at the peak where many Trainers have gathered. Just as the sun rises, Solgaleo appears but with no sync pair Trainer in sight. Along with a wild Ponyta and Solrock that have come along with Solgaleo, the three Pokémon defeat all the Trainers on the mountain peak.

Solgaleo then challenges the player, Hau, and Roxie to a battle. After the player defeats Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon returns for a repeat battle, having re-energised itself by taking up the sunshine. After multiple battles, Solgaleo appears satisfied with its fill of battles and the trio head back down the mountain. However, Solgaleo follows them down, and Hau realises that Solgaleo would like to become a sync pair with the player.
