Gameplay

To enter the Pokémon Masters League, players must collect at least five Badges by defeating the PML Leaders located in Pasio.[1] When recruiting a sync pair, the player can unlock a sync pair story.[2] The player also gain access to a Poryphone that contains various uses, including access to missions, the user's profile, and the friend list.
Sync pairs
- Main article: Sync pair
A sync pair is a pair consisting of one Pokémon Trainer and one Pokémon in Pokémon Masters. Each sync pair has one of three roles: strike sync pairs, which are focused on attacking; support sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing HP, and increasing stats of the whole team; and tech sync pairs, which are focused on different tactics, such as inflicting status alterations.
Sync pairs can be recruited by playing the main story, or through scouting.
Battle mechanics
Battles in Pokémon Masters take place in real-time instead of being turn-based. As a result, the outcome can be largely affected by how fast a Trainer can issue its commands to their team.
Before a battle, a team of up to three sync pairs can be created or chosen through preset teams. A score is given for each team, which can be compared to the battle's score; the higher a sync pair's level is, the higher the score will be. Each battle will indicate a recommended type that is super effective against the sync pairs in the upcoming battle, and choosing a trainer with a type advantage will further increase the team score.
When the battle starts, the player initially targets the sync pair in the center; the target can be changed by tapping on the sync pair the player wants to target. Each attack uses up a certain amount of energy from the move gauge, making it different than traditional Pokémon battles; the more damaging a move is, the more energy is used up from the move gauge. The gauge initially maxes out at 4 units, which can be increased to 6 by using coins. The speed at which the gauge fills up depends on sum of the Speed stat of the sync pairs in the player's team.
The opponent will always first target the strongest sync pair on the player's team, and will continue to do so until the player distracts them or the sync pair's Pokémon faints.
The battle is won when all sync pairs on a team have been eliminated. If the player wins, the sync pairs will gain experience and obtain items; what items will be obtained can be seen on the preparation screen. If the player loses, they are sent back to the Pokémon center.
Beside the real time mechanics that lead the duration based on turn to be now based on actual time in seconds, the battle system borrows the core mechanics from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with various differences:
- Flinch is now a status condition that makes the Pokémon in the pair unable to perform any move for a few seconds instead of just one move
- stage multipliers for statistics no longer work with a base fraction of 2/2, resulting in a +6 multiplier which is around 1.8
- the critical hit stage is now capped at 3
- using a sync move increases the stage multiplier of a new effect, whose actual influence on the stats is currently not specified
Reception
Before its release, Pokémon Masters had surpassed 5 million preregistrations.[3] Since launch, it surpassed 10 million downloads in four days[4] and made $25 million in revenue in its first week.[5]
Amid the lukewarm reception from the community, particularly on the lack of content, unfulfilling completion rewards, and difficulty of the game's mechanics, DeNA released out a letter from the producers, where they apologized for the delay on addressing the game's problems and promised to focus on the community's complaints first.[6]
