The ninth Arceus Arc Celebration was a special battle event in Pokémon Masters EX celebrating the addition of the ninth chapter of the Arceus arc to the main story. It was focused on the sync pairs Arc Suit Korrina & Lucario and Arc Suit Sabrina & Alakazam.
The "Korrina Arc Suit Fair" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Arc Suit Korrina & Lucario from the beginning of the event to May 7, 2026, and the "Sabrina Arc Suit Fair" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Arc Suit Sabrina & Alakazam from April 3 to May 7, 2026.
During this event, players could earn event points by completing battles. Players received rewards based on the number of points accumulated, including 5★ Scout Tickets, a Field Move Candy Coin, a 5★ Power-Up, and medals. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day.
The player could battle using Arc Suit Korrina & Lucario or Arc Suit Sabrina & Alakazam to obtain +0.6× bonus points; Olympia & Sigilyph or Serena & Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox to obtain +0.4× bonus points; and Professor Sycamore & Xerneas, Riley & Lucario, or any unlisted Kalos or Kanto sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus points.
This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with one or fewer sync pairs fainting and sync pairs with specific theme skills on the team.
Additionally, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. The title screen artwork depicted Arc Suit Korrina & Lucario and Arc Suit Sabrina & Alakazam, and the background music was 
Glorious Battle! (Korrina) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, a special voice-over line of Korrina or Sabrina saying "Pokémon Masters EX" would play as soon as the game's logo appeared on the title screen, chosen at random each time the title screen was loaded.

Trivia
- Professor Sycamore's individual +0.2× reward bonus in this event is completely redundant, as he would automatically have a +0.2× reward bonus due to having the Kalos theme skill.
