Type	Time trial event
First run	May 16 to June 2, 2024
Featured sync pairs	Poppy & Tinkaton

Strong AND Amazing (Japanese: つよくてすごいのです！ Strong and Amazing!) was a time trial event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Poppy & Tinkaton.

The "Poppy Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Poppy & Tinkaton from the beginning of the event to June 5, 2024.

During this event, players could challenge battles that had a timer to try to achieve the fastest possible time. They would receive a grade based on how quickly the battle was completed, and each grade awarded a different number of points. Players could earn various rewards based on the total number of points accumulated, including 5★ Scout Tickets and a 5★ Power-Up. A special story area could be unlocked after accumulating 10,000 points.

Event missions could be completed by clearing the battles in a certain amount of time, as well as clearing the battles quickly while using sync pairs with certain theme skills. Completing these awarded players with various rewards, such as Gems, medals, and Yellow Skill Feathers.

Initially, only four missions were available; additional missions were added over the first seven days of the event. Several of these could only be completed by clearing Challenge Raihan, which was unlocked on May 20, 2024. The 3★ and 4★ medals for this event could only be obtained after this battle was unlocked.

In addition, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. The title screen artwork depicted Poppy & Tinkaton and Rika & Clodsire, and the background music was Battle! (Paldea Elite Four: Poppy) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, a special voice-over line of Poppy or Rika saying "Pokémon Masters EX" would play as soon as the game's logo appeared on the title screen, chosen at random each time the game was loaded.

Plot

The player and several other Trainers who are competing in Pasio's time trials, including Raihan, are checking the rankings. They discover that the person in first place right now is a Trainer named Poppy, whom no one knows much about. Raihan notices that second place is Rika, making him realize Poppy must be strong if they're able to beat a member of the Paldea Elite Four. Raihan and wonders what Poppy is like, and the player suggests they're a muscled body builder like Bruno or a seasoned veteran like Opal. Suddenly, a young girl appears who says she knows Poppy, and Raihan asks if she can get him a battle with Poppy. She agrees and leads Raihan and the player to a field, where they can battle without damaging any of the surroundings. The girl then says she's gonna show him what she's all about and sends out her Tinkaton to battle.

Letting his guard down because she's a kid, Raihan is defeated by the young girl. He's frustrated to lose, but he's finally realized that this girl is Poppy. Rika arrives, calling out to Poppy, and reveals that Poppy is also a member of the Elite Four and possibly even stronger than Rika herself. Raihan says he felt that strength firsthand. Rika tells Poppy that they need to leave because the boss is looking for them, so Poppy says good-bye to the player and Raihan and hopes they can play again sometime. As the two leave, Raihan vows that he won't lose next time and observes that they've got another strong Trainer to contend with.
