Special battle event

Special battle events[note 1] (Japanese: 特別バトルイベント Special Battle Event) are limited-time events in Pokémon Masters EX where players face a series of difficult battles to earn rewards.
Four Trials
This event ran from July 16 to 30, 2022. It contained no story content, but players could earn rewards by completing special missions. Each mission could only be completed by taking on a specific battle, and each battle had three associated missions with the same basic objective:
- "The First Trial": Use a certain number of sync pairs with the
Passionate Spirit theme skill. - "The Second Trial": Use a certain number of supereffective attacks.
- "The Third Trial": Deal a certain amount of total damage.
- "The Fourth Trial": Deal a certain amount of damage with a single Pokémon move.
Fulfilling a condition was only counted towards a mission if the battle was completed. For example, dealing 4000 damage in "The Third Trial" and then quitting the battle would not count towards the total damage dealt during the battle.
Each mission in a set had progressively more difficult requirements, and completing each mission in the set would reward the player with a 3★, 4★, or 5★ Power-Up for completing the first, second, or third mission, respectively. Players received Gems for completing all missions.

| Wikstrom | Is your heart prepared for this? One last wall remains before you. You would do well to remember: defeat us, and then you will face the champion in battle! |
| Siebold | Devote yourself entirely, so even that which will fade and disappear is ingrained forever upon your heart and mind! That is the only fate for any human. You have drawn forth the strength of Pokémon with your own particular style and method. And now you can challenge the champion. |
| Serena | Welcome! We were waiting for you to show up! |
| Calem | We'll take you on as Pasio's Neo Champions, <player>. This isn't just about winning. It's about feeling each other's feelings... That's the kind of battle we're looking for! |
| Serena | So, I'm planning to share these battles against you with Calem, but... We have to decide who gets to go first! |
| Calem | That's true. I guess we should let <player> decide. Now, who will you face first? |
| Serena | Calem: I was hoping you'd choose me... |
| Calem | Calem: I'll surprise you with my new partner Pokémon. Serena: I guess the choice is yours... |
| Serena | Serena: Greninja and I will take you by surprise! |
| Calem | I'm curious about the reasoning behind your choice, but... |
| Serena | I'm sure we'll find out once we start battling! |
| Calem | Now then, shall we begin? |
| Serena | Show us just how much you and your friends shine! |
| Calem | Ready for this? |
| Serena | En garde! |

| Hop | The arena is absolutely packed, and everyone's all fired up! Hehe... Welcome, challenger! |
| Marnie | Sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be cheerin' for you today. 'Cause we're the ones who are gonna seize victory! |
| Bede | No matter how much one trains, there will always be a winner and a loser... The world of battling is cruel indeed. As Neo Champions, it's our duty to teach you that lesson. |
| Hop | And on that note! I'll be your first opponent, <player>! |
| Bede | Now, now... Just a moment. Perhaps you should leave this to me and just stand back and observe. You were completely lost when you went up against Articuno and I, weren't you, Mr. "Professor in Training"? |
| Hop | You're as charming as ever, even after becoming a Neo Champion... |
| Marnie | Well, Bede, if you're gonna bring THAT up... I guess that means me and Moltres should go first, since we handily beat you and Articuno. |
| Bede | Urk... W-well, that's... |
| Marnie | Though my partner and I did lose to Hop and Zapdos... So, don't ya think it's best if <player> decides who goes first? |
| Bede | Hmph. I suppose we've no choice but to leave the decision in <player>'s hands. |
| Hop | OK! Now that that's out of the way... |
| Hop | All right, <player>! Let's have a legendary battle that Pasio will always remember—no, one that'll change the course of its future! All of us sync pairs'll get stronger together! |
| Hop | We're gonna have an absolutely Neo Champion time! |

| Grimsley | Astonishing! You have defeated every member of the Unova region's Elite Four. But it isn't over yet. There is one more opponent against whom you must prove your strength! Though... I'm sure you already have a good idea of who that person is. |
| Nate | Welcome, challenger! Hehe! Just kidding. I've been waiting for you, <player>! Uh-huh... I can see it in your eyes... The bond you and your Pokémon forged... and the emotions you felt as you battled your way here! I think I can have a battle with you that'll touch everyone's hearts! Furthermore, as a Pasio Neo Champion... I can't wait to clash my feelings against yours! Pokémon-fan synergy can create a combination that's better than perfect! |
| Nate | Let's have ourselves an amazing battle that'll touch everyone's hearts! |
| Nate | You really are strong, <player>! Of course, I'm frustrated that I lost... but that was one heck of a battle we just had! In order for you to continue forging your path forward, and for me to continue getting stronger as a Neo Champion... it'd be great if we could battle again sometime! |

| Shauntal | "The woman was surprised that the challenger had defeated every member of the Unova Elite Four." You have earned the right to challenge the Neo Champion. Your story is yours and yours alone. Please weave a wonderful tale! |
| Rosa | Welcome, challenger! I've been waiting for you, <player>! What do you think deeply touches the hearts of people and Pokémon? Here's what I think... When a person and a Pokémon build a bond with each other, they feel all sorts of emotions when they're battling a powerful opponent... And the drama of that battle touches the hearts of everyone who's watching it unfold. I want this Pokémon battle to be like a movie... A movie that'll leave the audience feeling touched and fulfilled after they watch it. So today, I will not be playing the role of "friend"... I'd like to instead play the role of "Rosa, Pasio Neo Champion"—the opponent you're meant to battle! With our singing, our dancing, and our Pokémon... |
| Rosa | let's create an unforgettable masterpiece! |
| Rosa | Wow! Even though I gave it my all... You're impressive as always, <player>! But...I'm not that disappointed—in fact, I'm really happy! After all, we've created yet another work that I'll always remember! I look forward to the sequel to today's battle! |

| Karen | Well, aren't you good. I like that in a Trainer. Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on—the Champion is waiting. |
| Silver | Well, well, <player>. I knew you had what it takes to make it this far. But...your little win streak ends here. My Pokémon and I have gotten so much stronger as Neo Champions, you won't even recognize us... |
| Silver | We're gonna take you down! Battle us, here and now! |
| Silver | ...What an odd feeling. I lost, but I'm not mad about it... I'm gonna figure out why I lost and get stronger. And when I do, we're gonna come at you with everything we've got...and take you down. |
| Silver | Oh—one more thing, <player>. Don't forget to let your Pokémon rest and recover after battling. |
