Pokemon Masters EX Reroll Guide: How to get the best sync pairs

Easy to get the best pairs!

So you have downloaded Pokemon Masters EX and started playing, you are probably wondering, who is good?  What trainer-pokemon pairs are worth leveling? Should I reroll? For the uninitiated, rerolling is the practice of repeatedly deleting a save file and restarting, with the intention of trying your luck scouting for better sync pairs. To use an analogy, it is the equivalent of discarding a hand, shuffling it back into the deck, and drawing a new hand. The new hand might not be better than the previous, but over an infinite number of attempts, that royal flush will turn up. So for the same, let us discuss how you can reroll and also the best sync pairs in this Pokemon Masters EX guide.

A guide to reroll in Pokemon Masters EX

The process of rerolling in Pokemon Masters is quite simple, as mentioned below.

  1. Play through the tutorial: This is the initial phase of the game where you learn the basic mechanics and get introduced to the storyline.
  2. Collect the apology and other gems from the Present Box: Developers may sometimes issue apology rewards or other bonuses, and these can be collected from the Present Box.
  3. Go to the shop and Sync Pair Scout: Use the collected gems to perform Sync Pair Scouts, which are essentially character summons. This is where you’ll try to obtain the specific units you’re looking for.
  4. If you pull the units you are looking for, you are done: If you successfully get the desired units, you can continue playing with your new team.
  5. If you didn’t pull the units you are looking for: If your initial Sync Pair Scout did not give you the characters you want, you can proceed to the next step.
  6. Click on the Poryphone, go to the Account menu, and ‘Delete Save Data’: This step involves deleting your current game progress and starting the game anew to reroll for characters again.

Repeat these steps until you have pulled the sync pairs that you are looking for. Assuming infinite attempts, any combination of sync pairs is possible. Practically speaking, as humans we are all limited by time and patience. The most common rule of thumb while rerolling is to pick 2 or 3 sync pairs that are must-have.

Here is a helpful trick to make the Pokemon Masters reroll guide more effective. Use two or more phones. If a collection of units from a reroll is interesting but isn’t quite perfect, that phone can be put aside. Then, simply continue rerolling on another phone.

This allows a player to “save” a particularly good roll while searching for something better. A player may freely transfer an account to another device by linking to a Nintendo Account. So, having an ideal roll on an old phone is not an issue.

What to look for when doing reroll in Pokemon Masters EX

Now for the important question: What sync pairs should I reroll for? As a general disclaimer, in any Gacha game like Pokémon Masters, a player should always prioritize rerolling for favorites. This is because a favorite sync pair will provide the most enjoyment while playing the game. After all, we play games for fun, don’t we?

Aside from favorites, players will typically look for a collection including the most powerful 5-star sync pairs. 5-star units are the most desirable because they are the most difficult to obtain through Sync Pair Scout. What follows is a list of the top star sync pairs currently in the game to prioritize rerolling for. This is a subjective priority list based on power and usefulness alone.

1. Olivia & Lycanroc

Olivia possesses tremendous power, earning her a reputation as the strongest sync pair in Pokémon Masters EX. She has an ideal move set for a striker and finds use in many of the VH EX challenges. That said, Olivia is often overrated by many players who claim that she is “necessary” for end-game content. This isn’t entirely accurate. Olivia is only necessary for arguably one of the VH EX challenge courses currently released. So, if a great reroll does not include Olivia, she should not be considered a deal-breaker.

2. Kris & Totodile/Feraligatr

At the time of writing, Kris is considered the strongest Water-type striker. She boasts a good move set and surprising durability, thanks to her Endurance passive ability. Kris is somewhat hindered by Mega Kick’s low base accuracy and is not as overwhelmingly powerful as either Olivia or Brendan. However, Kris holds more value than her performance in a vacuum would otherwise indicate. She plays an important role in several of the VH EX challenges and is not easily replaced.

3. Brendan & Treecko

Generally considered the second-best sync pair in the game, Brendan boasts an incredible move set. Additionally, many players expect that he will be able to evolve Treecko into Sceptile in the future, providing him with a further increase in power.

Brendan falls short of Olivia for one primary reason: Leaf Storm suffers from 90% accuracy. This accuracy issue often causes him to miss at inopportune times. However, Brendan can to some extent be replaced by the 4* sync pair Gardenia & Roserade. Gardenia’s existence makes Brendan less indispensable despite him being a stronger sync pair than Kris.

4. Phoebe & Dusclops

Phoebe & Dusclops are regarded as the best support pair in Pokémon Masters, a title that neither Lyra nor Hilbert was able to wrest from her. Phoebe is potent because she combines some of the best buffs in the game with a surprisingly decent offense, thanks to the high base power of Double Edge. She is uniquely effective in co-op with the ability to pass some of her buffs on after she faints. However, support pairs, in general, aren’t as critically important. Both Rosa and Cheren are available to all players and may serve as substitutes for Phoebe.

5. Hilda & Tepig/Emboar

Hilda is considered the best Fire-type striker. Her main attack inflicts recoil damage, which can cause her to deal massive damage to herself. Hilda inflicts so much damage on herself that she is difficult to use, despite a kit dedicated to mitigating this flaw. Additionally, Hilda can be replaced in the majority of circumstances by Flint & Infernape, who are available to all players for free.

6. Blue & Pidgeot

Blue is considered the best Flying sync pair, and after achieving his mega evolution (triggered by his sync move), he becomes arguably the best sync pair in the game. Blue’s biggest issue is that he starts slow due to the low power of his attacks in base form.

This is problematic in co-op where sync moves take longer to build up, and using a sync move draws in attacks. As a result, Blue is challenging to use outside of coordinated teams. Nevertheless, he is helpful to have for Rosa EX, especially when playing Quick Connect.

Guide to other sync pairs in Pokemon Masters EX

These are the top sync pairs to keep an eye out for. Briefly touching on the other 5* sync pairs, they are good but not game-changers like the six listed above. Hilbert & Oshawott and Lyra & Chikorita/Meganium are strong support units, but they are not central to any strategies for end-game content. Karen & Houndoom is an okay striker; she is currently the only dark striker, and like Blue, she gains immense power after her sync moves through a mega evolution.

Unfortunately for Karen, her focus on mega-evolving punishes her in co-op, and there are no VH EX challenges that feature dark-type weaknesses. This isn’t to say that these characters aren’t good, far from it. Karen, Hilbert, and Lyra are all solid in their own right, and their presence should definitely be considered when deciding to keep an account or reroll; they just shouldn’t be your top priorities unless they are one of your favorites.

Once the gems are spent, it is time to take stock. The more of the top five-star sync pairs present, and the more of your favorites, the better. It generally isn’t worthwhile to fish for the “perfect” roll because humans have neither infinite time nor patience. What is “good enough” is going to vary from person to person.

Are you looking for the strongest pairs with the goal of clearing VH EX co-op in the future? Is Blue your favorite character from the Pokemon franchise, and all you care about is getting him? Do you just want as many 5-star sync pairs as possible? If you are only concerned with strength, the general recommendation is rerolling until you have Olivia, Brendan, and Kris.

Final Thoughts

Rerolling is a way to control luck. Pokémon Masters EX is a gacha game, and players are at the unrelenting mercy of random chance to obtain new sync pairs. Rerolling provides a method to influence chance and start with the units you want, provided you have the patience.

As with any gacha game, where content is continually added and released, the sync pairs that are the best now will likely not be the best in six months or a year. Rerolling may be a great way to get a head start or ensure that you have your favorite unit by your side, and this Pokemon Masters EX Reroll Guide is the best way to get through it.
