Anniversary Sync Pairs: Three Anniversary-themed sync pairs, May (Anniversary 2022) & Latias, Skyla (Anniversary 2022) & Tornadus, and Raihan (Anniversary 2022) & Flygon, will be available in their own respective Poké Fair Scouts. All three sync pairs can reach a 6★EX Potential rating, which increases the strength of their sync moves.

• May (Anniversary2022) & Latias are a Psychic-type sync pair that can turn the battlefield into a Psychic Terrain, which powers up other Psychic attacks like Mist Ball. This duo also has the power to mega-evolve into Mega Latias after using their sync move. May (Anniversary 2022) & Latias are available to add to players’ teams until March 30 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
• Skyla (Anniversary 2022) & Tornadus are a Flying-type sync pair with passive skills that can increase the chance of an opponent flinching or getting confused when an attack is successful. Their sync move, Heartsoaring Hurricane, deals additional damage if the battlefield has been turned into a Flying Zone, which can be done with the move Flying Wish. This sync pair will be available to add to players’ teams from March 1 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time until March 30 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
• Raihan (Anniversary 2022) & Flygon are a Dragon-type sync pair that can unleash three different Dynamax moves. This duo can alter weather conditions on the battlefield with Sandstorm, which can be paired with Can’t Be Tamed, a move that powers up allied sync pairs during a sandstorm. This sync pair will be available to add to players’ teams from March 3 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time until March 30 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

Add Blue & Arcanine: Players will be able to add the Fire-type sync pair of Blue & Arcanine to their teams by completing the first Story level in Special Sync Pair Event: Blue & Arcanine. This sync pair can utilize Fire moves like Hyper Beam and Swift, an attack that never misses. This event will be available from now until March 16 at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Time for players who have completed Chapter 1 of the Main Story.

Complete Victory Road for Your Choice of the Kanto Trio: Victory Road is a new story and battle mode within Champion Stadium, where players join Rosa and Lillie to learn how to defeat high-difficulty opponents.

Players can also earn up to 5,000 Gems in Victory Road, which is available to players that have completed Champion Stadium on Normal.
