DeNA Co., Ltd. (henceforth DeNA), partnership with The Pokémon Company, unveiled information about upcoming mobile game “Pokémon Masters”. In Pokémon Masters, players will embark on a new adventure to form teams of Trainers and their partner Pokémon and engage in all new 3-on-3 real-time battles.
Take the treasured bond between Trainer and Pokémon to the next level in an all-new location—the island of Pasio—where Trainers from every Pokémon region gather to compete
Pokémon Masters takes place on the island of Pasio, where the rules of battle are different and the treasured bond between Trainer and Pokémon is taken to the next level with sync pairs—the combination of a Trainer and their partner Pokémon.
For the very first time in a Pokémon game, Trainers and their partner Pokémon from every Pokémon region will come together to form sync pairs.
Players can team up with duos such as Korrina & Lucario, Brendan & Treecko, Clair & Kingdra, and many more. With all sorts of Trainers on Pasio, there are sure to be some exciting and unexpected encounters in this new story.
There will be 65 sync pairs to recruit in Pokémon Masters at launch, with additional sync pairs to come following the game’s release.

Players will explore Pasio to meet various Trainers and make new friends while progressing through the story. Once a player has made friends with other sync pairs, they can recruit those friends to form a team of three sync pairs (meaning three Trainers and their three partner Pokémon) and battle AI (artificial intelligence) opponents to become champion of the prestigious Pokémon Masters League tournament.
Command a team of Pokémon and Trainers in 3-on-3, real-time battles in this strategy and battling game
Pokémon Masters introduces a new way to battle in the Pokémon world.
Players will command a squad of three sync pairs in real-time team battles and release a barrage of moves—all while the AI opponent unleashes theirs at the same time. For the very first time in a Pokémon game, players can also direct Trainers in battle to use moves and healing items to increase a Pokémon’s stats.
In addition to standard moves, players can occasionally deploy sync moves—powerful attacks performed by specific sync pairs.
Players will need to ration their move gauge, which refills over time, to deploy the best moves at the most opportune times to lead their squad to victory.
“The Pokémon brand has captured the imagination of the world, and we are honoured to create the newest Pokémon adventure for mobile devices with Pokémon Masters,” “We look forward to sharing new ways to battle when the game releases.”
Isao Moriyasu, CEO of DeNA.
Pokémon Masters planned to release globally on iOS and Android devices in summer 2019.
