Description An incredibly impetuous, high-spirited young man who runs straight for what he wants without any hesitation, he has an earnest passion for Pokémon.

Barry (Japanese: ジュン Jun) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series games. He forms a sync pair with Piplup and its evolutions, Prinplup and Empoleon. The sync pair is obtained during the events of Chapter 2 of the Main Story. The pair's potential can be upgraded to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX from March 29, 2021, which unlocks Barry's EX Style.

Barry also forms a sync pair with his Roserade. This pair can be obtained by exchanging a BP Sync Pair Voucher beginning on August 28, 2023. This pair can be raised to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX since it first released, though this pair lacks an EX style.

Piplup → Prinplup → Empoleon

Piplup can evolve into Prinplup once it has reached level 30 through its sync pair story Piplup's Evolution, and then into Empoleon once it has reached level 45 through its sync pair story Prinplup's Evolution. Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 04002, which allows "Battle! (Barry) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the Jukebox.

Trivia

  • Barry's rival is Dawn, as Dawn mentions that Barry is her childhood friend.
  • In his sync pair story, Barry reveals that he keeps trying to fine people because he wants to gather money for his own Battle Tower so he could challenge his father there.
  • Barry's Empoleon is the only Pokémon in Pokémon Masters EX with a weakness it does not have in the core series games, as Empoleon is otherwise neutral to Grass due to its Water/Steel typing.

Origin

Barry's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Piplup is one of the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh in the core series games. Piplup and its evolutions are Barry's signature Pokémon if the player chooses Chimchar as their starter in the Sinnoh-based core series games. In addition, Barry's anime counterpart is depicted with an Empoleon. Piplup's Dex entry comes from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Prinplup's from Pokémon Diamond, and Empoleon's from Pokémon Pearl.

Roserade is a Pokémon Barry uses in the Sinnoh-based core series games if the player chooses Turtwig or Chimchar as their starter Pokémon. In addition, Barry's anime counterpart is depicted with a Roserade. Roserade's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
