Family Ties: Difference between revisions

The event first ran from September 10 to October 1, 2020. The "Lusamine Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lusamine and Pheromosa for the duration of the event. The "Gladion Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Gladion and Silvally starting on September 14, 2020 and lasting until the end of the event. The "Lillie Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lillie and Clefairy starting on September 17, 2020 and lasting until the end of the event.

In this run, players could earn travel tokens from "Challenge Pasio's Trainers" single-player battles. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Challenge Pasio's Trainers: Part 5, which could only be challenged once per day. The player could use travel tokens to move to an adjacent space on the event map, collecting the item on that space. Reaching the checkpoint on a map would allow the player to unlock a new story area, if one was available, and advance to the next map. In addition, the maps would occasionally include a story sub-area that could be unlocked when the player moved to that space. Once all the story sub-areas had been unlocked, the player could find grand prizes on the map, which included Power-Up items, a Strike Move Candy Coin, a Tech Move Candy Coin, and Co-op Sync Orbs. Extra travel tokens were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using {{sync|Lusamine|Pheromosa}}, {{sync|Gladion|Silvally}}, or {{sync|Lillie|Clefairy}} to obtain +0.6× bonus travel tokens; {{sync|Brendan|Treecko}}/Grovyle/Sceptile or {{sync|Wally|Gallade}} to obtain +0.4× bonus travel tokens; and {{sync|Koga|Crobat}}, {{sync|Janine|Ariados}}, or {{sync|Norman|Slaking}} to obtain +0.2× bonus travel tokens.  

The event reran from September 7 to 17, 2021 as a part of the Two-Year Anniversary Rerun Event. This run only contained the story areas and the battles between them; the event map, travel tokens, Challenge Pasio's Trainers: Part 3, Challenge Pasio's Trainers: Part 4, Challenge Pasio's Trainers: Part 5, and Full-Force Battles did not return. In addition, no missions were available, and no medals could be earned.

The event reran again from February 22 to March 7, 2024.

The player is first introduced to Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine at the Pokémon Center, where Lillie asks the player if they could help them train for an upcoming family event. Outside, the player character teams up with {{mas|Koga}} and {{mas|Janine}} to help Lillie and her family learn the battle style of [[Pasio]]; however, the three have trouble getting into sync. When the player steps in for Lusamine, the team appears to be in better sync, and Lusamine seems to think she understands what is wrong. Later, the day of the family battle has arrived, however, the trio note that they are still having trouble with battling together.

In a series of vignettes, Lillie takes the player to search for her Clefairy along the mountain path, and they find her waiting with Gladion for Lillie to arrive; Gladion searches for a Pokémon that can produce string so he can fix a rip in his clothes, but when he obtains it from a Trainer with a {{p|Spinarak}}, he instead uses it to fix the players clothes, which were ripped while they were searching; {{mas|Hapu}} introduces Gladion to {{mas|Grimsley}}, whom Gladion recognizes as someone of a similar personality who can help him become stronger, and Hapu gives him the nickname "Gladion the Gladiator" to Lillie, Grimsley, and {{mas|Shauntal}}'s delight and Gladion's dismay; Lillie teams up with {{mas|Erika}} and Caitlin to battle, and Gladion and {{mas|Darach}} note the hard work she is putting into improving as a Trainer; Nanu and Olivia encounter Pheromosa, but Lusamine stops them from attacking it, explaining that it appeared to her one-day and has joined her in a sync pair, and when Bugsy and {{mas|Viola}} arrive and begin admiring Pheromosa, Nanu backs off; {{mas|Acerola}} and Serena find Lusamine watching Lillie shopping for clothes with {{mas|Lisia}} and {{mas|Candice}} from a distance, and they try to convince her to let Lillie make her own choices, even when Clair joins the shopping group; Lusamine and Guzma encounter each other on the street, and Guzma notes that Lusamine has changed from the power-hungry person he used to admire, but he says that Lillie and Gladion deserve to have the current Lusamine, who cares for them, and Lusamine muses that Guzma has also changed as he leaves; Lillie and Gladion join Lance, Clair, Tate, and Liza in the field to train, and Gladion notes how the relationships between them affect their teamwork in battles, but the others reply that he and Lillie have a similarly good relationship, as well; Lusamine encounters Silvally while searching for Pheromosa on the beach, and she wonders if it hates her for her role in its creation, but Gladion arrives and tells her Silvally prefers to look to the future over dwelling on the past and encourages her to do the same; and after a battle against another Trainer team, Gladion notes that Lusamine and Pheromosa are stronger than him and Silvally and declares his intention to get stronger, and when Lillie makes a similar declaration, Lusamine challenges to try to surpass her strength.
