Steven (Masters): Difference between revisions

Steven in his Anniversary 2021 seasonal outfit forms a sync pair with {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}}, which is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. This sync pair was first made through a Master Fair Scout available on September 1, 2021 to coincide with the story event [[Hearts United]]. This pair can be raised to {{6EX}} from the day it was released.

Steven also forms a sync pair with his {{p|Cradily}}. This pair can be obtained by reaching Friendship Level 100 with Steven in the [[Trainer Lodge]] beginning on March 31, 2023. This pair can be raised to {{6EX}} since its release, though this pair lacks an EX style.

==Metagross==

Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 03001, which allows "Battle! (Steven) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the {{mas|Jukebox}}.

==Trivia==

* During the [[story event]] [[Hearts United]], Steven makes a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to [[Alain]] and his battle against a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} alongside him in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', wishing to grow strong enough to surpass him alongside his Rayquaza partner.

* Steven's Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to acquire a boost in only a single stat upon Mega Evolution (which is its {{stat|Speed}} stat).

* All versions of Steven use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include {{mas|Brendan}}, {{mas|May}}, {{mas|Roxanne}}, {{mas|Brawly}}, {{mas|Wallace}}, {{mas|Sidney}}, {{mas|Lisia}}, {{mas|Zinnia}}, and {{mas|Roark}}.

* Excluding Scottie and Bettie, Steven is the first Trainer to form six different sync pairs.
