Each event focused on a specific [[sync pair]] already formed with a [[Legendary Pokémon]], or a character who would form a sync pair with a Legendary Pokémon over the course of the story. Completing the event story would allow players to team up with the sync pair, and completing other areas in the event would allow players to obtain items to power up the sync pair.


==Lurking Shadow==
Each legendary event featured a Legendary Pokémon from a different [[core series]] [[region]], which normally formed a sync pair with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} from that region. There was one legendary event corresponding to each core series region from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]].
The first legendary event ran from December 5 to 18, 2019. It was focused on the sync pair, [[Giovanni]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}. As with other events, players can earn vouchers to exchange with special items at the shop. Also, once the player collects 800 Custom Voucher 1, the final part of the story "A Questionable Alliance" is unlocked where the player is able to recruit Giovanni and Mewtwo.


Custom items can also be obtained to unlock [[List of moves in Pokémon Masters|moves]] and [[passive skill]]s, increase the level cap and the potential of the Giovanni and Mewtwo sync pair.
On November 24, 2021, this event type was formally retired. Stories that previously appeared as legendary events would become permanently accessible under the '''[[Legendary Adventures]]''' section of the main story, with one story added every ten days until all had been added.
Unlike previous events, this legendary event may return. As a result, vouchers are not automatically exchanged with coins, but will carry over.


===Plot===
==Format==
The event starts with Giovanni asking Mewtwo to sow seeds of chaos.
Originally, legendary events were structured similarly to most [[story event]]s, consisting of several story areas and several battle areas that were unlocked in an alternating fashion, as well as an exchange shop where players could exchange event items for rewards. The earliest legendary events also featured co-op battles, which allowed players to earn rewards in greater quantities than single-player battles. However, in these events, the final story area of the event—which, when completed, would allow players to team up with the featured sync pair—was only unlocked after obtaining a certain number of event vouchers. After completing this story area, players could exchange event vouchers for Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the featured sync pair, allowing them to maximize the pair's potential and move level.  


At the Pokémon Center, [[Trista]] relays news of a strong sync pair causing trouble and warns the player to take caution when exploring the beach.
These items cost hundreds or thousands of event vouchers, forcing players to spend a significant amount of time grinding event stages to obtain all items in the event. However, unlike other events, these legendary events were planned to rerun periodically. So, event items were not automatically exchanged for coins at the end of the event period, and instead remained in players' inventories to be used when the event next returned. When these events reran, the status of area info was not reset, meaning that areas unlocked in the initial run did not have to be unlocked again, but first-time rewards could not be obtained again.


Brock, Misty and the player go out to the beach to help stop the trouble. They overhear some [[Team Break]] masked men discuss how strong the Trainer is and wonder whether they can make him their boss. However, one of them reveals that he had previously stated not being interested as he was already leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. Brock and Misty interrupt their conversation and Misty realizes that this must mean that [[Giovanni]] has come to [[Pasio]]. Brock explains to the player that Giovanni is the leader of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]]. They decide to stop him but the Team Break thugs try to stop them and start a battle. After being defeated, the masked men leave.  
In addition to the vouchers that could be exchanged in the shop, players could also earn custom items from battles which were required to unlock level caps, moves, and passive skills for the featured sync pair. This format was maintained for the first three legendary events.


Brock, Misty and the player head into the cave where Giovanni is. After some time, they eventually find him. Misty confronts Giovanni asking what he is up to despite Team Rocket having being disbanded. Giovanni is surprised that Team Roket is disbanded and guesses he is doomed to be a criminal no matter which world he is in.
The next legendary event changed this format significantly. Rather than obtaining vouchers from battles, Prize Coins were obtained, which could be used to make pulls from a prize box pool. All battles were available from the start, and event area info was available as grand prizes from the prize box. The event pair's custom items could be obtained in prize pools. Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair could no longer be obtained, but a 5★ Strike Move Candy was available as one of the grand prizes from the prize box, allowing players to increase the move level of any 5★ Strike sync pair. This format was used for the fourth and fifth legendary events.
Giovanni reveals he was able to mine a sync stone from the cave. He reveals his aim to bend the power of the sync stone to his will and to unleash the hidden power in them. He brings out {{p|Mewtwo}} and battles them to see what the sync stone is capable of.  


After the battle, Giovanni sees that it is possible for the bond of a sync pair to manifest great strength. Brock doubts Giovanni will give up on seeking power and believes he was not treating that as a serious battle. Giovanni remarks that the battle was a test run. He dares the player to follow him to for a rematch and then disappears with a snap of his fingers.
After the prize box was introduced to legendary events, no events received reruns until November 2020, at which point the format was once again overhauled. Legendary event sync pairs were changed to no longer use custom items, and the generic Prize Coins were upgraded to Legendary Prize Coins that were colored based on the type of the featured sync pair. Event story and battle areas were once again unlocked in an alternating fashion, but now there was no prerequisite for unlocking the final story area besides completing the preceding battle. In addition, Legendary Prize Coins could be exchanged in the shop for Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair. This remained the general structure for legendary event reruns for the rest of the event type's lifespan.


The player finally corners Giovanni in a cave. He admits being impressed with the team's full power and asks whether they would like to work with him. Brock does not want to get involved with his evil schemes. Giovanni understands their doubts and states he has been thinking about changing his ways and starting afresh in this new part of the world. Both Brock and Misty are sceptical but Brock suggests that the player could keep an eye on Giovanni by letting him join the team. Giovanni promises not to get involved with Team Break and just to enjoy the PML. As they leave, Giovanni reflects that he has been able to infiltrate their unit successfully and is still deciding whether to truly start afresh or to plan something else.
New legendary events created after this also had the same structure, but new area info and Custom ★ Power-Ups were obtained as grand prizes in the prize box, and additional copies of the featured sync pair were obtained by completing event missions. This change in acquisition of Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair carried over to other legendary event reruns as well.

===Plot===
==See also==
The event starts with [[Rachel]] believing that [[Team Break]] have teleported a strong sync pair to [[Pasio]].


At the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Bellis]] greets the player and tells them about the rumors of a strong Pokémon that has arrived at a mountain peak. Like Rachel, Professor Bellis believes that it must be a new sync pair and wonders who the Trainer is.

The player then joins [[Hau]] and [[Roxie]] early in the morning to catch the sunrise up on the mountain as well as to see this mysterious Pokémon. After defeating a Hiker itching for a battle, the trio arrive at the peak where many Trainers have gathered. Just as the sun rises, {{p|Solgaleo}} appears but with no sync pair Trainer in sight. Along with a wild {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Solrock}} that have come along with Solgaleo, the three Pokémon defeat all the Trainers on the mountain peak.
{{Project Sidegames notice}}
 
Solgaleo then challenges the player, Hau, and Roxie to a battle. After the player defeats Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon returns for a repeat battle, having re-energised itself by taking up the sunshine. After multiple battles, Solgaleo appears satisfied with its fill of battles and the trio head back down the mountain. However, Solgaleo follows them down, and Hau realises that Solgaleo would like to become a sync pair with the player.

==The Dragon That Rules the Sky==
The third legendary event run from January 30 to February 14, 2020. It was focused on the sync pair, [[Zinnia]] and {{p|Rayquaza}}. As with other events, players can earn vouchers to exchange with special items at the shop. Also, once the player collects 100 Custom Voucher 3, the final part of the story "A New Beginning" is unlocked where the player is able to recruit Zinnia and Rayquaza.
 
Custom items can also be obtained to unlock [[List of moves in Pokémon Masters|moves]] and [[passive skill]]s, increase the level cap and the potential of the Zinnia and Rayquaza sync pair.
Vouchers are not automatically exchanged with coins once the event is finished, and will remain in the player's bag.
 
===Plot===
The event begins with [[Zinnia]] trying to locate {{p|Rayquaza}} at the glaciers.
 
At the Pokémon Center, Trista warns the player that there have been sightings of an unknown {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon near the glaciers. She claims that the Pokémon doesn't seem to have a Trainer, and is attacking anyone who comes near it.
 
Then player meets [[Professor Kukui]] at the glaciers, who has also come after having heard news of this Pokémon. He wonders why it is here with no Trainer and remarks that this is not the fist time a lone Pokémon has suddenly appeared.
 
Zinnia then attacks out of nowhere. Kukui is surprised at the attack but Zinnia rebuts that she was attacked earlier by [[Team Break]]. Kukui reassures her that they are not with Team Break, but Zinnia still battles them to prevent them from passing through.
 
After the battle, Zinnia admits that she is here for Rayquaza. Kukui wants to help her in case Team Break reappears, but Zinnia asks them to stay out of the way and heads off. Concerned, they follow after her.
 
Although they are not interrupted by Team Break on the way, Kukui is still worried that Rayquaza will be too strong for Zinnia alone. When Rayquaza attacks, Kukui and the player help to protect Zinnia and her {{p|Salamence}}. Kukui heals Salamence. Zinnia then reveals that her reason for approaching Rayquaza is because she was previously unable to fulfil a mission to save the world with Rayquaza. When she had heard Rayqauza was in Pasio, it had felt like a second chance to her.
 
Reluctantly, Zinnia agrees to enlist the help of Kukui and the player. After they defeat Rayquaza, Zinnia opens her heart and asks Rayquaza to lend her its strength so that she could one day fulfil her mission.
 
Rayquaza joins Zinnia, but Zinnia feels that it joined under one condition - to battle Kukui and the player again.

A legendary event[note 1] (Japanese: 伝説ポケモンイベント Legendary Pokémon Event) was a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. Each event focused on a specific sync pair already formed with a Legendary Pokémon, or a character who would form a sync pair with a Legendary Pokémon over the course of the story. Completing the event story would allow players to team up with the sync pair, and completing other areas in the event would allow players to obtain items to power up the sync pair.

Each legendary event featured a Legendary Pokémon from a different core series region, which normally formed a sync pair with a Trainer from that region. There was one legendary event corresponding to each core series region from Kanto to Galar.

On November 24, 2021, this event type was formally retired. Stories that previously appeared as legendary events would become permanently accessible under the Legendary Adventures section of the main story, with one story added every ten days until all had been added.

Format

Originally, legendary events were structured similarly to most story events, consisting of several story areas and several battle areas that were unlocked in an alternating fashion, as well as an exchange shop where players could exchange event items for rewards. The earliest legendary events also featured co-op battles, which allowed players to earn rewards in greater quantities than single-player battles. However, in these events, the final story area of the event—which, when completed, would allow players to team up with the featured sync pair—was only unlocked after obtaining a certain number of event vouchers. After completing this story area, players could exchange event vouchers for Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the featured sync pair, allowing them to maximize the pair's potential and move level.

These items cost hundreds or thousands of event vouchers, forcing players to spend a significant amount of time grinding event stages to obtain all items in the event. However, unlike other events, these legendary events were planned to rerun periodically. So, event items were not automatically exchanged for coins at the end of the event period, and instead remained in players' inventories to be used when the event next returned. When these events reran, the status of area info was not reset, meaning that areas unlocked in the initial run did not have to be unlocked again, but first-time rewards could not be obtained again.

In addition to the vouchers that could be exchanged in the shop, players could also earn custom items from battles which were required to unlock level caps, moves, and passive skills for the featured sync pair. This format was maintained for the first three legendary events.

The next legendary event changed this format significantly. Rather than obtaining vouchers from battles, Prize Coins were obtained, which could be used to make pulls from a prize box pool. All battles were available from the start, and event area info was available as grand prizes from the prize box. The event pair's custom items could be obtained in prize pools. Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair could no longer be obtained, but a 5★ Strike Move Candy was available as one of the grand prizes from the prize box, allowing players to increase the move level of any 5★ Strike sync pair. This format was used for the fourth and fifth legendary events.

After the prize box was introduced to legendary events, no events received reruns until November 2020, at which point the format was once again overhauled. Legendary event sync pairs were changed to no longer use custom items, and the generic Prize Coins were upgraded to Legendary Prize Coins that were colored based on the type of the featured sync pair. Event story and battle areas were once again unlocked in an alternating fashion, but now there was no prerequisite for unlocking the final story area besides completing the preceding battle. In addition, Legendary Prize Coins could be exchanged in the shop for Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair. This remained the general structure for legendary event reruns for the rest of the event type's lifespan.

New legendary events created after this also had the same structure, but new area info and Custom ★ Power-Ups were obtained as grand prizes in the prize box, and additional copies of the featured sync pair were obtained by completing event missions. This change in acquisition of Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the sync pair carried over to other legendary event reruns as well.

"The reason why sync pairs on Pasio can Dynamax will be revealed in the Howling Shield of Eternity legendary event, which we discuss below." "The Give and Take legendary event begins today." "Similar to legendary events, we’d like to add more chances for you to team up with sync pairs just by playing the game."
