Double Trouble

This event ran from July 9 to September 17, 2020. It focused on Team Rocket and tied in to Secrets of the Jungle. Jessie & Arbok could be recruited during the course of the event.

This event reran from December 18, 2020, to January 25, 2021. The rewards were not reset from the first run.

Plot

Jessie, James, and Meowth have somehow wound up on Pasio while chasing a Shiny Celebi on their way to a jungle. Seeing Team Break is after Celebi too, they pretend to be out to protect Celebi and enlist the player's help in doing so. After defeating a Team Break member and getting another one to fall into one of their pitfall traps, Team Rocket finds Celebi cornered by Team Break. With the help of the Trainers they helped along the way, Team Rocket and the player defeat Team Break and force them to retreat, although Celebi too escapes in the process. Not wanting to leave Pasio empty-handed, Jessie pretends to join the player's team in order to gain their trust and hopefully steal their team's partner Pokémon.

Blasting Off Again

This event ran from September 17, 2020, to January 25, 2021. It also focused on Team Rocket and tied in to Secrets of the Jungle. James & Weezing could be recruited during the course of the event.

Plot

Hearing of a fireworks festival on Pasio, Team Rocket decides to use it as a cover to steal partner Pokémon from sync pairs. Their cover-up story of other bad guys attempting to disturb the festival turns out to be accidentally accurate when the player spots a group of Team Break members, who are quickly detained. While the player is busy watching the fireworks, James snatches a bunch of partner Pokémon from distracted Trainers, including the player's Pikachu. When the player notices Pikachu's absence, Shiny Celebi appears and leads them to Team Rocket. The player's Pikachu returns to its Trainer and challenges the trio to a battle, which they confidently accept after reciting their motto. Team Rocket ends up being defeated and gets blasted off, allowing the player to return the stolen Pokémon to their Trainers. Watching the fireworks, James figures he might as well help the player out, even if they are still enemies.

The Classic Thunderbolt

This event ran from July 7 to 31, 2022. It focused on Ash and tied in to the Pokémon anime.

This event reran from August 28 to October 17, 2022. The "Ash Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ash & Pikachu for the duration of the event

Plot

Ash Ketchum arrives on Pasio while training for the Masters Eight Tournament, meeting Scottie/Bettie and Tina on the beach. After being introduced to Pasio's style of battling by Lear, Ash decides to stay and train for a time. Later, while Tina teaches Ash about sync moves, her Flareon rebels against her out of jealousy of seeing Ash and Pikachu perform a sync move before it and Tina could perform theirs, and runs away, encountering a group of Team Break members who sway it into joining them. In the subsequent confrontation, Ash manages to convince Flareon to return to Tina, and drives off Team Break with his entire team of Pokémon. Meanwhile, at the Battle Villa, Sawyer informs Lear of Ash's progress, and Lear expresses interest in seeing how he will perform on Pasio.

Plot

Lear organizes an event called the Single Master Challenge Cup, where Trainers who have only just arrived on Pasio get to participate in a tournament of three-on-three Single Battles, instead of the team battles that are more common on Pasio. Ash and Tina eagerly decide to enter. In his first match, Ash faces Ace Trainer Rochelle from Lilycove City, whom he defeats using his Gigantamax Gengar. Meanwhile, Tina loses her first battle and is eliminated from the tournament. In the second round, Ash defeats Ace Trainer Axel from Hau'oli City with the help of his Mega Lucario. In the finals, Ash faces Scottie/Bettie, using his Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, and Pikachu against their Torchic, Solgaleo, and Pikachu. During the battle, Red arrives to observe the match. Once Ash has emerged victorious, Red leaves the stadium and displays interest in facing Ash someday. At the awards ceremony, Lear demands Ash to battle him like he promised, which Ash happily agrees to.

Stop the Evil Mastermind!

This event ran from September 6 to 16, 2023. The "Team Rocket Variety Scout" gave players the opportunity to recruit Giovanni & Rhydon, Archer & Houndoom, Ariana & Arbok, Petrel & Weezing, and Proton & Golbat from the beginning of the event to September 27, 2023.

All battles in this event were co-op battles, and players could not use the "Create Your Own Team" option to challenge them. Players could complete missions by clearing the battles with sync pairs from certain regions, earning 5★-Guaranteed Scout Tickets for that region. Two new missions were made available each day for the first eight days of the event.

A special log-in bonus was held in conjunction with this event. Players could view a conversation involving Team Rocket executives or Giovanni upon logging in for the first time each day and receive 300 Gems. There were three conversations total, so players could receive a total of 900 Gems from this log-in bonus.

In addition, a special rally was held wherein all players would be rewarded with a Strike Move Candy Coin, a Tech Move Candy Coin, a Support Move Candy Coin, and a Team Rocket Executive Scout Ticket when the total number of event missions completed by all players reached certain milestones.[2] The first milestone was reached on September 7, 2023,[3] and the second milestone was reached on September 8, 2023.[4] The third and fourth milestones were reached during the weekend of September 9-10, so the rewards were distributed to players beginning on September 11, 2023.[5]

Petrel Hmm...
Proton What are your thoughts on the taste of the fake Slowpoke tails my subordinates and I made?
The texture should be almost exactly like the real thing!
Petrel Not terrible...but still not good enough.
Proton Hmph!
Petrel You might be able to trick someone from Kanto or Johto, but anyone from Alola wouldn't be fooled.
Slowpoke tails are used a lot in their home cooking, so they'd know exactly what the real thing tastes like.
Why don't you smoke it to hide the flavor—like they do in Galar?
Proton An excellent idea from the master of disguise himself!
You're always researching how to make something seem real.
Petrel Heh. Well yeah!
Proton With your advice, I can finish making the fake Slowpoke tails...
and then my evil money-making scheme is sure to succeed!

Archer Urgh, I've got such a headache.
The grunts keep failing, so Giovanni is angry.
Ariana Should we join them for this operation?
If all the executives attack at once, maybe things will go our way?
Archer If we step in now, then the overall quality of Team Rocket is never going to get any better.
I trust the grunts to do what it takes to redeem themselves this time.
Ariana What a surprise. I wouldn't expect to hear the word "trust" come out of your mouth.
Don't tell me all the kids around here are getting into your head?
Archer How foolish!
We are Team Rocket... Our only connection is a ruthless, evil bond!

Giovanni It's me.
Fine, wait there.
(Giovanni hangs up)
Giovanni It's your turn to battle, Mewtwo.
You've been waiting for this moment, I assume?
*chuckle* Don't worry.
As long as you cooperate, you'll never get bored.
You'll have plenty of opportunities to battle strong opponents who think they can stop evil.
Let's go.
And move one step closer to ruling the world!

Time We Got Down to It!

This event ran from January 12 to 19, 2024, alongside the story event The Electrifying Influencer. The "Iono Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Iono & Bellibolt from the beginning of the event to February 1, 2024.

During this event, players could take on Iono in co-op battles to earn Whosawhatsit Stickers, but they could not use the "Create Your Own Team" option to challenge these battles. Players could complete event missions by earning certain amounts of Whosawhatsit Stickers, earning 5★ Power-Up Tickets, and 300 Gems for completing all missions.

In addition, a special rally was held wherein all players would receive special rewards when the total number of Whosawhatsit Stickers collected by all players reached certain milestones.[6] If all milestones were met, players would receive 30 5★ Scout Tickets, a Move Candy Coin of each role, a Roll Cake Coin of each role, and Trainer Lodge artwork of Iono & Bellibolt. By the time of the first status update on January 15, the number of Whosawhatsit Stickers collected had already reached 14,800,730, so the presents were distributed to players beginning one week later, on January 22, 2024.[7][8]
