Solve the Case! (Part 1) (Japanese: 事件の謎を追え！ 前編) was a costume event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland and Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki. Solve the Case! (Part 2) was a continuation of this event's story.
During this event, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland or Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Looker & Croagunk, Lyra & Chikorita/Bayleef/Meganium, Burgh & Leavanny, Agatha & Gengar, Melony & Lapras, or Guzma & Golisopod to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Hoenn or Kalos theme skill to obtain 0.2× bonus vouchers.
This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.
In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
This event is the only way to obtain
Song Key No. 00038, which allows "Fantastic Carnival" to be played in the Jukebox.
First run
The event first ran from March 31 to May 2, 2023. The "Steven Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland for the duration of the event, and the "Shauna Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki starting on April 2, 2023 and lasting until the end of the event.
In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher F. Event mission rewards included medals, Gems, Battle Points, a Tech Move Candy Coin, and a Support Move Candy Coin.
Second run
The event reran from March 9 to 25, 2024. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland, Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki, Lyra (Special Costume) & Phanpy, and Zinnia (Special Costume) & Thievul for the duration of the event.
In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher P. Event mission rewards included medals and Gems.
If the player had already obtained Song Key No. 00038 in the previous run, exchanging for it in the shop again would reward the player with a 3★ Power-Up.

| Shauna | Playing a game with everyone... This'll make a wonderful memory! ♪ |
| Steven | I'm the detective... I've been interested in detectives for a while, actually. |
| Shauna | I think it suits you, Steven! |
| Steven | Heh. I won't let you down! |
- The Mystery Game Begins!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lear | Sync pairs of Pasio! I'm happy to announce that we'll be holding an interactive mystery game! Play a role and solve the mansion's mysteries! IF you can solve them! Hahahahaha! |
| (The lights turn on, revealing that Lear is standing in his villa with a group of people around him) | |
| Lear | And that's what's going on! |
| (Lyra, Burgh, Shauna, Looker, Melony, Guzma, Steven, and Agatha are gathered around Lear) | |
| Steven | So we've been invited as playtesters? |
| Lear | Precisely. I will have you all act the roles you're given and play this mystery-solving game. Among the roles you will play, there is a culprit who will cause an incident...who is obviously hiding their identity. You will be asked to figure out who the culprit is and what kind of incident happened. |
| Shauna | Wow! That sounds like so much fun! ♪ |
| Lear | Now then, draw to decide your roles! |
- Roles Are Decided!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Villa; Lear and the others are all standing around chatting; Steven and Shauna appear, wearing their special costumes) | |
| Lyra | Wow! You two get costumes? That's nice! |
| Shauna | Heehee! Does it suit me? Apparently, I'm the detective's assistant! |
| Steven | And I'm the detective. They're really putting a lot of effort into this event, preparing costumes and all. |
| Shauna | I'll do my best to support you as detective's assistant! |
| Steven | Great! I'll be counting on you! |
| Burgh | I'm the musician... Are there no costumes for us? |
| Lear | We don't have all the costumes yet, as we're still in the testing phase. |
| Lyra | Awww... I would have liked to wear the artist's costume. |
| Looker | I can't believe I don't get to be the detective. It would have been perfect for me... |
| Agatha | But the main idea of the game is that you can still make deductions even if you're not the detective, right? Why don't you just guess the culprit before the detective does? |
| Looker | I suppose you're right... Then I'll stick with my role as the gardener! By the way, what's your role, Agatha? |
| Agatha | I'm the owner of the mansion. Why, am I a suspect already? |
| Guzma | I'm the cleaner?! There's no need for cleaning if you just smash everything to bits! |
| Melony | I'm the sculptor... Don't you go breaking any of my art, now. |
| Lear | Does everyone know what role they'll be playing? |
| (Everyone nods) | |
| Lear | Now, before we begin the game, let me go over some simple rules. Each participant has been given a role, and one of those roles is the culprit! However, the culprit has also been given an additional role to serve as a decoy. The culprit must use their decoy role to avoid suspicion while causing "the incident." |
| Steven | And everyone else should play their roles and try to guess who the culprit is, right? |
| Lear | Indeed. To discover the culprit, it's important to figure out what happened in this mansion. Piecing together what occurred is crucial to solving the mystery! |
| Shauna | I have a question! Can you get help from your partner Pokémon during the game? |
| Lear | That's fine. The point of this game is to enjoy it as a sync pair. Do you understand the rules? If so, let the games begin! |
| (Transition to another room in the villa; Steven is talking to his Stoutland) | |
| Steven | It seems everyone's acting out their roles. Now, as the detective, this says I should... Go around the mansion and observe the other participants. To the culprit, I'm just an annoying snoop. |
- Explore the Mansion!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Forest; Looker and Agatha are talking to a Bulbasaur, Oddish, and Hoppip; Steven approaches them) | |
| Agatha | Oh, hey, Mr. Detective. Are you wandering around because you're bored? |
| Steven | Haha! Well, this IS my job... Agatha, you're the owner of the mansion, right? |
| Agatha | That's right. You should show me some respect. |
| Looker | And I'm the gardener! |
| Steven | What were you two doing just now? |
| Looker | We were talking about the Pokémon in the garden! |
| Agatha | He was explaining a few things to me regarding the Pokémon that live in the garden. |
| (The Bulbasaur, Oddish, and Hoppip cry out) | |
| Steven | Could you clarify what you mean? |
| Agatha | This mansion wasn't originally mine. |
| (The background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) | |
| Agatha | It was seized from a distinguished family to clear a debt. |
| (The background music resumes) | |
| Looker | So the Pokémon in the garden are from that family. |
| Steven | Which means you've only recently started living here? |
| Agatha | That's right. |
| ??? | Hey, Steven. ♪ |
| (Shauna walks up) | |
| Shauna | I'm here to help you as the detective's assistant! I had a look around the mansion, and I memorized the rooms! ♪ |
| Steven | That's amazing! Could you show me around? |
| Shauna | Leave it to me. ♪ |
| Steven | Well then, see you two later! |
| (Looker and Agatha wave as Steven and Shauna leave; transition to a room indoors) | |
| Shauna | Here, this is the art studio! |
| (Shauna and Steven approach Melony and Lapras) | |
| Shauna | Oh, wow! You're making a sculpture out of ice! ♪ |
| Melony | Ahaha! Fitting for a sculptor, right? Be careful not to slip on the leftover shards! |
| Shauna | OK! |
| (Shauna wanders off while Steven talks to Melony; the background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) | |
| Melony | By the way, I heard there's treasure somewhere in this mansion. |
| (The background music resumes) | |
| Melony | And I might be interested in that treasure... |
| Steven | I see... |
| (Transition to a room lined with lockers) | |
| Shauna | Next is the storage room! |
| (Steven and Shauna approach Guzma and Golisopod) | |
| Guzma | Tch! Why do I have to be the one cleaning? |
| Shauna | You don't like your role, Guzma? |
| (The background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) | |
| Guzma | Well, duh. Also, the cleaner supposedly doesn't like the owner of the mansion. |
| (The background music resumes) | |
| Guzma | If that's the deal, then I don't need to waste my time acting. I can just keep complaining, since it fits the part. |
| Steven | You're right. Acting might be your calling! |
| Guzma | Sh-shut it! I'm busy right now! Go away! |
| (Transition to a balcony overlooking a courtyard) | |
| Shauna | This place has a beautiful view. ♪ |
| (Shauna notices Burgh and Lyra chatting, so she and Steven approach them) | |
| Shauna | Is the artist duo having a chat? |
| Lyra | Yep! We were just talking about how it would have been great if our roles were swapped! I'm the artist... |
| Burgh | And I'm the musician. |
| Steven | I'm just going around talking to everyone right now. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary? |
| Lyra | Umm... Oh yeah! I was supposed to say something specific to anyone who asked a question! |
| Burgh | Hmm... Are you supposed to tell them that? |
| Lyra | What? Is that against the rules? |
| Burgh | No, you're not breaking the rules. But if you're the culprit, what you just said would be extremely disadvantageous for you... |
| Lyra | B-but if I don't say anything now, that's even more suspicious, right? So, in this mansion, there's an old painting of a little girl. And as an artist, I was drawn to that painting! Errr, supposedly. |
| (The background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) | |
| Burgh | So that means it's a painting of Agatha, the owner of the mansion? |
| (The background music resumes) | |
| Lyra | Maybe... |
| Steven | ... ... ... |
| (Someone yells in the distance; a door opens, and Looker and Agatha run into the room) | |
| Looker | C'est une catastrophe! The mansion's treasure has been stolen! |
| (Steven and Shauna look shocked) | |
- An Incident Occurs!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| A treasure was stolen from the locked treasure vault! The participants shared the information they had and organized their thoughts on the situation... | |
| Steven | Looker and Agatha have been together since the beginning of the game. So have Lyra and Burgh. Since there's only one culprit, those four have alibis. |
| Lyra | What's an alibi? |
| Steven | It means you can prove that you weren't at the crime scene when the incident occurred. |
| Shauna | Right, so the four of them can vouch for each other! Which means there're two suspects—Guzma and Melony?! |
| Steven | There're four if you include me and Shauna. We met up at one point, but before that, we were working separately. |
| Shauna | Oh, that's right! So, who's the most suspicious out of the four right now? |
| (Everyone looks at Guzma) | |
| Guzma | A-are you saying I'm the culprit?! I haven't been in no treasure vault! I have the keys to some of the rooms so I can clean, but I don't have the key to the treasure vault! |
| Agatha | Guzma's telling the truth. I have the key. See? Here it is. As the owner of the mansion, I have all the keys. |
| (Steven looks at Shauna's Klefki, who doesn't react) | |
| Steven | Are those really all of your keys, Agatha? |
| Agatha | They should be. Why? |
| Steven | I see... |
| Shauna | If Agatha had the keys, no one else can get into the room, right? |
| Steven | I think we need to investigate a bit more... |
| (Shauna leads Steven to a room with a dark brown floor) | |
| Shauna | This is the treasure vault! |
| Steven | We've got to look for a clue... |
| (Steven's Stoutland notices something and barks) | |
| Steven | Stoutland? |
| (Stoutland runs off, picks something up off the floor, and brings it to Shauna) | |
| Steven | Looks like he found something. |
| (Stoutland barks) | |
| Shauna | Oh? Is that for me? |
| (Shauna takes the object, and Stoutland barks happily; the background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) | |
| Steven | A shard of ice? How... |
| (The background music resumes) | |
| Shauna | It may have confused it with a pretty rock! |
| Steven | There are times when Stoutland does bring me rocks, but... Mistaking ice for a rock? |
| (Transition back to the room where everyone is gathered) | |
| Looker | So there was a shard of ice at the scene of the crime... Hah—I've got it! Melony! You're the culprit, aren't you?! |
| Melony | What?! You're accusing me just because there was ice at the scene? |
| Looker | Here's my reasoning! You worked together with Lapras and made a key to the door out of ice! Then you used the ice key to get into the room and steal the treasure—and made it look locked by locking the door again! The motive could be that you wanted the treasure for a sculpture... |
| Melony | Hold on a minute! That's all just speculation! |
| Looker | But the only ones who can freely manipulate ice are you and Lapras! |
| Melony | That's true, but... |
| Steven | Wait! Melony isn't the culprit! |
| Looker | Wh-whaaat?! |
| (Steven turns around and walks a few paces away from the group) | |
| Steven | Light has been shone on the darkness of this case... The real culprit is... |
| (Steven turns around and points at someone) | |
| Steven | You! |

| Steven | The real culprit is...you! Shauna! |
| Lyra | Whaaat?! |
| Shauna | You suspect me, Steven? |
| Steven | Yes, I'm sure of it. If you want to prove your innocence... I want you to show us that none of Klefki's keys can open the treasure vault. If you can't do that... |
| Agatha | What do you mean? |
| Steven | Klefki has this mansion's master key. If my deduction is correct, this mansion should have a master key. |
| Looker | Whaaat?! How did you guess that? Tell me, Steven! |
| Steven | Of course. To start, the aim of this game isn't just to guess the culprit. We also have to figure out what happened in this mansion, right? Lyra. You said there's an old painting of a little girl in this mansion, correct? Burgh said it must be a painting of Agatha, the owner of the mansion, but... |
| (Flashback to Steven talking to Looker and Agatha in the forest) | |
| Steven | This mansion was seized from a prestigious family, and Agatha has only recently started living here. |
| (Back to present) | |
| Steven | So it would be weird to have an "old" painting of Agatha. |
| Lyra | Then the girl in the painting is... |
| Steven | Yes. She's the girl from the prestigious family who used to live in this mansion. What if that girl was looking for a chance to steal the treasure back? |
| Looker | And you're saying that's Shauna? |
| Steven | Yes. It wouldn't be strange for the culprit—and by culprit, I mean the original owner of the mansion... to, like Agatha, have special items to help them play their role in this game. I suspect Agatha doesn't have the master key to this mansion... |
| (Flashback to Steven looking at Shauna's Klefki) | |
| Steven | because when she showed me what keys she had, Klefki didn't express any interest in them. |
| (Back to present) | |
| Steven | The fact that Klefki have a tendency to like master keys is just further proof. |
| Shauna | But you could just hide the keys...and Melony could be the girl from the painting, right? |
| Melony | Aww, a "girl"? |
| Shauna | And the painting could have been brought in by Agatha! And there was a shard of ice at the crime scene... |
| Steven | Yes, and that was the conclusive proof. |
| Shauna | What? |
| (Flashback to Stoutland giving Shauna the shard of ice) | |
| Steven | My Stoutland gave the shard of ice to you. |
| (Back to present) | |
| Steven | It knew from the smell left on the ice that you dropped it, Shauna. That's the proof that you left the ice there, so Melony would look suspicious. |
| (Flashback to Shauna and Steven talking to Melony) | |
| Melony | The ice shard...from when you were talking to me? |
| (Back to present) | |
| Steven | That's another suspicious thing. Even if you did search the mansion, you're still far too knowledgeable about it. |
| (Flashbacks to Shauna showing Steven the art studio, the storage room, the balcony, and the treasure vault) | |
| Steven | So knowledgeable that your role could only be someone who's lived here previously! Now, Shauna. Hand over Klefki's keys. |
| One of Klefki's keys opened the door to the treasure vault... | |
| Shauna | Aw, man. You got me! ♪ |
| (Lear enters the room and approaches the group) | |
| Lear | Amazing, Steven. Everything is as you explained. Shauna was the culprit, and she was given a map of the mansion and the master key along with her outfit. |
| Shauna | Aww, I couldn't fool Steven! |
| Steven | No, you were a very good culprit, Shauna. |
| Looker | You completely fooled me! |
| Melony | You got me with that cute face of yours! |
| Shauna | Heehee... ♪ |
| (Melony and Looker chat; Steven and Shauna pose with Burgh watching; Agatha and Lyra talk to Lear) | |
| ??? | He—he's not here?! |
| (Guzma looks distraught) | |
| Shauna | Wh-what happened?! |
| Guzma | My partner Pokémon... was stolen! |
| (Fade to black) | |
| Yes... A real case that wasn't part of the game has begun! | |
