Six-Year Anniversary!

The Six-Year Anniversary! (Japanese: 6周年記念！ 6th Anniversary!) Special Co-op Battle! ran from August 28 to September 17, 2025, celebrating the six-year anniversary of Pokémon Masters EX. Unlike previous events, the battle in this event could be challenged an unlimited number of times and did not reset daily. Instead, the rare rewards associated with it were available by completing event missions, and a new mission was unlocked every day from the beginning of the event to September 10. These missions involved completing the battle using sync pairs with specific sync pairs on the team, and the rewards included Move Candy Coins of each role, Roll Cake Coins of each role, and Six-Year Anniversary Scout Tickets. 1,000 Gems were awarded to players who completed at least 6 missions.

In addition, limited-time Gym missions were available for the duration of the event, rewarding players for completing battles in the event a certain number of times. Players could earn Gems by completing solo missions and Gym Scout Tickets C by completing group missions.
