Trainer Lodge
The Trainer Lodge (Japanese: トレーナーズサロン Trainer's Salon) is a location in Pokemon Masters EX introduced in August 2022 which enables the player character to interact with other sync pairs. Increasing friendship levels with sync pairs rewards the player with items including Certificates of Excellence, while achieving a friendship level of 100 unlocks a new Pokémon to pair with the guest Trainer. Only a select group of sync pairs can currently be interacted with in the Trainer Lodge, with Rosa available as the default Trainer for the tutorial.
The Trainer Lodge is unlocked after completing Main Story Chapter 1.
Gameplay
Interactions
The player character starts the interaction by initiating a chat with a Trainer, and is given three topics of discussion to choose from. The Trainer's response will determine the number of points awarded:
- super exciting topic: 10 points
- exciting topic: 7 points
- interesting topic: 5 points
The player continues to choose one of three discussion topics until the Trainer's attention wanes. Attention will drop with each topic chosen after the second topic. The attention level at which the interaction ends appears to be random.
Topics are associated with one of seven categories: Pokemon, Items, Friends, Hobbies, Fashion, Places, and Other. The Trainer is assigned a hot topic category from one of these categories for each interaction. Selecting a discussion topic of their hot topic category halves Attention drop, and can make the Trainer reach max vibes. Max vibes is a state that lasts for two topic selections, and while active, the Trainer's attention will not drop, the interaction will not end, and friendship points are doubled. Max vibes can only be reached once per interaction. If the Trainer's level is high enough (estimated at level 30 or above), there is a chance that the hot topic will be revealed at the start of the interaction.
A gift can be given to the Trainer to restore attention, refresh topics, and multiply friendship points. Gifts can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange and are specific to each sync pair. These come in standard, good, and awesome forms, with more valuable gifts giving greater boosts.
Once the interaction ends, the friendship level with the Trainer will increase depending on the friendship points earned. The player can interact up to three times per day with the same or other sync pairs in the Trainer Lodge. Players can also purchase Interaction Counts to increase the number of interactions that can be performed each day. All Interaction Counts can be used at once, which will multiply the friendship points depending on the number of interactions used (e.g. using up two Interaction Counts at once will double the points after completing the interaction).
The location of the interaction can be chosen prior to the chat, with various locations unlocked as friendship level increases. Help items can also be used before the interaction to provide boosts to the friendship points gained. The primary method of obtaining these is to purchase them in the Lodge Exchange.
Once per day, a guest visiting the Trainer Lodge will give the player a random gift. The guest giving the gift will be the last Trainer that the player interacted with on the previous day. If that Trainer is un-invited from the Lodge, one of the other guests currently visiting will be chosen at random to offer the player a gift. Items that the player may be gifted by guest Trainers include: help items, Lodge Stones, 1★ Friend Keys, Fiery / Soothing / Wistful Stones, Extracts, Co-op Sync Orbs, Level-Up Manuals, Power-Ups, Move Candy Coins, and 5★ Scout Tickets. The quality or quantity of items received by greeting a Trainer will improve as that Trainer's friendship level increases.
Gifts
Gifts can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. The boosts supplied by gifts differ on their value:
- Standard gifts: restores attention by 10, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by x1.10.
- Good gifts: restores attention by 20, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by x1.30.
- Awesome gifts: restores attention by 30, refreshes topics, and multiplies friendship points earned by x1.50.
The cost of a gift depends on the corresponding sync pair's role, as well as the quality of the gift itself:

Locations
Interaction locations are unlocked by increasing the Trainer's friendship levels. Different locations provide additional topics to be discussed.
Additional locations have been made available for the duration of certain seasonal events.
The following are event-only locations.
Location | Event | Additional topics |
---|---|---|
Fall (2022) | Ghosts, parades | |
Holiday (2022) | Snow, Ice types | |
New Year's (2023) | Dragon types, Normal types |
Friendship Levels
All Trainers start at friendship level 1, with an initial level cap of 100. The friendship level cap can be increased with Friend Keys, up to a maximum level cap of 1,000. Increasing the friendship level through interactions provides various rewards for the player.
In the Invite Guests menu, the border around a Trainer's icon depends on their current friendship level:
- Lv 1 - Bronze
- Lv 50 - Silver
- Lv 100 - Gold
- Lv 200 - Green
- Lv 300 - Blue
- Lv 400 - Purple
- Lv 500 - Orange
- Lv 700 - Red
- Lv 1,000 - Rainbow
Friendship Level-Up Rewards
Various rewards are earned when leveling up sync pairs, including Lodge Stones at every level (10 each level) which can be used to exchange for items and sync pairs in the Lodge Exchange. Reaching levels 10 and 30 unlock Friendship Stories with the Trainer, while levels 20 and 40 unlock Friend and Story Snapshots of the Trainer respectively. Increasing the level to 100 unlocks an additional Pokémon for the guest Trainer to pair with. Duplicates of this new sync pair (to raise sync move level) can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange with Lodge Stones.
Trainer photos and Friendship Stories can be viewed in the Scrapbook. Photos are given a default Bronze Frame, with Silver, Gold, Rainbow, and Special Frames successively unlocked by increasing the sync pair's move level from two to five. Raising the sync pair's potential to 6★ EX unlocks a holo foil texture to the photo.
Levels past 100 will not have special milestone rewards - they will only grant the standard 10 Lodge Stones per level.

Expeditions
Players can send several sync pairs on expeditions to explore various areas of Pasio and obtain items useful for improving Trainer interactions. Sync pairs involving the player character cannot be sent on expeditions, and two Trainers with the same name cannot be on the same Expedition Team. The Expedition Skills of each team member determines the Discovery Level for four categories of items that can be obtained: Fiery Crystals, Soothing Crystals, Wistful Crystals, and Rare Caches (chests that can contain rare items including Lodge Stones and 5★ Power-Ups). The Discovery Level of each item category can range from 0 to 10, with higher levels increasing the number and rarity of Expedition Rewards obtained.
On occasion, a Cheer On icon can be displayed above a Trainer on the Expedition Team, which increases the Discovery Levels of all categories by 1 for 12 hours. Expedition Items can also be used to raise the team's Discovery Level. Only one Expedition Item can be used at a time.
Up to two Expedition Teams can be created concurrently. Team A will automatically have a base Discovery Level of 1 for Fiery and Soothing Crystals, while Team B will have a base Discovery Level of 1 for Wistful Crystals and Rare Caches. Expedition teams are initially capped at three sync pairs, which can be increased to six by purchasing Expedition Team Slot +1 in the Lodge Exchange.
Once per day, a Poké Ball will spawn at each expedition site, which when opened will contain an item including Tomes, 3★ Level-Up Manuals, Co-op Sync Orbs, Big Pearls, 1★ Friend Keys, and Lodge Stones.
Starting from version 2.25.0, there is a rare chance of a Drop-In Event occurring in one or both Expedition Teams each time the expeditions screen is reloaded. During a Drop-In Event, the Trainers on the Expedition Team do not appear, being replaced by one or more Trainers who are not part of the expedition team visiting the expedition area. Examples of Drop-In Events include Lisia showing off to her fans, Viola taking pictures of Elesa, Team Magma Grunts exploring a volcanic area, Maylene supervising the training of three Black Belts, and Sonia and Mallow watching their Tsareena interact. When a Drop-In Event occurs, a Poké Ball will spawn in the area, containing more or rarer items than those found in the daily Poké Balls. If the daily Poké Ball in an area has not been collected before the Drop-In Event occurs, it cannot be collected until the expeditions screen is reloaded, ending the Drop-In Event.
The following table details what items can be collected from Poké Balls in normal expedition areas and Drop-In Events:
When an additional interaction location is added during certain seasonal events, an additional Expedition Team becomes available, exploring the limited-time seasonal area. Sync pairs corresponding to the seasonal event will give a +1 bonus to the Rare Cache Discovery Level if added to this Expedition Team, on top of their usual Expedition Skill bonuses. Drop-In Events cannot occur in limited-time expedition areas.
Expedition Rewards
Expedition Rewards are found every minute, and will accumulate up to one of two possible limits:
- A total of 30,000 crystals or stones.
- A total of 100 rare caches.
Once either limit is reached, no further items will be discovered until the rewards are claimed. The player may claim these rewards at any time.
Rare Caches
Rare Caches grant a random item from a set pool when opened. Caches of higher rarities tend to have rarer items, or items in larger quantities.
Discovery Levels
The Expedition Team's Discovery Level affects the number and rarity of items obtained.
Discovery Level | Fiery Crystal | Soothing Crystal | Wistful Crystal | Rare Cache | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard | Great | Ultra | Standard | Great | Ultra | Standard | Great | Ultra | 1★ | 2★ | 3★ | |

Expedition Items
These items assist with increasing Expedition Rewards and can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. Extracts can also randomly be obtained when talking to Trainers in the lodge.
Redecorating
Starting from version 2.30.0, players were given the ability to redecorate the Trainer Lodge. The player has three main ways of decorating the lodge: choosing a style, hanging up artwork and photos, and setting out plushies and replicas.
Styles
Choosing a style changes the appearance of the whole Trainer Lodge, including the color of the floor, walls, and furniture. By default, the Trainer Lodge uses the style "Normal", but two additional styles can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange. The player can only purchase each style once and may freely switch between all the styles they own at any time.
Style | Cost | |
---|---|---|
Natural Style | Fiery Stone ×50 Soothing Stone ×50 Wistful Stone ×50 | |
Noble Style | Fiery Stone ×50 Soothing Stone ×50 Wistful Stone ×50 | |
60px | Hisui Style | Fiery Stone ×50 Soothing Stone ×50 Wistful Stone ×50 |
Artwork and Photos
The player can hang up to three pieces of artwork or photos in the Trainer Lodge at once: one on each of the bulletin boards in the center of the lodge, and one on the bulletin board on the far left side of the lodge. By default, nothing is hung on these bulletin boards.
The photos available to hang up are the same ones found in the Scrapbook; as soon as the player unlocks a snapshot in the Scrapbook, an unlimited number of copies of it can be placed on the bulletin boards in the center of the lodge.
Artwork is obtained by exchanging crystals in the Lodge Exchange, and the player may only set out as many copies of a piece of artwork as they have obtained; that is, if the player wishes to put the same piece of artwork on multiple bulletin boards at the same time, they must purchase multiple copies of the artwork. The artwork is divided into three categories, based on their number:
- 1000s artwork has been previously used on the title screen for the game.
- 2000s artwork has been previously used as a splash screen when loading up the game.
- 3000s artwork was commissioned to promote various story chapters or events.
The only significant difference between the three categories of art is that 1000s and 2000s artwork has rectangular dimensions, while 3000s art has square dimensions. As a result, only 3000s art can be displayed on the square bulletin board, found on the far left side of the Trainer Lodge.
Once obtained, artwork and photos can also be set to display on loading screens. If multiple pictures are set to display on loading screens, one will be chosen at random each time a loading screen occurs.
Replicas and Plushies
The player can decorate the shelves in the center of the Trainer Lodge with up to nine replicas or plushies, arranged in a 3x3 grid. By default, nine replicas are placed on these shelves:
Object | Description | |
---|---|---|
Pasio Tower | Can be used to decorate the Trainer Lodge. | |
Wooden Star | ||
Ice Tower | ||
Red Stone | ||
Moon Trophy | ||
Wooden Metronome | ||
Blue Tuning Fork | ||
Wonder Stone | ||
Star Trophy |
More replicas and plushies are available for purchase in the Lodge Exchange. There is one replica and one plushie corresponding to each Trainer who can be invited to the lodge, and these become available for purchase once the player reaches friendship level 100 with the corresponding Trainer. As with artwork, only one of each replica or plushie that the player owns can be displayed at a time. Players can purchase up to nine of each replica and plushie.
The cost of a replica or plushie depends on the role of the corresponding sync pair:

Available Trainers
Rosa is the first Trainer available in the lodge by default, and other Trainers can be invited if the player has scouted and teamed up with the sync pair. A maximum of five Trainers can be present at one time in the lodge. Different topic interactions will give different ratings for each Trainer, with certain topics only available at certain locations.
