Ultimate Battle

An Ultimate Battle (Japanese: 究極高難度バトル) is a special type of permanent battle content in Pokémon Masters EX. Introduced on November 14, 2023, these battles have the Ultimate difficulty level and pit the player against a powerful sync pair generally formed with a Legendary Pokémon. Ultimate Battles are standard team battles, so players can use up to three sync pairs at once to battle the boss sync pair and their allies. Most boss sync pairs endure the first attack that would put them below a certain percentage of their maximum HP with that percentage of their maximum HP, similar to the HP bars used by Legendary Arena bosses.

Ultimate Battles are accessed from the Challenge the Strong menu in the Side Area section. This menu is unlocked after the player completes the Champion Stadium on Hard Lv. 1 difficulty for any region.

Each Ultimate Battle awards the player with 300 Gems the first time it is completed. There are no rewards for completing the battle subsequent times.

Anabel was the first Ultimate Battle boss, forming a sync pair with Entei. This battle was first made available on November 14, 2023. Anabel & Entei and their allies are weak to Water-type moves.

Anabel & Entei set harsh sunlight upon entering battle and each time they use their sync move. They and their allies have several passive skills that give them benefits in sunny weather, such as powering up their attacks and reducing the damage they take. Anabel & Entei take less damage from attacks the more their stats have been raised in total, and field effects they set are permanent unless replaced. In addition, Anabel & Entei endure the first attack that would put them below 60% of their maximum HP with 60% of their maximum HP. The recommended strategy is to change the weather and lower Anabel & Entei's stats. Also, attacks from Anabel & Entei are powered up if their target is burned.

Trivia

• The first Ultimate Battle, Anabel's Flickering Flames, featured the same Legendary Pokémon opponent as the first Legendary Arena, Entei. They also have the same weakness, Water.
  • Similarly, the second Ultimate Battle, Thorton's Freezing Frost, featured opponents with the same weakness (Fire) as the opponents of the second Legendary Arena, Cobalion.
• Thorton's Freezing Frost was the first Ultimate Battle where one of the Trainers does not match the battle's primary type; in this case, the Scientist's Steelix is a Steel/Ground type rather than an Ice type.
  • Leon's Unbeatable Blaze and Masked Royal's Eternal Chill are the only Ultimate Battles to have three different Pokémon of different types, despite their titles based on the type (Fire and Ice respectively).
• Darach's Daring Wings was the first Ultimate Battle to feature a playable sync pair, Darach & Staraptor, as well as the first not to include any Legendary Pokémon as opponents.
• Palmer's Rumbling Might was the first Ultimate Battle to include a named Trainer besides the one the battle is named after; in this case, Barry appears in addition to Palmer.
