Trainers from all released games appear in Pokémon Masters. No Trainers from Pokémon Sword and Shield have been seen yet, however.
In battle, Trainers can use moves and healing items to increase a Pokémon’s stats. In addition to standard moves, players can occasionally deploy sync moves—powerful attacks performed by specific sync pairs.
In battle, players can control all three of the sync pairs on their team. Players will need to ration their move gauge, which refills over time, to deploy the best moves at the most opportune times.
At launch, there will be 65 sync pairs to recruit in Pokémon Masters, with additional sync pairs to come following the game’s release.
