Battles

Pokémon Masters introduced a brand-new type of battling: the 3-on-3 Team battles. These battles are always fought on teams of 3 against 3 and the first team who defeats all the opposing sync pairs wins. In Pokémon Masters there are two modes of battling style: single player and co-op.

Single-Player
In this mode, the player battles with its own team, controlling all of the three sync pairs at once. Before a battle, the player can edit its team, taking into consideration each sync pair type and which one will give an advantage against the other team.

Co-op
In this mode, the player teams up with up to two other players to battle. Each player controls their own team, using only one sync pair at a time, while the other two are in standby. When the player feels like it, it can switch to another sync pair.

Pokémon Moves
The battles are real-time based and in order to perform a new move, the player has to wait the move gauge to fill up over time after a few moves are used. Every team shares a one and only move gauge.

Trainer Moves
Apart from Pokémon, Trainers can use moves too. Each one of them has a few unique moves that can come as an advantage in battles. Trainer moves, unlike Pokémon moves, can only be used for a limited set of times.

Sync Moves
A Trainer and its Pokémon can work together to take control of the battle and unleash a powerful move called a sync move. To activate the sync moves, the player must perform a specific number of actions in the battle.
