Story Event: Tiny Courage, Big Thanks
In a break from the usual tendency of Palentine's events to focus around cooking, this new Story event focused instead of more floral gifts! This event sees Marley relying on Erika's support when she decides to give bouquets of flowers to Elesa and Marnie as thanks for having helped to give her courage in the past. This event will run through to February 20th, at 9:59pm (PST).
Players in this Story Event will collect Event Points as they complete battles, earning rewards based on the total amount of event points acquired instead of trading for specific desired rewards. Event rewards include 5★ Scout Tickets, Skill Items, a Tech Move Candy Coin, 5★ Power-Ups, and Event Medals. Other rewards able to be obtained include Special Skill Feathers 71 and 72, Custom Sync Orbs for Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, and Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis, and Lucky Cookies for Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin, Erika (Palentine's 2025) & Lurantis, and Mallow (Palentine's 2023) & Appletun.

Two Sync Pairs will be making their debut in Seasonal Scouts alongside the Tiny Courage, Big Thanks Story Event.
Marley Seasonal Scout
The Marley Seasonal Scout offer players an opportunity to scout Marley in her Palentine's 2025 Seasonal Sync Pair with Shaymin.
Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin are built around enhancing the team's ability to deal damage with Special Attacks. They have the ability to apply Sinnoh Circle (Special) to the allied field of play, powering up the special attack and sync moves of the player's team by 10%, as well as reducing the special attack and sync move damage received by their team by 5%. These values are boosted when the team includes additional Sync Pairs with the Sinnoh Theme Skill, up to a maximum of 40% power-up and 14% damage reduction. The first time Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin create Sinnoh Circle (Special), one of their Passive Skills will raise their Sp. Atk by four stat ranks, and reduce their Sync Move countdown by three. This latter bonus also satisfies their activation requirement for their Blessed Seed Flare Buddy Move, which can attack all opponents without its power being lowered, with successful hits being automatic critical hits and lowering targets Sp. Def by two stat ranks. The move also has the further effect of increasing all allies’ Special Moves ↑ Next effect by one rank. On top of all this, Marley (Palentine's 2025) & Shaymin's Thanks...! Trainer Move applies the Move Gauge Acceleration effect to the allied field of play and raises all allies’ Speed by four stat ranks. More details about the sync pair can be found on Bulbapedia.
The Marley Seasonal Scout gives players a bonus present for the first three times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11, awarding a Sprint Move Candy Coin each time. This Seasonal Scout also include a daily discount, where players can perform a single scout for ×100 paid gems. This daily discount can be used 1 time per day during the entire length of the scout.
In addition to the regular Seasonal Scout, players can also take advantage of a Marley Seasonal Tiered Scout. This scout has ten tiers, each of which is a Sync Pair Scout ×11. Players are able to scout once on each tier by using Paid Gems, with the amount of gems increasing with each tier.
