Continuing on from the recent launch of the new Friend-Making Battle Story Event in Pokémon Masters EX, the new 5★ New Year's themed Sync Pair of Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix is making their debut today in a set of Seasonal Scouts. The Poppy Seasonal Scout and Poppy Seasonal Tiered Scout will both run until January 20th at 9:59pm (PST). The associated Poppy Seasonal Featured Ticket Scout and Poppy Seasonal Guaranteed Ticket Scout meanwhile run through to January 27th, at 9:59pm (PST).

Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix are a Steel-type Field role Sync Pair with a Support EX Role and an expanded sync grid. When raised to 6★ EX, Poppy's outfit shifts from cream with red and gold highlights, to a gold-ish design with green and pink highlights.

Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix make use of Steel Zones to repeatedly debuff opponents, and buff their team. Their Diamond-Hard Iron Head attack can be used for 2 move gauge whenever a Steel Zone is active, doing 200 base power worth of physical damage to all opponents, while lowering their Attack and Sp. Atk by one stat rank, having a 30% chance of making each opponent struck flinch, and raising the Defense and Sp. Def of all allied sync pairs by one stat rank. If Steelix has Mega Evolved, the attack also lowers opponents Speed by one stat rank, and increased the Speed of all allied sync pairs by one stat rank. To ensure Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix can use this move as much as possible, their Super Tough! Passive Skill cretes a Steel Zone when they enter battle, extends the duration of any Steel Zone applied, and applies a Free Move Next effect to them when they successfully use an attack while a Steel Zone is active. More details about the sync pair can be found on Bulbapedia.

The Poppy Seasonal Scout gives players a bonus present for the first three times players perform a Sync Pair Scout ×11, awarding a Field 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 Poppy 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. Additionally, Tiers 5 and grants the player special tickets to use in associated Ticket Scouts.
  • Tier 1: 300 Paid Gems
  • Tier 2: 900 Paid Gems
  • Tier 3: 1,500 Paid Gems
  • Tier 4: 2,000 Paid Gems
  • Tier 5: 3,000 Paid Gems - 5★ Great Scout Ticket Z
  • Tier 6: 2,000 Paid Gems
  • Tier 7: 2,500 Paid Gems
  • Tier 8: 2,500 Paid Gems
  • Tier 9: 2,500 Paid Gems
  • Tier 10: 3,000 Paid Gems - 5★ Master Scout Ticket Z
The 5★ Great Scout Ticket Z can be used in the associated Poppy Seasonal Featured Ticket Scout, which gives players a guaranteed 5★ Sync Pair, with a 25% chance of that pair being Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix. The 5★ Master Scout Ticket Z meanwhile can be used in the Poppy Seasonal Guaranteed Ticket Scout, which as the name suggests guarantees players a team up with Poppy (New Year's 2025) & Steelix.
