Continuing on from the recent debut of Giovanni's new Sygna Suit Sync Pair with Guzzlord, the Team Rocket executives are making a collective return to Pokémon Masters EX today in the Take on Team Rocket Special Battle Event, as well as in a new set of Variety, Tiered, and Ticket Scouts.

Special Battle Event: Take on Team Rocket
In this latest Special Battle Event, which runs until January 26th at 9:59pm (PST), players will take on battles against the Team Rocket Executives Proton, Petrel, Ariana, and Archer, as well as Team Rocket's leader Giovanni.

The Challenge Proton battle is available right now. Three more battles will unlock over the next few days:
  • Challenge Petrel: Unlocks January 9th, at 9:59pm (PST)
  • Challenge Ariana: Unlocks January 10th, at 9:59pm (PST)
  • Challenge Archer: Unlocks January 11th, at 9:59pm (PST)
Beating each of these areas will award players with 100 gems per area as first-time rewards, along with a special title, and a Proof of R-Exec Takedown item. The stages have no other completion rewards, and repeating stages will not grant any additional rewards.

Challenge Sygna Suit Giovanni can only be challenged by acquiring all four Proof of R-Exec Takedown. Completing this stage will award 100 gems, and unlock the Ultra Hard Challenge the Evil Mastermind area.

Players should also note the following when playing this event:
  • To participate, players must have completed Main Story Chapter 1: The More the Merrier (Normal) in single-player.
  • The sync pairs that appear as opponents in battle have different capabilities than those players can actually obtain.
  • Leftover Proof of R-Exec Takedown will be automatically converted to coins at a rate of 10 coins per item at the end of the event, and sent to players' Present Boxes
