Pokémon Masters Update Brings In A New Sync Pair

Pokémon Masters has added a new sync pair to the game as part of the latest update. The new duo was added to the game officially over the weekend. Which means players have already had a day or two to enjoy the new abilities.

If you play Pokémon Masters, then you already know that a big focus of the game is forging teams with sync pairs. Sync pairs are the duo of a trainer and their special Pokémon.

Pokémon Masters adds Hilda & Tepig as the new sync pair

The latest team of trainer and Pokémon to join the ranks of the Pokémon Masters league is Hilda and Tepig.

As Pokémon Masters is a gacha type game, you will want as many sync pairs as possible. Not only so you have more player choice, but also because some battles are easier with certain Pokémon.

You can grab Hilda and Tepig in the game right this very moment if you haven't already done so. You won't have all the time in the world however. That's because the duo will only be available to earn in-game until 10:59 PM Pacific on October 16 through a special event.

Once it's over, your chances of acquiring the two are gone for good most likely.

Tepig is a fire-type Pokémon

Tepig is a fire-type Pokémon, so if you're planning on using it and Hilda on your team, plan accordingly.

You'll also be able to evolve Tepig into its stronger forms, which include Pignite, followed by Emboar. These stronger versions will of course have stronger attacks which might come in handy during tougher battles.

Initially you'll have to play as Hilda and Tepig until Tepig hits level 30. Once you hit level 30, Tepig will evolve for the first time and transform into Pignite. The second evolution happens at level 45, where Pignite will transform into Emboar as the final evolution.

Hilda & Tepig's event replaces the event with Blue & Pidgeot

Since this new sync pair is available through an event and not in-game story missions, this means the Blue & Pidgeot event is being removed.

You will also need to acquire the pair through the sync pair scout, as they won't be obtainable through completing the story event. This means there's a little bit of luck involved in getting the new sync pair. It's all the more reason to login and get as many chances as you can to use the sync pair scout to grab these two.
