'Pokémon Masters' Lurking Shadows Event: How to Obtain Giovanni and Mewtwo

A new event type has arrived in Pokémon Masters, giving players a chance to obtain the powerful Sync Pair of Giovanni and Mewtwo.

Yes, this is Giovanni of Team Rainbow Rocket from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. The story of how he arrived on Pasio - the region of Pokémon Masters- is told in a new chapter, and his interactions with the main antagonists of the game - Team Break - take center stage.

If you're looking to obtain Giovanni and Mewtwo in Pokémon Masters, here's everything you need to know, including how long you have until the event ends and the best Sync Pairs to take into battle with the boss of Team Rainbow Rocket.

POKEMON MASTERS GIOVANNI AND MEWTWO EVENT TIME

Pokémon Masters players will have a couple weeks to obtain Giovanni and Mewtwo. From Thursday, December 5 to Thursday, December 19 at 12:59 p.m. EST, the special event takes place.

HOW TO OBTAIN GIOVANNI AND MEWTWO IN POKEMON MASTERS

To recruit Giovanni and Mewtwo as a Sync Pair in Pokémon Masters, players will have to play a lot of the game and collect special tickets.

Collect 800 "Lurking Shadow" Tickets to open up a new chapter of the story to recruit Giovanni and Mewtwo. There are four stages in particular that will help players obtain these special items. The single-player battle against Giovanni and Mewtwo is a quick and easy way to grind these tickets if you are not at a high enough level. However, going to the co-op battles is a much faster way of earning these tickets.

Not only will completing each co-op battle difficulty the first time give a large amount of tickets, but it's also the best way to accrue tickets faster. You can easily earn 20 tickets every time you win the Hard difficulty, for example.

With 800 tickets to earn, players will need to be patient to recruit this powerful duo.

Players will also notice event-exclusive items they can earn. These items will have Mewtwo and Giovanni's face on the corner and will be required to unlock the Sync Pair's level cap and learn moves and skills. so you should go back and farm for these items even after obtaining them.

BEST SYNC PAIRS TO DEFEAT GIOVANNI AND MEWTWO

Giovanni and Team Break will try and overwhelm you and your Sync Pairs, but if you bring these types of Pokémon into battle you will do fine even at higher difficulties.

Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokémon that is weak to Dark-type attacks so bringing as many Dark as you can into the battle will benefit you. Depending on the difficulty level you take on, you may also want to consider bringing an Electric-type Pokémon as well.

If you need an Electric-type, Hau and his Alolan Raichu is a great choice that can be obtained in the main story. Elesa and Zebstrike are a powerful five-star Sync Pair that will also help you in battle.

As for dealing with Mewtwo, Cheren and Stoutland are a five-star Sync Pair that, while not being a Dark-type, has access to Crunch, a Dark-type attack. This pair is also obtained in the main story. If you're fortunate enough to obtain Grimsley and Liepard or Karen and Houdoom - two five-star Sync Pairs - bring them into battle too.

Level those Sync Pairs up to max, and you'll eventually be able to take down Mewtwo and Giovanni.
