Professor Oak & Mew are Playable: For the first time ever in Pokémon games, Professor Oak will join the battle as a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters. Accompanied by Mew, these characters will be distributed to all new and old players that log into the game and complete the tutorial before March 15.

New Sync Pairs: The Steel-type sync pair Steven & Metagross is also now recruitable.
