Time trial event
Time trial events[note 1] (Japanese: タイムアタックイベント Time Attack Event) are a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. These challenge players to complete battles in a short amount of time; players are graded and awarded points according to how long they take to win a battle, and they earn event rewards by reaching point milestones.
Format
The first two time trial events—Race to Victory and Eternal Rivals—consisted of two types of battles: three main time trial battles and a practice match. Players were granted three attempts per day to clear any of the main time trial battles; any unused attempts were rolled over to subsequent days. The practice match was available for players to play as many times as they want, with the battle being the same as the Very Hard difficulty for the main time trial battles. The practice match did not consume attempts or stamina, and while it did not award any points, medals could be earned the same as in the Very Hard main time trial battle. In addition, bonuses were granted to the stats of certain sync pairs who participated in event battles and the points awarded upon completing a battle with those sync pairs on the team.
However, from Top Speed onwards, the format was significantly altered. Only one or two battles were available, which could be challenged as many times as the player wanted. This battle did not consume stamina, and it awarded points on completion. However, sync pairs no longer received bonuses to stats or points.
