Pokemon Masters EX has added Nemona, one of Scarlet and Violet's most popular characters, to its trainer pool. The newest addition to DeNA's hit mobile game was unveiled during the August 8 Pokemon Presents event, which also marked the long-awaited arrival of two classic Pokemon games to Nintendo Switch Online, among other announcements.
First released in August 2019, Pokemon Masters EX is a free-to-play strategy game that tasks the player with becoming the Pokemon Masters League champion by engaging in a series of 3-on-3 battles. It offers a large pool of popular characters and pocket monsters that fans can recruit for their teams via gacha mechanics. Almost four years into its release, DeNA is still providing Pokemon Masters EX with regular content updates.
The latest addition to the game is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's rival Nemona, who forms a five-star Sync Pair with her Pawmot from the mainline games. Pawmot is dual-type Electric and Fighting Pokemon, which is a fairly rare combination.
​​​​​Nemona's Pawmot has access to a Sync Move called Coming to Fruition Double Shock, which is an electric attack whose damage scales with the Pokemon's Speed stat. Additionally, the first time this move is used in each battle, its countdown is reduced by three turns, which allows Pawmot to come out guns blazing and require an immediate response from the opponent. The creature's other options for pushing through damage are Thunder Punch and B Double Shock. Nemona's Pawmot can also leverage EX Speed to raise its Speed stat by six ranks, or reduce the Sync Move countdown of an allied pair by two turns with Let's Battle All Out.
Given its move set and typing, Pawmot is pretty much intended to play the role of a glass cannon that will make short work of many a pocket monster. The fact that its dual type is identical to that of Alolan Raichu is also not coincidence, as Pawmot evolves from the Pokemon series' latest Pikachu clone that is Pawmi.
Multiple fans have taken to social media in the aftermath of the August 8 Pokemon Presents to share their Nemona pulls, confirming that the character can already be obtained in the game. Following this addition, Pokemon Masters EX now features 173 trainers that players can recruit for their teams.
Pokemon Masters EX is available on mobile devices.
