Academy event
An academy event[1] (Japanese: アカデミーイベント Academy Event) is a type of limited-time event in Pokémon Masters EX. In these events, the player teams up with an academy sync pair and completes a series of battles at Pasio Academy to obtain special sync orbs to power up that sync pair. Each academy event also has featured units obtainable through the sync pair scout that allow the player to obtain extra sync orbs.
Overview
Upon opening an academy event for the first time, the player will play through a brief story area, at the end of which they recruit an academy sync pair. This sync pair starts at Level 140 and has 5★ potential, but it has low stats, only one move, and no passive skills. Additional stats, moves, and skills can be acquired by unlocking tiles on the pair's sync grid, which can only be done by obtaining unique sync-pair-specific sync orbs in their academy event. Academy sync pairs have a special sync grid called an in-training sync grid, which can only be used in academy event battles. An academy sync pair can only be used in battles outside the academy event once it has a completed sync grid.
The process of upgrading and completing an academy sync pair's sync grid is called an academy experience (Japanese: アカデミーライフ), which is divided into twelve rounds. In most rounds, eight to ten battles are randomly selected to appear in various locations around the academy. Different battles award different types and amounts of sync orbs for the academy sync pair, so players can choose which battles to take on based on which sync orbs they want to acquire. Battles can be quit and retried as many times as desired, but once the player completes a battle, the academy experience will advance to the next round and the area info will be refreshed. Players can complete battles using certain sync pairs on their team to multiply the amount of sync orbs received as rewards.
Occasionally, story segments will appear in addition to the battles. These come in two varieties, "Story" and "Look Around". Story stages involve a brief interaction between one or more characters, awarding a set number of sync orbs upon completion, while Look Around stages give the player either a choice of Trainers to talk to or a choice while talking to a single Trainer, awarding a random number of sync orbs, the type of which may change depending on the player's choices. Sync pair reward bonuses do not apply to Story or Look Around stages. Like battles, the academy experience will advance to the next round once a story segment is complete. However, if the player closes the game during a Story or Look Around stage, the academy experience will advance to the next round without giving the player their rewards. Most battles and story segments are available in all academy events, but each academy event has its own event-exclusive stages.
The sixth and twelfth rounds are special exam rounds: the sixth round is the midterm, and the twelfth round is the final. Exams are one-on-one battles where the player can only use the academy sync pair being trained in the event. Exams cannot be quit or restarted, and if the player loses, they will not receive any rewards. The player can choose one of three difficulties for the midterm exam and one of five difficulties for the final exam, with harder difficulties rewarding more sync orbs. The academy experience can be completed regardless of the outcome of the exams.
Once the final exam is completed, the epilogue becomes available. The player has the opportunity to modify their academy sync pair's in-training grid before playing the epilogue; the in-training grid can no longer be modified once the epilogue is completed. The content of the epilogue changes based on the academy sync pair's sync grid rank; if their grid rank is A or higher, the epilogue is a special story area unique to that academy event. If their grid rank is B or lower, the epilogue consists of a short conversation with Clavell in his office. The sync pair also receives a special title based on their grid rank at the end of their academy experience:
- Rank S or S+: Academy Superstar
- Rank A: Esteemed Elite
- Rank B: Buzzworthy Talent
- Rank C: Crowd-Pleaser
- Rank D: Sparkling Newbie
When an academy sync pair's academy experience is completed for the first time, its in-training grid becomes its completed grid. The in-training grid is reset for subsequent academy experiences, so in subsequent completions of the academy experience, the player can choose whether to keep the new, in-training grid or the old, completed grid. While making this decision, a trial battle is available where the player can try the academy sync pair in battle using either sync grid to compare them. Each time the player completes an academy experience, they receive 4 Custom ★ Power-Ups for the academy sync pair, so it can be raised to 
6★ EX after completing the academy experience five times.

The following battles are restricted to appearing only in certain rounds. "A Reward from Professor Kukui" can only appear from Round 1 to Round 5, while "A Reward from Director Clavell" can only appear from Round 7 to Round 11. Each battle can only be completed once during an academy experience, with its reward randomly selected each time it appears in a round. These battles normally have a 5% chance to appear in each round, but if the player has not completed the battle by its final round of availability—Round 5 for "A Reward from Professor Kukui" and Round 11 for "A Reward from Director Clavell"—it is guaranteed to appear. These battles cost 20 stamina to complete.

Trial battle
The trial battle is unlocked after the player completes an academy experience with an academy sync pair for a second time. The player chooses whether their academy sync pair will use its in-training grid or its completed grid before starting the battle in order to compare the two grids and decide which one they want to keep.

Look Around
In the Courtyard, the player can find these events, which let the player look around and interact with specific trainers without battling them. The amount of rewards obtained is usually randomized, and the player's choices may affect the type of orb received. When one of these events is available, all four types of sync orb are listed as rewards, but their amounts are listed as a question mark. These events can only happen in certain rounds.
