Arceus Arc
The Arceus Arc (Japanese: アルセウス編 Arceus Arc) is a storyline available in Pokémon Masters EX as part of its Main Story (Japanese: メインストーリー Main Story). It takes place after the events of the Villain Arc, and it tells the stories of various sync pairs that manage to gain the blessing of Arceus.
Like the two prior arcs, each chapter is unlocked once the previous one is completed. However, unlike the other main story arcs, there are currently no battles available. An option to play the arc on Hard difficulty exists, but no areas are available on that difficulty. Despite this, the Arceus Arc does have a recommended level, which is level 60.
The story of the Arceus Arc began with the addition of the Mysterious Stones Chapter on November 1, 2023. However, it was not revealed that this was only the first chapter of a larger story arc until August 20, 2024, when it was simply referred to as the ??? Arc. It was officially named the Arceus Arc on August 28, 2024, alongside the addition of its first chapter.
