Pokémon Masters leverages the core creature-collecting of the main series, but reframes it as a real-time, three-on-three team battle strategy game. Its defining characteristic is the sync move, a powerful special attack that charges over time and features flashy animations. While the gacha system that fuels the game's monetization can be a hurdle, the satisfaction of assembling a team of your favorite trainers and monsters, and the bite-sized battles, keep players engaged.
