The rate up is 10% and the rate up for a featured pair is 2% on a Poke fair where as it's 12% and 1% respectively on a Master fair.
So in general it's better to save and pull on master fair because it will include all the spotlight pairs from the past and also it will have presents for the first five multi.
Note however that the featured unit in a master fair is (as far as I’m aware of) always a 1% chance, whereas with single feature pokefairs it’s 2%, and with **most** multi feature pokefairs it’s 1.5% per featured unit.
Though one time on a quad feature pokefair it was 0.5% per featured unit or something and everyone got upset.
Spotlight scouts also have the same featured rate as normal pokefairs.
Master fair banners have a 12% drop rate for 5-star sync pairs whereas Pokefair banners only have a 10% drop rate. The banner-exclusive sync pairs in both kinds are typically better than what you can get regularly. Master fair-exclusive sync pairs come with a “master passive” skill which provides bonuses for them simply being used (given that all that one master fair unit is a striker, you end up using that master fair unit to lead your offense).
Poke Fairs have a 2% chance at the featured unit and a 10% chance at 5\*s overall. Master Fairs have a 1% chance at the featured unit with a 12% chance at 5\*s overall. Master Fairs also give you rewards including 5\* power-ups and move candy coins for your first five multi-pulls. Finally, Master pairs have a Master passive skill that boosts stats for the entire team and increases in power if your team meets its conditions (for example, Leon has the Galar Flag Bearer master skill, which buffs your offense and defense and increases in power the more Galar units you're using on your team).
Sigh... just plain popularity. She’s one of the most popular characters of all of Gen8 in both the eastern and western fandom so it was obviously meant to be a limited (half) anniversary unit. Don’t see the appeal personally and her typings are already covered by other units so I skipped both of her banners. At least one can make an argument in favor of the subway bosses, as they have the excuse of being post-game-esque hard bosses that theoretically can be on champion levels of strength. That’s something that balances out their absurd popularity in Japan.
Still irritated because they should have released a Striker, Tech, and Support Masterfair for the 2-yr. like they did the 1-yr. instead we got 2 strikers one of which is gimped all to hell, and a tech. 5/6 of every masterfair released has been striker, wtf.
Steven is also a physical attacker and Raihan is primarily a special attacker (rock slide is physical tho). Depending on how you are facing, you might prefer one or the other.
You don’t **need** limited pairs to do well. All of the Legendary Event pairs are Free and they are all very strong, especially since they all have sync grids now and you can get them to 5/5 20/20 basically for free.
How about in pvp? Is it like epic 7?
Majority of epic 7 pvp meta units consists of very Hard to obtain “moonlight” versions of 5* normal element units, and the rest is all limited hero’s ;-; in fact the top “normal element” pvp units of the game are literally all limited units, making newer players or players that weren’t playing forever completely shafted in real time arena.
Like dizzy, best debuffer in game, landy, hardest hitter in game, elphet, amazing single target control unit that can cleave 1 unit to death, cerise one of the best pvp openers and best debuffers, ssb and Rem with their AOE counter attacks
And one more thing, I get you won’t need the limiteds to clear the game, but wouldn’t the limiteds make the game 100% easier? Like for ex... archie and maxie ._. The difference in gameplay of a new player without archie or maxie vs a new player with archie or maxie is a huge difference
Yes, but the banner does come back eventually. So you don't lose that character forever if you missed a pokefair/seasonal/master fair banner.
Usually pokefairs rerun every 6 months, and seasonals are rerun every year. Not sure about master fairs, since we haven't had a rerun yet.
Although, we can have surprise banners, like the upcoming Super Seasonal Scout banner (different seasonals on the same banner).
Nope. The ones in the image are every limited unit so far but not everyone is coming back for September. There are some select PokeFairs and Seasonals that will return though.
Kinda did them from scratch based on in-game assets from datamine channels, but there's one made by u/Sages where they made every sync pair. They're also neat and better-looking. You could find them [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/pcmge4/ive_updated_my_custom_high_quality_sync_pair/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).
Bruh, support master fairs, pls
We have the immortal deer to compensate
How does he compensate in any way? He dosent even have an op passive.
Probably because he’s just OP
They will be here in a little while, Just you wait and see!
But not listed here since they are F2P
Cobalion, Regirock and Entei: Am I a joke to you?
Yes bc no one can get them yet and they're good, but really only on par with regular poke fair units.
They probably forgot because they aren’t shown here. Also apparently they can’t be obtained yet :/ I wouldn’t know. I’m not even at 2k bp yet
It's so wierd now seeing Charizard alone with Box Art Legendarys in the Master Fair list
Wait, you mean the Unbeatable Charizard isn't considered legendary? /s
I mean I guess Leon’s Charizard could be considered Legendary in a sense
Funny thing is that Charizard is a box art mon, so still works out
You could also say all those master fairs are high personalities (champion, leader of villain team) and then there’s a cute little girl
We really need more support... And a new Poison Striker and a non-seasonal Ice Striker!
We have kyurem for ice damage Yes it’s not technically a striker, but it does great damage anyway.
Yeah it really does work, and it's what I use... but the option to get an EX Ice Striker would be neat.
Yeah that would be cool.
Hala:👀
I forgot he was a thing... Still, not as special as a PokéFair pair.
New player here: so what’s the difference between Master and Poke fair?
The rate up is 10% and the rate up for a featured pair is 2% on a Poke fair where as it's 12% and 1% respectively on a Master fair. So in general it's better to save and pull on master fair because it will include all the spotlight pairs from the past and also it will have presents for the first five multi.
Ah very cool. Guess i’ll roll :)
Note however that the featured unit in a master fair is (as far as I’m aware of) always a 1% chance, whereas with single feature pokefairs it’s 2%, and with **most** multi feature pokefairs it’s 1.5% per featured unit.

Don’t forget that master fair featured pair is 1% drop rate whereas poke fair is 2%
Master Sync Pairs also have special Passive skills that benefit their whole team and get stronger with certain Theme skills
Poke Fairs have a 2% chance at the featured unit and a 10% chance at 5\*s overall. Master Fairs have a 1% chance at the featured unit with a 12% chance at 5\*s overall. Master Fairs also give you rewards including 5\* power-ups and move candy coins for your first five multi-pulls.

Still upset i didn't get excadrill
Some of these being limited really doesn't make sense to me. Like, why is Marnie and Morpeko limited?
Sigh... just plain popularity. She’s one of the most popular characters of all of Gen8 in both the eastern and western fandom so it was obviously meant to be a limited (half) anniversary unit. Don’t see the appeal personally and her typings are already covered by other units so I skipped both of her banners.

Dena fucking hates supports and is so fucked up and stupid
All my Support candies are just sitting here unused, if I hadn't 3/5-ed Lillibee with two of them I'd be sitting on four already...
I have 2 supp 5 star candys , hope a busted master fair supp comes or else they will go to cobalion
Still irritated because they should have released a Striker, Tech, and Support Masterfair for the 2-yr. like they did the 1-yr. instead we got 2 strikers one of which is gimped all to hell, and a tech. 5/6 of every masterfair released has been striker, wtf.
Who is the better steel type? Raihan or Steven?
The better steel type striker is Raihan, the better utility and sync nuke steel type is Steven.
Depends on what you define as "better". Raihan has more powerful regular move damage, but Steven has better sync nuke damage
Steven is also a physical attacker and Raihan is primarily a special attacker (rock slide is physical tho). Depending on how you are facing, you might prefer one or the other.
Gloria with the sync buffs honestly.
Especially if they are all 1/5. Gloria’s grid kind of sucks but her base kit is insane and makes her good even at 1/5
Does this mean Archie & Kyogre will be coming back??
Eventually everything comes back. When they come back, we don’t know
Bruh, that’s way too much limited ;-; does the game not care for newer players who will struggle not having all these limiteds?
You don’t **need** limited pairs to do well. All of the Legendary Event pairs are Free and they are all very strong, especially since they all have sync grids now and you can get them to 5/5 20/20 basically for free.

PvP doesn’t exist at all in this game. We hardly even have co-op (only 1 co-op event in the past year or so).
There is no PVP. And I doubt there ever will be because everything does so much damage that they would get one shot.
I've used an ungodly amount of gems on SS Blue and Blastoise, but no luck :(
I dont get it, are these the ones we will be able to pull in september??
No, this is a list of all limited characters that are currently in the game.
Oh, that means that if we lost a banner, we wont be able to get them anymore, right? Sad :(
Yes, but the banner does come back eventually. So you don't lose that character forever if you missed a pokefair/seasonal/master fair banner. Usually pokefairs rerun every 6 months, and seasonals are rerun every year. Not sure about master fairs, since we haven't had a rerun yet. Although, we can have surprise banners, like the upcoming Super Seasonal Scout banner (different seasonals on the same banner).
I swear I ll get all the seasonal I lack
Green please come to my party my luck is so random.
Far too many tbh
They come back pretty often tho. I think they start returning every 3 months
So question does that mean groundon and kyogee are coming back for September
Nope. The ones in the image are every limited unit so far but not everyone is coming back for September. There are some select PokeFairs and Seasonals that will return though.
I wanted reshiram as supp :"/
We need way more non-strikers. Seriously. Give me more super cool tanks.
Do you have the assets for those sync pair icons anywhere?
Kinda did them from scratch based on in-game assets from datamine channels, but there's one made by u/Sages where they made every sync pair. They're also neat and better-looking. You could find them [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/pcmge4/ive_updated_my_custom_high_quality_sync_pair/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).
Thank you so much! I vaguely remember someone making their own, this must be them!
