Unlike mainline Pokémon games, battles in Pokémon Masters are real-time three-vs-three matches. Once your move gauge is full, you can unleash one of the two moves in your Pokémon’s arsenal. You can also use Sync moves unique to the trainer and his/her partner Pokémon. What’s more, trainers can use their own moves as well, which will either heal or boost the stats of their Pokémon. According to The Pokémon Company, trainers and their partner Pokémon are called Sync Pairs, with 65 of them available at launch and more coming at later points.
