Run the Numbers with Thorton & Magnezone in Pokémon Masters EX

Rowdy rental Pokémon are disobeying their Trainers, and Sawyer is at his wit’s end. Thankfully, there are two Trainers on Pasio who are well acquainted with rental Pokémon: Noland and Thorton. These two Factory Heads have seen it all and are up for the challenge. Find out how it all unfolds in Pokémon Masters EX’s newest story event, Trainer Files: Two Factory Heads!

Thorton & Magnezone are a Steel-type field sync pair that can really put opponents in a bind. Their Factory Knowledge passive skill restrains a target after Thorton & Magnezone’s attack is successful against that opponent. This passive skill also powers up the moves of all allied sync pairs when they attack a restrained target. Getting opponents restrained is also key to activating Thorton & Magnezone’s Hit Restrained Opp: Free Move Next 9 and Hit Restrained Opp: Supereffective ↑ Next 9 passive skills.

Hit Restrained Opp: Free Move Next 9 applies the Free Move Next effect to Thorton & Magnezone whenever their attack is successful against a restrained opponent. Hit Restrained Opp: Supereffective ↑ Next 9 applies the Supereffective ↑ Next effect to Thorton & Magnezone whenever their attack is successful against a restrained opponent. Once Thorton & Magnezone have a target restrained, your team can land an easy win!
