Theme skill

A theme skill (Japanese: チームスキル Team Skill) , known as type skill (Japanese: タイプスキル Type Skill) prior to version 2.4.0, is a game mechanic in Pokémon Masters EX that was introduced in update 1.12.0. Theme skills are activated when two or more sync pairs with the same type or theme are placed in a team in single-player, thereby strengthening all of the team's members.

Skill Sphere

From version 2.4.0, type skills are now part of theme skills. There are new skills by region: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola; skills by trainer group: Main Character, Elite Four, Gym Leader, and Champion.

Version 2.6.0 added the last new region skill, Galar, as well as multiple new trainer groups: Rival, Villain, Trial Giver, and Battle Facility Foe. In addition, several fashion-related and other miscellaneous new theme skills were added.

Version 2.9.0 added the Alola Adventurer, Melemele Family, and Masked theme skills.

Version 2.11.0 added the Galar Adventurer theme skill.

Mechanics

There are three different kinds of theme skills for each role. The effect of theme skills can be upgraded using Skill Spheres.
