To clear floors 31 through 40 of the Normal Pasio Tower in Pokémon Masters EX, pair a self-sufficient primary damage dealer like Palmer & Regigigas with defensive support partners like Larry. Enemies in this floor range possess higher bulk and punish slow setups, making quick offensive power and strong team sustain essential.
Core Team Composition for Floors 31–40
The main bottleneck on these floors is enemy bulk combined with accelerating enemy damage output. Relying on strikers that require multiple turns of external stat buffing wastes valuable time before the enemy launches its first sync move.
- Primary Striker (Palmer & Regigigas): Use strikers that can quickly boost their own offensive stats or possess high inherent damage without multi-turn setups. Independent attackers allow your support slots to focus entirely on defensive survival.
- Defensive Support (Larry): Bring utility supports that keep your primary damage dealer alive through long fights. Key support capabilities include move gauge acceleration, team healing, damage mitigation, and stat debuffs to soften tough targets.
| Slot Role | Primary Function | Ideal Traits |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Dealer | Burst damage & main target elimination | Self-buffing skills, unresisted attack types |
| Support Anchor | Team survival & gauge flow | Move gauge acceleration, direct healing, damage reduction |
| Flex Utility | Disrupting enemy setup | Stat debuffs, enemy weakness targeting, secondary survival |
Optimizing Turn Economy and Sync Acceleration
Winning battles efficiently relies on reaching your first sync move as quickly as possible while minimizing non-attacking turns.
- Prioritize Entry Passives: Use Sync Pairs with passive skills that trigger stat buffs or field effects upon entering the battle to save active move actions.
- Accelerate Sync Countdowns: Focus on skills and trainer moves that reduce the sync move counter to outpace the AI's sync move build-up.
- Target High-Threat Minions: Defeat side enemies first if they carry disruptive status moves or heavy area-of-effect damage, preventing extra damage on your main striker.
Team Adjustments and Trade-offs
A hyper-offensive strategy relying on a single major damage dealer carries risks. If your primary striker goes down early, support units rarely possess enough offensive strength to finish the battle alone.
- Managing Weaknesses: Ensure your primary striker’s move type is not resisted by the enemy team. If your damage output stalls, swap your flex utility unit to match the stage's specific offensive counters.
- Offensive vs. Stall Compositions: If you lack top-tier strikers like Palmer & Regigigas, substitute double-support or defensive stall compositions. Expect longer battles, as defensive builds must survive multiple enemy sync moves before chipping down opponent health.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Pokémon Masters EX articles next.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Good guide for Pokémon Masters EX players. The strategy part was useful.
