Only pull for Anniversary Blue & Mega Dragonite in Pokémon Masters EX if your roster lacks a primary Flying-type striker and you have at least 36,600 gems saved to reach the pity threshold.
Before spending your resources, evaluate your remaining gems against upcoming banner schedules and audit your current Flying-type options for endgame content like Champion Stadium and extreme battle events.
Banner Evaluation and Resource Checklist
Master Fair banners carry high opportunity costs due to their limited availability. Using a structured check prevents spending gems on banners that do not upgrade your account.
| Criteria | Pull Recommendation | Skip Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Savings | You have 36,600 or more gems to guarantee the pity pull. | You have fewer than 36,600 gems and cannot guarantee the sync pair. |
| Flying-Type Roster | You lack a heavy Flying-type striker to clear weak-to-Flying stages. | Your existing roster already comfortably clears high-difficulty Flying content. |
| Account Goals | You need burst damage to bypass mechanics in Master Mode or score events. | You prefer saving gems for general-purpose utility or future Arc Suit units. |
Team Building Requirements
Anniversary Blue functions as a main damage dealer who benefits the entire squad through Master Fair passive skills. However, maximizing output requires proper team composition:
- Dedicated Support: Pair Blue with a support unit capable of rapidly maxing out offensive stats early in the fight.
- Gauge Management: Include a support pair with move gauge acceleration or low-cost skills to sustain Blue's high-cost attacks.
- Fast-Paced Strategy: Avoid pairing Blue with slow setup units; the team must maintain strong offensive momentum from turn one.
Tactical Deployment Sequence
To maximize damage and clear high-difficulty stages efficiently, execute battle commands in this sequence:
- Buff Fast: Use your support pairs' Trainer moves during the first turn cycle to raise offensive stats.
- Count Down to Sync: Queue attacks continuously to lower the sync move countdown as quickly as possible.
- Trigger Mega Evolution: Select Blue for the team's first sync move to transform into Mega Dragonite, unlocking enhanced base stats and a higher damage ceiling.
- Unleash Burst Damage: Focus Mega Dragonite's attacks directly on Flying-weak targets to clear the stage before the opponent can fire off a sync move.

This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This helped me understand strategy much better.
