The Rock-type Egg Event in Pokémon Masters runs from August 11 to August 25 at 1:59 a.m. EDT. Similar to the Bug-Type Egg Event that ended earlier this month, trainers can earn special Eggs that will hatch into various Rock-type Pokémon.
By completing the various stages in the Rock-type Egg Event, players will earn special Eggs based on the team they take into battle. Each Sync Pair will give players increased chances to earn these Eggs if they use a Rock-type Sync Pair, or a character Sync Pair. The chance of obtaining an Egg is highest when you use your character with a Rock-type Pokémon.
Currently, the only Sync Pairs that give you that high chance of getting more Eggs is one of the pairs that debut during this event.
NEW POKEMON MASTERS SYNC PAIRS
This new event will add four new Sync Pairs to Pokémon Masters. Aerodactyl and Kabuto are the highlights of this event—more on that later, but trainers can also pair up with Geodude and Onix.
Onix is already in the game, teamed up with Brock, but this Rock-type Sync Pair has different attacks. Sync Pairs that come from Eggs have various attacks and abilities based on whether it’s a Support, Tech or Strike pair.
