'Pokémon Masters' Rock-Type Egg Event: Shiny Aerodactyl, Kabutops and More

By
Newsgeek Pokemon

The latest event in Pokémon Masters is live and brings with it new Rock-type Pokémon to have your trainer character pair up with, as well as new chances to get Shiny Pokémon.

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.
