Pokemon Masters EX helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Shifting thinking and behaviors. 

In order to be successful with your Pokemon battles in this game, the player needs to be able to constantly assess which sync pairs would be the best for a particular battle. Certain Pokemon are stronger against other types of Pokemon and will therefore be better suited for certain battles. Players also need to take into account the level of the synced pairs they are bringing into the battle and how hard they think the fight will be. For players who struggle with flexibility, the game does provide a clue about what type of Pokemon the enemy will be using in order for you to successfully choose the best synced pairs to use for your fight. 

Planning: Becoming more systematic. 

There are many different ways to battle and explore the island of Pasio with your Pokemon and having a good plan for how to do this will save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. Certain challenges or areas need to be unlocked by completing portions of the main story, meaning the player needs to use their planning skills and determine what they have to complete before being able to access other areas of the island/game. The player also needs to use their planning skills when determining how to spend currency in the game. If the player does not want to use real money to purchase things in the app, they need to budget their in-game currency and make purchases that will benefit their journey the most.
