Middle-Aged Opposites (Japanese: 正反対のおじさんたち Middle-Aged Opposites) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Larry & Dudunsparce and Kabu & Centiskorch.
The "Larry Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Larry & Dudunsparce from the beginning of the event to July 10, 2024. The "Kabu Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Kabu & Centiskorch from June 16 to July 10, 2024.
During this event, players could earn Event Vouchers J from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using Larry & Dudunsparce or Kabu & Centiskorch to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Rika & Clodsire or Poppy & Tinkaton to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Veteran Trainer theme skill to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.
This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.
Players could also earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
Additionally, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. The title screen artwork depicted Larry & Dudunsparce and Kabu & Centiskorch, and the background music was 
Battle! (Paldea Elite Four: Larry) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, a special voice-over line of Larry and Kabu saying "Pokémon Masters EX" would play as soon as the game's logo appeared on the title screen, chosen at random each time the title screen was loaded.
