Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena
Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor
Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier

Curious Tea Party (Japanese: 謎解きティーパーティー Mystery-Solving Tea Party) was a costume event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist, Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena, Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor, and Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier.

This event featured a main storyline—Curious Tea Party—which featured all four sync pairs, and sub-story areas—Party Prep stories—for each of the featured sync pairs.

Curious Tea Party was contained in a separate event menu from the Party Prep stories, consisting of several story areas. It also contained two Battle Challenges, 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.

In the Party Prep stories, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battles, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Party Prep stories also featured special riddle missions. Within an event story area, a character presented another character with a riddle, which the player would have to answer. The player could give their answer by completing a certain battle using sync pairs with specific theme skills. Answering the riddle correctly would unlock the storyline's final story area, in which the character gave the same answer.

First run

The event first ran from March 31 to May 4, 2022. The "Lillie Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist for the duration of the event. The "Sonia Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena starting on April 7, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event. The "Ingo Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor starting on April 14, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event. The "Emmet Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier starting on April 21, 2022, and lasting until the end of the event.

During this run, there were four different Party Prep stories available: Lillie's Party Prep—An Eye for Beauty, Sonia's Party Prep—The Finest Tea, Ingo's Party Prep—Way of the Butler, and Emmet's Party Prep—Heart and Soul. Each Party Prep story could be unlocked using a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing story areas in Curious Tea Party. Two of the Curious Tea Party story areas were available at the start of the event, and a new story area was added each week until all five story areas had been added. The Party Prep stories could be unlocked in any order. Extra Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The Battle Challenge areas were also added over the course of the event. The first two areas, Cress's Battle Challenge! Round 1 and Cress's Battle Challenge! Round 2, became available on April 7, 2022. The second two areas, Cilan's Battle Challenge! Round 1 and Cilan's Battle Challenge! Round 2, became available on April 21, 2022.

Second run

The event reran from April 22 to May 8, 2023. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lillie (Special Costume) & Polteageist, Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena, Ingo (Special Costume) & Accelgor, and Emmet (Special Costume) & Escavalier for the duration of the event.

During this run, all the Party Prep stories were combined into one event menu, called Solving Wonderful Mysteries. Story Keys were no longer needed to unlock them, and as such were no longer available from completing story areas in Curious Tea Party. All story areas in Curious Tea Party were available from the start, and thus the whole main storyline could be played through without interruption. In addition, the Battle Challenge areas were available from the start.

Name Text
(Town)
Lillie Hey, <player>! Over here!
I’m sure of it this time! I heard it from Trista!
I got up early so I could dress up for today’s tea party and have time to spare in case I got lost, but...
It looks like I might be running late anyway... Things just aren’t going as planned.

That's a great outfit.: Thank you!
Did it take a while to get ready?: Yes. I really worked hard on my look for today!
I’ve been looking forward to attending the tea party dressed up the same as Polteageist!
Oh! But this is no time to stand around chatting!
I don’t want to make everyone wait for us! Come on, <player>! Let’s hurry!
(Transition to the tea party)
Lillie Whew! We made it just in time!
It looks like everyone’s here. I think the party’s about to start!
??? Welcome, everyone! Welcome to our curious tea party!
(Emmet, Ingo, and Sonia appear in their costumes)
??? Ohohohohohoooh!
Lillie S-Sonia?! You seem kinda different...
And what do you mean by "curious"?
Sonia The tea party Lear is throwing today is no ordinary one!
It is open only to sync pairs who have worked together with Pokémon to solve the riddles and puzzles we’ve prepared!
Ingo We shall be conducting today’s event.
Allow us to transport you all to a dazzling world of curious conundrums!
Emmet I’m afraid there’ll be no exit available once we’ve begun! The puzzles awaiting you are difficult ones, so prepare yourselves!
Sonia Ohohohohohoooh!
Lillie Sonia sure seems to be having fun! She’s really getting into this!
As for puzzles... I’m not really confident about solving them.
But maybe I can make use of the experiences I had back in Alola!
And besides, I’m sure I’ll be fine because I’ve got you with me, right, <player>?

You can count on me!: I’m glad to hear it! I’ll be giving it my all as well so we can reach our goal!
Let's work it all out together!: Yes! With the right attitude, I know we can reach our goal together!


  • Trial from a Trio
Name Text
(Cave)
Lillie Let's see. I heard the first puzzle would be around here somewhere...
??? We've been waiting for you.
(Cilan, Chili, and Cress appear)
Cilan Welcome! My name is Cilan. I work as a waiter in the Unova region's Striaton City
Chili Same here! I'm Chili!
Cress And I am Cress. Please remember us in the future!
Chili We heard you were having a tea party and figured we couldn't possibly miss out on that! So here we are!
Cilan Yes, we're quite confident in our knowledge of tea.
I select only the best tea leaves...
Cress prepares the purest water...
And then Chili pours the water after heating it to just the perfect temperature.
We believe that the tea we make this way is the best in all of Unova... No, in the whole world!
Lillie Wow, you all must really love tea! I do, too!
Cress Then I'm sure we'll get along splendidly.
We're still quite new to Pasio, so we'd appreciate any good tea shop recommendations.
And personally, I'm very interested in that Polteageist.
Might it be an Antique Form Polteageist?
Lillie Yes, apparently! People often tell me it's rare.
This Pokémon doesn't live in the Alola region, so I don't really know much about it...
Chili Well, good tea doesn't get its quality from the teapot.
The most important thing for both tea and Pokémon is putting your heart into it!
Lillie Oh, yes! I totally agree!
Cilan Now then, about the puzzle...
The three of us pooled our knowledge to come up with this challenge, so I hope you enjoy it.
Your first objective is to make it through this pitch-dark cave.
You may not be assisted by your partner Pokémon. Instead, please choose the most appropriate partner from the ones right here.
Darach I am here to provide what little assistance I can.
If you're curious about any of these partners, I can tell you a bit about them.
(When talking to Cilan)
Cilan You may not be assisted by your partner Pokémon. Instead, please choose the most appropriate partner from the ones right here.
(When talking to Darach)
Darach If you're curious about any of these partners, I can tell you a bit about them.
(When choosing the Litwick)
Darach This is Litwick, the Candle Pokémon.
It's said that Litwick's light absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon and burns it up.
Would you like to choose this Pokémon?
OK!: (Transition to Litwick, Lillie, and the player preparing to enter the cave, with Cilan, Cress, and Chili watching)
When Litwick entered the darkness, its flame started burning brightly.
Lillie Watching that light is making me feel kinda dizzy...
I'm pretty sure I've heard that Litwick's light sucks out the life energy of people and Pokémon...
Oh... Oh no! We need to turn back! Hurry, <player>!
<player> and Lillie rushed back out of the cave...
(When choosing the Swimmer)
Darach Be it summer or winter, it makes no difference to this swimmer, who always wears his swimsuit.
He'd like you to take particular note of his trapezius and pectoral muscles.
Would you like to choose this person?
OK!: (Transition to the Swimmer, Lillie, and the player preparing to enter the cave, with Cilan, Cress, and Chili watching)
When the swimmer entered the darkness, he immediately started freaking out.
Swimmer I can't see anything at all! It's so dark, it doesn't even matter if I'm wearing a swimsuit or not!
For all you know right now, I might be wearing shorts like a youngster or a miniskirt like a lass!
What's the point of being a swimmer anyway?! Am I...no more than my swimsuit?!
Uwaaahhh!!!
The swimmer sprinted back out of the cave with incredible speed.
(When choosing the Braixen)
Darach This is the Fox Pokémon Braixen.
When the twig is plucked from its tail, friction sets the twig alight. It's said that this flame is used to send signals to Braixen's allies.
Would you like to choose this Pokémon?
OK!: (Transition to Braixen, Lillie, and the player preparing to enter the cave, with Cilan, Cress, and Chili watching)
When Braixen entered the darkness, it pulled the twig from its tail and set it alight.
Lillie Oh, now we can see where we're going!
Swimmer Huh?! Look, the water near that fire over there looks perfect for swimming!
Cannonbaaall!!!
The splash put out the flame on Braixen's twig!
<player> and Lillie had no choice but to turn back...
(When choosing the Mudkip)
Darach Ah, Mudkip. The Mud Fish Pokémon.
The fin on its head acts as a radar, sensing movements of air and water, so Mudkip can get a grasp of its surroundings without using its eyes.
Would you like to choose this Pokémon?
OK!: (Transition to Mudkip, Lillie, and the player preparing to enter the cave, with Cilan, Cress, and Chili watching)
When Mudkip entered the darkness, it lifted up the fin on its head and began walking confidently forward.
Lillie W-wait! Where did you go, Mudkip?
Oh, I think it's crying out to guide us! Let's follow the sound of its cry!
<player> and Lillie followed the sound of Mudkip's cries and made it safely through the cave!
Lillie We, we made it through the cave!
What kind of puzzle do you think we'll be faced with next?
??? We'll be conducting your next puzzle!
(Emmet and Ingo appear)


  • Puzzling Hospitality
Name Text
(Cave)
Emmet We came up with the next puzzle for you! Please enjoy yourselves!
Lillie Both of you have such wonderful outfits!
Ingo Thank you! We consider this to be the most suitable attire for a tea party!
We have no experience as butlers specifically, but as Subway Bosses, we already share the same dedication to service and hospitality!
We hope this experience brings us and our guests even closer together!
Lillie I can see how dedicated you are!
Emmet We've also just gotten new partner Pokémon, so we're hoping to deepen our bonds with them through this event as well.
Our partner Pokémon are Escavalier and Accelgor.
These special Pokémon can only evolve when Karrablast and Shelmet are brought together.
That's exactly why Ingo and I have raised them together!
Ingo They make a great combination, just as we do!
Lillie Oh my. I'm guessing you've come up with a really difficult puzzle, then...
Ingo That's correct! It won't be an easy one!
Emmet But the rules are quite simple!
If you make it through the cave up ahead, you'll reach the next destination.
Accelgor and Escavalier will be waiting along the correct path, so be sure to follow them!
Lillie What happens if we take the wrong path?
Ingo You may come across something rather frightening!
Lillie F-frightening?! Like...what?
If something scary happens, I'll leave it to you to take care of, <player>...
Ingo And with that, we'll send you on your way! Take care!
(First area)
Roxanne My Nosepass can help with the puzzle solving!
If you're lost, just take a look at the direction Nosepass's nose is pointing.
(When talking to Lillie)
Lillie Do you think Nosepass will show us which way to go?
(When talking to Roxanne)
Roxanne If you're lost, just take a look at the direction Nosepass's nose is pointing.
Nosepass's nose is highly magnetic and is always pointing in a certain direction.
(When tapping on Nosepass)
It's holding a note that says, "Go north."
(When choosing the wrong direction)
(A Mimikyu drops down)
Lillie Pikachu?
Eeek!
<player> and Lillie ran back the way they'd come!
(When choosing the right direction)
Lillie Oh, it's Accelgor! Which must mean this is the right way!
And it's gone... It looks like we've still got a long way to go, too.
(Second area)
Ingo Bravo! Excellent!
Emmet Congratulations! You solved our puzzle!
Lillie Thank you so much! It was really thrilling!
Ingo We're honored to hear that. It seems our efforts paid off!
Now then, you still have a bit more puzzle solving to do. Please continue, and take care!
Lillie There's another fork in the path.
Let's look carefully at Nosepass's nose before we decide which way to go!
(When talking to Lillie)
Lillie Apparently, its nose isn't always facing the path we want to take.
(When tapping on Nosepass)
It's holding a note that says, "Go east."
(When choosing the wrong direction)
Lillie M-Mimikyu?!
<player> and Lillie ran back the way they'd come!
(When choosing the right direction)
Lillie It looks like this way is blocked by some boulders...
Oh, actually, I think we can break these boulders pretty easily!
Oh, it's Escavalier! We did it! This is the right way!
Oh, it left, too... But I'm sure we must be almost there!
(Third area)
Lillie It looks like there's only one way to go here!
We must be nearly at our goal now, <player>!
(When talking to Lillie)
Lillie It looks like just one way to go!
(When tapping on Nosepass)
It's holding a note that says, "Go south."
(When choosing the wrong direction)
Lillie M-Mimikyu is blocking our way!
<player> and Lillie ran back the way they'd come!
(When talking to Lillie after choosing the wrong direction)
Lillie What's on your mind?
What should we do?: Based on what we've seen so far, Nosepass's nose seems to always be pointing north.
Wait, what? That would mean that the correct path is...

Let's turn back.: Huh? You want to go back the way we came?
If you say so! I believe in you, <player>!
(Lillie and the player turn back)
Lillie Oh, look! It's Accelgor and Escavalier!
So turning back was the correct choice?
(The Mimikyu leaves)
Lillie Perfect! Now we can get through!
(Transition to the tea party)
Lillie This is...where we started, isn't it?
??? Welcome to the tea party! I've been waiting for you!
Lillie Sonia!
Sonia And look at that—the first ones back are Lillie and <player>! Well done!
But do you think you can solve me puzzle, too?
Ohohohohohoooh!


  • Friend or Phony
Name Text
Lillie We've reached the last puzzle! It may be difficult, but it won't stop me from having tea with <player>! Let's solve it!
Sonia You certainly seem raring to go. But you'll need more than enthusiasm to solve my puzzle!
After all, this puzzle was created by none other than the queen and Pokémon Professor—me!
Lillie You're a queen?
Sonia Yes, I am! I thought that by becoming a queen, I could better understand my partner Tsareena!
Tsareena has an air of nobility and beauty, perfect for the role of a queen.
So I'm trying to emulate her. Studying is important, but it doesn't solve everything!
Anyway, back to business: the final puzzle!
(Four Polteageist appear)
Lillie Polteageist?!
Sonia They're all mixed together?!: It's tough to tell which of these is Lillie's partner Pokémon, isn't it?
Which one is Lillie's partner?: Finding it is your final puzzle!
Polteageist come in two forms: Antique Form and Phony Form.
And Lillie's is an Antique Form Polteageist. So...which one is it?
Oh, and of course Lillie would figure this out instantly, so this question is for you, <player>!
Lillie Awww... That's really frustrating, but I guess it's only fair.
I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines, <player>!
Sonia Here's a hint: there's one particular characteristic somewhere that only Antique Form Polteageist has!
All right! Can you tell which one it is, <player>?!
Guess which one is the Antique Form Polteageist!
(When talking to Sonia)
Sonia Guess which one is the Antique Form Polteageist!
Here's a hint: there's one particular characteristic somewhere that only Antique Form Polteageist has!
(When talking to Lillie)
Lillie You can do it, <player>!
(When tapping on the Phony Form Polteageists)
Sonia You think this is the Antique Form Polteageist?
Yes!: You're sure it's this one? The answer is...
Too bad... You guessed wrong. Try again and really look closely!

I'll think about it.: No rush! Take all the time you need to think!
(When tapping on the Antique Form Polteageist)
Sonia You think this is the Antique Form Polteageist?
Yes!: You're sure it's this one? The answer is...
Great! You're totally right! Those are some keen eyes you've got!

I'll think about it.: No rush! Take all the time you need to think!
Sonia You've solved every one of our puzzles! Well done, both of you!
Lillie Amazing! We did it! We finished first!
And it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much, <player>!
Sonia Hmm...
There's one too many.
Lillie Wh-what are you talking about?
Sonia I brought some Polteageist, but there's one more here than I had.
I thought maybe Lear had brought one to help me out, but if he'd done that, he would have told me...
Wha... Whaaat?! And now it's suddenly acting all weird, too?!
Lillie Please, calm down, Polteageist! What's going on with—?!
??? That's my partner Pokémon!
(A Masked Man appears)
Lillie Team Break! What are you doing here?!
Masked Man I've been following you this whole time...
Or, to be more precise, I've been trying to collect that Antique Form Polteageist!
Lillie My Polteageist?!
Masked Man Antique Form Polteageist are exceedingly rare. They're the real deal!
But all I have is a Phony Form Polteageist... A Fake!
So I'll be taking your Antique Form Polteageist, if you please!
Rrraaahhh! Prepare yourselves!


  • The Real Polteageist
Name Text
(Sonia battles and defeats the Masked Man)
Sonia Tsareena seems awfully pleased...
Lillie I've heard that when Tsareena win battles, they show off with a loud laugh.
Sonia Right, I'd heard that, too, but...
She really seems like an actual queen. I could learn a thing or two from her!
Masked Man Gwaaah?! But Antique Form Polteageist is right there in front of me!
I'll just have to try again with different Pokémon!
(Emmet and Ingo appear)
Ingo That's enough! I'm afraid we won't tolerate you being a nuisance!
Emmet Taking things from others is stealing! And we won't hold back against a thief!
Masked Man Grrr... I guess this is as far as I go...
Aww... I wish I had an Antique Form Polteageist...
I really thought I'd finally get a real Polteageist...
Lillie OK, that's enough! You need to apologize!
Sonia Yes, it's only natural that she'd be angry. You tried to steal her dear partner Pokémon.
Masked Man I'm...sorry. Seeing something so rare, I just couldn't help myself.
Lillie No! It's not me you need to apologize to!
Masked Man Huh?
Lillie Tell your Polteageist that you're sorry!
That Polteageist battled as hard as it could—and all for your sake.
But right in front of that loyal partner, all you can talk about is Antique Form Polteageist!
Who cares if it's the Antique Form or the Phony Form?
Phony Form or not, that Polteageist is yours, and that's what makes it authentic!
Masked Man I... You mean...
Ingo How very like you, Lillie. What excellent words of wisdom.
Masked Man Yes, you're right. This partner of mine has traveled all over Pasio with me.
I'm sorry, Polteageist.
You're the only real Polteageist for me. So please, keep being my partner...
You mean you'll forgive me? Thank you so much!
Ingo By the way, I had no idea that only Antique Form Polteageist had that mark!
Emmet That's right, Ingo! Neither one of us knew that!
Lillie I didn't know, either!
Ingo You didn't, Lillie?
Lillie I knew it had a mark on the bottom, but I just assumed that all the others did, too.
Sonia I thought you knew how to tell them apart, Lillie. That's why I wouldn't let you answer.
Lillie Oh, but I'm sure I would have known which is mine even without seeing the mark!
After all, it's my partner Pokémon!
Sonia Hmm... As a researcher, I wonder about that.
Why don't we test that, Lillie? Can you really tell your partner apart from all the others?
Lillie Yes! I'm sure I can!
Sonia Wow... You didn't even hesitate.
Ingo Bravo! There's a real bond between you two for sure!
Lillie Aww, you're making me blush... Thank you!
Sonia Hmm... Polteageist is often seen as a pest, so it usually disguises itself as kitchenware...
But I think I can see why this one chose to show itself to Lillie.
But anyway, congratulations once again on solving all our puzzles! And now, what we've all been waiting for...
Ingo An elegant, well-mannered tea party!
Emmet Tea and sweets await! Everyone smile!
Lillie Let's enjoy every minute of this fabulous tea party!
