In Pokémon Masters EX, Gems are the premium currency used to make scout pulls for new Sync Pairs, as well as to buy tickets and other special items in the shop. There are two types: paid Gems (bought with real money) and unpaid Gems, which are the ones you earn by playing without spending. This guide focuses exclusively on unpaid Gems and gathers the methods that the community and the game's own information confirm as real ways to get them: daily missions, the automatic login rewards (daily, weekly, and monthly), progress through the main story and the Pokémon Masters League (PML) arc, the Legendary Tournament (Champion Stadium), Co-Op mode with its redeemable Pikachu Stickers, and the Mission Bingo events. With a consistent daily routine, it's possible to accumulate a significant number of Gems every month without spending money, although the biggest spikes come from completing story content and special tournaments.
What's the fastest way to get Gems in Pokémon Masters EX?
We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Gems, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.
Daily missions
Completing all available daily missions grants a total of 80 Gems per day. It's the most reliable method because it resets every 24 hours and the tasks tend to be simple (enter combat, use items, etc.). Doing this every day of the month, this single source alone can bring in more than 2,000 Gems monthly. It's the backbone of any free-to-play farming routine in the game.
Daily login reward
Just for logging into the game each day, Pokémon Masters EX automatically gifts 20 unpaid Gems. It doesn't require completing any extra task, just opening the app. It's a passive but consistent method that should always be added to your daily mission routine.
Weekly and monthly rewards
In addition to the daily reward, the game automatically hands out 100 unpaid Gems once a week and 300 unpaid Gems once a month. Both rewards build up effortlessly, simply by playing with some regularity. They're a fixed extra that helps round out the monthly total.
Main story progress and the PML arc
Dialogue-only areas give 10 Gems, regular battles award 30 Gems on their first victory, and main story battles on Hard difficulty grant up to 100 Gems. Chapters in the Pokémon Masters League (PML) arc are especially generous, with up to 300 Gems per completed chapter. These rewards are one-time per chapter, so their impact is greatest early on or whenever new content is released.
Legendary Tournament / Champion Stadium
Completing Champion Stadium on Normal difficulty grants 500 Gems, and clearing Hard Lv. 1 nets an additional 1,000 Gems. Earning the MVP medal in this mode adds another 1,500 Gems. These are among the highest rewards in the game, though limited to the first time you clear each difficulty tier.
Co-Op and Pikachu Stickers
In the exclusive Co-Op area, you can earn Pikachu Stickers by playing cooperatively with other trainers. These stickers build up and can be redeemed in the Exchange menu for Sync Pairs and valuable items, which occasionally include Gems. It's not a method with fixed amounts, but it pairs well with your daily routine if you play Co-Op regularly.
Mission Bingo and special events
Every temporary event usually activates a Mission Bingo, a 3x3 grid mission format where completing lines gives rewards, including Gems. There are also special login bonuses tied to specific events, which occasionally hand out batches of several hundred Gems at once. Amounts vary by event, so it's worth checking active missions every time new content launches.
How much free Gems can you get per month?
| Source | Estimated amount |
|---|---|
| Daily missions | ~2,400 (80/day) |
| Daily login reward | ~600 (20/day) |
| Weekly reward | ~400 (100/week) |
| Monthly reward | 300 |
| Event Mission Bingo | ~100-300 |
| Estimated total | ~3,800-4,000 Gems per month |
Community estimate based on the confirmed automatic rewards (daily, weekly, and monthly) plus daily missions completed every day; not officially published by Pokémon Masters EX. It doesn't include one-time rewards from progressing through the story, the PML arc, or Champion Stadium, which can add several thousand extra Gems the first time they're completed, nor Co-Op stickers, whose conversion into Gems is variable.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between paid Gems and unpaid Gems in Pokémon Masters EX?
Paid Gems can only be obtained by purchasing them with real money, while unpaid Gems are earned by playing: missions, login rewards, story, and events. Both work the same way inside the game, but the system spends them in a different order, and some limited-time offers only accept paid Gems.
Is it worth spending Gems on individual scout tickets?
Generally not, unless it's the final hour before a limited scout ends and you're genuinely missing a specific character. The usual approach is to save up Gems until you have enough for several pulls in a row, since the pity system (like the guaranteed 5★ on the tenth pull) makes pulling in batches more cost-effective than one at a time.
Can you get free Gems by replaying old events?
First-clear rewards from story and event battles are one-time only, so replaying content you've already finished won't give you Gems again. You can still get other materials by repeating battles, but for Gems it's best to focus on daily missions, automatic rewards, and newly released content.
