Deck the Halls (Japanese: お届け! 花咲く幸せ! Deliver! Blooming Happiness!) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss and Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey.
During this event, players could earn Merry Poinsettias, Jingle Bells, Jolly Hollies, and Festive Wreaths from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Ultimate Ornament Collection, which could only be challenged once per day. Additionally, players had a chance to obtain access to the special area Delibird's Delivery when completing one of the Ornament Gathering or Ornament Hunting areas; this area could only be played once before it had to be unlocked again. Extra decorations were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss or Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey to obtain 0.6× bonus decorations; Rosa (Holiday 2019) & Delibird or Siebold (Holiday 2019) & Octillery to obtain 0.4× bonus decorations; and Scottie/Bettie & Pikachu or Scottie/Bettie & Torchic to obtain 0.2× bonus decorations.
This event featured the Full-Force Battle, where players were challenged to defeat a large group of strong opponents. Similar to the Legendary Arena, players could use multiple teams with a limited number of total sync pairs, with the opponents' health carrying over between rounds and with previously used pairs unable to be used again until the challenge is reset. Medals could be earned by completing specific missions.
In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
First run
The event first ran from December 10, 2020, to January 1, 2021. The "Skyla Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss for the duration of the event, and the "Erika Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey for the duration of the event.
Second run
The event reran from December 22, 2021, to January 5, 2022. The "Super Spotlight Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss, Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey, Rosa (Holiday 2019) & Delibird, or Siebold (Holiday 2019) & Octillery for the duration of the event. In addition, the "5★-Guaranteed Seasonal Scout" ran during the same time period. This scout could only be used once, guaranteed that the player would receive a 5★ pair, and had a chance of recruiting Skyla (Holiday 2020) & Togekiss, Erika (Holiday 2020) & Comfey, Rosa (Holiday 2019) & Delibird, and Siebold (Holiday 2019) & Octillery. However, they did not have higher odds of appearing than any other sync pairs available in the scout.
Plot
Skyla and the player meet up with Erika on the streets of Pasio, with Erika gazing at a large tree in the centre of the plaza. Erika reveals that she had been thinking about decorating the area with flower arrangements, but then had noticed the large tree which she would like to decorate instead. Skyla and the player offer to help decorate the tree with Erika by searching for Berries and other decorations.
Erika makes a flower wreath based on her Comfey, which Skyla's Togekiss places high up on the tree. However, the wreath soon flies away due to a strong gust of wind, landing close to a Street Thug and his own Comfey. Despite the Street Thug's insistence, his Comfey wants to keep the wreath for itself. Erika suggests that they do something fun to make his Comfey more comfortable in letting the wreath go. The three then battle the Street Thug, after which they receive the wreath. The group, along with the Street Thug's help, finish off decorating the tree, giving joy to those around.

Skyla | Erika, look! It's <player>! We were just about to do something fun with my Togekiss and Erika's Comfey! |
Erika | Would you care to join us? |
Skyla | Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun! |

(Town) | |
Skyla | I'm pretty sure Erika said she'd be somewhere around here. |
Erika | What a large tree this is! I'm sure with a little work, it would be so lovely. |
Skyla | Oh! There you are, Erika! |
Erika | Oh dear! Hello there, Skyla! I've been waiting for you and <player>! Actually, I was just thinking how lovely it would be to decorate this tree! |
Skyla | Wow! With a tree this big, it'd be fun for sure! |
Erika | Yes, no doubt it would. I've done many flower arrangements in the past... but this would be my first time decorating a tree this large! I'm sure it would be quite enjoyable! |
Skyla | Amazing! But why did you choose a tree? Don't you specialize in flower arrangements? |
Erika | True—I do. I started off thinking that it would make a lot of people happy to decorate this area with a flower arrangement! And I was deep in thought about what flowers I should use. But then I noticed this magnificent tree standing here! If we could decorate such an enormous tree, I'm sure it would make a lot of people happy! |
Skyla | How about we help you out with that? With my Togekiss helping, it'll be super easy to decorate those really hard-to-reach spots! Let me help you bring smiles to everyone's faces! |
Erika | That would be lovely! Then do you think you could help me gather some decorations to put on the tree? |
Skyla | Of course! Right, <player>? |
Erika | Leave it to me!: Thank you so much, <player>. |
Skyla | Let's get ready to deliver some joy!: OK! Time for an express delivery of joy! Let's hit the runway! All right! There's bound to be some nice things to use as decorations around here! How were you thinking of decorating the tree? |
Erika | Let's see... Of course, it would be nice to have some flowers. But it might be even better if we can also use Berries and items as decorations! |
Skyla | Wait, what?! I get the Berries...but using items as decorations? |
Erika | The true essence of flower arrangement isn't limited to just flowers. Adding things other than flowers to an arrangement helps the flowers themselves stand out and shine even more! |
Skyla | Oh, I see! In that case, leave finding those decorations to me! By the way, those clothes you're wearing look so soft, just like a flower. And they match Comfey, too! I love it! |
Erika | Thank you! I figured since I'm trying a new kind of flower arrangement, I should change my look to match that feeling! I hope my clothes and Comfey's help can spark some positive inspiration as we decorate! |
Skyla | I know just what you mean! I wore something different today because I wanted to work hard together with Togekiss! |
Erika | You both look great!: I'm glad you think so! It was worth making the effort to dress up! It's your passion for fashion!: "Passion for fashion?" That sure has a nice ring to it! |
Skyla | OK, time to head out to search for decorations! |

Skyla | Erika! Where do you want to put this wreath? |
Erika | Let's put it at the very top. Yes, right around there. |
Skyla | Yup, it looks good! OK, Togekiss, time to head back down! How did we do? |
Erika | Oh, it's beautiful! It's delicate yet dynamic...and the flowers do stand out so nicely! I think you may have a natural gift for flower arrangement, Skyla! |
Skyla | No, not at all! It's all thanks to your directions! They were perfect! |
Erika | Why, thank you! Next, we have these Berries that we can use— |
Skyla | Whoa, that's a strong gust of wind. Oh no! Erika! Look at that! |
Erika | Oh my! Comfey's wreath is gone! |
Skyla | I think the wind may have blown it away! I'll go look for it! Be back in a jiffy! I'll help you, too!: Thanks! I think it got blown downwind! |
Erika | Let's all go search for it together!: Yes, that's a good idea. I think it must have blown downwind. |
Skyla | OK! Togekiss, could you lead the way? |
- A Comfey Arrangement

Skyla | Hmm. I don't see it, but I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere close by... We'll do our best to find it, Comfey!: It was a pretty wreath, after all! Let's find it quick! Don't worry—I'll find it for you!: Looks like that made Comfey feel a little better! Let's hurry and find it! |
Erika | That decoration was based off the wreath that Comfey makes by picking out flowers and tying them together. That must be why Comfey is so anxious to find it. |
Skyla | Don't worry—I'm sure we'll find it soon! |
??? | Now where'd you get a pretty wreath like that? |
Skyla | Hey, that person over there is holding a wreath! Could that be the decoration that Erika and Comfey made?! Let's go ask them!: Good idea! We should thank them for finding it, but we have to ask them about it first! |
Erika | That Trainer also has a Comfey!: Yes, I'd like to thank them personally for finding it. Let's go over and talk to them! |
Skyla | Um, excuse me! Could I take a look at that wreath you're holding? |
Street Thug | Hm? This wreath, you mean? So it's yours? |
Erika | Yes, that's the one my Comfey and I made! |
Street Thug | Well then, glad we found its rightful owner! Here you— Huh? What are you getting all upset about? This wreath belongs to these people! |
Skyla | Could it be it doesn't want to let go because it thinks the wreath is another Comfey? |
Street Thug | Maybe, but still...come on. That's not ours. We have to give it back! |
Erika | Wait, I've come up with an idea! Perhaps if we did something fun together, we could get your Comfey to be more comfortable with letting it go! What do you think of that? |
Skyla | That might be the way to do it! What do you think, <player>? Let's do something fun, Comfey!: Yeah! Let's have a fun Pokémon battle to make it feel more comfortable giving the wreath back! |
Erika | Let's have a fun Pokémon battle!: To make it as fun as possible, I won't hold back! I shall not lose! |

Street Thug | Did ya have fun? Then let's go ahead and give that wreath back to them, OK? |
Skyla | Thanks a bunch! With this, we can complete our tree! |
Street Thug | Hm? You're doin' something with this decoration and a tree? |
Skyla | Yup! Actually... |
(Transition to a crowd in front of the tree) | |
Street Thug | Oh, I see. So you're trying to bring some joy to everyone by decorating a large tree. What a fantastic idea! Why don't we help you out? |
Erika | Oh my, that would be lovely! How about you start with those flowers over there? |
Street Thug | Sure thing! |
Skyla | <player>, which item do you think would look good over there? |
Erika | We could make it stand out a little bit more, I think. Oh, thank you for passing me this flower, <player>! |
(Transition to the tree fully decorated) | |
Skyla | Wow, look at that! It's so pretty! |
Erika | Yes, it truly is magnificent. It turned out even nicer than I imagined! |
Beauty | Oh! I don't think I've seen such a gorgeous tree here before! |
Preschooler | Yaaay, a pwetty tree! |
Skyla | We did it, Erika! Everyone looks so happy! |
Erika | I'm so glad! It's all thanks to your help, everyone! |
Skyla | No—thank YOU! Thanks to your help, we were able to deliver a lot of joy to everyone! |
Erika | Skyla, it's a wonderful gift of joy! |
Skyla | It's the gift that keeps on giving!: Yeah! Let's keep on searching for the next thing that will bring a smile to everyone's face! It's time to hit the runway! We'll bring a smile to everyone's face!: Yeah! Let's keep on flying the Pasio skies to deliver even more happy smiles! |
