Last week, DeNA revealed the first Legendary Event heading to Pokemon Masters: Lurking Shadow, which features the debut of Giovanni & Mewtwo in the game.

Today on December 5th, the event has now gone live within the game and will last until December 19th. During this time, players who gather enough of the event’s Customer Voucher items will be able to unlock Giovanni & Mewtwo for free.
