Pasio Special Stadium (Japanese: パシオ・スペシャルマッチ Pasio Special Match) is a special, limited-time event in the Champion Stadium that runs concurrently with the normal Champion Stadium challenges. During the event, players are challenged to battle against a mix of Elite Four members from different regions, with all battles sharing one featured type weakness. In addition, the Champion battle is against one of Pasio's Neo Champions, selected during a Neo Champion Stadium tournament.
The usual rules of Champion Stadium Hard Lv. 1 apply to the Pasio Special Stadium: sync pairs cannot be used again after they are used to win a battle, each round has a special parameter, and Master Mode options can be selected to make the battles more challenging and increase rewards. However, the Master Mode point rewards differ from those in the normal Champion Stadium, and Master Mode is available from the start.
A special conversation will play the first time the player logs in after a Pasio Special Stadium begins, in which the player is greeted by the Neo Champion serving as the final opponent in the stadium, informed about the event, and invited to challenge the stadium.

It reran from March 5 to 19, 2024, alongside a rerun of the Leaders of a New Era event.
